Posted: 6/14/2009 9:05:57 PM | Most times women are single for two reasons
1- Independent. I could never to this day understand why men are intimidated by this? Give me an independent, hard working, fun, educated woman anyday. But seems many of them have been screwed around.
2- Dependent on a man for too much. Seems men will date these women most commonly and I have no clue why?
I would love to meet a woman who will take turns paying for nights out. Split the groceries for dinner instead of one buying them all the time. One pays for the movie ticket, the other pays for the popcorn and coke. One pays for the baseball tickets, the other for the hot dogs and drinks. But what I find most common are women who want the guy to pay for it all. Sad. And the women reply "He should be happy I am with him" Ya nice answer!!
You all fall into one of those two catagories. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:19:23 AM | | I know many women who are like the one you decribed as being appealing. (1) Seems as if maybe the problem is that those women are not to your liking as far as appearance goes or there is something about their personalities that you do not like? | |

I find it hard to believe when guys say they can never find women like this. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 9:59:11 AM | Hard to believe? Are you kidding me? Most women seem to want to keep thier money for themselves, spend it on what they want and then expect a guy to pay when they go somewhere.
It is the same as saying men and women can't find decent men and women. Because they are becoming few and far between. More and more people are becoming more and more selfish, seems what is in it for them is what matters. That is aimed at both men and women.
I respect those women who on a night out have no problem splitting up the expense of the night. Like the ones I mentioned. One buys the movie tickets, the other buys the food for the movie. Not many women are this way. This is why I am still single. I guess because I am cheap and refuse to pay for nights out all the time. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 10:02:55 AM | I'm single because I have more issues than most magazines.
Okay, maybe not that bad, but I have found as I have grown older the list of 'must haves' has grown a great deal and I just don't pursue women whom have traits I have found to be deal breakers now that in the past would not have been a big deal. When you discriminate based on weight, intelligence (not to be confused with formal education), credit/work issues and lifestyle, it seriously cuts your numbers of potential matches a big deal.
And then once I find someone who does appeal to me, then they get to run me throw their relationship filters as well and it's generally same old story... The ones I like aren't interested, the ones who like me don't appeal to me. Sometimes I wish I would have settled years ago, but if I had done so most likely I would just be divorced by now. :) | |

I've actually had quite a few women offer to pay their share and it always bugs me. If I ask a lady out, I just assume I will be paying and that is that. No biggie on my part and frankly I always feel weird when a lady offer to pay. I never accept, but sometimes you meet those who are adamant about it.
Now if we are dating (as opposed to a date), it is nice to have a partner share some of the expenses. | |

Maybe you should try bringing it up in a conversation before going out with someone new? That way, you'll know up front whether they expect you to pay or not. Since you'd rather have someone who splits the bill, you'll know who those ladies are from the beginning. | |

I don't date anymore. My experience has been I am expected to pay and when people say "Oh big deal what is a few dollars" well it adds up when you may go on a date say 5 times in a month for example?
I have brought it up to women and they immediately think "Cheap" and so I realize that I am to let the girl decide where to go and I am to pay.
So why bother dating if this is the way it has to be? Women hate to part with thier money unless it is for shoes, clothes, accessories. Guys are not supposed to spend money on themselves.
This is why it is hard to find a woman out there who has a mondern mentality and not a "me" mentality.
More women feel a coffee date is not good, they want to go for drinks. So when drinks cost about $7 each, she has four and I have four, add in appetizers then that ain't no cheap night out.
But to women they figure $60 is nothing for a guy to spend on a night out for her and him. This is why I am single, I refuse to pay everytime I go out on a date. So why date. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 5:24:27 PM | | Maybe it was the kind of women you were choosing to date? I never expect the guy to pay and always offer. Some haven't let me pay, but I offered anyway. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:37:49 PM | | It's a pain in the ass to answer..people think if your still single you must not be a good catch..that's bs. I've been divorced for 8 yrs and wanted to wait until I met the right one that would be forever instead of this serial dating crap. I'll tell you what, I know the person is right when she accepts me for what type of man I am, not by "things" ..I have a deal going where I am finally going tobecome a partner and I'll tell you what..I'm not getting married especially to anyone I have dated before or am friends with. If the person likes yo then she'll hang in through the times instead of an instant wealth. Sorry went off a tangine..thought I was on facebook for a minute..haha | |

Posted: 6/17/2009 2:42:35 AM | From what I'm reading on this thread, I'm one of the very few people who actually LIKES being single.
If being married is so great that so many people seem to pursue it as a goal in life then why do so many marriages end up in divorce?
Hello? | |

