Why are so many people surprised I'm still single?

It is a surprise when a hot girl in her 20s is single. No idea what you look like but maybe that's the case. Also depends what culture you're raised from or how strict your parents were. Without knowing you though, it's always a surprise to me if a hot girl is single.

[Asker]

Maybe I don't go out enough 🤣🤣 I think moving to the bigger city when I get my new job will be better

[Hairylegs222]

I don't on purpose. Insane how expensive things are these days. Dam inflation 😭

[Berethor]

They might think that you look attractive.

[Asker]

I'm still single at 29 lol

[Passion_Devil]

Because people think we're constantly active in the dating scene 24/7

[OneNineZero]

I ain't surprised
I would strongly recommend you to life your whole life single and dont bring any child into this world coz thats what needed and it will happen whether people like it or not

[Sixgunsound]

No information, context, and you posted anonymously. The inability to provide any background information might annoy some people?

[Asker]

It's just when I talk with my friends and they always say I'm so nice, easy going and pretty

[zagor]

An anonymous person we don't know is asking us why people are surprised she is single...

Could be any number of reasons, none of which we are aware.

[Asker]

I guess causee they say I'm really fit and slim since I'm always at the gym. People say I'm pretty but I don't see it lol maybe I just don't believe in myself

[zagor]

Well I would assume they mean it as a compliment. But even a pretty girl who doesn't get out much is likely to be single. Over the years I've known a lot of attractive women who were single, some who were happy with that, some not.

[Asker]

I mean I moved to a new country then a pandemic broke out and now im back in the uk just about to move to a new city. Its kinda hard to go out dating if you have no friends established

[Asker]

I'm considering trying online. I've tried it in Canada and some of the guys were very normal more normal than the guys irl tbh

[zagor]

Do they have any social outlets like Meetup groups there? I know a lot of them shut down during covid but they seem to be picking back up again. I've found them a good way to meet people when in an area where you don't know many people.

[Asker]

I'm tempted to try bumble

[zagor]

Online is difficult for both men and women, for different reasons. But I've known some people who've had good luck with it. Me, I think I've given up on that.

[Asker]

I guess I can only but try really

[Asker]

I've honestly not liked any of the guys I met in real life I just could not bare the thought getting intimate 🤮 I find online better you can filter them out better and see all the options. Hardly any guy my age turns up at the sports clubs

[zagor]

Just remember that unlike real life, on the web people can post deceiving pics, and make up all kinds of things about themselves that you can't verify. In response to another post here, I was just talking about a girl I met online whose profile pic was heavily airbrushed. Or they use old pics or even one showing someone else. And their nasally voice or bad breath or habit of staring at boobs won't show up on their profile.

[Asker]

Well I don't even wear make up and I'm not into all that selfish in good lighting. I'm probably like a 6. I'm not fat I'm 120ish lbs 5ft7

[Asker]

I know it will take time to find someone that I can tolerate.

[zagor]

You may have to think over just what you are looking for in a mate.

[Asker]

Someone who is sporty like me. They are usually determined people as it takes a lot of hard work to keep looking fit etc I just love that in guys

[Asker]

The last guy said he was lazy, drinks too much and had crohns disease I don't think we would match... however I liked his looks

[zagor]

There are plenty of gym rats around here. Unfortunately I quit going during covid and am having a difficult time getting back into shape.

[Asker]

Hope you can get back into the swing again. Yes plenty of gym people online tho I just need one that's nice then I'm good cause I'm not overly picky cause there is no such thing as the perfect guy

[TheMajesticKing777]

Maybe you look like someone that wouldn't be single normally

[Asker]

I should just choose somone already now im getting older

[TheMajesticKing777]

If rushing into it is what you wanna do, I'm not gonna stop you lol

[Asker]

Well I should pick one and date for a bit

[TheMajesticKing777]

Sounds like a much better idea than that last one

[Asker]

I know lots of people that moved in after only a few weeks and got engaged 3 years later.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Yea but how long will those engagements last tho?

[Asker]

I know a friend of mine who's been cheating before their engagement and still doing it

[TheMajesticKing777]

Yep see, there you go, you gotta read them out first

[Asker]

He just stays with her tho

[TheMajesticKing777]

Smh.

[Asker]

I know could take awhile to find somone decent and not a mean guy

[TheMajesticKing777]

I believe you'll find someone, I wish you the best when you do 💯

[OddBeMe]

Societal expectations are still prominent so most have a longterm relationship by early 20s and eventually families.

But don’t fall for it and keep on your own path.

[Asker]

Well I still single at 29 🤣🤣

[OddBeMe]

Are you having trouble meeting people?

[Asker]

I did I moved to Canada on a working holiday then the pandemic came along and now im moving to a new city in the UK. I might just try bumble at first

[OddBeMe]

Wow, that sounds awesome. I love London. Stayed in south London for a few weeks on business and loved it.

But yeah, gotta go by stats. We find mates through people we know. So get to know more people and increase your chances.

[Asker]

I certainly won't be like statistic so hard to make friends in your late 20s aswell. Just gonna have to try bumble and join the park runs

[Asker]

I know friends that found their live online so worth a try. I tried it for the laugh for a few years years some people were OK. It's just the very good looking guys to avoid as most are players

[OddBeMe]

Oh yeah, online dating does work. I wouldn’t just rely on that. I guess look at it like business.

I network each week with at least 10 new people. At least 1 will do business with me. There’s a similar ratio for dating, too.

[Asker]

Thanks for the advice your so right I need to really get into it I'm sure someone will like me back

[Asker]

I've had a lot of guys stopping me in the street during my travels over the years loved the attention

[OddBeMe]

so you like catcalling

[jestergent]

Maybe it's possible you have options and you haven't chosen to settle for anyone.

[Asker]

I guess when I think about its a compliment

[jestergent]

It's considered a compliment. Maybe think on it.

[Asker]

Yeah deffo an ego boost for myself. I should just choose someone as I'm getting much older now

[JuanVeIasco]

Because 'very unattractive' women are more likely to be married than other women

[Asker]

You mea ugly people are married?

[DarkWinterNights]

I think he means that often very attractive women tend to think they can always do better, never actually settle down with someone and eventually run out of time. Whereas less attractive women are going to have an easier criteria for a partner.

[Asker]

@DarkWinterNights I have a bit of time but not too long either as I'm 29 now. Kts not that I didn't like anyone it's because I've moved around a lot from my university town then I went to Toronto for 2 years turned out shit because of the pandemic (no dating) I'm back home in my rural town in Scotland so no dating again as the selection is crap hardly any guys but I'm due to move to a city in the uk soon so I'm hoping to just go for it then

[Anonymous]

Generally when this is the case, it's because you're probably very attractive, and/or a very nice person. People "forget" it sometimes takes more than that (ie approaching etc).

[daster4442]

maybe they think you look beatiful thats why they are suprised

[Asker]

Yeah lots of people say I'm pretty.

[Danny_dan92]

I guess maybe you’re attractive. Hard to tell given the anon

[Godsvengeance]

They must think that you are either pretty and/or have a great personality.

[bamesjond0069]

Thats just something nice people say. Nobody is surprised.

[Xoirwinkan]

Sounds like you're fishing for roundabout compliments.

[MCheetah]

Probably based on how you dress or act.

[Sam_The_Savage]

Hun it's a compliment 😘

[Asker]

I'm still single at 29 lol

[Sam_The_Savage]

Aww r u waiting for me?😂

[Iron_Man]

Because that’s your choice

[Nahid1707]

Because you don’t want drama

[TrillXHippy]

I don’t know anonymous

[Anonymous]

How long you been single now
