If we're talking about the perception other people would have of me, yes, I am boring. I do not think that has anything to do with me being single. In fact, I think people in a relationship are the most boring ever. When you're with them, you have to stand for them acting all stupid just because they need to keep that bond on good terms, so they'll say sweet things to their partner, or text them when they're with you, and not be free in general. That goes to the lousy lovers too: They still have to keep some sort of commitment, or at least the appearance of one. It's utterly depressing. It becomes even worse when they have kids, and you know they aren't living to themselves anymore, but for someone else; then they become extremely boring, unless they're lousy parents, in which case they can be fun, but at the same time immoral. When your guy friend can't look at the ass of a girl that walked past you just because he's taken, and will even tell you so, that's really depressing. Like if that girl in your picture (I don't know if it's you) showed up like that, I'd be staring at her and checking out her boobs and all, and while a single friend would say "I'd smash so hard", and I'd go "yeah, totally, bro, me too", my simp taken friend would go completely silent, and if I commented on it too hard, he'd be like: "Oh, you know I'm taken"
I would consider myself an introvert, but I can pretend to be charismatic when I have to. Generally laid back I find that very little upsets me and I have a very good handle on my emotional health. I love comedy, especially revolving around the Comedy Store, I am a big fan of Christopher Titus, Don Barris, Sam Kinison, Danish and O'Neill, and Tommy Morris. I'm a do it yourself kind of person, when I first moved out of the house I was dirt poor and refused to pay people to fix things I could Google, so I have done things from head gasket replacements to electrical wiring code upgrades to firearm barrel fitting. I enjoy a pretty wide variety of music, but generally focus on rock related genres, if I had to name three songs I'd say: While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The live Prince version), Betray and Degrade - Seether, and Black is The Colour of My True Love's Hair covered by The Twilight Singers. As I mentioned before, I enjoy target shooting, some people might call me a gun nut but I have a decent variety of firearms just to keep things challenging for me, I really enjoy handguns and modify what I have to be more fun.
I am single by choice and have had guys wanting to date me (I actually have a guy who would likely be perfect for me wanting to date me right now, but I just can't make myself romantically interested in anyone and feel it would be unfair to him; the last thing I want is to hurt him and I feel that giving it a try despite not feeling anything is what hurt my ex 😭), but I just have no desire. It's like whatever programs a person to crave and desire romance and sex doesn't exist in me.
However, I would say that yes, a lot of people find me boring, especially people my age. I am not into partying/clubbing, drinking, etc. I prefer a nice, quiet life and need a lot of downtime to myself, which means no going out and being around people several nights a week for me. It's okay though, I'm a bit of a loner and an introvert, so I'm happy with this lifestyle.
Oh I know I am boring and have no shame in admitting it to anyone.
I'm a homebody by nature; my daily routine is pretty much as follows: wake up, exercise, go to work (or do chores on the weekend), eat, come home, eat, watch tv or play video games, go to bed... repeat.
Is that boring? To most people, probably so. But I'm past the "wild child, adventurous" stage of my life and I'm quite content leading a simple, boring life.
Now does being boring affect my relationship status? NO. I have just terrible luck with opposite gender when it comes to dating so I don't bother trying anymore.

1.) Depends on the person.
2.) Nope.
There is two different kinds of boredom: boredom because there is nothing new in something and hence you don't find it interesting to investigate about it
and boredom because everything is new in something and you don't find any ground in your mind and life for investigation and hence you become bored because all your attempts on investigation fail.
True me is all boring in the second meaning. Responses to many of my questions here
indicate it. And what I dare to show here is tip of the iceberg lest my English would be incapable of conveying the meaning and lest no one or almost completely no one would want to make efforts to understand or everyone would misunderstand altering the meant meaning in their mind to a more simplistic one.
Complete "mystery" is interesting in the beginning, but when you understand or begin to feel that you have literally nothing in common with something, you don't care about it anymore and let it be. You declare it for boring deliberately in your subconscious then. It's the natural reaction.
Because of that I am one of the most boring people to the most lol 😆 and can be very interesting to some few who just can't believe (subconsciously) there is something they can't comprehend (which is unhealthy, very unhealthy) and (very) interesting to some very very few who can comprehend (and/or think they can which can be very unhealthy again, but is not always) ( comprehend a part or all of it) because they can relate due to their own life experiences and/or similar thinking/perception.
But this situation is exactly how I want it, it's just perfect for my life.
