Sure I've dated here and there but nothing ever blossomed into anything long-term. Most of my female friends, all accomplished, educated and gainfully employed who also moved here in their 20's and are now in their 30's are still single as well.
Sounds to me like you're simply meeting the wrong guys. Where do you guys look?

And the guys who just try to get in the pants of females like those are the smart ones IMO. A smart dude on his grind is not going to wife up somebody like that. A female like that has bitter, nagging, and just overall attitude written all over it. No thanks...lol

I'm not picky. I have been open to dating all kinds of men. I personally don't care about a guy's occupation as long as he's hard working, mature and responsible with what he has. I work hard every day and handle my responsibilities and I expect the same in a partner. That's just basic and what is called being a grown-up.

But it's hard to be picky when you don't have men approaching you in the first place. I NEVER get asked out by anyone.

If you're good looking, a lot of "nice guys" will be intimidated, or will simply assume you're already taken.

I see every day I set foot outside my door as an opportunity and possibility to meet someone.

I go different places and do different things. We don't hang out in specific places all the time. We go different places. I've even asked friends if they could fix me up with anyone to which the always reply that they don't know anyone they could fix me up with--yet they always say I'm so beautiful with a nice personality and they don't understand why I'm alone.

Have you tried church singles groups?

Perhaps singles events through events and adventures, just saying.

Sounds like they're all lying. Your friends know what's up but are unwilling to tell you. This is the advisable tactic for women who display "well poisoning" behaviors.

It's sounds like you have the right attitude, and I can understand it being quite frustrating.

I have a lot of professional male friends (mostly in the Twin Cities, though, not down here) who are in their 40's or even 50's and still single, and it's not for lack of looks or character. Or money. Most of them just don't "get out" all that often. A few are simply not looking, which is cool, but many would love to meet someone to settle down with. Hard to do when you're working long hours and living in your own house ... no apartment neighbors to run into at random anymore. So for them it comes down to random encounters in the grocery store or whatever, or specific meetups either on or offline.

Yeah, but finding man is just like finding a woman ... it's easy to just find someone to hook up with, but finding someone actually worth more time? That can be a lot harder.

I've always been curious about "speed dating" where you get a few minutes with several people just to chat and get first impressions. I could see that working in some cases...
