what's your excuse for being single?

[ QUOTE ]
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.

Yeah, pretty much covers my thoughts.

I am insanely impatient, to the point where it's impossible for me to put up with the BS that inevitably accompanies 90%+ of girls who are 7/10+. With girls that are 6/10-, I know I'd only date them as a temporary solution, and I'm not into using people. So, single it is.

Yes sir. Also, if you don't score with a girl upon the first try you view it as automatic defeat and communicate your profound disappointment to the girl. Try not to do that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, but I still consider it a failure since that chick you're dating isn't Tennenbaum.

i'm single because i haven't been putting myself in situations where i'd meet a girl i'd want to be in an relationship with. that's 100% my fault, and i'm going to change that when i go back to school in a week.

[tuq]

oddjob, no.

daryn, I've read through most of this thread and the responses to me seem to point to "not dating", not "not married".

yeah, i assumed this was a "why aren't you in a long term relationship?" thread, and not a "why don't you talk to girls?" thread.

nah i wasn't talking about being married either, but to me if you're dating girls you're just seeing different girls here and there, whatever. but if you're basically "in a relationship" exclusively with one girl, you're not "single".

see what i'm saying?
