Today at office we had a discussion between a couple singles and a couple people who are in relationships.

The question was basically: Why are you single?
Most singles answered: Because the good men/women are already taken.
Following that logic, if you're not taken, doesn't that mean that you're not a good man/woman?

Why do you think so many people are single? And what are your reasons?

I just looked at your profile and was stunned that you are "single." Does this mean you are "not a good man?" I was also a little surprised that you are older than I thought as well. Are you really expecting to see a lot of posters admitting one is not a good man or woman? Maybe you should stick around here a little longer before asking such an absurd question.

If someone says everyone good is taken they gave up for one reason or another. Like being shy or just suck at dating. Not everyone is good at it, myself included.

I'm also divorced and have no desire to even take a chance of that ever happening again.

I had a girlfriend in past but because of some reason we broke up last year, 26 of December.. So I know I will have to change it very soon may be in next month I'll be in relationship with my friend's female friend, so don't worry about me.. And I know I am a good man...

When I find a girlfriend will I magically become a real good man?
So it's about luck not about is man or woman good or bad.

I'm single because I have too much issues...

A guy friend told me that a single person (never been married) older than 30 that's a "good catch" is very rare. I don't talk to him as much anymore because he is further damaging my self esteem

Good for you.

Always best to get rid of toxic people in your life. I suggest to stop contact completely.

Are you really that naive? Google Billy Ray Cyrus. The exact same picture that the OP uses comes up.

I have no idea why you would put a celebrity as a profile picture but hopefully its a joke. If not, how completely pathetic.

People who are single are so for various reasons. Just like people who stay in relationships stay for various reasons. Society puts so much pressure on everyone. The older you are, the more things you've been through and maybe that leaves some unresolved issues. Some have more of those issues than others. I stay single and may stay that way for the rest of my life. I don't feel like putting an effort into a relationship. I spent 20 years in relationships(2) and so I've "been there, done that" Bad attitude? maybe ....I don't care, I have enough to handle for myself, I don't need to drag anyone else in it nor do I need someone elses problems added onto mine...Sure, a good partner may lighten the load but I don't want to unload on someone else and don't want someone else to unload on me. I just don't want to share my toys anymore!

I wasn't talking about the picture!

I meant starting this thread!
How in the world you could misinterpret that???

I thought for sure a person starting a thread topic like this was married or in an exclusive relationship.
