Posted: 3/20/2008 6:48:28 PM | | Personally , I think its because most women believe that Brad Pitt is secretly sick of Ang, and hangs out here on PlentyOfFish, in the hope of finding miss. right.. ;) | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 8:31:00 PM | Because I am?
No, really, I don't have an answer for that one. You'd think as many times as I've been asked that, I'd be able to come up with something, but nope. I got nothing.
It is what it is, I guess. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 10:11:34 PM | I am still single for many reasons, for me communication is of the utmost importance for me, and in this online forum, guys are attracted to a profile because they see and seek a challenge. It clearly states I am not for the “faint at heart” This is so true but at the same time, it reels them in, in hopes of breaking down or proving me wrong. If I do not succumb to their whims then you know what my title/handle becomes (the B word). Men want a submissive woman to suit their needs but what about YOU.
I purposely send pictures of others (not me) to see their reaction. I know I m very attractive but do not allow it to guide my life or sense of direction. Most guys are looking for a trophy - but for me I would take the ugly guy that appreciates me.
So for all of you ladies, a friend gained is a plus, quit telling these guys you are looking for a LTR, dating or whatever, they process that as desperate and having no boundaries or criteria. Never compromise who you are or what you want. Single is better than disappointment, arguing, DV any day. | |

Posted: 3/21/2008 12:49:02 AM | | I like the way you put that I am also 32 and am waiting for the right kinda gal to come along and I am sure she will but my friends think I am weird for not taking home a girl when we go out at night. I just tell them I don't want to be like they are acting, I want to go home to the girl that is at home not the one I think might be better ,I want to know I have the best . hold on it will happen for you | |

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!
That's true. I supposed I could be married right now if I had chosen to move to where my girlfriend lived (I had 2 like that). I suppose that if they hadn't lived in podunk towns I might have. | |

So, Why are you still single?..... am i the only one who hears this kind of thing?
No, you're not. I've been divorced for 7 years. The first 2 years, I was building a home for my son, and my granddaughter, and working 70 hours a week. The next 3 years, I was the partner / manager of my Dad's farm. Then I helped take care Dad when he became an invalid from bone cancer until he died.
I started dating an old friend - That lasted for 2 years, and then he informed me he didn't want anything from me except sex. I'm not going to be a "friend with benefits." I'm single because I haven't found the right one for me. And if I stay single, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I'm happy with who I am, with what I've accomplished, and with what I'm doing now. Don't let it bother you. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 7:50:56 AM | I have not found the right lady. It does not help that I'm semi picky. But heck this is my life and now also for 5 years my sons life too. So this make me more picky than ever. So I have had dates and will keep going out. Until something sticks. I did have a lady who wanted to stick, get married and such. But it just didn't feel right. Several little things and well if there was little things now that couldn't get worked out. Couldn't picture spending my life with her. So I called it off.
Hopefully one day I won't be single.

Posted: 3/22/2008 8:12:29 AM | First, Nothing is wrong with you.
Second, most possibly marry before say 30, but are divorced by 35. Therefore, you have a clean slate to offer the man of your dreams. I know from experience, that is very hard to find.
Third, it helps to add the strong and independent lifestyle that you mention. It show that you didn't just marry because "everybody else is doing it" . You have and are waiting for the real thing.
I wish you all the luck in the world!!! | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 10:20:08 AM | | I hear that a lot, too. I'm attractive, intelligent, and independent. Most of my friends want to fix me up with a "nice man" they know. I have one friend that I work with who attempts to recruit people every where we go to "help her find me a good man." I don't want anyone to FIND ME a man. I want a man to notice me and and approach me if I am someone that catches his eye. I have been married and I have to say that I have never been more lonely, than I was when I was married or with a guy who didn't treat me right. I don't need a relationship....let alone a bad one. I don't feel incomplete. I am not afraid to be alone. I am never bored or feel forced to participate in activities just because I want a man's company. I have joined several meetup groups and have such a busy social calendar that sometimes I have to force myself to stay home so that I can get some rest. Sure, I'd like to find the man of my dreams, like any other woman, but I'm not waiting with baited breath for mine; he's going to have to find me! | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 3:15:27 PM | | When I was younger i was single because I didn't want to have a child when I wasn't ready and trying to find "Mr. Right". In my 20s it was because I thought I had time to meet "Mr. Right" and I didn't want to just settle. Throughout my 30s I am still in the "don't want to settle" but I keep finding the guys who just want a one night encounter or after only a few dates become possessive. I have a coworker is pregnant and says "you're next". I would love to have a kid, but I want the husband package to go with it and the last few guys I've dated made me want to change to an area code out of the country at times. | |

