Hopefully you will find what you are searching for; whether it takes a day or a lifetime or more

Could have paid for lots of therapy with what The Big V cost.

Does this describe you? If it does, you can change most of those traits and really your life would improve pretty linearly with those improvements, whether you found a man or not.

If that doesn't describe you, then something doesn't add up in your assessment of your prospects.

Well I can relate to this a little bit

Okay in that sense my thoughts are somewhat similar to your's only difference here is that I have always been single till now and never been in LOVE or a long term committed relationship and I'm only 2 years older than you.I do have some standards for the girl but I know that there is a very slim chance of love in my life, even I don't hate women and I also will probably stay single forever.

Well if you've decided to stay alone forever,its your choice.Good luck! but remember life is long you've got a long way to go so it's all up to your inner strength and the confidence you have in your decisions also you must keep in mind that you've made this decision because you want it to be that way and for yourself and not because you want to prove something to others or for the sake of it as such.

I don't know seems strange/wierd to me,I don't think it can be generalized and put that way, I don't know where you've heard it because everyone is different in one way or another in that sense no two men can be exactly same .There can be some similarities though.Some men are alone and want to be so because that's what would make them happy, for some its not important at all to have relationships and they different sense of purpose.The list can go on.

Do you mean destined?

True indeed I strongly believe so there can many reasons for that for examples

1.Some are meant to be alone because they have such high principles,morals and values and live by them so others find it difficult or sometimes impossible to accept them in their lives(also applicable for love/relationships)

2.Some have high standards for the girl they want and hence are meant to be alone because of this thinking

3. Some don't have the required mindset to handle people/to be in relationships, after all they can be challenging

Just because you're destined doesn't mean that it will happen and be so like that.You can try to go against it and see for yourself what happens.

You're young and plenty of time to change. Me, yeah I will die alone. I'm 30 years older and have been where you will be and then some. I have no one, no wife, parents, siblings, family, and daughters don't care. this is ALONE.

Its too early to toss in the towel on the possibility of being happy with a partner at that age. Love is tricky, just when you think you're safely single God places the individual in your life whom you won't want to live without. Just keep your head up and it'll happen.

My dad had a friend - a guy about 10 years older than him - who was quite good looking & cultured. He was a successful dentist so he made major bank. He lived in one of the best neighborhoods in my town. He was a bachelor and my dad always talked about it (secretly I think he was intrigued by the lifestyle). I'm not sure why he never got married - he was certainly good looking enough and successful enough. It seemed to me he didn't try - he was always by himself when we would see him and he'd take these fancy & exotic vacations alone.

Then, around the time he was 63ish, he got married - it seemed to happen overnight - to a woman in her 50s. So never say never.

My own dad didn't get married until he was 37. Had me at 38.

You're only 23. There is lots of time - just ask some women out. Try online and real-life at the same time. At 23 you can go as low as 18 and as high as 27 or so.

Start working out and jogging (or some other sustained cardio like swimming if you prefer). NOW. You'd be amazed how losing a few pounds improves things - your clothes fit better, your posture improves, you feel better, more energetic and look it.

Laughable. God doesn't place a thing in anyone's life, if he even exists.

If you say so. Still waiting for God to do his thing....
