| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 3/25/2009 8:20:52 PM | Wow. This is a very good subject for being single and 30+.
I recently flipped through a magazine that had a caption "Single girl survial guide". I actually thought, there would be something in there about how females actually deal with situations such as these. But no. It was all about the perfect hand bag, the newest shoes, the bold pattern dresses. Give.....me......a break. So...bizegurl, why are you single? let's stop the bullshit. I'm single for many reasons.....I gave my life and my hear to my husband, had two kids and he turned into an ***hole after we had them. I didn't want to live that way, so I CHOSE to leave him. Then..years later...my fiance decided he didn't want to marry me...so left me single. We're not really single by choice, or because of our job or our looks. It's fate. What we are going through is meant to be. And I choose to make the best of it because I can. I've gone sky diving, learned kung fu, took golf lessons. The sky is the limit. But the thing is...married people or unhappy people in relationships I think are a tad jealous of our situation. Because we can see woever we want. We can DO whatever we want and we can focus on OUR needs..which sometimes get lost in a relationship. So they attack us by asking that question. It just makes me role my eyes to the simple mind! Single? Live it. Learn it. Love it! | |

The question "why are you still single?" is a silly pseudoquestion. It presumes that to be single is something to be apologized for or explained. It is not. It can be a choice. That's all. It would be just as appropriate to ask a person who asks you "Why are you still single?" the question "Why are you still married?"
We each make choices and when we are grown up we know that every choice carries consequences. We do NOT have to live in endless evaluation of ourselves by standards set by others. | |

My mom scares off the girls she doesn't like.
I work too much. | |

The grass is always greener over the septic tank. It looks great over there but that facade of beautiful green grass is sometimes just hiding the s**t that is the reality of their relationship. | |

We'll see how much fun you are having when you are old, gray, alone with no man, children or grand children. You'll be just like that old lady in To Kill a Mocking Bird who yelled at the kids for walking on her grass. LOL!

Of course you don't know which is worse because you have never been in the position of "never finding anyone". I know what it is like to both "never finding someone" and not having a child. If I was blessed with a son and my wife left, and left him with me, I'd be a happy man. | |

Too funny! Then again, Tommy Lee of Motley Crue plays the drums and ride motorcycles. Then again he's got several things going for him: money and fame, being tall, and well, you'd have to watch the honeymoon video with him and Pamela Anderson to figure that one out!  | |

Posted: 3/26/2009 10:13:52 PM | No, I hear it everytime.
My answer is simple ...
A good friend told me once, when I asked him why I'm still single and did the whole 'sob story' what-is-wrong-with-me routine over a beer, that I have "a broken picker". I turned to him and asked what he meant, and he said "you just can't pick the right one, it's totally broken".
Looking back at the bipolar, the schizophrenic, the porn star, etc that I've had a relationship with ... yep ... my picker is COMPLETELY broken. But, the warranty has expired and my only choice is to just keep going and home eventually, by sheer dumb luck ... I'll finally meet the right one =) | |

Posted: 3/27/2009 5:58:19 AM | I am still single because I was married young. I learned through life that I cannot settle. My brother told me after he got married and was wondering when I would (he is older). Dude, when are you going to stop being picky and settle? There is too much weight put on marriage. Why would anyone want to marry someone who they are absolutely not in love with. It only ends in disaster and a lot of money.
For me the women I do date, usually 30-35, no kids. They are either very selfish or want to have kids now. Both are immediate turn offs for me. I will say dating in your 30's suck, pickings are very slim. | |

Posted: 3/27/2009 7:01:21 PM | A man once went on one knee and proposed to his girl friend.
She said "no"
He then road motorcycles, drank beer, stayed out till all hours, farted in bed, bought what he wanted, and lived happily ever after.
The End

Posted: 3/27/2009 7:28:11 PM | | I am going to just guess,The world has changed,Men a for years were needed too make a living for their family,well that has changed guys.women now make up the majority of the workforce.So what does that say,to men.Well,I really do not know,But what I do know ,is as far as money ,she can do just fine without you,so think about it.Women do need to marry any more.so we guys have to figure it out ,for all of the time since cave man days,how to make ourselves needed again | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 12:51:35 AM | That question is somewhat flattering and somewhat annoying. I think it has to do with either being
a) undateable : which I suspect many people on this site are
and
b) super picky: which ALL of the people on this site think they are.... event those in category A | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 1:05:15 AM | Really, suddenly by asking the question it makes it all so clear now, duh ~ I am single. Wow, I never noticed until you pointed it out.
I dont want kids, that ought to have nixed about 98 percent of all relationships that I have ever been in, could have been in, wanted to have been in.
I dont want to get married. That should button up the remaining 2 percent.
So I suppose there is your answer, I simply dont want to. doesnt mean I want to spend the rest of my life as a hermit; just means I hated being a kid, and I have yet to see a single marriage work; so really whats the point in either. | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 8:52:23 AM | | Ladies, when a guy ask this question, it is not to be offensive. We ask this question as a compliment, meaning you are so wonderful, that it amazes us that no one has won your heart already. We don't view you as a failure, we view you as wow, how can i get this girl. | |

| Single? Still?!?
Posted: 3/29/2009 3:07:25 PM | | I'm single now (33) because I didn't want to play all the inane games that tend to go along with dating then (23). Younger women are usually more interested in being chased than in getting to know people (you know the type, she has 7 guys who all think they're her "special fella"). Who wants to jockey for position just to find out if she's worth getting to know? Unfortunately, most of the women over 30 have found a guy and settled down, so my options wind up being either immature or unavailable. It's a good thing I'm such a fine specimen (ha-HA!). | |

| Single? Still?!?
Posted: 3/29/2009 3:37:52 PM | I have met people from all over the world who were in relationships for plenty of reasons other than to see just how far and deep the relationship would go. I have known people who dated simply because they thought it was socially expected of them. I have known people who dated some one for money, sex, to show up a friend or rival, to sate their insecurities or loneliness, and even to get their parents off their back about “finding some one.” I don’t. I won’t.
Because of that, it’s common for me to go years between dates, and even longer between relationships. As a result, I'm a bit awkward when it comes to determining whether or not a woman is interested in me, and that just compounds things. | |

Posted: 3/30/2009 6:15:09 PM | Hmmmm, lets see.
I'm a decent guy, I have morals, high standards, I'm not a douchebag, I'm not rich, and I don't beat up women.
So yeah.... all of that equals single for a looooooooooooooooooooong time.

Posted: 3/30/2009 7:15:15 PM | "There is a time for everything! A time to love, a time understand, and a time to be sinlge.
I am single through my present choice. I was in a long - term relationship, and I walked out on her and our four children. My ex partner, she is a control freak. I was a victim of her anorexia, and decided I could not stand it no more."
You walked out without helping this woman you've given your vows to "though sickness and health"?
You didn't try to help her to get past her sickness but instead left her to raise 4 children by herself? Wow! I bet she's feeling just great about herself now.
How was she a control freak? | |