Men need a car to get dates?
Actually, I went out yesterday with one that didn't - no big deal. He was a decent guy, easy to talk to, pleasant, I had a good time, and that is all that matters. :) | |

With younger girls it's a definite factor. I don't have a car and I certainly feel less of a man turning up to my date on a bicycle (!), so maybe there are some self-esteem issues in guys without cars, rather than a guy being more attractive to a woman with one. | |

Posted: 3/27/2008 2:28:00 PM | | My brother in law felt he needed to get to the root of this one night. After what seemed like an endless character analysis and dismissal of flaws he concluded that I am single because I am either a) crap at sex or b) have really bad shoes. | |

Posted: 3/27/2008 4:09:15 PM | I keep hearing that if a woman is a great cook and loves sex than she will never lack for male attention, but that theory seems to be Shot to S. since both of those describe me and a lot of other women that I know who rarely date.....
I am single since 99 percent of the men my age seem to totally ignore women who have not been married, or they want a fwb. | |

Maybe guys without cars do have a self-esteem issue, but why? If "SHE" offers to pick you up, then there's got to be at least some interest there, no? ;) Do you turn her down if she offers the ride? {leans over and whispers} She's not going to pick you up if she thinks you're lame! ;) You could always offer to pay for the gas!

Posted: 3/27/2008 10:49:05 PM | ENGAGED & found out he spent 20K trying to get his exwife back (she & I had a little friendly talk) & yes he still has his testicles and yes they are remarried.
RED FLAG RUN: Dating: Told me he worked for the City Parks & Rec Dept. but failed to mention it was a work in lieu program -vs- jail (5 DUI's) Thank You law inforcement friends!
RED FLAG RUN: Dating: At a stop light said " Can you please not use such big works 'cause I don't really understand a word you've said" Later found out rather than mow his yard he allows it to grow and then uses gasoline to 'burn' it in the fall. Reminded me of every Jeff Foxworthy joke I've ever heard (lol)
RED FLAG RUN: Dating: His 3 kids roughed my daughter up & his son 'cold****d' his sister and broke her nose the first time we left them together with a babysitter (she was his sister)
Yellow Warning Sign: Almost Engaged: Invited me to "Street Vibrations" in Reno CA. Got there and he packed Ramen Soup for the weekend stay and then told me I owed him for 1/2 the room. Never bought groceries or TP when I stayed at his house (empty fridge) and always ate at 'friends' houses every day to save $$$. Tried to give me his previous fiance's engagement ring.....wouldn't buy anything for his son and would get upset with me if I did. (I still love his son to this day - good kid)
RED FLAG RUN: Online - nude pictures sent without my requesting them.
RED FLAG RUN: Online - overly and overtly amourous.... way too "Casanova" for me. I don't think he read my profile thoroughly. | |

I don't pick men up who don't have a car...I'm sure if they wanted to be in a car, they'd own one. If we meet somewhere, I don't care how he gets there - I am sure he's used to doing whatever he normally does.
I don't have a problem with a man who has no car, but it's not going to involve the use of mine either. I have mine to get me around...he'd do the same if he wanted the convenience, just as I did. Most guys don't have cars in areas where they cost too much to own, and the public transit system is usually better/cheaper in those places than driving/garaging a car.
Picking up a guy or not has nothing to do with my interest (or lack of it). | |

Because i have a terrible habit of murdering boyfriends and burying them in my backyard.

No girl has that 2.
What the heck is beaty? Do you mean beauty? Well i guess based on your spelling ability you did not get intelligence as well. Oh yeah and it's loosen up not loosing up. | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 4:12:12 PM | It's true, some of what's been said as glanced at posts on the way to end o' thread here.
People on a dating sight mind you... email, talk, start to interact and one invariable asks... so what are you doing here? what's the catch? (in other words, what's wrong with you) Hey, I'm guilty of the thought myself ... wondering what the juicy tidbit is they haven't yet revealed.
Kind of like buying anything electronic "refurbished"? lol
When full of doubts, go look in the mirror.
Go figure! and happy fishing...  | |
