It seems that it takes a while to find someone worth marrying. And even then it doesn't work, half of the time.

And it's not just relationships, it's friends too. It's hard to find good friends.


And there never seems to be a shortage of cheaters or nutcases.

And with the economy the way it is, many people have to move around, so that also prevents people from being with each other.

Finding someone who is willing to work at keeping a relationship strong seems to be time intensive.

It's really hard to find good people agreed.

It is so hard for me to find loyal, quality friends who are good peeps. I have maybe three. And two are women!

For a relationship, I need that, plus she has to be attracted to me.

Yikes!

People who have their stuff together, are willing to socialize, and don't just use friends. Used to have a lot of good friends but I lost them to drugs because that's the culture in my suburb. People with a variety of hobbies.

For women that I seek a relationship with, it means that they are on the slimmer side with a cute face.

People who give a sh@t enough to respond when I tell them my power has been out for days...

You'd be surprised how many people don't care...

I study meteorology and I care. When wilma went through my town, I helped with clean up while school was out. Neighbors pitched in making food for those who had no generators...

But that was only like four families in the neighborhood. Everyone else packed their bags and left for Disney or something instead of helping with cleaning up the mess.

THIS is how you meet quality people, Kid! Keep doing the right thing, and a quality person will come your way.

btw, why are you so fixated on marriage at such an early age? You're only a sophomore or junior in college, with plans for grad school. Dating isn't working out for you anyway, so why not put that on a back burner, as you focus on your studies? With top grades, you could get a scholarship to grad school. Someone else posted here that grad school is where you meet your future spouse. I think there's something to that.

And yes, quality people who share some of our interests and have the qualities we're looking for in friends and partners are not a dime-a-dozen. When you do find any, you hang onto them for life, because they're rare. I, too, tend to have friends scattered around the US and the world. Close friends where I live, not so much. That's just the way it's worked out. You're not alone in that regard.

Thing is, is most people don't care about your needs. Even family sometimes. That's just how life works. People =****, it's a song, and it's pretty accurate.

Cynical but true. Most people just don't care.
