What is the real reason that you’re still single (brutally honest answers)?

Question

I’m 6’4 and me being very tall is the reason I’m still single, I’m too picky, I wanted a man over 6’5 but I always end up dating shorter men. I’m apparently intimidating. My friends 5’5 and under all have boyfriends and healthy relationships and I’m the only one single. I asked guys out but I get rejected. I’m done

Cause I'm a hopeless mess of bad decisions that I need to spend the next year or so fixing up so I can have a happy life and share it with someone.

I'm not ready, I'm broke, sick, still not fully recovered from the damage to my liver from the alcohol issue last year, I need to learn more skills and become more productive.

I've been doing this a lot, focusing on building my immune system to ensure I don't grow a staph infection again, as I lost half of my lung function last time and I was lucky enough to get all of it back, and more.

Same for my liver but enzymes went up, so clearly my body is still saying "you may not be drinking, but you're still an idiot". That's how i interpret my health even going 1% in the other direction.

Basically, I'm a loser and an alcoholic who's changing my life and becoming much happier and more independent, but I'm nowhere even remotely close to datable.

And your height wouldn't bother me at all, the most I'd do is say "wow, she's tall" to myself. But I'm not some insecure child about my 5'9" height.

Admittedly, I never dated a girl taller and not because I wouldn't, just more that most girls are shorter. Off the top of my head without looking it up again, I think it's roughly 2-4% of girls are 5'9" or above.

One girl is 6'1", sweet girl. She was a popular girl who for some reason respected me, despite nobody liking my awkward self in school.

And then one girl who was 6'2", she was super smug and arrogant and we didn't get along. But again, this is a "I don't get along with them", not an issue with their height cause I really don't care if a girl is taller.

Cause at the end of the day, I can still carry you with your arms around my neck☺️

I'm not single, but... the way things are I'll tell you why I would choose to be.

Absurd demands right off the top. I'm expected to be a god damn rocket sergeon, MacGyver, fondleing money like Elon Musk, Benching more than Ronnie Coleman, blessed by the Gods by being 7 feet tall with a 1.5 foot long dick, and all of that for what...

Some fat chick that looks like thumb. She's been to college and is almost half a million dollars in debt and she expects me to save her... because the under water basket weaving major and gender studies isn't getting her far in the barista work.

Naw... hell naw. If you made me single and had to start over again. I'd work some shit job, save... figure out a passive income, buy a van, and live all over the States banging girls that are just impressed that I put glow-in-the-dark paint all over my walls and have an incinerator toilet in a Box truck, with a shower, stove, bed and multi televisions. I would still get on G@G just to call most of you losers while I'm sleeping in a Wallmart parking lot with a sexy midget I picked up on the Highway.

Well I don't get out much as I do still live with my parents. I am saving up for a house though. I also don't trust dating sites. Also not sure if I could do long distance again. I mean maybe but honestly I'd prefer to meet a guy in person like in a old school romance. I know I'm not bad looking but I do look young for my age so I guess that could be why I don't approached by guys in person. I get mistaken for a high schooler. I would like to meet someone close by and around my age although I could date slightly younger or older. I doubt I will though given how things are now but that'll change one day. We'll see though.

Brittanyroseee · Accepted Answer

Not my priority right now. My career is more important to me. I dont wanna deal with someone else and their issues. I also like not being on edge about another person constantly and what they are doing, who they are seeing, etc. I also am picky and i will not just date anyone, i need to be physically attracted to them and if im not, i won't like them romantically. Call me shallow. Men have their preferences too.

If I wasn't already seeing someone, I'd be thrilled to have you as my girlfriend!! I'm 6' 9"! My girlfriend's only a few years older and few inches shorter than you. If she can find someone, I'm sure you can, too.
My best friend's step-daughter is almost as tall as me and she's married with at least two full-grown adult kids, now. If Linda can do it, so can you!
If guys didn't like tall, leggy women, why do women run around in very high heels and platform shoes to make them look half a foot taller than they already are? That's part of what attracts us!! Long sexy legs!! Use those and your good looks and great personality to get yourself a guy! Short skirts are a big help, too. Makes your legs look even longer! Now, GET OUT THERE and GO GET HIM, TIGER!!
I didn't find my first steady girlfriend until I was 34!! And it was COMPLETELY by accident!! She was 7 months older than me! We were together for 10 years before she started cheating on me!!

