so, why are you still single?
Posted: 4/16/2008 5:35:59 PM
Dude...why is this conversation still happening? lol

So what if you're not posting it in any threads, just because you aren't posting it in threads doesn't make it void.


My point is you posted about not being someone who women find attractive, and I never brought up my screenname. You did.
Most people don't pay much attention to screennames? Hmmm, I dunno, I think that's up for debate.

I don't - this is the forums...screennames don't matter much here, unless someone wants to start a dissertation on theirs and asks for opinions.

I know, I was basically saying the same thing in the last post, but still, to me at least, not sure if it's like this to anyone else, but someone using the name 'uglybetty' sounds more like it's what they think about themselves.

Think about how it would sound if a guy used the screenname 'The 40 year old virgin'...

Well, lucky for you it doesn't matter what it means. If I saw a man with a screenname like that (and I think I have actually), I'd just assume it was humor - probably because mine is the same).

How about we get back on topic?

Because its better than the alternative of waking up to someone you realize you barely know and finding out they've whined that the spark is gone instead of keeping it aflame........(not personal experience).

Well depending on the screen name, I think most people, myself included will pay attention to it.

Ah, want the last word eh?

Okay, now we will get back on topic, lol.

I find few men who appeal to me. I am not looking for a fwb, do not want to date a man who had affairs when he was married, am looking for a man who understands monogamy when in a committed relationship, and am not interested in someone who has unresolved bitter feelings toward an ex wife or girlfriend. If he does not support or see his children he does not interest me, and if he has irresponsible children who manipulate him he also does not interest me. Not into heavy drinkers or druggies, and like men who have careers.

haha cos i keep choosing the wrong men to date!
Made to many mess ups as far as dating goes, not intending on making anymore now.

I`m content to be on my own, have been for awhile, sometimes miss the company , but if it means i`m going to get head games played if i date someone then i shall stay single !

What I love (heavy sarcasm here) is when I get "How is someone so pretty,still single?", as if being attractive to someone automatically means I am guaranteed true love and/or a relationship!
hahahahaha

You go Uglybetty, we have seen each other on these forums alot and you are a smart and down to earth girl, don't let some shallow jerk put you down.

It is obvious by your pic you are not ugly DUH. and he must not watch the show.

I tried a ton of screen names before finding one, it wasn't my fave but it works for me.

Any way this is the kind of behavior that keeps someone single, no? People don't like to be judged on petty things.

Why are you being so unpleasant to me?

I'm a shallow jerk?

We're not talking about her being ugly DUH. We're talking someone percieving themselves as ugly.

And you're right I don't watch the show, I think it's a bit shit to be honest.

So me thinking that a particular username may indicate how someone feels about themsleves is what has kept me single for all of my life? Good thinking Sherlock.

You seem like a bully, and that behaviour will keep you single.

1) I'm no good at flirting
2) Nobody flirts with me
3) I don't have good enough looks to turn heads
4) ...or a six pack
5) I have kids and still get on with their Mum (Ladies seem to have a problem with that)
6) I work shifts
7)Between kids, work and band I'm left with litle socialising time
8) All the good ones live too far away
9) I'm probably saying the wrong things because nobody ever replies if I message someone I like
10)

Same here Jaycee72, nobody flirts with me either. It's as though I give off the wrong pheremones or something.

Ross, you are being judgemental again, I was standing up for a fellow poster, I didn't mean to bully you, but you should not have been insulting in the first place.

If you were curious about why she chose that screen name, you should have e-mailed her and asked, not attempted to embarrass her on a forum by getting off the subject.

Sorry that you use this is as place where you can attack people anonymously.

That is all I will say to you on this subject.

mer: I think you're being pretty defensive. Ross wasn't insulting her about her screen name, he was just making a comment about how it could be taken. She didn't seem to take it as an insult. You're kind of jumping to conclusions by saying he's "attacking" someone. Pick a fight that actually makes sense.

I can't ever remember insulting her, if I have done than it would be because of her insulting me, which I don't think she did do. I don't insult people for no reason.


If you were curious about why she chose that screen name, you should have e-mailed her and asked, not attempted to embarrass her on a forum by getting off the subject.


Why should I have emailed her and asked? And I didn't attempt to embarrass her on the forum, where the hell did you get that from?

How is getting off the subject embarrassing her? And wasn't she off the subject too?

No offence but you're not really making any sense here.


Sorry that you use this is as place where you can attack people anonymously.


I don't but it seems like you do. How is it anonymous anyway when I have my picture and name up and everything?

Lol, I wish this site had one of those confused smilies.


That is all I will say to you on this subject.


Or is that because you don't have an argument? The more I think about it the more it seems that you just came into this topic to troll (it would explain the ludicrous non sensical claims that you're making).


Why are you still single?


Um, I've explained in this topic. Seems that you haven't even read through all of the posts that myself and uglybetty have made. Makes it look even more like your post isn't genuine and you just came in here to troll/pick a fight.

Its not like you been without GF right? You just haven't found one to spend rest of your life with. This could be a good thing. if you get married in young age, its like 70% divorce rate for under 30 years old. So maybe God or which ever higher power is looking out for you and send that right person your way. that way you won't have to worry about young age drama. Another good thing about getting married at later age is you can do all the fun stuff you want and get it out of your system.

you know what they say about young women :P They like men who are wild and partys alot. they look for excitement. When they are done playing, they tend to look for that marring type of men. "keeper's" as my ex put it.

Have faith man. Look at me. I am a truck driver. Let me tell you, its not easy finding anyone who will give me time of day. Everyone knows, most truck drivers are not home except weekends , every other week, or once a month and myth about women looking for money bag, well... shit... I make good money and I am still single :P I have faith someone will come my way, till then I go on living my life and not worry about why I am single.

good luck to ya man!

Yeah, you just hope that they didn't marry and have kids with the wild guys. The wild guys are getting these women in their prime. Once the nice guys get these women chances are they've had kids already and are past their prime. Doesn't even sound like a consolation prize to me.

if i don't hear it directly, it's implied. it's taken me years to figure out what the real answer is.

my new (& true) answer is - i just haven't found anyone that makes my life better than it is already. everyone that i was with wanted me to move to another state - or country - or didn't offer me anything that i didn't have already.

the guy i said that to said wow, that is really harsh.

then a few minutes later he said, yes, you really have a good life...

Single and in your thirties, a club I seem to know all to well these days. Day after day, the grind goes on as do we and perhaps with a little luck we can touch another’s life in a positive way. It may only be for a brief moment, but in that single instance we become something much greater than ourselves and perhaps another day will bring karma full circle so that we may too experience that gift.
