Poll: Why are you Single?

[heyheysg]

Fellow escapists, here's a self help survey thread.

Assuming you're a normal healthy human being living in a fairly developed country why are you not fulfilling your biological imperative of procreating and churning out babies?

Here are some options to why. Remember to add your solution to other people's problem are your own, feel free to provide your own ideas and opinions as well. Escapists in relationships are free to join.

Eg. Too Fat - Lose weight by working out, picking right clothes to wear.

I'm not a confident person, so suppose that is why i'm single(for now!)

 

[Hazy]

By choice.

I just don't care to date right now.
[sub]And there's NO other reason... >_>[/sub]

 

[Crayzor]

Low self esteem. I don't think I'm capable of maintaining a relationship, so I don't try.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I've never been asked.

And if did get in a relationship, my father would definitely stop it.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

All of the above...

Sure I can be likable, but I'm a little fat, act strangely, insult everyone, am too picky, don't want to be in a relationship, and can't take anything (relationships included) seriously.

I'm laughing at my own flaws right now for some reason.

Why am I not churning out babies? Kanaa, Kanaa...
Well, multiple reasons. For one, I am nonsexual/asexual.
I have also said I will never have children. As well as that I cannot have children.
Wouldn't want to anyway...
And I'm not exactly interested in having a relationship.

Low Self Asteem and General Lack Of Confidence.

Im slowly getting better at dealing with people though, I have always used solitude as protection when I was younger to distance myself from idiots and bullies. (I make it sound worse than it really is I have a job and I am a good working member of society just a little shy is all).

Plus most of the girls that I interact with on a daily basis are complete airheads so me being alone is my choice aswell, it is mostly the Low Self Asteem.

D'aww, you charmer.

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

Cuz I got no money!

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

there wasn't an all option

 

[Distorted Stu]

Im odd, and fairly picky. So its hard to find a lass i have something in common with. In turn it makes it difficult to fidn them after ive had a relationship or rejected someone.

 

[Indecizion]

Picky very picky i wont date non gamers due to not having enough time, i work like 40 hours a week, in my spare time i play warhammer vidya games and i watch alot of star trek and read a fair ammount of fantasy so outside of that i dont have enough time and im not willing to let go of my enjoyed spare time after working as many hours as hard as i do, so yeah need a gamer with whome to share what my life is so meh im gonna be single 4 eva

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I have no idea how to deal with girls, in terms of asking them out. Every way I've tried to far has resulted in "Erm...I think we'd be better as friends" or "OMG he's such a creep!". Then there is the fact that I'm not exactly athletic, I don't like sports, and I have a bit of excess baggage. I'm not fat by any means, but just a little extra there, y'know. I'm not very confident either, I convince myself to go up to a girl and talk to her, then just as I am within talking distance, I flare up, and smoothly turn the other way.

Aside from that, I don't know. I'm a girls dream. Everyone I meet says I smell nicer than anyone they know, I'm a really nice guy, extremely helpful, want to be close with girls, not just get in their pants straight away, and I even watch girly shows sometimes. Yes, I mean Glee. Go on, set me alight, I'm convinced I'm not straight anyway. I'm not ugly either, hell, I look very attractive if I can be arsed to.

It sucks liking people, but they never like you back. It hardly builds your confidence when the only girls who like you are the beautiful ones, but only tell you when they're in another relationship, or reaaaaaaaally fat girls that don't look attractive. Call me shallow? Yeah, so is everyone else on this damn planet. What can you do?

 

[Abbyrose07]

No time...I work 40 hours a week and go to school...when the weekends come I really don't want to find a date I just want to stay at home and relax. Sure there is internet dating but that really isn't for me.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

It used to be because of a general lack of confidence, but in the past few years I've realised I just don't care enough. I'm happy enough with my friends without feeing the urge to throw myself into a relationship.

 

[Cerity]

Yeah I'll admit I am just overweight. lets all point and laugh now.

 

[xDHxD148L0]

Mainly because I play too many games....
