Any tips besides hanging out with friends and drinking myself stupid? <--- I already do these

Oh, and why the hell is every girl around here preggors, has a kid, is straight up BEAT, or has a bf???? wtf.

It's hard to be single? boo fricking hoo

The strange thing is there are more females than males, so you think you would have plenty to choose from. I have found that there are plenty of women out there... it is just they are large or have stability issues.

Have you tried online dating?

Stop drinking yourself stupid and get a life. Pursue a hobby outside your house. Get a hobby if you don't have one. Find like-minded girl. 3) Profit.

But really, if I remember correctly you are a cute hispanic guy ( I may be 100% wrong), you will find someone else.
Just keep on keeping on things get easier.

I'm not hispanic, but I look it. Thanks for the compliment. ;)

Eh... online dating. I don't know about that. I've considered hitting a few girls up through myspace though. I'm not sure how acceptable or creepy/stalkerish that is.

bah....women.....i spent the whole freaking weekend in bed with this girl i've know for a loooong time, and the last night she told me she wasn't sure if she wanted to be with me or this other guy. if she would've told me the day i arrived, things would've been so much easier.

I feel your pain. I'm 31 and after having several LTRs and one STR being single again stinks. I really thought the last girl would have been the one til she went psycho on me. Sad thing is meeting girls is difficult for me. Alot of them are either too young, taken, ugly, or toting kids from the previous marriage.

Is it possible that the type of woman you want to meet isn't likely to be at the places you generally frequent?

After a while, you get accustomed to misreading signals from the women in your life and embarrassing both of you when you ask one of them out, and you start to resent all the women you can actually attain because the mask you put on while you're flirting at a bar does not convey the depth or sincerity of who you really are.

Women piss me off. Enjoy being single and try to have more success than I've had.

Dude.... I can relate, seriously. :beer:

Access to decent women is somewhat exclusive. The ones that you can reach without effort might not be worthy for relationship.

29 and single and most of my friends are married, engaged, or in a LTR which means that most nights they are boring as crap and home to bed real early. Friday nights turned from keg parties and drinking games to couples parties and board games for these guys. Sometimes I miss having a live in girlfriend, but most of the time it's kinda nice to do what I want when I want and spend my paycheck on me.

Now my worry is that I'll get too old and all the good ones will be gone.