To answer the second part of your question: It could be that if I would have gotten a girlfriend some time in the past I would not have become that different in everything. Would it be for better? I doubt it very much. Life goes it's ways not for nothing, it rarely is mistaken or maybe it never is.
Haha I wouldn't say I'm boring I think women are just crazy when it comes to traveling.
I honestly have no idea why so many women want to travel. Is it to overcompensate for their boring personality? Or maybe they just want to get more followers/likes for their social media? Or maybe it's just to prove something like their successful?
I personally do not travel that much cause I honestly think it's a big waste of money. For me the whole point of vacation is to be relaxed.
When I do make big trips I usually end up feeling exhausted. Cause even when you're vacationing you want to do pretty much everything so you get your money's worth. But you end up feeling like crap when you get back.
And only my female friends would post so many travel photos. It's the same when I was using dating apps. A large amount of women always say they love to travel and would post so many pics of them traveling.
Which to me is a turn off cause unless your job makes you travel that much you're not showing me the real you.
I don't think I'm boring but I only have 41 followers on IG, part of that is also because there are people I just never bothered to add yet. But I'm surprised that the so-called rich, famous, successful, "interesting" people who are married or taken who have hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers are usually the most broken inside as well. I don't look at being single as being boring, sure, we are not perfect and there could be reasons why were single. Maybe its the way we approach live, maybe it's how we treat others, maybe its because we are not talking to people enough to highlight our attributes... Who knows.
All I know is the people who have so much and are in relationships often are not the most happy inside either. Someone seeing you as "boring" is there own perception. Last time I checked, perception should not always have an impact on your own self. It's different if someone says, "straighten up you have to do better in school" that's something I will listen to and change about myself as a student. But if some girl says, omg he's sooo boring because he doesn't have tattoos and doesn't drink... My rebuttal that would be, "im sorry girl that I don't want to live a life of sin to impress you" and throw her the deuces.
I think I'm pretty boring even though I try not to be. I'm pretty shy in real life, I stay home all the time, I'm a virgin, never had a boyfriend, I study a lot, help my mom with chores, I play video games, and that's pretty much it. I would feel less boring if I had a talent in something. I used to be passionate about art but I was never as good as anyone else. So yes, I'm boring because there's not a lot about me that make you think "wow she's different" Other than the fact that I'm half brazilan half American but thats like the worst combination.
I am boring... but i learnt to try to do things which makes me more interesting to give me life experience and skills and things to talk about.

Nah. I can throw a pretty good party. When Iām dating I plan the best dates. Iām single because of my lack of effort in finding a compatible partner. I donāt stay on the market long once I start putting myself out there though. Covid kind of put a damper on things. Itās kind of lame flirting with a mask on. You have to repeat yourself constantly and you lose your rhythm. Iāll adapt though.
The last relationship ended because our sex drives didnāt match. Boredom wasnāt the problem. She couldnāt keep up was the problem. Iāve had a problem with settling for girls who physically excited me and but werenāt mentally and emotionally boring. I made the mistake of staying in these relationships hoping those girls would change and ābecomeā exciting, which is cruel and not effective.
What I need to do this time around is find the woman who checks my boxes right from the start.
I like this question a lot. I do consider myself to be boring in regards to how everyone else lives and the things they like, yeah. It seems like many people have loud lifestyles and enjoy mingling with a lot of people. Me? Not so much. I like a quieter life with fewer people involved. I am an ambivert, who likes social gatherings for a limited time, but also very introverted with people I don't get good vibes from.
Having said that, I am a guy who would be boring for a lot of modern day women, especially young ones. I simply am not interested in a lot of the things they think are cool or interesting. But luckily I've finally found a woman who is on the same page as me and who also doesn't think of herself as very interesting when in fact I find her to be much more interesting than myself. We're crazy about each other.
Sometimes, I LOW KEY do think I am boring... hahahaha. But my friends and random strangers I meet would usually said/think otherwise. I get common compliments such as I am bubbly, everyone likes me, super friendly, easy-going, sweet, witty, funny, caring, and lights up wherever I go in regards to personality. While for lookswise, I usually get super cute, adorable, always look good with whatever I wear, fashionsta, pretty, & beautiful.
I am single because I wrapped my life too much around with work, family, and friends. I do get scared too. Besides those things, I just have a lot of bad luck when it comes to guys or dating. It's also hard to find a genuine connection, good intentions, and compatibility.
