A respectful body... now, why don't you explain that a little further to me.

 

[Vadatajs]

I'm looking for that impossibly perfect girl.

I've actually found her, and I have a good chance at getting her, but I now live in Michigan and she lives 600 miles away in New York (my home town). I'd love to just be able to go home and get her, but I can't.


EDIT: I'm over it though and looking for someone out here. It's just slim-pickin's during the summer semesters here.

I don't really mean it, don't worry. Most of the time, give or take a mood swing or two, I'm practical about my looks and mind and can give a fair evaluation of both. However, what I say about attracting guys is true - my track record shows a total of one guy interested in me. However, that one guy was an absolute gem and I don't worry about being currently single.

 

[Random Variable]

but is that because you can't or because you're looking for something specific?

both

Thats good to hear. Just remember, guys are dumb in general.

Thats right, I said it.

Find girls I like, and it gets to the point where we're super close, but then it never works out to where we're going out or anything.

Have girls that like me, confess it and stuff, but I just don't feel the same way.

<== shrugs

 

[Willoughbyva]

I never datyed much and figure that I don't fit into women's high standards. I just like living the simple life and doing what I like doing. Most women I meet are wanting things that I can not offer.

Money.

A step up the social ladder.

Someone to fill their imaginations idea of a man.

You get the idea.

A girl that's not obese. One that respects her body to keep it fit. That's all.

im single

 

[dirtboy]

Bit offtopic, but this is OT, so...

Here's why I am happy to be single:

After I got divorced I listed out all the things I wanted in a wife. Now I know exactly what I am looking for in a person. Thus far all the women I have been introduced to or dated have been nothing close to what I want. To be with any one of those women would force me to compromise many of the things I want. Therefore, I would rather be alone than be with someone who wasn't right for me, because I was already married to someone who wasn't right for me and believe me, that sucks!

 

[StageLeft]

Well let's say that you're 17, ugly as sin, about 80 pounds over weight, socially inept, and have the stereotypical geek arrogance to you. Let us also say that you (like most guys) continually see hot chicks on tv and at school/work, in the mall etc. Obviously you want such a chick. Being the clueless idiot that you (and lots of guys - in fact most your age) are you somehow have yourself convinced that you're on the path to one day getting such a lady.

Fast forward to when you are 23. You are still ugly as sin, now 110 pounds over weight, almost as socially inept, and just as arrogant as before. You're finally cluing in that there is no reason any of these hot chicks would be interested in you and so, as much as you hate to do it, you've decided to start lowering your standards. As time goes on and you remain single your standards will lower yet lower and lower until finally you get lucky at which point you've now officially set them and chances are it's with an equally unattractive lady.

Nobody wants to go through the standard-lowering practice and so many people resist it for as long as they can until finally they just don't care anymore; they want to get some play!

 

[joohang]

Fortunately, I am not ugly as sin, Skoorb.

And I am slightly underweight, I think.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I just can't stand women, or more appropriately labeled, girls. I don't want to put up with any of it. It's like you drop them off and they expect you to call as soon as you get home. They worry about the littlest sh!t. How their hair looks, what you think of the new shirt, etc. Why am I expected to say something about every little thing? I haven't bothered trying to meet anyone in a while, over 3 years now. Don't plan on it anytime soon. Just more $$$ for toys

 

[rgwalt]

Wow Skoorb, what an uplifting post. I think I'll go hang myself from the ceiling fan.

[Descartes]

I have transient interations with the female kind, and I like to keep it that way. I had a girlfriend a while back of 2 years that I loved very much, but it didn't work out. My current life doesn't necessitate, nor facilitate, a relationship that transcends the boundaries of friendship. On the other hand, I know that if the right woman presented herself, I would change my mind Unfortunately, I seem to have an implicit affinity for women that are entirely wrong for me...

 

[Mucman]

I am single and sort if indifferent (sp?) about it... Having a GF would be great, but I barely have time for that right now... Or it could be the fact that girls are never interested in me, and I have no idea why .

Hahaha, I must be overtired for some reason I'm sitting here LMAO, I guess I better get to bed, morning comes early

 

[Aceman]

Is this because you can't find *any* girl to couple up with you or because you can't find someone to your standards, or you're holding out for that impossibly perfect girl?

I think that sums it up for me.















Oh wait!!!! I'm married already!:Q

LMAO...

Well.. I was single, and madly in love with this other girl.. Then I met the girl that I thought didn't exist.. I know, I know... But it's true.. lol..

It's kinda like cashman says, I'm so happy with my girlfriend.. I can't believe it.. lol.. she's so cool.. Exactly the opposite of what BrunoPuntzJones states.

We're so compatible.. It's almost scary. :Q

Then one day u will be scared out of the relationship like I was ....
everything else u say was the same for me .... till it all crashed down !

 

[keystroker]

Who the hell cares? I'm single right now. I'm the same person as I was with a GF, except I have more time and money for myself to waste.

 

[p0ntif]

In the search for Ms. Right, there's nothing wrong with Ms. good-enough-for-now I mean that's the point of dating right? to see if people who meet your standards are worth living with, and eventually settling down with? I think I may have the problem of always thinking 'the grass is always greener'. It's kind of annoying, my typical situation involves 'boy meets girl . . . boy and girl go out . . .boy and girl have a great relationship . . .till boy thinks he wants everything girl has plus more . . . boy breaks up with girl in quest and the cycle starts all over again.' I've found myself several times thinking: 'Wow, i could live out the rest of my life with this girl and be pleasantly happy . . . but maybe there's more?' And so it continues. My only hope is that someday I will never tire of the person i'm with . . .and i'll realize that she's the one In the meantime . . . there's always Ms. good-enough-for-now . . . I can't stand being single, and I have relatively high standards too It's amazing what you'll put up with if the girl is gorgeous.


P.S. I never tire of certain friends and family, so I DO beleive that it is possible to meet someone that I won't get bored with.

variety is the spice of life

 

[bizmark]

*sigh* where to start... I think I'm bipolar or something. Objectively, I am good looking. Objectively, I am smart. I don't have the personality of an ox. I am tall and in reasonably good shape. I have popular friends, both male and female. These are all verifiable facts. Objectively, I am very desirable. Yet, somehow, I'm not (I take as proof of this the fact that girls never show interest in me). I think it has something to do with a low self-esteem. I have such a low opinion of myself that I think I just exude loser-ness. And yet, read what I've said above. I *know* that I'm good-looking and intelligent and all of that other stuff. How could I be so down on myself?

I don't have particularly high standards. "Merely attractive" is my standard for attractiveness. Not beautiful, not cute, not hot, just above average. Annoying traits are a turnoff. So is sluttiness. However, I feel that I would be comfortable dating and even marrying a wide range of girls. Really, my only "hard" standard is that the girl like me. I'm willing to compromise in most aspects, to a certain extent.

I think that it's sort of a self-perpetuating thing. I don't have a girlfriend, which makes me feel bad about myself, lowering my chances of getting a girlfriend, making me feel even worse, and so on. And yes, I do feel bad about not having a girlfriend because I take it to mean that there's something wrong with me.
