...I actually don't get asked that question much anymore...those who know me, know why. Now they ask, "meet anyone interesting lately?"

Shexy, Yes you better believe I am serious, guess you failed the qualification too, huh? That is cool girl let everone put their two cents worth in your relationship and let them break you up, try it and see, it is simple. God will take care of the ones that broke me up, b ut then they did me a blessing and don't even know it that is what's funny. doc

LOL... I get asked this question all the time!! I just shoot it back at them....
Don't take it offensively though, just because they are asking the question doesn't mean that they think there is something wrong with us. Only we think that...LMAO
No but honestly they are just suprised we haven't been scooped up. I wonder the same thing when I meet a good looking nice guy so it works both ways.

But since you asked the question....It is quite simple I am single because I haven't met the right man who does it for me!!!

I am actually single by choice. I am not relationship material. I am too set in my ways and like things the way i like them for one. also i don't like all of the games that people play when it comes to relationships. to me its all a bunch of head games and such. and I get boarded very easily. I don't like the chase it takes too long.
Also I have children and am divorced and wont put my kids through another divorce should it happen.
Also I am way too old fashioned and now days cant find a girl that likes old fashioned men, i have been told by women I am everything a woman wants its just way too overwhelming for them.
Then there is the fact that i am cold and bitter towards relationships. and that anger and bitterness and desire to not get hurt and letting my feelings and emotions die is not a sign of weakness but strength. its what wakes me up and keeps me going.
I am also the type that has a bad self esteem problem and thinks that every woman is out of my league so why even try.
If a woman shows the slightest interest in me i run the other way (IE don't return calls, texts, or emails). its the easy way to let them down. I have found most women will chase you if they want you. and so it is better to end it then and there.
the most a woman gets out of me is friendship.
all this and i dont enjoy sex. to me sex is like taking out the trash doing the dishes or changing the oil in your car. they arent things you wanna do you do them casue you have to and put them off as long as you can

I hear you on that one.... so true, yet all the "why are you still single?" comments still come up, I really don't have an answer..... or do I?

I come to the conclusion that I am not "the dateing type", end up as some girl's older brother...now that is rude...

Another is I am "too nice of a person", ok for New Years resolution I'll treat all women like shit, it works for most of the guys who have hot women, NAH my upbringing would never allow that...

I can only save the world one event at a time, oh crap, I forgot my super hero outfit is still at the cleaners...AS IF... I am not a savior, but I'll be there if you are hurt and alone like a good friend should.

"You are too picky", damn straight I am not in the specific body type but she also has to carry herself in a conversation, I am not a babysitter and not a puppeteer, if I wanted something to say exactly what I wanted to hear I would buy a parrot, and save all that money going to a club for the few drinks I actually have.

I think I am "just right", not "a bad guy" or the "perfect guy", just one that wants to find one that compliments me as I would compliment her, it is like a job that constantly needs work and attention, haveing said that I have found very little women that want to put that kind of effort into a relationship ...so... in the mean time I'll stay single til I find her... and I'll know it is her, she'll be the one with the bat saying" I am here" lol, take care everybody.

I am surprised people take offense to such a question.

I have had it asked of me and I only took it as a great compliment.

i guess i'm not the dating type either. Every girl i've met up with or started dated in the past two/three years i've lucked out. and its getting really old fast.

I considering plastic surgury (someone broke my nose in high school and i havent liked it since, that and my smile sucks) because it has to be with my appearence....cant think of much else

Mr. Who hasn't shown up yet


I visited a media museum a few weeks ago. Managed to stumble into a room showing the original "Horton hears a Who".

For those who've seen it, it's excellent psychology, when you view it up against our mordern day society. I swear that ostrich reminds me of so many people.

Of course, the kids in the room were laughing their faces off. My gears were turning.
Fantastic, when you think about it.

But then again, someone who finds depth, intelligence and muse from a cartoon obviously frolics in mud. Frazzled hair, screaming unintelligables while eating jungle flora and fauna.

I'm that guy, right ?


As I always cap off, I'm but one fish among millions. What do I know ?

If the person who asks is single, fire same back at them. If they're not, tell them you wouldn't touch their spouse with a 20 foot barge pole! If they're just being condescending, tell them to feck off and bring your weight HARD down on their instep.

Depends if the woman wants to give me the time of the day to get to know me. That would be a good start. I think a lot of people have a requirement list that they stick by without any grey area. It's either 100% or nothing.

Seriously, speaking from a guy's point of view it's all about the woman wanting to talk to you. Doesn't matter if they don't past the 'picture' phase and decide to give you a shot.

I'm think im a normal person. I consider myself to be polite and a good person at heart. But to a point it doesn't matter what type of character you have. It has been discussed a lot on here, it's how your picture looks then post'picture phase' then you get a conversation.

Greatness is a subjective opinion.

Next time you're asked this, just look them in the eye & tell them that you're only single until you close on a house with a bigger back yard...

Because you've run out of places to bury the bodies.

"Because all the men who fancy me are either married or have mental health issues...which one are you?"
Sadly true by the way!

Because I do not "need" a relationship! I am just fine with out someone in my life!

Yet I do "want" someone to share it with!

Then add in the "I'm to damn picky" part in to the equation..

I have dated enough to realize when a person is not ready or to unhealthy to date!
I have no want to "raise" a girlfriend! Some need to think about dating a bellhop to help them will all the baggage they have!

Because I want someone who loves me. I want someone I love too. Sadly, there aren't many 6-breasted, 6-legged females on this planet.
