To add to what i said above. No matter what happens to us in our dating lives when you get right down to it we all settle. A lot of people have things built up in there minds of what they want. They look for years and never find it. Sometimes we can only find something close to what we want but not exactly it. So some people keep looking' The years keep passing by. But we think that if we hold out long enough that person we want will finally come along. Years pass by and it never happens. We start to look back at all the ones we passed up and wonder if one of those might have been it but missed it because it wasn't exactly what we were looking for. But it's to late now. They moved on. They found someone else. Your still alone. Your getting older' Loneliness is really starting to settle in and the attention you use to get you no longer get. But someone finally does come along. Your best years have gone by waiting for something that never happened. This one comes along' He/she isn't exactly what you wanted but by now you realize if you don't want to live out the rest of your years alone ' You grab it while it's there. You settle. You know down deep inside you could have had this long ago. But you didn't want to settle. When all the time what you viewed as settling wasn't settling at all. Some of us let what we think we want hold us back from what we really need. We wind up missing it because of our unattainable ideas. Some of us are 40' 50' 60 years old and still alone and can't figure out why. I say look in the mirror and do some soul searching. You might find your reason.

What's worse is when you look at some people in relationships, stop, evaluate yourself and then ask yourself. . .SERIOUSLY why AM I still single????? LOL

I'm single because I fell into a serious relationship at a young age that lasted years and years and ended in heart ache. The path that followed was onerous. One relationship after another until I had to stop the maddness.

Hello my name is Jennifer, I was a relationship-aholic and have been single by choice for 2 years. Oh. . .and I'm so over it! I want off this wagon.

For those that do not choose to be single, I WILL BE STRAIGHT FORWARD, it is a matter of luck. You maybe to picky or stuck up. It maybe because you are not beautiful enough physically or mentally for the one's you want. You maybe subconsciously afraid or you maybe a in denial homosexual. To be positive, it is just not your time yet, best things happen to those who wait. Those who have the traditional physical and mental attractiveness, your time will come, others would need help, change, or get lucky.

Just to be clear from my prior thread, looks and personality is not everything but it helps! If you have neither, you have smaller odds so you should try a mail order bride, arranged marriage, etc.

You hit the nail on the head here. I can't tell you the people i have met on here that have the personality of a sledge hammer ' are weird acting' and as about as much fun to be around as a all night dentist. They wonder why they can't get a date.

Another here that gets asked that question alot. I'll be 30 in February of next year. I just usually give the answer of haven't met the right person but in reality it's one of those mysteries that will never get solved.

My lady friends are all like "but your such a nice guy" which then I point out to them ncie guys finish last. Then I point out all of there relationships with all of their winning picks (note the sarcasm) and they usually are left just dumbfounded.

Come to think of it I think I just figured it out. The women that I know or have met (Ladies make note that I'm not about to throw all of you under the bus) are the kinds that make such bad choices in their relationships that my radar for dumb just goes off and somehow prevents me from even wanting to even attempt to go out with them, even if on a subconcious level.

Women are somehow programmed to say the "but you're so nice" line, but it's entirely untrue. I'm a monster and still I spend more time alone than not.

Don't worry about 6 pack. Don't even let them stop you for looking for a friend. Those who look only for 6 pack, showing you how shallow they personality is.
No one is perfect and eventually every one will find someone one day. I believe in it and keep on searching.

I'm still single because I have thrown in the towel and given up. 7 years being single and I have heard every rejection line that must exist. At first it bothered me, but I now enjoy being single and do what I feel.
Also some of us are just not considered dating material or in someone's league. Nothing wrong with that. Just have to have fun, be yourself and be happy in life. Be it single or not.

38 and still single for a couple of reasons:

1) about a decade ago I put way too much time and effort into a woman who never ended maturing into who I initially thought she was (glad I had the good sense to get out)

and

2) I refuse to compromise on the things I want in a partner. On top of that, I don't search very aggressively for the right one. Hopefully the stars align at some point sooner than later. I don't want to be the oldest Dad at the tee-ball game.

I think with the invention of online dating, facebook, myspace etc. It has become all based on image/looks/style.
The majority of people today who are single meet online, speed dating etc. Rarely do they meet through others. So attractiveness plays the most important role for the majority.
As the old saying goes "Looks gets you in the door"
So when you are just average looking, you won't even get the door to open. How can you then sell yourself if you are a great guy or fun etc? You can't. Only by luck that someone says something positive about you, then you have a good word put in. But then again this is 2009, who actually approaches people they do not know? Hardly anyone.
So online dating, for those who are good looking.

sort of an oxymoron thing, because i can, when not many women want to, go figure, and handle a musician, all music is sweet

Anyone who's single isn't trying hard enough, pardon the pun. I know from personal experience i've been focused on business nearly 24/7 going on 5yrs now, before that I had a girlfriend. Men if you're out in public and a girl gives you those f*ck me eyes act on it. To many men these days are concerned about image, rejection, and all the other mental barriers that keep them from meeting someone they can connect with.

If I am" such a nice guy"than I think from now on I'll try being a major league ***hole, because they seem to have more success with the ladies than I do.
