| Why is a great person like you single?
Posted: 7/2/2008 1:44:52 PM | | I think one thing we are missing about this question is it's context and usage. I have seen times where it is used merely to express a compliment to someone saying that it is a surprise that they are single because they are a great person. | |

| Why is a great person like you single?
Posted: 8/9/2008 6:30:42 PM | Most people that I know ask me this same question over and over again. I have come to see this as an insult because they think something is wrong with me. Around here where I live, people put great emphasis on being married or in a relationship. I think it's stereotypical of married couples to put that kind of pressure on someone such as myself. It's almost like they are bound and determined to get you attached so they do not feel threatened by their own insecurity in any way. It makes me feel like they are trying to say to me,"Well, there must be something wrong with you."
Usually I tell people like this, "I'm single because I just will not settle for anything less than what I consider to be Mr.Right." | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 6:41:48 PM | I ask myself this question all the time.
I have narrowed it down to two things:
1. I always choose the butthole
2. the butthole always chooses me.
Okay thats my theory- others theories that others see is my problem:
1. They have no freaking clue.
Its interesting as I scope out some profiles when Im bored I wonder
the same thing- why are they here, they have tons to offer.
They seem like a very good person. I think it comes down to that our
timing is off- we are just not in the right place at the right time or in the
right place, but its the wrong time.
Hope springs eternal and I feel eventually we will all meet what is right
for us- in due time. | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 7:34:39 PM | | Well, I too have asked myself that question. Sometimes, I think it's because I still have things that a higher being thinks I need to learn, ...and I know that I'm a bit on the scared side now, to get involved...but who knows? I'm not so thrilled about how my past experiences have played with my mind...but everyday I get a bit more open to possibilities. And I do wonder what the future holds - but the present is not bad as a single person. A lot less drama, anyway. | |

Subject: Why is a great person like you single?
Message: I get tired of being asked this question. If I had 10 bucks for every time I have been asked it, I'd be a rich woman. I'm single because I am. It's not a life style choice. Just the way it is right now. I'm running out of creative answers to this question. Any one care to help?
I get this question alot and all too many times I hear it from ladies who won't give me a chance then they end up dating liars and cheats and some have even married them. | |

Well I caught me a good one once, but she chewed her leg off to get away....
"well, you look ok but its probably because your breasts arent big enough"..
thanks for the coffee-snorting laughs - needed a new keyboard anyway | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 4:20:10 PM | Many people have asked me that question, the answer in my case is very simple.lol
I don't think he exists.
I could be asking for too much, a warm personality and genuine heart!
I get disappointed when men pretend to be everything I am looking for, and
after a few conversations, or dates, I know they aren't authentic as to who
they are. I remember what they say.
Perhaps if they were more honest with themselves,  and knew what they
truly wanted, there wouldn't be so many singles. Obviously I feel men
are just or more complicated than women.
We can't live with them or without them! | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 4:31:24 PM | And here I was thinking I was the only one that got asked that question... Now I don't feel so alone. I asked that on one date... mainly because I felt out of my league. They told me, "I guess you think something is wrong with me." Never would say that again, and now it makes me feel that way!  | |

Men are more complicated than women?????.......
Isn't it amazing how each gender analyzes the other and themselves, and comes up with such a conclusion?????......
Let's just suffice it to say, that both men and women are very complicated overall, and that is one reason why we have so many of us soooooo single.....
OT........I choose to be single because of my complication, and my situation, and that has little to do with how great I may or may not be, and much more to do with who I may or may not want to be, and with whom that may happen with over time.....
Just my opinion.........  
PS......And thank you for the compliment...... | |

Due to the fact that the majority of women go for tall/dark/rich/handsome men even if they are nasty pieces of work. Unfortunately the things that matter such as wit,intelect,passion,empaty etc are hidden within and unless you happen to have an exterior which allows you to get to display these things or something else which overcomes any shortcomings (such as money) no-one will ever bother to find out what a nice person you are.

Posted: 8/11/2008 10:35:21 AM | How about "I'm single by choice".
Some of us don't actually need to be in a "relationship" for the sake of being in a relationship. I feel "whole" all on my own..so until I find a man who feels the same way...I'm content to stand still and let the universe unfold around me as it's meant to be. I'd rather stay single until "Mr. Right" comes along. I'm not interested in wasting my time and energy on "Mr. Right For Now". | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 10:55:30 AM | | i'm still single because the only local men i've had any interaction with for more than friendship, (online, phone or real life situations) all turn out to be wrapped up in someone else just wanting me on the side..sorry, i dont play that way. sometimes it wasnt obvious up front that i was being emotionally scammed like that...i'd rather be single than knowingly be a part of that kind of hell....so i'm single | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 8:22:01 PM | Thank you c deacon, I do appreciate you acknowledging both men and women
are complicated! It seems as though we are all independent and seem
grow apart instead of together, I do try and be as flexible as possible. Maybe
that is what we all should do!
Thank you | |
