I am starting to believe that some men on dating sites are single just because they are BORING. There are plenty decent looking men, in shape, OUTGOING.. Yet some are single for long periods of time. For example, I briefly dated a man last year. He is still on dating site, unchanged photo and profile..despite being attractive and having a decent job! I think some of these men lack a brain or sense of humor I swear.. The funny men are ALWAYS TAKEN

Hmmm jumping to conclusions and making judgements a little too early eh?

I would just think they haven't come across someone they like.

I sometimes think that I might be single because I am boring also. I don't have any group hobbies, nor do I want to. I am busy doing the things I have to do and not to many men want to come hang out with me while I am remodeling a house. My hobby is my home.

I gave up on dating sites, they're dumb. Most women I've met off them seem boring too, maybe it's just an awkward unnatural way to meet people if you don't have excellent social skills? One night stands at nightclubs are easier IMO, but I don't really drink anymore so that's out.

I always come off boring to people but I'm usually the center of attention and make all the plans when I'm out with close friends or family. Causally, slowly meeting women through the gym, stupid classes I take and running/hiking clubs has been the best way for me. Even going to the same restaurant daily and slowly chatting up the same waitress I had a crush on over a month delevoped into a relationship.

Every Tinder and OKC date has been a bust for me, I just don't move fast enough for that. Props to the dudes that can give women the feels that quickly. I'd have to date way down to even have a chance online, you're also competing against every dude in your zipcode.

In my opinion, it's not so much about hobbies. It's more just the way you make someone feel when you're with them. Funny men/women seem to be more likely to keep someone's interest because they're fresh and fun.

Are you sure you found him attractive? I've never found an attractive guy too boring for me.

Yes. I can't just stare at someone attractive all day and be content. humor is important to me.

I find the exact opposite. It's the people that are seizing life, doing art, travel, mountaineering, creating music, etc that are "single", as in not in monogamous relationships (that's more to be exact), they juggle multiple rather casual lovers at the same time. Most cool women I know have 2-4 things going on at a time, none really serious, or one serious and the rest not.
