i do indeed, well playedLisolet said:I did check it out and you're right - it's a great song, thanks. But that further proves my point - you don't completely suck at life cuz you know good music and share it. See how I did that?RobThePrezodent said:
Probably a number of those reasons but I'm going to say By Choice, I really just don't feel the need to not be single. I'm comfort in my rut at the moment.
probably a mix of several factors there. It appears to be hard to find a Woman who can actually sustain a conversation for any significant length of time, which makes it hard for me to decide whether or not I am interested in her. Also I will admit to being overweight, and alternate between boring and weird. also a general sense of disgust for the majority of people I meet wont be helping either.
bad decisions on my part, at one point, apparently (although i didn't know about one of them), i had three girls interested in me. i chose the crazy, finicky one who went from interested to not as soon as i chose her (like from open flirting to ice queen).
since then i just can't be bothered, that was my first foray and it ended horribly. I'm better off alone for the time being, at least until uni

well i just recently came out of a relationship... however there is a guy who im talking with who wants to go out... but to be honest he is rly shit chat and i need someone i can talk to so yeah... probs gonna be single for a bit by choice..
so yeah... probs gonna be single for a bit by choice..
By and large it is by choice these days. I learned my lesson over the years that I seem pathologically prone to picking the most toxic women available who then fuck with my head, strip me of any self esteem I may have had and in one fabulous occasion, actually took cash out of my wallet when I wasn't looking.
I doubt now that I am still capable of sustaining the right kind of emotional responsiveness to be in a relationship with someone.
These days I reckon that my best choice is probably to sustain friendship and if there are "benefits" in the friendship then great.

Sounds like you're looking for all the wrong women.VicunaBlue said:
In short, its a mental disorder at worst, and a really, really bad excuse at best. While the goal behind sentience can be whatever you want, the goal of life is simply to create life. Far as I've seen, many times its the result of some trauma, and with some time or counseling (or both) it can be cleared up. Trouble is, most asexual folks don't see it as a problem, which I suppose it isn't in the grand scheme of things, but they're missing out on one of two things that humans can classify as immortality - carrying some of your traits on to the next generation, and being recorded in history.GHMonkey said:
Er, i'm not. When i was younger i didn't really get them because i was weedy and wasn't very good at music and played the non-cool musical instrument spectrum.
I now get them by being accessable and myself. I suppose i'm confident and that works. Generally what i see in others failing to get a partner is an inability to sync with others. Be responsive and you should do well.

I'm single because it's awesome and it's working quite well for me right now. The other night I went skinny-dipping at a party with four girls and didn't have to worry about "getting into trouble" with anyone later. Being single has its often-overlooked benefits. Eventually I'll get hooked up again but it's not on the top of my to-do list unless someone completely amazing appears. They have to be worth it.
Having said that, I do detect some angst in this thread so anyone male or female wanting serious assistance with issues revolving around relationships or the lack thereof should post in the following thread and I will do the best I can: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161-Relationship-problem-thread?page=1

I see from your profile that you're only 15...as admirable as it is that you're aware of your flaws and that you seem very mature, at that age...a "significant other" should be THE last thing on your mind! Haha.StarStruckStrumpets said:
But, ok, in what ways to you mean you express yourself in a not "normal" way?
Because when you meet a girl who appreciates your not "normal" expressions, then you'll know she's for keeps
I haven't really had relationships before now, but I've just recently met a really great guy who...you know, gets me. And that's what you have to wait for, someone who gets the person you are, and still wants to be with you. Obviously, the girls you're chasing are possibly too immature for you, or don't know a good thing when they see it so, I'm afraid to say, you just have to be patient. You might meet your perfect girl next year, it could be in 5 years, or even longer, but when that girl comes along...you'll be complete.
And this "friend zone" thing is a heap of crap. How many women say relationships should be based on friendship first? All of them. Using the friend zone in the context of, "Oh, I think we'd be better as friends" is a woman's cowardly way of hinting that she's not interested. I hate to say it, but women are manipulative, in every sense of the word.
Don't listen to that "friend zone" crap, your partner is MEANT to be your best friend, your confidante...if you didn't have that, then you'd be having a relationship that's completely empty.
I totally agree with you and your view on the friendship thing, but hey, I guess it is just an excuse. When I say "significant other", I don't mean it that seriously, I just get sick of using the word 'girlfriend'. Thank you, your words have been very helpful. >.<Rachel317 said:I see from your profile that you're only 15...as admirable as it is that you're aware of your flaws and that you seem very mature, at that age...a "significant other" should be THE last thing on your mind!

Sure, that's it, dude. Whatever you say, I totally believe you.Sakurazaki1023 said:
Anyway, for me it's because so far datings sucked and I choose to stay out of it.
Also, several people seem to have a problem with "I'm breaking up with you, so I'm setting you on fire."
No offence to the otaku's of the world...Cheveyo said:
the only hot otaku's you see are at anime conventions. They also 3/4 of the time have girlfriends and are usually older than me
Why should I go out with a woman who will inevitably wanna get knocked up by someone triple my muscle mass during her ovulation period, get tricked into banging her, watch her have a child that wouldn't be mine, and forced to raise it or pay out the ass if I leave? Life's short enough; why spend it with a whore-in-waiting? Men are a hell of a lot more obvious, biologically, as we feel the need to spread our genes over humanity like butter on toast.
I have a slew of reasons why I'm single, besides from reasons 1, 2, and 6. (May as well be blunt at this moment) I have the occasional bout of misanthropy, I don't speak unless spoken to, and my honesty is blunt and unforgiving. Finally, I'd rather suffer alone than for someone to wreck their personality caring about me.
