Poll: Why are you Single?

[Chester41585]

Part "picky", but mostly "by choice".
I've had some really bad girlfriends recently (as the timeline of girlfriends goes). I have a really hard time trusting women, much less being comfortable with them to like being around them for extended periods of time. It's either their voice, or how they speak, or how they thin, or even how they drive or spend money that will switch me off to a certain woman. I'm a mechanically-minded man who uses logical steps to solve problems and come to conflict resolutions. I like being around the same types of people. It's hard to find a woman with these qualities.

because apparently i'm the complete scientific opposite of what girls want from guys:

It's funny because these kinds of guys that this article implies are in my mind the guys who never grow out of a high-school mentality, which is really quite low and pathetic.

btw, this website is the bomb!

A form of pickiness. I've been asked out once or twice, but by people I had no romantic interest in whatsoever, and so turned them down; I don't see the point of being in a relationship/going out/etc if the feelings aren't mutual/reciprocated.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Well a lot of reasons so *pulls out list*

1. picky- I just am
2. low self-esteem -actually nonexistent
3. the area I live in
4. I have no social life at the moment
5. confusion >_<

By choice-ish.

I don't really have an interest in a deeper relationship with anyone. I've always had a close knit group of friends, and I've always been content with it. It gives me the ability to have social opportunities, yet also lets me still enjoy my own quiet time when I need it, without having to worry about a significant other being upset that I don't want to spend time with them at the moment. Friends always seem to have had that problem when I watch their relationships, and they voice it as well, that their other always wants to be with them. And that doesn't sit right with me.

I also will submit that I'm socially awkward. I can convey better in text than what I can in face to face. I always end up standing too close to someone, or stumbling over my words as I try to tell a joke, or something along those lines. Try as I might, when meeting new people, most turn away from wanting to converse more because "He's too shy." (Which is true.) The few that see past it and stick with me, I'm perfectly happy to have on my side. And I'll even let them know it. Eventually social situations will click for me more, I'm sure, but at the moment they only serve to enforce my choice of staying single.

In the end, though, it's by choice. There's nothing stopping me from stepping up and giving it my best shot. People are going to have their opinions about everyone, and there's nothing I can do to stop that, so why not try? But at the same time I'm as happy as I've ever been, and I'm flying solo. And that's great enough for me.

Ex be a whore(she cheated on me) now I have no money haha

 

[drzoidbergmd]

I love girl, girl loves me, girl has boyfriend. /sigh

 

[Cinnonym]

I suppose I can say "by choice", in that when asked the answer is always "no". I'm not particularly outgoing, so it's difficult to have a relationship with a boy (or girl even) who is more often than not shy and attention-starved.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

I'm the only one who knows I'm gay.

Sadface.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

The "Too ugly/fat/thin" is more of a low self-esteem thing isn't it?

I mean plenty of ugly people have bf/gf. Perhaps high standards would be a more accurate description. As in you only want to date what's out of your league.

 

[SenorFuzzeh]

I am a Three hundred pound man who lays arond and plays JRPGs all day and eats doritos out of my belly button, and am so damn fat I cant leave my house, other wise my tiny little, un-used legs would snap underneth my nerdy-lardness!

Actually I just got out a relationship. (Hooray) And I would never touch a JRPG if my life depended on it, and i much prefer lays over doritos. Oh and I only actually weight 165 Thank you very much

 

[jibjab963]

Other cause my ex left me for my best friend.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

Look yourself in the eye in the mirror and repeat this phrase over and over again. "No girl/guy will ever like me. I will spend the rest of my life alone."

When you can say those words, accept them as fact, and they have no emotional power over you, then you are ready to be in a relationship.

If those words are hard or hurt to say then you will give off an aura of desperation that anyone with a functioning central nervous system will see as soon as they notice you.

By choice.I spent most of my 20's in one relationship after another,some of which ended amicably,some of which ended badly.Been single for several years now(and i've had opportunities)and tbh I'm pretty happy with my situation

 

[Branches]

I spent the waning years of my teenage hood in a serious relationship that ended up getting shit-canned for equal amounts of stupidity.

Before that I was somewhat of an untouchable wing man, then again I was on drugs 3/4 of the time. I just don't feel the need for it.

Yeah, It sucks now and then not having someone to cuddle, talk crap to, and mess around with, but then again my life's moving at lightspeed and I have trouble even cleaning a single room, I don't expect to have enough time to do what is necessary.

 

[UnityRiot]

Too shy/nervous/etc. to make a move.

 

[MarsProbe]

I just am single right now, that's all. I didn't bother picking any of the poll options, as I don't this is something that can be answered so simply. Haven't met the right kind of person yet? That's probably it. Also, in my current social circles, I don't really meet many people I can identify with enough when it comes to interests/opinions etc in order to actually have a relationship with. Though that could be me being picky.

 

[JoJo]

I'm too busy with schoolwork currently to really bother with finding a girlfriend, but I hope to when I go to uni in a few months (and when I'm not being suffocated by parents!)
