I suppose it would be by choice, since I'm waiting for a girl to get back from Florida in August. No guarantee we'll date when she's back, but hell, I told her I'd wait.

Heh, I kept seeing this thread whenever I came to the Escapist, but I didn't know what I should say should I post. All I can say now is "not single anymore."

Well, I find myself physically unappealing
I have an interest in video games and anime which I doubt a lot of girls would care
I prefer isolation
I'm not outgoing
And I try too hard

I only got dumped on Valentine's day, but I had it coming for losing my respect for her. Now I'm meeting new interesting girls every day, I don't feel the need to work on that.. if one of them really is special, I'll get her eventually. I'm currently working on myself now, and to feel happy and complete as a single (as I do now) is an important experience for me. I don't want to rush into a new relationship just to not be alone.

why are you not fulfilling your biological imperative of procreating and churning out babies?
In response to this statement, because I think that our biological imperative in current society is not to. The "developed" countries are becoming more and more over crowded and we are burning through the Earth's resources at an ever increasing rate. The last thing we need is a higher population.

The other reasons that I am not in a relationship is because I am eccentric and very picky.

i guess just because all in all i suck at life
That statement makes me sad and I've decided not to believe you. How can you suck at life when you're the Prezodent?
hehe it's from a song. the line is "i want to rob the prez-o-dent" not "w00t im the prezodent." you should check it out, it's very good
I did check it out and you're right - it's a great song, thanks. But that further proves my point - you don't completely suck at life cuz you know good music and share it. See how I did that? :)

Probably a number of those reasons but I'm going to say By Choice, I really just don't feel the need to not be single. I'm comfort in my rut at the moment.

probably a mix of several factors there. It appears to be hard to find a Woman who can actually sustain a conversation for any significant length of time, which makes it hard for me to decide whether or not I am interested in her. Also I will admit to being overweight, and alternate between boring and weird. also a general sense of disgust for the majority of people I meet wont be helping either.

An unhealthy knack for attracting AND being attracted to girls who are A) About to start dating someone else B) Moving to Africa or C) Bipolar. So...yeah.
Wow that's really unlucky.

The first one is common though, but usually it's a non issue

bad decisions on my part, at one point, apparently (although i didn't know about one of them), i had three girls interested in me. i chose the crazy, finicky one who went from interested to not as soon as i chose her (like from open flirting to ice queen).

since then i just can't be bothered, that was my first foray and it ended horribly. I'm better off alone for the time being, at least until uni

By and large it is by choice these days. I learned my lesson over the years that I seem pathologically prone to picking the most toxic women available who then fuck with my head, strip me of any self esteem I may have had and in one fabulous occasion, actually took cash out of my wallet when I wasn't looking.

I doubt now that I am still capable of sustaining the right kind of emotional responsiveness to be in a relationship with someone.

These days I reckon that my best choice is probably to sustain friendship and if there are "benefits" in the friendship then great.

Because women are bitches who will choose some girly-looking skater kid over someone with any depth 100% of the time.
Sounds like you're looking for all the wrong women.

I am asexual.
ok man, im seeing this term used alot in the couple other similar threads. i think i need a very clear definition of what exactly this term mean.
Asexuality is both having no interest in sex and not being sexually attracted to people.
ok, sure, lets roll with that.
In short, its a mental disorder at worst, and a really, really bad excuse at best. While the goal behind sentience can be whatever you want, the goal of life is simply to create life. Far as I've seen, many times its the result of some trauma, and with some time or counseling (or both) it can be cleared up. Trouble is, most asexual folks don't see it as a problem, which I suppose it isn't in the grand scheme of things, but they're missing out on one of two things that humans can classify as immortality - carrying some of your traits on to the next generation, and being recorded in history.
