From my understanding being single means not romantically involved with anyone, regardless if someone happens to like or be interested in you. That doesn't matter if you don't return the same feelings.
Truly single means not in an exclusive relationship.

Single, as defined when you file your taxes or are asked marital status in a Census survey, is too broad. In that sense, single means unmarried. Those who are single and not in a relationship live way differently than those who are single and have been in an LTR for 1+, 2+ years, etc.

My definition of truly single is completely unattached. If a woman has an FWB, she is NOT single, imo. This knocks out the vast majority of females from the dating pool lol.

Well, I'm in some FWB/FB relationships with women (note I don't see them that often), and I still consider myself single & available.

If a woman were in a FWB/FB relationship with a guy - but if she were still open to meeting other guys - I would consider her single as well.

As far as I'm concerned, unless you're in an exclusive, monogamous relationship in which you're not open to meeting other people - you're single.

I completely disagree with this.

If a person regularly sleeps with another, they are NOT truly single. If I begin dating a woman and find out that she is sleeping with another man, I will no longer look at her as a potential dating option.

But, then, I'm not willing to take another man's scraps.

The hot male, and it's simply due to ratio.

I’ll say the hot male. A hot woman will have men approach her, want to take her out, dine and wine her, romance her, and so on. A hot male will still have to do those things for a woman and show he is more than just a pretty face, that is, someone who has a good job, drives a decent car, doesn’t live with the parents, is not a loser, etc. If he has his life on the right track he will have an easier time picking up girls than your average-looking Joe.

I guess we can agree to disagree here. If you're in a FWB/FB relationship with a woman, definitely don't expect her to be monogamous. If you're in an LTR, maybe.

The hot girl, and most likely by choice. Don't want to brag lol but I'm considered attractive, even "hot" by many but I've been single for a year and can't find the right guy, even though I'm so ready for a relationship

I would say the female. The male is likely to have a good job and money and thus women who desire him.

Same lol. Plus us (hot) females tend to be a little pickier.
