Because I was clean cut, career focused, dressed well, liked restaurants, theate and classical music and was looking for a wife, not casual sex.
I also passed the Mensa test when I was 16.
All of that made me socially awkward, boring and an arsehole... so I was told.
When I was young, females would have rather thrown themselves beneath a train than been with me.
It's not just about finding each other, it's about being at the same level when you do. It's highly likely that you could have already met your life partner, or soulmate and then hit it off because he weren't yet at the same level of Life experiences to have a proper understanding of each other enough to support an actual relationship.
All of the above. I have had numerous opportunities in the past when I was single that I didn't take due to self esteem issues. I have had a lot of missed opportunities due to where I live. Bad luck has hit me. I have not put forth the effort into making myself look good. And on and on.
i think it could be because... getting to know one another enough to develop an opinion... that's enough to risk direct rejection takes time... at least for me XD... maybe they just too shy... or not the right topics on the table for they both to talk about at once... or we still getting over the last one... or we friendzone eachother until further notice...
G other in my own case , single by choice. No negativity towards women , I have 2 daughters after all , I simply have little need for people , esp the older I get , a greatly faded Male Curse & also I can happily go without physical contact with other humans. I consider these factors to be a HUGE blessing , esp as a man. I believe a lot more women than men are single by choice.
To meet people means going out, being active and not only in job life. It needs willingness, effort and being prepared to face some drawbacks here and there. Tinder and others won't replace all this. The partnership will take place in real life and a chat or quarrel can't be just switched off if convenience
I chose other, because I know why I'm single ; because I'm not willing to compromise what I want !
Same here, my friend; it's also why I am dateless.
I understand that. I was just speculating on that.
My guess is compromise and location are the two biggest factors.
What is it you want?
Miss VIVANT ; I want a True friend and Lover; no ulterior motives, no gold digger ! Just a kind human being ( Female ) to share life with!
Is that asking too much?
Thank you for asking! Have a safe and blessed day! 😊😘
@theCobbler I want exactly the same.
It's bad luck and people set their standards too high
Hmm probably. 😊
I think bad timing is most of it. People have busy lives, and I have noticed that everyone always thinks they have more time than they really do. People also figure that because of how many choices they have; they can wait to find someone when their life situation is more stable.
Lack of commitment, fear because of past experiences, fear of rejection, this stupid age of fucking as many people as possible and “having fun” by being dishonest and heartbreaking purposefully is just acts of immaturity. That’s why i believe more people are single.
Part of the problem is all these social media sites and dating apps. People don’t meet face to face. We’re able to paint a “perfect” picture of ourselves on these sites. However, the reality is different than what is perceived.
Also many other factors come to mind. What are the persons goals in a relationship? My goal is marriage, hers might be friends with benefits. The maturity level as well.
A bunch of different reasons.
1. How society is.
2. Them.
3. Others.
4. Bad timing
5. Looking in the wrong places if at all.
6. Doesn't take initiative.
7. Location.
8. Scare people away. (same as nr 2 )
And a lot of sub groups on 1 - 7
Personally its a mix of things. I've been lonely basicaly my whole life lead me to depression then low self esteem then to bad attitude then it lead me to put 0 effort in finding someone and now i just accepted it because at the end we only have our selves I've already got comfortable being alone
In general, it's only about what you can offer them. Both sides have some how adopted the "what can you do for me" attitude and it's bullshit. Looks has always been a factor whether you accept it or not, so it's not a new thing. I guess people are annoyed at settling for a great 7 when they could get an okay 8.
People are just more picky these days in picking the one partner. Earlier sleeping around was a big no in society, even frowned upon for men. Today it isn't, and more people are financially independent - so they hesitate to tie themselves to one person.
I've also seen my generation is particularly bad at reconciliation. So after a fight, people can't just see past that and like another person again.
The "dating" scene has become a battlefield. Moral restraint has disappeared and replaced by social trends that make it downright dangerous. The hookup culture and also MGTOW and "Incels" have emerged from this.
How are normal people supposed to compete with really good looking people when they don't have to settle down? As a 10 can go from one relationship to the next with little effort and monopolize the single market place.
Hmm well if the really good looking people don’t want an actual relationship then normal people should walk away if they really want a relationship
I think that goes under not taking yourself seriously/ lack of effort
If you mean the 10 are pretending to want something but taking off once bored. .. that’s a dilemma. I guess people need to be more discerning which I guess again Goes with effort
But you raise a good point
Even if I misunderstood it (?) 😊
Bc everyone is looking for perfect without knowing what it means.
Hmm poor compromising skills also not being realistic taking things seriously
I do think there is a fair amount of surrealism Placed on the idea of a relationship
People lose sight of what’s important
Probably other things too but this is significant 😊
I happen to choose guys who are no good for me, I’m trying to learn to choose better men. I’ve wasted a lot of time With relearionships that went no where. I’m a hopeless romantic and blame myself for having rose coloured glasses
The thing is from what i hear women want to find a better man but when the time comes they usually always pick the other guy just because they know they already got the better guy plus they usually reject them anyways
All of the above in addition to a million other reasons.
Everyone has a different and unique reason.
Sure I was just trying to open up Discussion and it only allows limited poll options
But I should have put all of the above and which do you think has greatest impact 😊
Yeah.
For me the parental upbringing has the greatest impact on being single.
