.....not because you are picky nor anything like that. Do you feel you're not good looking enough, financial situation isn't stable enough, too fat, too skinny, etc....


If you feel as if you'll always be single, why do you feel this way?

Definitely not attractive enough lol. I've had a lot of reinforcement on that angle.

Not a whole lot I can do about it though, so I'll probably always be single.

I don't care either way. All I have seen is unhealthy relationships and other stuff that make me not want to bother.

I also feel that I am probably too psychotic for that kind of relationship anyway. After all, I do have friends, that's good enough.

I used to feel as if it was inevitable for me to wind up with a wife and children. But now, I feel as if I COULD always be single.

I don't think I'm too fat, or even too skinny. I'm not ugly by any means. I'm much better looking now than I was back then and I had the ladies coming.

I just don't have much in me left to deal with all the things that come with a relationship.

Because most men at best are immature game-players, at worst lower than pond scum.

I'm fit, cute, make my own money, and I'm told by my friends that I'm hilarious and fun to be around. Yet, here I am. Hell I was just dating someone recently and I thought it was going really well, then he smacked it down with the "I think we're moving too fast" excuse. Guyspeak for "Yeah, enjoyed the dates, moving on to the next girl now."

I was aggressively single for a while prior to that, and now I am remembering exactly why I refused to date anyone for so long. Because crap like this happens.

Ouch! Not all of us play games, thank you.

Is it maybe an age thing? Are you trying to date guys who are in their 20's and early 30's? If that's the case, then you're probably going to find a bunch of guys who still think like teenagers. But most of us do grow up at some point--either by choice or by force--and not all of us are just out to play you.

How exactly can someone be "aggressively single"? Like, do you attack them with a broken beer bottle if they approach you in a bar or something? (Just kidding. Put the bottle down....)

That's a bit of a stretch.

That kind of attitude is usually a person's worst enemy; however, I'm sure she's just frustrated.

I think I'll always be single because I think my requirements for anyone who I'd get serious with may not find me attractive. The main thing with me is that I do not want kids nor will I consider seriously dating anyone with children or wants children. That limits your dating pool a bit, then there is a question of attraction on both sides.

I am trying to brace myself for being single long-term if that is the direction my life is heading. So bachelorhood ain't so bad so far.
