| Why is a great person like you single?
Posted: 8/21/2008 10:52:06 AM | Oh, thanks, shexygirl! I couldn't resist being a bit of a smart-aleck.
You know, it's funny. I actually hardly ever got this question in my 20s and 30s. On the other hand, I think I wasn't exactly putting out the attractive and available vibes during that time.
After a bit of a personal and professional shake-up a couple of years ago, I decided to get my act together -- that's when I lost weight and started yoga. I did other things such as changing my hairstyle, and updating my makeup and wardrobe. (And yes boys...I can indeed put my ankles way above my head! So there.)
So now, I sometimes get this question...and since I decided I was getting nowhere in being a "good woman", I'm having a heck of a lot more fun with the answer! | |

So this online dating thing is NEW to me, and there are a LOT of WEIRD/crazy people out there to say the least. I am so ready to meet my Mr. Right.... THEN...I will not be single any longer. LOL!!! Until then the questions remains unanswered. Have a wonderful day all. I agree with you Sport guy17, it is harder to find people online.  | |

I divorced late in life and raised two boys alone one is autistic.
The men I met were only players..............So I enjoy my company, it would be nicer to be involved, but if there is no one who will accept me for who I am and for what I have done, better to read a book. | |

Posted: 8/21/2008 7:14:53 PM | Ha ha, I once had a guy say to me, "I think you're terrific, if I were single..." (eyebrows up-n-down). The creepy part is that he was a big ole Mormon!
I think I'm terrific, too, but I require a man who is equally terrific AND is available. It's not so easy to find someone that you click with and who is at the same "place" you are.
Plus, I may be a little argumentative sometimes.
But I'm terrific, I tell you! | |

That is so sad but yet so true. I think I've officially given up. I can't take it anymore. | |

Posted: 8/21/2008 8:04:06 PM | Why does that sound like they have pity on me? 
Am I a great person? lol. dunno. But just in case... Because I don't live in Chicago, Calgary, London, Vancouver, or Milan. There's no one in Ottawa. Well... maybe one, but she won't respond to my ESP messages 
If I wasn't 50, my friends would think I was a fag or something. lol. Seriously. Last fall, I was at a friend's place and was on his dock helping him with his boat. "You seeing anyone yet?" "No." "You gay or something?" and pushed me in the water. lol.
I've been the type to find someone I like right away, and just stay with them. It's pretty easy to love someone if you want to, but they have to want to also. What I've found in the past, is that people tend to believe that they can make a decision, and if it turns out bad for them, they can go back and undo it. Life isn't like that.
Being single has been good for me. Not that I think being single is all that, it's not and it even sucks sometimes. But it gave me lots of time to think of nothing without having to try and explain it. lol.
I can get a date to go out, or even the cottage for the weekend, but it's just not the same. Sometimes, a warm body is the coldest. And to be honest, dating bores me.
You know, it might reduce the population of the pond if some women took a chance and contacted the odd guy with a simple "Hey. Are they biting here?" lol. | |

You would think it would be easier because you have a lot of information from the person's profile but so far, I haven't found anyone on this site. It's weird because in RL I have no trouble at all finding people but I thought I'd try the whole online dating thing out and so far it isn't working out too well. Getting an ego check on the fact that maybe i'm not as good looking as the women i've dated in the past have shown."
I wouldn't get too down on yourself. A lot of people have an idealized version of what they want and the vastness of the internet gives them the illusion that you can slice and dice the population as many times as you like and still have a big number. I think that someone who is photogenic has a tremendous advantage on line, because visual appeal is the most easily transmitted and interpreted....it is often the first "rule-in" criteria for most people.......which is a poor methodolgy for screening unless looks are in fact your #1 priority and a deal maker/breaker. If you take the male population and screen them for clooneyesque looks and then screen them for high intellect, empathy, good with kids etc, etc. you quickly approach zero......whereas if you run those screen in reverse, looking for Mr. Clooney last.......you find a lot more potential people before you get to perfect (zero).
Good luck | |

Posted: 8/21/2008 10:04:36 PM | well, why are you single???
perhaps because most guys don't catch your attention and if they do, they can't keep it?!
just say: " I'm rather single than bored to death on a date"
and say it with a big smile on your face :-))) | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 12:53:45 AM | You know I do really feel awkward when asked this, like I need to come up with an excuse or something.
"Why is a great person like you single?" --
"I am single because I am a great person?"
"Because I like not having to share the blankets?"
"Because I don't have to worry about the lid being left up in the middle of the night?"
"Because I havent met him yet!!!!!" | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 12:56:37 AM | | Dear Taxi, I know what I want in a woman and I intend to stay single until I find a woman without friends. I am not going to marry someone and her friends to, been there done that. Friends are usually extra bagage when a woman gets married. I don't like women that lies either. I am a prize catch for someone, anyone out there that doesn't have friends. If so contact me. Friends after marriage is fine as long as they are christian. doc | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 5:32:14 PM | You could say because there's only one guy you want in the entire world and you're standing in line with the other hundred women that want him.
Actually, no don't say that. | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 12:50:10 AM | I'm single, because I suck at initial encounters. I also suck at transitioning from being mr friendly to mr "I'm interested in being more than just friends".
I'm still friends with every woman I've managed to date.
I have no problems surfing, I just have issues catching waves.
Also, I'm not a big fan of rules and protocols, so that really wittles down my options.
I'm also very fussy. She needs to have an easy-going nature. That's hard to find these days. Also, I would like to be treated as an equal. Due to the supply/demand situation, I found many women take your time/company for granted.
"You could say because there's only one guy you want in the entire world and you're standing in line with the other hundred women that want him"
ha ha ha... yeah there's a certain amount of truth to that. It's called Perfect Man(tm). See my profile for details. | |
