Correct. And it's impossible to reason with know-it-alls anyway.

It's sad to think that because he writes like a human thesaurus,he might influence someone away from getting real help.

What kind of woman do you want to meet? And where does a woman like that hang out? And are you hanging out where she does?

The other really useful thing is counseling. Counseling is not for broken people. It is for healthy people who want to stay healthy. And it works wonders for your dating life.
I completely agree. Well, I agree with it being normal to be single for a long time and the counseling part. I don't know if a woman can tell you've been single a long time. The OP is in the PRIME of his life. If you have good social skills, you shouldn't have a problem. My situation is that I've been divorced for 5 years. Its harder now because I'm in my mid-forties and still want a family. I've also changed a lot of who I am and have a great job. The issues for me are 1. I live in a bad city now, and 2. I'm too reserved, quiet, shy, introverted, or whatever word you want to use to just walk up to a woman and start talking. So it will practically take a miracle for me. But therapy post divorce helped, as well as focusing on weaknesses I could somewhat change. In a different city, I'd probably do a lot better in spite of myself. Anyway, I have no doubt all you need to do is focus on being a better you and try to get out and go to more target rich environments as NilaJones suggests. I had my best dating life in my late 20's - early 30's.

What do women beteween 24 and 35 want? Seems like they fish for the "bottom of the barrel" type(im not saying im perfect) but they want a decent guy that has a future. Im confused.

answer: because women at this age are in the transition stage. They want to be stable and yet they want enjoy their life. Why decent man because we want security and if women are going to enter into a serious relationship women want to be sure of the guy. If marriage come soon it is much more better if the man has a future.

For the people that have been single for a long time, how do you stop caring about being single and accept the fact that you might be alone the rest of your life?

answer: not actually stop caring about being a single, your age s not too old to think of being a single your whole life there a lot of things tat might happen don't be in a hurry. If it is really your time the right woman will come your way.

How do you stay positive if people around you are constantly sucking face(kissing, PDA,etc.) with the other gender?
answer: come to think that I am able to witness, well but sometime it makes one so jealous or envy, but I believe I have my time for that not for that moment. And when that time would come I am with the right man.
