Re: what\'s your excuse for being single?
Yeah, I'm in.
- I am a drifter whose social circles aren't very deep / stable.
- My work, hobbies, interests, etc. tend toward the solitary / competitive / high-concentration variety, and I have a below-average level of interest in what most people consider 'fun,' AKA distractions from thought.
- I'm fairly picky, when sober. Not so much physically, insofar as I don't have any set standards; I just look over a given package of girlgoods in gestalt sort of way and declare that it either works for me or it doesn't. It's more that I tend to write people's personalities off rather quickly, and jump to snap judgments about what people are like. "You have three chances to either laugh at what I say or *bonus* make me laugh, Random Girl. Two. One. Okay, never speak to me again."
- A man like me is an exotic taste, and the kinds of girls I'm most attracted to are pretty rare, too.
- I am a very hit-or-miss first impression. People often take a while to warm up to me.
- For me, most of the time, the idea of sexual desire is bound up inextricably with the idea of romance. I don't have a whole lot of interest in random ass, and the very notion of trying to pick up a girl that I don't even 'like' like is kind of unnatural for me. The idea of just drawing random chicks out of the deck until I stop on one I can stand also has little appeal for me. I recognize how this limits me but don't care.
- I am not physically attractive enough to be able to sleepwalk my way past all of the above.
