Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yBecause its really hard to find a compatible person and then also not screw it up somehow with someone things might / could have worked out with.
For example:
I am not religious so that rules out the majority of women right out of the gate.
I am an anarchist so that rules out another large majority of women who dont have compatible politics.
I am vaguely intelligent and annoyed by stupid people so thats 50% out the window.
The most beautiful and successful etc women are all going to be with the richest / most successful men etc, so that is whatever that is? Its got to be at least 10%?
So while it might seem like there are a lot of potential partners the reality is that that isn't the case at all.
Once you start to factor in even very basic things like 'does this person want children and or pets' the list becomes very short and you have no idea who they even are and even if you did know the logistics of being in different countries or different towns can be a deal breaker.
If you want to be happily married your best bet from my experience is to be a very average person with no strong opinions about anything and find a compatible person early before you are old, bitter and jaded.30 Reply

Well you are not alone and also there are lots of men struggle to get a girlfriend and still single too.
But I think for women it's easier to find a boyfriend rather than a man.
As long as a girl makes herself looks attractive and good looking for sure lots of men will chase you.
However if you are a man, that doesn't guarantee as man is more visual type and woman is not visual type so woman is not quite attracted to hot guy though some of them are but most of them don't.
Men need to have a strong finance so that women are more attracted to have a relationship with us bcs women are seeking a strong man that could protect her and responsible for her life in the future. So it's more difficult for man's situation as they need to prove their income capability first.
As women just needs to focus on her looks and that's it. So don't feel so down.
Just try to make urself beautiful as you could and I guarantee lots of men will be waiting and you will be confused which man you should choose to become ur partner.00 Reply

College is a great place to meet loads of men. Volunteering with grassroots groups is also a way to meet involved, thoughtful people.

u +1 yYou are only 18 years old. You are at an age where you feel ready for life and you want to have everything now, but perhaps you are not quite ready. Maybe you need to kiss a few more frogs so that you will appreciate the prince when we comes into your life.
120 Reply I could just as easily flip your question😄! .. They alllll say, there's always that ONE person out there.. that certain special one. Yeah? Where? The other side of the Globe? In THIS life? Or the NEXT!.. haha... Hell, I've been in a few semi-serious relationships with some of the best ladies around.. but I have never been in one that's gone more than 12 . months.. exactly One year.. is the farthest my girlfriend status has ever reached. Been told that it's crazy how I'm single all the damn time.. and if"they" weren't with such and such, they'd be trippin over their own feet to hang out with me.. I can say, that my responses always fall into the... the"Oh, C'mon!" $500 Category of Bad Timing. I'm assuming you yourself might have fallen into similar spots sometimes.. However, I don't presume to speak of someone else's own thoughts on the matter.. lemme just say, on a personal note, that you are indeed a good looking lady. It's mindboggling sometime, especially when you find yourself around people that don't seem to have any problem whatsoever in that aspect of life. Or you see the right woman in an absolute mismatch with some jerk.. likewise with the other way. I tell em, cherish it! Don't take it for granted! That's where I'll leave it. I don't wish to yap -yap -yap off anyone's ears... hope not. Good Luck to you, hela1110, and Thanks for reading!👋🏻🙂

+1 yProbably, because you have spent a lot of time looking for Mr. Perfect, and not Mr. Right. Look for a person who actually talks to yo!! Not your breast, or butt, but to you!! Do not search for them; go about your day, be yourself always, and let them find you!! It could be that person you pass in the street and say hi to everyday, it could be the person you see on the local transport who seems to always have a kind word for you.
No one is above , or below. It is always about the heart. Change your perspective, and change your life!!20 ReplyMaybe guys are too intimidated by your looks.
Maybe you have silly standards. Though usually girls with silly standards end up with fuckboys and scumbags and bums wh have babies and let the girl take care of it while he plays video games.
But you might be seeing right through good boyfriend material due to poorly rationalized standards. Or, your only option is guys like I mentioned above and you can recognize them and refuse to be taken in by their manipulation that gets girls pregnant and turns them to single mothers.20 Reply
+1 yThis is a good question, that many people have. I think that you should list qualities that you are looking for in your type of guy. E. g. Tall, must love dogs, or he has to be shy. Once you make a list, then rate each characteristic from one to ten on importance, like You might like a guy that is 6 foot. That would be 10 then as you say next 5'10 that would be 9 and so on. Then when you are looking for your ideal man rate what you are seeing with each characteristic. Then compare to your list. Congratulations you just had your intro to Machine learning, at some point I will be doing a questionaire and survey, so I can use that info to create a better way to find peoples matches. Also if a guy falls short of certain characteristics he can work on those to better himself for finding love.

+1 yWhy the planet is full of women and I'm still single?
It's because no one asks anyone else if they are a good match.
It's because people are overly critical of eachother.
it's becuase people are scared of other people.
it's because people want to have utility instead of love.
It's because people can't just say not a good match instead of being an asshole about it.
I could go on, but there are lots of reasons it's hard to find someone.
One of them is going online and asking why you are single without saying what you are even looking for.00 Reply

+1 yBecause you, and the rest of females in western civilization have been brainwashed to believe that the impossible is reasonable. You can’t have it all, just like men can’t have it all. Women can’t take the high paying jobs and turn around and bitch that there aren’t any men that make more than them. You can’t force men out of universities and bitch that there aren’t more men with more education than you. You can’t demand men work 80 hours a week and come home to do more work at home. You’ve been fed a sack of shit and lies for your entire life and now all of us are fucked because you can’t recognize the difference between ideology and reality.

Minus Chinese and indian dicks (who would want those pfft)= 3.7 - 1= 2.7 billion
Now dicks that are between the ages 18 and 24 are 40% of those 2.7 billion dicks which makes it 1,080,000,000 billion dicks available.

Finding someone is all about probability and compromise. You are not guaranteed to find someone, it may happen or it may never happen. Your odds depends on several factors like looks, standards/expectations, dealbreakers, location, attitude, etc. Ultimately, finding a partner will be based upon your willingness to compromise with someone in order to incorporate them into your life.

From my observation to re-answer your question, probably most men are too superficial for you and you have hard time to resonate in ideeas with them , it is nothing bad sometimes there is only one person in a billion. Sometimes just big quantities are not enough
+1 yYou still have some maturity that you need to go through. The stubbornness that you described will never make for a healthy relationship. Modern dating culture is selfish by nature. I honestly do feel bad for the younger generation. It's all about them and all about sex. It's a really frail platform to build something on.

Make a habit of looking back and trying to understand why that was not the right thing for you at that time. It is usually very obvious for me later.

How old-fashioned? Do you truly believe that your generation of men is any different than my generation? When I was 18 it was 1963. My grandfather that I adored, died suddenly at 85. My Dad, who was the hardest physical labor man I've ever known, died at the at of 57. Then my president, that gave the country hope of ending the war in Vietnam, gave us hope that Nixon wouldn't be around to kick anymore, gave us hope for a new world, a world of peace, 20 years after that horrible second world war. when I say I'm too fucking old for you, I mean, in terms of fucking, I'm too old for you. For anything else I'm would challenge you to a discussion on any subject, a debate, political or otherwise. I promise you won't be bored.
Just don't hold your values too high on a pedestal. Maintain your strength and determination when selecting a lifelong mate. Would you stay with them until one of you dies? I promised to do just that and did.
I may be old but, like my 104-year-old mother, I haven't lost anything mentally. I am the 3rd District Representative for the Oswego County Democratic Committee, and I am the State youth representative for the NY State United Church of Christ.
I'm old and I admit it, unlike some on here that ghost their real age. But I'm not dead yet.
