whoa whoa, tuq. being single doesn't mean you can't date chicks. unless i am confused about the terminology these days?

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

right hahaha exactly. i mean it could be a "why don't you talk to girls" thread for some.. and that's fine. not me though.

They are flaky, insane, moody, scandalous, and weird.

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]

FFK, I see what you are saying, but as a general observation girls/women who are both single and 7/10+ (for some definition of 7/10 - the OOT scale still confuses me...) PROBABLY have something going on either issue or personality wise. FWIW, I think that you would probably make a similar assumption about the top x% of men that happen to be single - simple supply and demand would indicate that there is probably a reason.

Yeah I pretty much agree with that.

I have been single for MOST of my life (am not at the moment) but it was always because I spent a lot of my free time trashed and acting retarded with friends. This is a good way to meet one night stands and insane women, but not a good way to meet girls I enjoy spending time with (while sober).

Whoa, that sounds too much like me. How'd you meet your current girl?

[/ QUOTE ]
Ha - actually met her out at a bar. She had been dragged out by a friend from out of town.

IMO, this statement is true, and pretty disconcerting.

That and when girls compliment your fine choice in PBR beers at the bar you have no follow through :P

So you didn't change your ways and totally just lucked out. And I thought maybe I could learn something. Nuts.

I'm single because I travel a lot and don't have a permanent home right now, and I haven't met anyone I wanted to see long-term, anyway.

Now, there are a lot of reasons why the latter is, but that's a different thread.

[tuq]

daryn,

I wanted to finish reading the thread before responding.

The subject line is ambiguous, and judging by the responses I think a lot of people are interpreting it as I did, in which "single" means "not dating anyone but their hand" and then citing some personal issues/deformities as the reason(s) why.

So if I was to interpret it your way, then the answer is that I'm single because being married is f'in retarded IMO.