Well, it has to do with oneself and who you attract. Everybody's a sender/receiver. Some men/women will tune into that frequency and before you know it, you're communicating. However, depending on what you're putting out there, it'll come back to you. That's why a lot of people including myself wonder why they're constantly dating the same man/woman but with a different name. That's one heck of a good reason why I'm still single after countless of dates. As a matter of fact, I'm done with it for now. A few days ago I deleted my account somewhere else and moved on (and yes, I'm here only for the forum). I spent 3 years there dating women without finding the right one for me. The longest relationship lasted about a month.
I also think that a lot of people don't even know what they want. This is especially true after so many dates that you've lost count. It becomes routine and one date doesn't mean more than the next. So how in the world are you supposed to find HIM or HER that way? You won't - ever. Many people complain about not getting answers to their messages, you know what, who gives a $hit? The ones who don't answer are the ones who are not picking up your frequency. So what if only 5 out of 50, or even a 100 replies? Well, that's only the true face of online dating. Very few are serious and honest to themselves and others. It's a game from A-Z. They take on a role and play it out and enjoy the attention that they get - an ego-boost. | |

Posted: 6/22/2009 4:13:20 PM | I get this all the time...literally...in every social situation and I get asked that by every guy on these sites that decides to talk to me.
The answer...I don't know.
Yes, I've had an interesting life so far, but I'm not done!
I'll be 36 this week and I just can't believe it!!! 26 was just yesterday and 16 was just a week before that! Where did the time go. I look and feel the same!
I'd like to have someone in my life, but my life hasn't stopped because I didn't.
I didn't ever settle for whatever guy would have me.
I was so busy having fun I didn't notice I was single.
I met a nice guy, then he yelled at my dog...so I reconsidered.
I met a jerk and dated him anyway. These of course do not end well! haha
My ex-husband is too old for me now.
I wish the cute ones were more mature and the mature ones were cuter.
I trolled the park, but all the guys were gay.
All the guys that wanted to date me were just trying to cheat on their wives.
I could go on and on...but the fact is, it doesn't matter. We're single and we should enjoy each day, with or without a man. | |

Posted: 6/22/2009 9:46:09 PM | My bride was struck in the head by an asteroid just as she was getting ready to say "I do" and I just haven't been able to get over it. I'm afraid of falling in love again only to have the girl be killed by an asteroid.
Also, haven't met a girl I want to marry yet. Longest relationship was 6 years. I will NOT waste another girl's time like that again. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 9:53:17 AM | | I'm single because I'm searching for the woman who accepts me as I appear, sound and behave. So far, the women I've met have been disappointed. That's okay; I know that the right lady is out there somewhere. | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 3:59:37 PM | I get this a lot, usually from guys chatting me up ?
1) I've become more specific about who I'd like to spend my quality time with.
2) I really enjoy being single and so can afford to wait until I meet someone I really enjoy the company of. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 7:24:15 PM | I get the same question sometimes and I am single because I have been raising my two girls on my own for the last 13 years. I was so busy raising them and working trying to make a way better life then we had before that the years just snuck past me, now that they are teenagers and don't need me as much as they did when they were little, I feel that I missed out on my opportunity for a real meaningful relationship but as long as my girls are happy I guess that is all that really matters because that means that all of my hard work paid off in the end. | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 8:15:13 AM | I'm single because I was cheated on by my ex, and have a LOT more respect for myself now. Trust is slow to arrive, and I live by the rule: No Expectations = No Frustrations. I am also single because most of the men I meet are either taken, or married to women that love them and they aren't interested, or don't love them and they want to cheat, or are single and still shopping. NEVER feel like there's "something wrong" with you by someone else's standards. Life's too short for that b.s. You are 100% complete, and " a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle". The only thing I ever have trouble with (in this situation) is the family get-togethers when I am the only single one there. That can be un-comfortable sometimes. Be strong, lady.  | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 9:34:12 AM | I am still single because I have not found a person that I can not be without. I have friends who I was interested in at one point and still talk to regularly, but they have become friends and not lovers.
After reading some of the replys on here, it seems there are many reasons that somewhat relate to my situations I have gone through.
To the one lady who offers to pay, do you insist or just offer? Would you be offended if they guy said yes? Just a situation I have come across. If you are genuine in the offer, that is great. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 4:00:59 AM | I would have to say the single most reason I am still single is that I have been too picky. I won't go into details because I would probably end up offending someone talking about the reasons I have not pursued some women. However,I am open to discussing this further in private with the right woman. For starters,she must be a Christian. Yeah,that criteria alone has drastically reduced the number of women I can date but what can I do. Heh. God bless.  | |
