I feel 17, everybody thinks I'm younger than I really am, and I act like I'm about 4. Where's the appeal of 38?

You should try it. Though you could find yourself arrested.....

You could try reverse psychology. Tell them "You dont want to date me." and they may decide to date you.

Why am I still single? Because so few women like to communicate the way I do. I prefer a slower, more thoughtful communication style that admits things much more readily than most women want to. They'll talk fast, such that I cannot even follow all of it, and they'll also lie to "spare" feelings - and the lies have the effect of hurting my feelings worse once I find out about them!! Also because I don't even want to try to "fix" a woman who does not appeal to me.

No amount of sex is worth living with a raging jackwagon.

Am I the only one who responds to "I can't believe you're still single!" with "I can't believe it's not butter!"

I do it every time, with mixed results.

I'm honestly not a fan of having things like that said to me because it seems patronizing. Like they honestly don't believe that you SHOULD have a romantic partner, but they say something like that to butter you up. :? The funny thing is that it's women from before my generation that say this. Sorry to say, but women from this generation seem to be a bit different when it comes to who they wanna go out with (just like the men. )

Generally, I only ever get this question from girls (guys, naturally, dont give two s**ts about other guy's love lives unless it involves banging models). Here's how this conversation goes with me most of the time:

her: "So why are you still single?"
me: "I've never met a girl that actually wanted me, and I doubt such a girl even exists. As far as I can tell, i'm unlovable."
her: "How can you believe that?! Surely there has to be someone out there for you?" (or something similar)
me: "Well, since you're expressing such a deep interest in the subject, I would like to inform you that the position is, indeed, open. Would you like to volunteer?"

*awkward silence*


You don't go out with people just because you/they have a boy/girlfriend vacancy. That's how awful marriages start

Do people really think that having a few books published somehow magically solves all your relationship problems? Ah, if only it could be that simple....


I'll tip-toe around this one a bit, because I think it's fair to point out that the more functional among us (I'm one of them) should at least count our blessings before we whine too hard.

There is a clear NT belief system that basically states that once you're successful, dating and marriage should come together easily. The notion is that once you've buried the great adult "are you a loser?" test, the rest should simply follow.

The joke for me on the "find a nice girl" thing is that I have found plenty of nice girls. But, them being nice girls doesn't magically make a relationship spring forth, fully formed and functional. I happen to be a bit more able to date than most folks around here and I still end up with huge problems when it comes time to turn the corner in a relationship and get serious.

NTs can be downright obnoxious in their willingness to oversimplify things.

I think this is one of the great disservices that Anglo-American culture does to young people. The whole "you're a freak if you're not constantly dating someone, anyone" thing.

It's funny, because I remember a South American girl from college who was drop-dead gorgeous and everyone gave her s**t for being single. She tried to explain to them that dating in lieu of boredom is a thing in the English-speaking world and people elsewhere don;t do it anywhere near as pathologically as we do in our society.
