alphamale Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I attribute my singleness to shyness and anti-social tendencies. oh...i thought it was "nice guy" syndrome
magichands Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Is that a pink elephant in the snow, magic, or are you just pleased to see your top 100? I need validation, too. Throw a snowball, or two, johan. I promise it will make you feel better.
amaysngrace Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Why don't you just give us your top 100, to be sure to be sure. Just kidding. I didn't mean each one of the hundred intrigues me...I meant all put together!
johan Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 oh...i thought it was "nice guy" syndrome No, no, no. Not anymore! I am now a Balanced Guy. Thank God for these threads.. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t93136 http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t80848 Otherwise, I would never have figured it out. I have tried to contact CaliGuy to get my certification, show I can show the girls I meet, but he doesn't respond to PMs anymore. What's up with that??
magichands Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I didn't mean each one of the hundred intrigues me...I meant all put together! I just knew that LS was a gestalt phenomenon. Not to be confused with herd mentality.

I'm guessing that it involves gargling with bleach and fabric conditioner.

Outcast Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 A + My best and truest self is the love for human hearts that revealed itself in experiences of spirituality/discovery. It is difficult enough to retain even in almost-ideal conditions (having eliminated most stresses/distractions). I love that the Dalai Lama has moments of frustration because I feel better about not being as good as I should as much as I want. But I still can be drawn into the minutiae of life and lose my perspective. I have, before, elected to be with people who had not understood or experienced that love at all - and almost lost it entirely, and with it, myself. I will never again occupy my life with a person who is not able to share that perspective because when it slips out of my grasp, I need someone who reminds me what is really important. And I can do the same for him. And those people are very, very rare. But I would rather stay alone all my days than lose sight of the light that I know exists.
Guest Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 So for all the unattached people out there, what's your reason for being single? A. Haven't met someone who interests me/standards are too high B. Too shy to ask someone out/not confident about myself/wait for others to make the first move C. Have been looking, but the other person was not interested/unavailable D. More important things to take care of than being involved in a relationship/too busy to date E. I love being single! Who needs a man/woman??!! F. Don't have many opportunities to meet other single people G. Just got dumped/still in love with ex H. Too scarred/embittered by last relationship/trust issues I. I'm a fugly mofo...hand me a paper bag (Add your own reasons if not included in my awesome nearly comprehensive list) Definately B for me, I'm confident about my looks but not nearly as confident about anything else lol. I just need to work on it as I'm sure I could get myself a girl If I was just more confident!
monkey00 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 A. Haven't met someone who interests me/standards are too high C. Have been looking, but the other person was not interested/unavailable D.

Don't have many opportunities to meet other single people A, C, D and F intermingles. But about being single, there are certain forms of freedom/independence you can achieve that you cant if you're in a relationship...who doesnt love freedom? . Both have their perks.
alphamale Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 ...who doesnt love freedom? . Its a prerequisite if you live in america
burning 4 revenge Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 In the game of NC, it's all about who gets in first, I'm afraid. But - look on the bright side - we're all still talking to you. stop talking to yourself johan
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 For me, it's D. More important things to take care of than being involved in a relationship/too busy to date I'm having to allocate myself between too much anyway, and what's left of me I want to keep to myself. H. Too scarred/embittered by last relationship/trust issues Don't even get me started on this one! Jeez. My whole life got turned upside down, and not just emotionally. I'm still trying to get everything back on track. I don't need no one messing up my life any more!! E. I love being single! Who needs a man/woman??!! That's the most important reason. I've realized that I was the happiest before I got into a relationship. I'm in no hurry to sacrifice the peace of mind I've (somewhat) achieved, and prefer to be involved in less masochistic activities. No matter what Khalil Gibran says.
