Posted: 3/15/2008 8:16:25 PM | I am always asked, "When are you getting married?"
I tell them, "probably never."
They ask, "Why?"
I reply, "Because women are crazier than shithouse rats, and I'm an ***hole!"
That usually ends their inquisition. | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 4:43:32 PM | | I think in our 30's everyone hears it from time to time...for me the answer is simple...i still havent met her yet nor have any friendships developed into something deeper. Rest assured...the question though will not go away! | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 4:53:02 PM | I didn't read the whole thread, but a friend of mine who is 46 was asked this over the weekend ~ not by a date, just a guy at a dinner party.
Her response ~ "Because I'm a slut."  Everyone laughed and the topic was OVER!  | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 5:07:57 PM | I am the only one in my family, that is not married, or has kids. I like being able to come and go. But people tend to forget just because you have not got a significant other does not mean you are not busy or have a life. They sometimes take that for granted. I don't date much, probably never will. I have always had high standards. But still am looking for the "one" ....One day. I will find him..Like me he may not be perfect, and maybe older, but that's okay.. | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 10:11:41 PM | Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?" The girl said:"NO!" And the girl lived happily ever-after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't get fat, traveled more, had many lovers, didn't save money, and had all the hot water to herself. She went to the theater, never watched sports, never wore friggin' lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous in sweat pants and was pleasant all the time.
The End
I'm not saying I feel this way, per se, but what it is is what you make it! I fear the disappointment and suffocation of sharing an average sized closet and bedroom space with someone who over time stops caring about doing all the things he used to do to get me. Or becoming dependent on someone who take my devotion for granted. I don't want to become the poor wife who's provided for but her husband is running the street with tramps either. What I do want is a secret until I think I've found it. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 4:36:00 PM | | Yeah, I hate that question too... I get it all the time, and don't understand why people haven't figured out that life changes along the way, we make choices, and move on... including in relationships... (or choosing not to have one?) ... seems like an odd question to me actually.... for all you know the person is widow/widower... | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 4:51:48 PM | Mine's pretty straight forward right now...because I want to be. I did the whole rush into marriage thing and that didn't work (probably why I'm here now  ). I am now takin my time, enjoying meeting new people, and makin' D A M N sure that if I do end up in another LTR it'll be with someone that shares my interests. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 5:50:36 PM | its not only that but also co-workers, acquaintainces and family members, I guess there have no other things in life but to snoop into your private affairs.
I've been single for awhile now. I *do not* need a partner to make me complete. If it happens, it happens. Just go with the flow. :) | |

I didn't expect to be single at 40, I met my husband in college and loved him to bits - there are some things you just have no control over, he died five years ago. Since then I've been back to college and kind of found out who I am again.
I seem to fall into the crack between guys who just want sex - who I'm not interested in, and guys who want to get married and have kids - who I'm not interested in. Plus I don't seem to attract men that I'm attracted to. I work from home and have very few single friends so it's hard to meet new people. I've now turned 40 and I feel I'm in competition with women ten years my junior for men my own age. I don't want to get married again, I don't feel optamistic about meeting someone who shares my outlook on life.

Posted: 3/19/2008 12:18:30 PM | | the truth of the matter is, it's hard to believe that their are soooooooooooooo many beautiful single females out there. When I browse at the pics online I'm in disbelief that all these beautiful ladies, don't have a man. whats up with that??? | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 3:26:08 PM | | Nike: They are single because the top 1% of guys in the looks and wealth department are usually the only men they are interested in and it's slim pickings in that top 1%. | |

And you think women don't feel exactly the same about guys? Change 'looks and wealth' for 'hot and stacked'.

Posted: 3/19/2008 10:48:10 PM | Because the world fails to cater to my every whim! J/k I suppose it's either due to focus, or just not finding the girl in tiny connecticut (slim pickens) who is smart, funny, fun and loves the UFC!!!

Posted: 3/20/2008 10:38:54 AM | Probably because during my 20's & 30's I was essentially married to a corporate career which paid me quite well but took me away from everything and everybody for extended periods of time and I just felt like it wasn't the responsible thing to do ... marry someone and then leave for weeks at a time while I went and made a paycheck.
And I've NEVER had a regular 9-5, 5 days / week kind of job that allowed me to come home every night and have the traditional life that most people know.
Now, in my 40's, I have the coolest job / life on the planet ... it's probably considered to be a bit unconventional by many so I imagine that most potential partners would have issues with buying into it ... if they only knew what I know! Truth is, my life is so incredibly good and fulfilling at the moment that I don't know that I'm willing to give up what I have for the sake of having a traditional relationship ... not saying that I'm opposed too sharing this experience as it would be even better if I was doing what I do with my partner ... but that person is probably going to have to step out of their own box and go with what I have rolling and I don't know that many women really would want to do that.
Plus, I know that any potential partner is not going to fit any standard mold ... the person that will bond with me will be as unique and original in her own right as I am ... doubt seriously that "opposites attract" is going to work here.

Posted: 3/20/2008 10:50:52 AM | Is it possible I'm just too damn good-looking and wonderful? I guess women are too intimated to talk to me  | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 4:42:36 PM | I think the reason we are all single is because we want to be. I don't put up with anyone's crap and I don't plan to. The people who I know who are in relationships (long term or whatever) are very unhappy. They seem to always complain about thier significant other all the time. The only happily married people I know of are the ones who make a concience effort to stay that way, and that means whatever you want it to mean.
This all may have already been said on this thread but I thought I would agree! | |

the fact that I'm very happily single and NOT looking for my ex-husband has nothing to do with it. My experience is that "top 1%" doesn't like to do the same things I do anyway so.....sorry, but this is one gal that's truely single just because she wants to be.
