Seems so hopeless for me. Every where I go there’s people talking about and bragging about their relationships and all the good that comes from it.

I’d like to have a relationship and companionship.

I'm sorry you haven't found a relationship but Sly, do you really think everyone is bragging about their relationship? Are you sure you aren't like singling out the conversations you hear and don't hear, I find it hard to believe everywhere you go people are talking about their relationship.

You’re a really smart guy, Sly.

Chicks are missing out.

I met my first wife at your age. It's never too late.

Did you have a job and car?

I don’t and so no one will date me

Big dragon hugs. I feel the same way when I hear/see things about how great romantic relationships are, it kind of shoves in my face what I’m missing. I think I know how you feel. (although in addition to wondering whether a man would ever want me, I have the question of whether or not I’m even capable of feeling romantic love, it’s entirely possible that there is no “right” man (or woman) at all who will make me feel it and it’s just something I’ll never experience) I do sincerely hope that one day you will find a woman you like who will accept you as you are and you will end up having exactly the sort of relationship you want. I’m so sorry it’s taking so long, but please try not to give up hope. I don’t think there’s any age at which you truly have zero chance of finding a partner, although I completely understand why it might feel like there is. I even see ads on TV sometimes for a dating site that’s specifically for people over forty or fifty (don’t remember which).

i have a job and car, don't live with my parents and can't even get a text back.

if that's all it takes, don't you think the frustrated single male pandemic would have been solved by now?



depends on where you are and who you hang out with.

i work with a bunch of older people and literally every other conversation is "my girlfriend this" or "my husband and i blah blah blah".

Every time I’ve been rejected was due to my job status and nit having a car. If I had a real job and car I’d got dates and those dates could have led to relationships.

I’ve never met a guy in my area who has a car and real job who’s not had a relationship if they aren’t in one currently.

I only had a job when I was 32. I didn’t even have a drivers license yet. I failed my first road test a year later.

You lived in New York. The west coast isn’t as dense and connected as the east coast. Cars are considered mandatory here most teens have their own cars.
No car means I can’t pick her up, I can’t go to most places for dates, I can’t take her on trips, I can’t go to other cities to meet her, I can’t even run down to the store to get her something she needs, ie I’m useless and nit a real man.

We don’t have subways. We don’t have trains that connect cities that run hourly. We don’t have cheap taxis. West coast is very car centric.
