There's someone for everyone is simply not true for the reasons I stated...which is due to those humans who are incapable of entering into a loving nurturing relationship.

Perhaps they can find someone as dysfunctional as they are and enter into an unloving, non-nurturing relationship. Ya never know!

No I think some people are meant to be single and maybe SHOULD stay single.

Absolutely not. Some people are just designed to be single and alone for their entire lives.

And keep in mind that women are becoming more and more particular about what man they will and will not end up with, with things like status, appearance (height especially) and financing becoming more and more a factor. More and more women are going after a smaller pool of men or preferring to be alone if they can't find one who measures up to their unrealistic expectations.

Just look at Japan: an entire generation of men are throwing their hands up. Japan panics about the rise of "herbivores"—young men who shun sex, don't spend money, and like taking walks.

I have a feeling that in the next few years you will see a movement to accept polygamy, lead mostly by women who would prefer to share an alpha male rather than be alone or settle with a man who isn't tall, rich, dashing and an amazingly smooth lover.

Is there someone for everyone? Sure, if you're the Dos Esquis man. But for regular people, not so much.

A date definitely. I took a girl I met online out to eat and she clearly was only interested in the free meal.


Now for a romantic partner, that is a whole other story. There's not someone for everyone.

Maybe someone found a prisoner with Emotional Intelligence, EQ, a person who maybe committed a crime but can manage their emotions effectively and positively enough to have a successful relationship.

Not every Joe Bloe is able empathize with others- they sometimes cant overcome challenges in a mature way, they get whiny and defensive, say "whatever" and will refuse to put themselves in anyone elses shoes.

They cant defuse conflict, they just keep right fighting without learning, unable to understand that sometimes they are wrong, and being wrong is OK, not weak. It means you are able to learn. Some people cannot connect with others.

I'm not even trying to advocate for prisoners, I don't know any. My point is--Being a prisoner does not take away ones EQ, if they started out with any, but being unwilling to ever learn, connect, postively control their own emotions-- will surely not enable the average Joe/Jane Blow to have a rewarding relationship.
