Really. There's something about having one body builder boyfriend toss me around the room a few times because I dared to bug him about cleaning out his cat box - he was torturing his cat by keeping him locked in a carrier for peeing on his bed, and the cat box hadn't been cleaned in at least a week or two (he later scoffed when I told him he assaulted me - it wasn't assault in his mind because he never hit me
), another pulling a knife because I dared to go to the park with friends against his wishes (I managed to teach this one that pulling a knife on me should have included stabbing me - he ended up more afraid of me than I was of him), another that got way too clingy while still being married yet estranged with his third wife, another requiring me to tell him I loved him or he would go off with another girl he just met, and another that griped about how I cut my f***ing meat and wouldn't answer the phone when the caller ID said it was a telemarketer.
I win at the jackass lottery.
Oh, and then there's the one guy I was considering as a boyfriend until we had our first date, and first night of sex, follow by a marriage proposal so that he could cover me on his insurance. I also met one of his alter personalities (as in, full-on multiple personality disorder). WTF, man?
No wait.

You are single now because you pick the crappiest guys I've ever heard of.
I had empathy when i read about the first guy....second guy ....it started going down in the third guy...
i ended up wondering what those "standards" of yours really are.

Judgmental much?
Perhaps if you ASKED me about the guys and their personalities and how they are perceived, I might consider responding. As is, you know absolutely nothing about any of them.

On my own, I don't even really think about this, I'm pretty happy being single. But I get asked fairly consistently by acquaintances why I am still single (including today 
). After giving it some serious thought, I have come up with the following:
I'm really not in a position to be dating right now. I have some life stuff to get in order first before I could even start to consider the idea, at the very least I would prefer to be in the career I want before considering it. Apart from that I think it would take a particular kind of person to put up with me in a relationship and I haven't met many who would be capable of it. I also don't think many guys could put up with my two main special interests for very long.

What more to ask about a guy on steroids who's violent against you and who tortures a cat like that? or a guy who pulls a knife for silly reasons? or a guy who was probably cheating on his wife?
just based on those, i perceive them as PITIFUL TOTAL JERKS POOR EXCUSES OF MEN .

Sorry you find that upsetting, and that it all seems this way. Being single isn't all that bad actually, when you get to avoid another chance and winning said lotto. As far as validation goes I feel true validation of one's self comes from within. You feel you have learned from your past, and quite frankly that's all that matters 
and not the meagre views of some randoms on the Internetz.

Yep. I have not had a boyfriend for the past 7 years. I have dated plenty, but none of my dates have worked out well enough to become boyfriend material for one reason or another, but it typically is because I know what I'm looking for in a life partner and I have yet to find it. Hence, I am single due mostly to my standards.

and not the meagre views of some randoms on the Internetz.Indeed.
Having the past that I have, when I feel I am under attack, even if it is "just someone else's meager view on the Internet," I might not allow that to stand depending on exactly how strong such an attack is and the circumstances surrounding it. This thread is all about people exposing their underbelly and admitting to something that might already be a sore spot for them. Trying to analyze them, be judgmental and assuming, and trying to "fix" someone that hasn't asked for it is a cheap shot, and it's unfortunately quite easy for others to get caught up in such mess, even when they mean no ill intent. It's lynch mob mentality, and I WILL put my foot down on it.
