luvtoto Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 When this happens to me my friends say I'm high maintenance and the irony is most are golddiggers .. Go Figure Im so glad i dont date women .. those bitches!!! It's ok to be high maintenance, frogkisser! Pickiness is OK when you are picking someone to spend the rest of your life with. I'm sure your friends have good intentions. Heck one gave me a dating service certificate. Met some interesting people but none I would pursue a romantic relationship with. They were trying to help me out in a different way as in trying to make me move on. Did get upset but I've known them for so many years. Jerbear, I know they have good intentions, but, I always think about little Stewart on Mad TV. I feel like jumping and quietly proclaiming, "Lemme do it!". I like his attitude!
riobikini Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Women rarely asked me whether I'm single or not, -it's the men who ask. And the age you are, I think, figures in to whether anyone cares. After forty, no one seems to give a blip. And if they do, I answer them honestly, and tell them I've not always been single, -but, for now, it seems to be the right thing for me. -Rio
catgirl1927 Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I have also never had a happily married person tell me I was too picky. It's usually the people who married for money or because they thought it was time or because their parents were about to buy a summer home with their wedding fund if they didn't hurry up. Lots of them just wanted someone to drink wine and watch Oprah and bitch about how much marriage sucks with.
PlentyLV007 Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Ahhhh...I would get that all the time when I was dating a lot. I mean now I'm just dating one guy and I honestly still conceider myself single to be honest. During...I use to get the .."why are you single"? it's like hmmm "why not"? One time I answered "why aren't you single"? I feel lilke sometimes they just need a reason to talk about something. Or find something else interesting appereantly their lives aren't interesting enough. I know mine is.... My older peeps that I've known for over 10 years now, lived their single life through me. They never told me nor asked me why I was single.... Only haters ask that!!! =)
vampress1 Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 If the situation is right (ie, speaking to a married woman you don't mind offending), I suggest the following: "who says i'm single? I'm seeing someone... here he is now (pointing to her husband). He's a great guy but, (laughing) he has the smallest prick!" Wink and walk away. ;)

westernxer Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I get my feelings hurt when my friends try set me up on dates. They must think that I would go out with just about anybody. Uh....nope. THEN to top it off...if the guy they pick for me is not my type...they say things like "you are just too picky. No wonder you are single." ((())) I know what you mean. The other day my sister called me, excitedly, telling me our cousin wanted to set me up with somone who just moved to Los Angeles. The way my sister described it made me lose interest right off the bat... like she was doing me a favor by setting me up with this woman who's tired of being single. Yeah, sure. As soon as I swallow my pride and puke my guts out, I'm ready to go. If worse comes to worse (my sister speaking), we could just be friends and do stuff together, since she doesn't know anyone in this city. Right, and I'm joining the Salvation Army, after my summer trip to Sturgis with the Hell's Angels. Are Hell's Angels single? I doubt anyone gives a rat's ass.
Mary3 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 After being in one relationship after another and NOW being single I have to say I am loving it ! Freedom to do what I want, when I want. Experiencing different men in dating and each is unique. Well, all seem to want sex and not to say I don't love the physical because I do very much....and thats universal but tonite was something different as are all dates . The variety has pretty much made me unable to want the mundane and routine of the same person every day. This man would have to be spectacular and everything I am looking for me to settle down. Wow, am I not able to have what I used to want ? Or have I changed and feel happy just being free ?? I know thats possible. But so far just enjoying the fun of being out on dates and doing new things.
Kittiecat Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 To answer the original post, my answer is: I haven't found the man I want to divorce yet. Singledom really isn't that bad...no man, no kids, no problems!
Author Noos Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 I've had the "are you and XXX lesbians?" i.e. my best friend who is also single. Apparently, I'm supposed to divest myself of friends now lest people get ideas. Well, no, I'm not a lesbain- it's just no one wants to date me and if by chance a guy is intrested in me - he happens to be the kind who wears polyester polo shirts, pants with pleats at the front, loafers, wears man jewellery, has yucky random bits of facial hair rather than just going clean shaven or bearded, and is losing a lot of hair. Needless to say not my type. My mother said to me, "I gave your sister $5000 towards her wedding - would you like me to give you your money now?":mad: And when friends want to set you up and say "he's a really nice guy" - that is a bad sign. It really means that, if they were single, there is no way they'd date him or even talk to him but he's good enough for you....
lindya Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 There's a correct form of response to the question "why's a catch like you not married"...or the somewhat less flattering "getting a bit long in the tooth to still be single, aren't you?" This form is the only answer that can possibly satisfy your interrogator. Knock down six measures of gin in quick succession, rip off all your clothes, dance on the table in a carefree manner....then suddenly, and without warning, burst into tears and implore "Does anybody want to sleep with me? Anybody?? Nobody? Am I not pretty? Am I ugly? Does this table make me look fat. Just £500/$1,000 for a night of passion. I'm good for the cash...Pleeeeassse..."
mental_traveller Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 "Because I don't want to end up like you" usually shuts them up.
luvtoto Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Are Hell's Angels single? I doubt anyone gives a rat's ass. Can a women join Hell's Angels Club? The closest you could get would be to date an X-GF of a Hell's Angel. Brutal beating comes to mind. Don't do it Westy!!
westernxer Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 "Because I don't want to end up like you" usually shuts them up. I've actually come close to using this response... good thing people can't read minds.
luvtoto Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 "Because I don't want to end up like you" usually shuts them up. Hmmm...simple yet affective.
ms_jnj Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 In 10 years, the 22 year old may have the same issue... Justifying ones existence to being married at whatever age is just not worth it. I just turned 23 and people ask ME the "why are you single" question in different versions. I have been single about 8 months after getting out of a five year realationship....does not seem unreasonable to me....