dragoblack · Answer

Honestly, it's because not many women are interested, i have horrid luck when it comes to romance, and those who are interested in me, are usually women i really don't find attractive whatsoever. Whenever I do find women attractive, they either don't find me attractive, lives too far away, doesn't see me as romance material, get turned off by the fact I'm on disability, looks late 20s but is actually underage (and i will absolutely not ever pursue anyone underaged), ghosts me, already in a relationship, is lesbian, thinks I'm too nice of a person, and/or sees me more like a sibling.

Bricealan · Answer

@amazonchick171 I've been engaged a dozen times, but when they do a "background check" they dump me, because so many of my past wives have died under 'strange' circumstances! 😁😁 I've never been convicted! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍 Really, married once, and in one long term relationship with a college lover. The trauma of a divorce is too much to go through.

MissSunshine2 · Answer

It used to be the weight I’ve gained, from a medical condition and not going out enough. Now I’ve recently started meeting guys that don’t mind that I’m fat. Within the past few months, I’ve attracted three good looking, fit men who were interested. One changed his mind. The other two are still interested and one of those two guys, we agreed to try dating when we finish our studies.

aceleon · Answer

i can count many reasons but most important ones:

1-my resent enviroment doesn't have girls in it.

2- i absolutly HATE responsibility and expectations, even as words, i can give you flowerts or presents at valentine İF İ FEEL LİKE İT but if you expect me to feel like it i rather get beaten up by mike tyson than even see your face at the moment.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

I was never interested in raising a family, and while dating when I was in my 20s-early 40s, I found most women wanted to have children. Add on to that, I am comfortable living alone. So there is no pressure mentally to get married for the companionship.

SixFootSexy · Answer

I dumped my ex after a year because she had some responsibility and mental issues that she couldn't get past.

Most women are more trouble than they're worth and/or they are promiscuous. I want to be with someone who isn't a perpetual victim and is highly attracted to me.

AngryCarl3 · Answer

I have attachment issues.

Attachment issues are emotional and behavioral problems stemming from a child's failure to form a secure, consistent bond with primary caregivers, often due to neglect, abuse, or early trauma. These, or similar issues in adults, manifest as extreme clinginess, fear of abandonment (anxious), avoidance of intimacy (avoidant), or difficulty trusting others.

Because my dad would just flip out in anger at my mom, me and my sisters over the slightest thing. He would go into a rage over not being able to get the tv to work for instance, and then blame us for it. He would always justify it and say if we weren’t like this or that, he wouldn’t have to yell at us. Even when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, he still screamed at her and treated her terribly. He never felt remorse or apologized. After dealing with that for years, I decided I’m never taking a risk of being in a position like that again. I think there are great men in the world, but after years with my dad, I don’t have energy to sort through them anymore to figure out if they are good or not. I’m staying single.

Surely · Answer

I used to say that I was going to marry a 6 foot tall female chiropractor. But after looking for thirty years. I married a widowed mother of three that is 5 foot 8!
I know that it is hard not to do. But don’t give up on guys before you meet them!
I worked second and third shifts without weekends off. That made my search really difficult!

Phoenix98 · Answer

1# My job is physically exhausting and really dirty

2# Dating is expensive and I have more important things to put my money towards at the moment.

3# Been fucked over before pretty badly so I'm cautious when it comes to women.

exitseven · Answer

It is discouraging to me that you cannot fins a guy who is secure enough to date somebody taller than he is. It is a testimony on the state of men today

Anonymous · Answer

the last person i was involved with, felt like a friendship instead of a relationship, just ruined me mentally/emotionally, and also i have always had a lifelong resentment towards the gender dynamic of men having to be the ones to court women and make the first move all the time.

RavVid · Answer

I was far too nice in my earlier years. Now I'm intolerant of chaotic and disputatious women and unwilling to hazard what wealth I have and to pay the costs of a relationship.

Being 6’4" places you in the 99th percentile for height, which fundamentally changes the dating dynamic by creating a statistical bottleneck. re-evaluate your height filter to see if a man’s confidence matters more than his physical stature
