Or older then that and NEVER married. Some have been single for years and years.

Let the guy be a guy and you'll do fine. Your first foot in the door is realizing men are men, Let them be one.

With that attitude, you're right.

I do not think you are out of the 'window of opportunity.' When you get into your 30s is when men start talking about your market value being worthless.

You are in your 20s so it's strike now or else you will be subject to the above. About that side piece buisness, that's a conscious choice. You say "never be a girlfriend or something important to a man" as if that is going to really mean something overall.

Do you happen to live in a small town?

I ask because I live in Chicago and here, to be 25 or 26 and still dating someone you met in high school is almost unheard of. I don't think I've ever met a 25 year old who has been in a 10-year relationship.

One of the reasons people leave small towns is because they want options. If you do live in a small town, I'd begin planning your escape...

Most of my peers are already in serious relationships. And for the life of me, I can never meet a guy who wants something serious with me. They always just want a bootycall. Its very discouraging right now at the moment. In a strange way, I am warming up to the idea of being a guy's sidepiece, just as long as he sees me regularly and makes me happy I'd be fine with such an arrangement

Don't waste your time dear. There's plenty of us single guys out there. Truth be told, they don't deserve you or the person they are with. I'd bounce 'em out on their ass.

there are no quality single guys out there. most of the good ones are in relationships and then the rest are just looking for something out the side. I'm really look at possibly sharing a man right now cause its very hard to find a guy who will just committ to me. it rarely happens, i'm always the bootycall

Haha.... I don't believe that in a 5/1 single men area. I have friends in their 30's who have never been on a date in their life. Not ugly homely guys either. Big strong good guys who would make a good catch.
