    You left out "I wouldn't join a club that would accept me as a member."

    hard to find a soulful gay guy you can trust and be there for
    they usually seek sex
    and only sex
    :(

    I'm considered a nice guy (it's what I've been told by everybody), so I either have been over looked or I get the "you're too good of a friend" answer. It's seriously frustrating I just want to make someone happy =(

      that just means that they do not find you sexy for some reason or another. I would love to be involved with a nice guy but if I am not attracted to them sexually then they have the option to be friends if the would like.

    Mine is a bit more complicated. Right now I choose to be single.

    I am an English woman living in a little town in Norway. Others say I am attractive and I get some attention because of my curvy figure and happy personality. I think I am too overweight, but so do most women. Two years ago I finished a relationship. I had not been single in a decade so I decided to take it easy for a while, get to know myself and who I have become in all that time.

    Now, approaching 30, it floats about my mind that I would maybe like to at least meet somebody interesting soon (the next couple of years) so that I have a chance to take it slowly and get to know this person well.

    Where I live is a small population and not a lot of social options out there. Makes it a bit hard to meet new people. So when you filter that down to just men, and of my age group it gets tough. Who knows? Right now I am not stressing over it too much. I do like my life and having my home to myself.

    It just won't last! 50% of marriages end in divorce.

    There is a couple reasons but I voted number four (I'm not accommodating enough to people). I have dated a lot of people and I am sick of it. Its easy people are simple to manipulate and anything that comes easy is not worth having.

    I have more possible partners apposed to real friends. Now while real friends are not always reliable I hate having to give a shit about someone (besides family) on holidays and birthdays and stuff since at this point I honestly do not give a fuck.

    People made a big deal about relationships but its never like you imagine it. All relationships have failed since my partner cheated on me or left me or I left them since I did not like being with them. After a long time relationships get boring and you just want space.

    I would be better off buying a hooker so I will just go with that. In fact I would love to buy a hooker to live with me to just nod and listen to my nonsense even if they did not care. There is no commitment, no caring about that person you just pay them and they amuse them.

    Would be the greatest thing in the world. Also I started as a loner I got friends and either they left or I lost them for some reason in the end. So yes I am better off alone and I prefer it that way. Less hassle and I would like something where I am not dealing with making friends/lovers all the time but focused on a job where I have to solve problems instead. Its a lot less irritating than dealing with the human race. everyone things you should make friends at work but that is not why you are there. you are suppose to focus.

    The grass is always greener. When I'm single, I want to be attached. When I'm attached, I want to be single. Really I think I just want variety. From what I've seen, men and women are similar in this way.

    Wow, I was expecting my poll to have an equal distribution across the options, but clearly not.

    Here's my contribution: I'm single because I am genuinely not very good with women. It's disappointing obviously and I have improved over the years, but I'm wise enough to understand that we live in a Darwinian society and that if I don't have what it takes to court a woman, then I do not deserve one.

    I still would like to be in a long-term loving relationship one day. But until then, I'm going to have a good time pursuing my outdoor sports, travel and other hobbies and interests.

      This makes me very curious about you.

    Well I have lost faith in relationships and I absolutely love being single! I fully believe that variety is the spice of life. After awhile I get bored with having just 1 lover unless we are in an open relationship with no secrets

    I have been single for 3 years, Nor have I been asked out in 3 years. I used to get boyfriends quite easily but I became a nerd and got really shy and now hang out with mostly guys, so boys found better girls to be interested in...So yeah. That's why.

    It's a mix of a few of them, I am PAINFULLY shy, it's horrible! I also feel I'm not all that pretty or goodlooking so no guy would go for me, aswell I feel like I don't have a very good personality so even if a guy was intrested in me it wouldn't go very far. But the biggest thing is that I'm very shy. Whenever a guy talks to me for the most part I just smile and nod.

      i totally feel you...
      although it is a bit different in my situation..

      i'm cute but fat... yes, there is a saying beauty is subjective etc... but lets faced a fact, no men like a fat ugly woman... you can be ugly but as long as you size 0/2, you definately still in preety category...

      and i had stutter since i was kid... although now i'm not anymore, but still i am not a good communicator and no personality... guys might get bored to death with me on 3/4 dates...

      during my teenage years, i felt so lonely... but now i think i learn to loved myself... so maybe i don't mind being single for the rest of my life.

        Are situations might not be so different, I'm fat as well. I have been since I was 10 and I used to get picked on really bad and I just sort of shut everyone out and stopped talking to people, my though process was if I didn't talk they would have nothing to walk about. And it works. You don't get people hating you for who you are, but you also don't get people loving you for who you are because you aren't being you.
        I wrote that a year and a half ago and not a lot has changed, I don't have a boyfriend, I'm still shy, still don't feel I'm the prettiest person, or have the best personality. The one thing that has changed for me is the negativity, I may not be the prettiest, or the smartest, or the nicest but I'm me and some day I'll find someone who will love me for me, flaws and all.

    I just don't feel the need to be in a relationship...I'm looking but for the most part there isn't anyone who particularly stands out. Also...I'm not really over my ex (as in I compare all others to him...not good) but yeah.

    I was never interested in a relationship up until recently, but I hate myself too much I am currently not in the mood to chase after girls.

    I broke up with someone and took a year out to make sure I didn't take any baggage into a new relationship. Now I'm a bit ring-rusty and I'm also not really making the effort to meet someone. Either that, or I've redefined myself as a single person over the last year and have just become used to it. It's not always a bed of roses, though. I love women.
