Day after day, week after week, I see all my friends falling into relationships with beautiful and lovely ladies who seem to have great personality/character traits (judging from the outside) and I'm the only one who is constantly on the sidelines and alone at every social get together of any kind. It is pretty depressing


How do you guys deal with this? Do you ever feel like you're the only single person left on this planet?

Sometimes, I feel that way, but of course I know it's not rationally true. Women make up..what, 55% of the population? I told my therapist my thoughts on this and he laughed and said that almost all of his young female clients are complaining about the same thing, and asking where are all the good guys? I laughed in turn, and jokingly asked him whether he could set me up with one of them, of course he couldn't due to patient confidentiality but it helped put things into perspective.

Pretty much all the somewhat attractive girls I know are in relationships

No I know a ton of single people. Even when I was around people who were in relationships or married, I still never felt I was the only single person. I guess I actually don't mind being single, because I would prefer to be single than deal with a lot of BS. A lot of my friends go through a lot of BS because they're just trying to rush to be with someone, and will just settle for the first woman who comes around. For me, I'm a lot different in that I would rather be single until I get what I want.

Eh single girls are out there. Even attractive ones.
It might take a while, but you can find them, just keep saying hi to every random girl you feel like talking to.

Are you courageous in terms of approaching strangers, etc.? You're correct that single women are out there, but it takes courage to make a move. I'm usually not courageous enough.

Ah, only when I am feeling particularly lonely and drowning in self-pity.

Yep, I definitely feel that way. Things just don't work out for me when it comes to LTR's.

I am courageous as hell. I always go after the most cute women. Been this way since I was a kid. If you aren't courageous enough, you're gonna need someone to push you.
