Whenever I get all emo/whiny about being single, it helps to remind myself that I'm essentially single by choice - if I really wanted to, I could easily be in a relationship with someone I'm not attracted to.

I think this is true for most of the guys here as well...

I think most guys want that wealthy bikini model whose dad owns a liquor store, but most of us settle for any woman that will have sex once in a while, cook a meal or two, and occasionally do some housework.

That's my problem - I won't "settle" - I'd rather be alone.

Same here. I have idealized my ideal man to the point he is physically impossible. Wish I could settle, but I am sooo ridiculously picky about what I want, I am going to dye an old cat lady. And I don't even like cats. :D

I am the same, do not wish to settle for someone I have no attraction to. I sometimes used to think of myself as shallow because of it, but I realised that nobody should have to date someone they have no attraction to.

Ooooh, what color? [/Moog]

Actually, I hate the "you're going to die alone" argument - what's wrong with that? It's better than faking attraction to someone.

I always figured that if I become so old that there's no hope left, I'll just go be a hermit out in the desert...

Here we go with this ego and pride crap. WTF is so bad about admitting that you're single because no girl/women wants to go out with you and never will? It's never by choice. I'm 25 and I've come to terms with it. (kinda)

I've been rejected by cute girls, ugly girls, skinny girls, fat girls, white girls, black girls, Asian, etc. No matter what color, shape, or size, no women would ever want me.

Hehe. :oops: Orange, so that they look like Oompa Loompas. (They kind of do already.)

I like this whole being a hermit in the desert thing, I might have to do that too. Although desert or beach, I'm not sure yet.

Do you actually want help? Or are you unnecessarily venting here?

The Haven is that way :arrow: ........

(I don't mean to be mean, but there's only so much negativity one can post and that's too much for me to keep reading from the same person. Please try and be positive, for your own sake)

+1

my best friend made me a list recently of guys that I've allegedly "rejected" - thing was I never even considered any of them boyfriend material as I felt no chemistry towards any of them, and being the way I am I never even noticed their advances :roll: so I guess all I'd have to do to not be single is to stop saying "no" to the single guys my friends introduce me to.

yeah, I'd rather just stay single ;P

Certainly. Fact is, I have already had a few offers but I turned them down. I'm simply not interested in those that propositioned me.

Then again, I'm starting to wonder what the point of a relationship is so maybe I should just shut my mouth. :oops:

I post here because I want to, TYVM

What the f**k do I have to be POSITIVE about? My life have been s**t for the better part of the past 14 years. I don't have anything or anyone, aside from these stupid video games. I want you tell me what woman with any kind of standards would want a 25 year old ugly, slow, poor, and uneducated hermit that doesn't know how to do s**t right. I'll be waiting.

Heh, all my female friends are attractive in some way, they have men trying to get them all the time. So I can sort of empathize. Sort of.

:lol: It's up to a man to create chemistry IMO. I don't believe in "The One".

I was gonna make a smart comment, but I don't need to now.

I can see I'm no longer needed.

I don't believe in The-One-ness either Zion. I generally find all men adorable on some level, and I tend to see their positives and appreciate the unique charm of each guy I come across. kinda like with kittens :P that's not chemistry though.
