Well I could say because I have no choice and there is one out there for me but there is more too it than that. A combination of everything negative for me. Looks, personality, too picky....everything. I thinks it has gone to a point where I no longer care if I am single. I will probably just ride it out until my life runs out.

My thughts exactly. I've been in relationships, but Haven't felt the need for marriage due to these realtionships not being that close. I won't go into detail, but when you have someone who wants you around just when it's convenient for them, it kinda makes you feel weary about making a commitment. Anyway, maybe marriage wil happen one day, but in the meantime I've got to go on living because no one is going to pay my bills and take care of me except me.

I want mine to be a sure thing.

I hear it all of the time, especially when I say I haven't dated in over 5 yrs. I'm just tired of the same old same old. Good thing is, I answer to no one but my bosses.

Why? I'm still trying to figure this out. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with me? Or maybe just what i'm dong wrong?

You need a profile review, head over there and get one. Bring a helmet tho.

That and a loathing of Nascar are my undesirable traits.

I get really tired of the assumption that if you are male you are expected to like NASCAR and football.

I am as male as can be and I prefer a concert of Franz Josef Haydn to NASCAR and couldn't care less who won the Super Bowl.

As to the topic here, exactly what is wrong with being single?

I am single because I needed time alone and figure myself out. Seriously, during my twenties I was enourmous (400 lbs) and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and went out with equal amout of losers. Who wanted to settle down with me but I didn't. I had no goals and no ambition and neither did they. Who wants to settle down with someone like that? I sure didn't. There would be no security finacially.

Now at 30, I've lost 170 lbs, I have a job not a career, however because of my job (Pharmacy Technician) I know I want to work in the medical field as a career. Which is why I went back to school to follow my goal. I finally found my calling and now i am trying to pick it up! LOL

If I ever do settle down, I want somone who is my equal. I'm working so hard now to settle for anything less. So now, I have the oppurtunity to have better quaility of life as well a better quality of men.

I think that is a completely ridiculous question. What does it matter if you're still single? If the person asking you that is interested in you then it's lucky for them that you are single!

Several reasons..I like being single, I have not met a man who made me want to give up my singlemess, I am not what most men seem to be seeking, nor are most men what I am seeking. The elusive male who finds me to be the cat's pajamas who makes me smile when I think of him seems to live on another planet.

men get asked this question as much if not more than women do.
or at least that has been my experience.
I turn 43 in March 2009; women look at me like I'm the last package left on the grocery store shelf during a sale.
my reasons for being single are quite valid, but so are their reservations.
Is there something wrong with this person?
If they are physically attractive, media stereo-type attractive, why aren't they seeing anyone?
Are they cheating?
Have they been in prison?
Are they nuts?

because we have focused on the frightening shock elements that we are bombarded with in the news we expect the worst of people.

Amen to that, I have no time for any sports, nascar, hunting, fishing, what a waste of time. I know everyone needs a hobby or a way to enjoy time alone or with others, but I just can't deal with these.

When I find the woman who is offering the same deal that I am offering, then I won't be single anymore. I would love nothing more than to come face to face my female counterpart.

Simple - right now, because I choose to be. I don't email every woman that fits my search criteria, only those I have at least something in common with, and I exclude others because there are certain things that are unacceptable to me that I will not compromise on. I think one of the most accurate things I've ever seen about myself was this: you don't play hard to get, you are hard to get. I have standards, and while I didn't think they were that high, maybe they are.

There are many Reasons.

1. I've met frogs thinking they were princes.

2. The last one ,was a messed up soul thinking he would change, the more loving him, the more bruises I got on my body. That was 5 yrs ago and I've got a beautiful girl," out of ashes came beauty", she is a blessing. I had to leave and concerntate on being a mum.

3. Fools rush in and I was one of them.

4. Now ,when I think of giving my heart away, I get scared. But I know that there are nice men out there, it' a matter of when? Still ,there is no rush.


Thanks for the forums,the more I read,the more I gain from you guys.
