Poll: Why are you Single?

[UsefulPlayer 1]

The "Too ugly/fat/thin" is more of a low self-esteem thing isn't it?

I mean plenty of ugly people have bf/gf. Perhaps high standards would be a more accurate description. As in you only want to date what's out of your league.

I am a Three hundred pound man who lays arond and plays JRPGs all day and eats doritos out of my belly button, and am so damn fat I cant leave my house, other wise my tiny little, un-used legs would snap underneth my nerdy-lardness!

Actually I just got out a relationship. (Hooray) And I would never touch a JRPG if my life depended on it, and i much prefer lays over doritos. Oh and I only actually weight 165 Thank you very much

Other cause my ex left me for my best friend.

Look yourself in the eye in the mirror and repeat this phrase over and over again. "No girl/guy will ever like me. I will spend the rest of my life alone."

When you can say those words, accept them as fact, and they have no emotional power over you, then you are ready to be in a relationship.

If those words are hard or hurt to say then you will give off an aura of desperation that anyone with a functioning central nervous system will see as soon as they notice you.

By choice.I spent most of my 20's in one relationship after another,some of which ended amicably,some of which ended badly.Been single for several years now(and i've had opportunities)and tbh I'm pretty happy with my situation

 

[Branches]

I spent the waning years of my teenage hood in a serious relationship that ended up getting shit-canned for equal amounts of stupidity.

Before that I was somewhat of an untouchable wing man, then again I was on drugs 3/4 of the time. I just don't feel the need for it.

Yeah, It sucks now and then not having someone to cuddle, talk crap to, and mess around with, but then again my life's moving at lightspeed and I have trouble even cleaning a single room, I don't expect to have enough time to do what is necessary.

 

[UnityRiot]

Too shy/nervous/etc. to make a move.

 

[MarsProbe]

I just am single right now, that's all. I didn't bother picking any of the poll options, as I don't this is something that can be answered so simply. Haven't met the right kind of person yet? That's probably it. Also, in my current social circles, I don't really meet many people I can identify with enough when it comes to interests/opinions etc in order to actually have a relationship with. Though that could be me being picky.

 

[JoJo]

I'm too busy with schoolwork currently to really bother with finding a girlfriend, but I hope to when I go to uni in a few months (and when I'm not being suffocated by parents!)

 

[Snotnarok]

asexual, need I say more?

Besides if one more of you make a joke about my sexuality you better be ready for...





...harsh criticism because it better be clever! It's gonna have to be better than a-sexual cells!

 

[Callisto49]

My last relationship ended on a sour note, so I've made a conscious decision to avoid a repeat.

In short, by choice.

 

[Yopaz]

I would like to say all of the above in some combo. Partially by choice as I am still on the point of my life where I haven't settled down yet so there's a lot of moving in my future. I also think of the whole idea of love as a romantic way to explain our instincts to reproduce.
I am too shy to go for it.
I'm not fat and I wouldn't say I'm that thin... anymore... I would say I'm too ugly, but that might just be my self esteem so I want go into too many details.

I'm weird in the sense that I am a geek, got very dark humour and got no faith in humanity.

I would guess low self esteem and cynicism are the biggest parts of it. I don't think anyone can ever be interested in me, and if they do show interest I believe that's mainly just a cruel joke.

It's hard to pick one, but I think low self esteem is my major point.

Low self-esteem seems to be the first issue, but furthermore, I'm a bit of a cynic who doesn't really fall in love. And you need to be in love, to be in a relationship - if you're me anyway. I've fallen in love once, the boy has told me three times since that he wants a relationship with me, two days later he'll take it back because "he's not ready", or whatever. Fuck it, been single for three years, I'm used to it by now.

This post however did make me fall a little in love. A cynic with low self esteem just like me.

 

[Nutella]

I love girl, girl loves me, girl has boyfriend. /sigh

Girl doesn't love you that way. She is just an attention whore, using you to fill her whoring quota.

This. He speaketh the truth...sorry bro but most girls are this way

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

almost everyone is blaming their weight or low self esteem. so, lose weight. the self esteem rises as you get skinnier, trust me. also, association with the escapist can only make you a cooler person, so if you're here, there's no reason for low self esteem-we're all awesome!!! ^_^

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

because apparently i'm the complete scientific opposite of what girls want from guys:
http://www.cracked.com/article_18440_6-things-men-do-to-get-laid-that-science-says-turn-women-off.html
It's funny because these kinds of guys that this article implies are in my mind the guys who never grow out of a high-school mentality, which is really quite low and pathetic.

btw, this website is the bomb!

I'm fucked... Also I know lots of people like this, but they all go to my very very nerdy uni.

 

[Tdc2182]

Lack of interest and not much choice. Hate to say it, but all the nice girls are virtually undateable, and all the hot girls are either a.) Stuck up bitches who think they are too good for everyone except older douchebags who should be in prison, or b.) The occasional nice girl who I unfortunately never go out of my way to become friends with.

Further explanation; I go to a very small school and am in my third year. So anybody that I would date I have already dated. Unfortunately all the girls in my school have decided that there is a select group of about ten guys, most of them douchebags, who they will ever go out with. Its pretty sad to see happen, and I refuse to act like a tool to get a date. So my dating life is on hold till I get the hell out of the shit hole we call Tanque Verde High.

 

[QuickDEMOL1SHER]

Where is the "Because of utter disgust for my fellow human" option?

 

[Souplex]

Because I broke things off with the last person, and haven't encountered anyone I like who is also single. When the window opens though, I will strike. Just have to wait for "Hector" (Hector is Souplex's universal title for other men who swoop if you take too long. There is only currently one guy named Hector filling that role but there are several "Hectors") to falter.

 

[Broady Brio]

Never been asked or asked anyone in my life. Don't see it ending well. Also feel that I would never been accepted.

Hah, bless ya! And I must say, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were describing me. Only difference is my cynicism and "bah! humbug" attitude will win over my low self-esteem any day, but then again, my cynicism is a result of years of low self-esteem. But yeah, you're not alone dude!
