I think my ex will be my downfall as she will always be the measuring stick...all 5'3" of her :p

Same here

Because of a past gf my current standards are now impossibly high (well not impossible but) if she wasnt perfection, she was 99.9% close, and obviously I wont settle for anything less than that now... downgrading makes no sense!

I dont enjoy being single that much though... Its specially bad when you have only one or two people you can call "friends"... And what good is having everything if you cant share it with anyone?

If she was so close to perfect why aren't yall still together? Point is to find someone right for you, not someone perfect. It would be pretty boring to live with a perfect woman I think.

Maybe she realized how perfect she was and then suddenly wondered why she was hanging around with him? :p

Ex-Girlfriends are never perfect.

If she broke up with you the you are clearly delusional because she wasn't into you.

If you broke up with her, then you have forgotten what a friggin bitch she was.

Overly fond memories of ex-girlfriends is nothing more than failure to move on.

as dane cook said in a stand up. not being in a relationship is like you are walking past a really fun looking party, you hear music and people moving around. and you weren't invited. You know it sounds like a cool party.

If you are invited to this party and you're inside- "Wheres my coat, get me the F out of here, this party sucks"

Time, don't force it is my suggestion....

What happens when you're 30?

You turn into Michael Jackson

At your age, women are looking to settle down also, so that should help.

But the older you get the more likely whoever you meet will not be marriage material or be divorced with kids already.

But nothing to worry about at this point though.

You're still plenty young enough to find the right one.

When I see so many around here claim any woman less attractive than Jessica Alba is fat and ugly, it's no wonder so many are single. Good luck finding that much hyped "perfect woman" so many are after. Any such woman, if they existed, would probably want nothing to do with you.

you don't know what you've got until it's gone and you always want what you don't have.

A good woman is a luxury not a necessity. Focus on other areas of your life and a good woman will come along. They always do.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

What do you do if you see your wife stumbling around in the backyard? shoot her again.

LOL @ comments about if you are single when you are 30 or older.

<<--- single and happy (most of the times)

Would I like to get married to the right girl? You bet.

Would I like to get married just for the sake of getting married and tired of being single? No way.

My advice is to go make for yourself an interesting active life. You'll meet her along the way if you don't worry about it.

If you can find a way to synergize these two pieces of advice, you will achieve enlightenment, young grasshopper.

I have a few deals worked out with high school friends that are girls. If we are both not married at a certain age, we will just get married.

Don't worry about it. As a man, your dating market value will likely go up the older and more established you become. Also, new advances in boner pills will allow you to maintain some level of reproductive ability for years to come.

True. I don't recall having the confidence I needed to do a lot of dating until I was in my 30's and had finished my degree and had purchased my own home. You'd be surprised how much more appealing you become to the opposite sex when you have your own house and a good career.

There are other benefits too...

Such as waking up next to the same piece of ass every SINGLE day? :p

Female forum members, close your eyes:

What's the same about women and dog crap? The older they get, the easier they are to pick up. Don't get depressed over women at 25, your best years are definitely ahead of you. When you're 35 you'll be able to comfortably date 25-45 year olds.