I mean I try not to be boring but I almost definitely am. Think about it in terms of a youtube vlog. Like mine would interest almost nobody. I enjoy my life a lot and I do the things I like, but to an outside person it's like "cool, you did classes for a couple hours and watched tv with your roommate and went to work and tried to chase some boy" like nobody would give a shit. I don't lead the type of life where I travel all the time and go skydiving and meet random people in other countries to go cliff jumping with, and I that's because I genuinely don't want to. My life is cool to me but doesn't leave much special to talk about. Also I'm not quite ADHD enough to be a complete chatterbox who's always off on a tangent so that might make my conversations seem pretty boring :/
I think people find me entertaining at first and then quickly get bored of me and move away. I say this because don't have more than a couple of actual friends who stick around through happiness and hardships alike.
Even though I'm an extremely slow trusting person, people befriend me quickly, probably because I'm pretty much a jack of all trades. Fitness, music, metalworking, carpentry etc, you name it I know a thing or two about it. They find my widespread involvement interesting and soon enough once that excitement fizzles out, all that's left is a very boring bald guy underneath. So yeah. Boring
I think I'm boring, but others disagree.
I've started to realize they're right as I get older. Lots of my peers work, go home, watch Netflix, sleep, repeat.
I work, teach/practice karate, am learning how to climb, earning a certificate in robotic process automation development, and run two Dungeons & Dragons games. I also am a former semi-professional drummer.
Not saying I'm "unique", lots of people do what I do as well, but I do a lot of niche things my peer group generally doesn't.
I'm also of the opinion that most people are really interesting.
I do think I'm kinda boring but mostly when I'm uncomfortable I resort to being boring. I can also sometimes be too serious however, neither of these things are the reason why I'm single or so I think. I'm just not interacting with girls at all almost and I'm too drawn back to do it. I used to hate this but I've come to terms with it now and don't feel as desperate as I used to. Because thinking about these things only made me more weird or strange in interactions and now when I don't care as much I can be myself more.
Wouldnāt consider myself boring but the older I get I feel like I already experienced a lot , so there is lesser things that catch my interest , there is still a lot I would like to experience which I am heading in that direction but I do consider myself a content person , I donāt need a lot to make me happy , I use To be very outgoing and always going places and trying new things , which I still do at times but I am more content with the things I worked for or I built , I can sit by a bonfire with a few good craft beers and be happy as a pig in shit , so I appreciate the little things in life the only thing I face now is trying to find a girl that wants to be by my side and value me like I value her , these days it seems itās so far away
1) To some people, probably, but I surround myself with people I connect with, and I surely wouldn't have made such great friendships with them if they found me boring.
2) No. The reason I'm single is because I'm a shy little bitch ass who refuses to confront his shyness. I am irationally scared of intimacy and so I rarely get closer than a figurative arms-length to most people. I don't open up to people that often and I refuse to even hint at people that I'm in any way romantically interested in them.
Nope. In fact, a few friends even detailed that it is because I am not boring which caused them to gravitate towards me in the first place. Which is all fine and dandy, yet getting these same people commit to doing something is next to impossible. I do a lot by myself and it has been this way as far back as my teens. People in general tend to be dull homebodies. Even most women I have been involved with seemed to prefer sticking close to home. Which possibly contributes to my disinterest in dating local/relatively local women. To get away from my own area...
I think that each of us is more or less boring for certain categories of people. For example, for me, people who have a single topic are boring. The monomaniacs of soccer or any other sport, the monomaniacs of a TV series, the monomaniacs of clothing (for example, the first years of university I had two companions who always sat behind me and talked about bras, tights and the like, I I am made a culture in the field that you cannot imagine), etc... I have noticed that I bore anyone who talks about topics in a superficial way, since I am interested in deepening any topic and vice versa I bore people who do not deepen anything.
why im not boring well i have my entire workplace in stiches when i walk around with a plastic box on my head or a long cape made of bubble wrap as i head to where im supposed to put it as a proclaim myself queen or as i basically joke around
How i still have my job I don't know but the boss of the entire company ain't complaining
Im not boring, I take chances, Im not afraid to fight for what I want or need or for others. I consider as many perspectives as possible. I love going out and just doing something, stopping at places I've never been. Checking out abandoned buildings. I want to start legit parkouring. Thing is currently Im stuck in a familia bind. Mom lives her whole life for her parents and grandparents. She doesn't even grasp what being independant is. I try constantly to help the family grow up but I'm still held down by my oldest grandmother anyway who lives with us. I'm just done. Ready to get out. People need help. Hearts are hurting and confused. I hate being here even as things get better within the family.
