My last relationship ended in 2006. I’ve dated casually since then, but I haven’t found anyone compatible.

We both work in a library. We're probably pretty similar in some ways.

Some woman just said you have nice eyes. Why can't you think about that?

Because that ain't BS.

What's BS is making generalizations, and living off them.


She has no interest in dating me, though. She only likes bad boy thug types even though she hates how they treat her like crap and run after they get her pregnant. She has three children out of wedlock and the fathers are nowhere in sight.

Do you really want to date someone like that? Rose tinted glasses. Think about it. Dealing with the stresses of being a step father, dealing with her exes, money troubles etc.

Me too, I'm pushing 30 and don't bother with dating BS. I'm quite happy being free of worry and stress. To me dating doesn't seem to be worth the trouble. I can look at all I am spared of.

No, I have no interest in dating her. I am not ready to be a father and would rather have my own children instead of someone else'. I just hate how women without children and who are single don't like me. :(

I've come to the conclusion that in order for me to date, I'll have to move and I don't plan on moving anytime soon so there goes any chance at dating. In the Seattle area, thanks to the tech boom, there are almost 150 single guys per 100 single women. I'll take my dog to park for a walk and see a dozen other guys walking their dogs but no women (single women, I'll see some women with their husband/boyfriend). I'll take various classes and there will be many other guys and 1 or 2 women around my mom's age. I'll go to a bar to get a drink and there will be a dozen guys at the counter and maybe a woman or two with their husband/boyfriend sitting off somewhere. It's just ridiculous.

I think with you it’s an ego thing, you want to date to feel better about yourself and feel like you’re worth more. What if I told you that you can do that without dating? You can’t change others but you have all the power in the world to change yourself. Start with your mindset. But you have to want to change. If you don’t, noone can help you.

I moan to the boss at work a lot and get ignored. People like and respect people who moan less and change more. I’m doing an experiment of no moaning and all action taking and will report back here after a while with my perception of others opinions of me.

There’s near 2,500 or more men in my area then women. I’m doomed . Since more men then women makes women super super picky
