What about you keeps you from finding someone to share life with?

Question

AzzaBlue · Accepted Answer

Standards. There are in women in my country Australia who are nothing more than immature overgrown children to refuse to be responsible. They are the types of women that have an extremely long list of requirements in order to qualify as a "real man." But the reality is that these women are overcompensating for their own inadequacies. Example they want a man to lead and to take the majority (if not all) of the burden of responsibilities in a relationship because they are lazy and apathetic. And I refuse to give these overgrown children any of my time. I am NOT saying that all women are like this, but a good number are. I don't think that I ask for much in a partner, except that she is responsible and willing to put a fair amount mental AND physical effort in a relationship.

As far as a partner/relationship goes...

1. I'm lacking ego/excessive self-pride (the most important thing women want in men).

2. I'm short (too short for all the women I'd want to be with; possibly "okayish" height for extremely short women though, like 5'2").

3. I'm insecure with my entire physical appearance (because...)

4. I'm physically unattractive.

5. I'm not rich/wealthy.

6. I'm overweight/chubby, and most women don't want that.

7. I've been burned too many times in the past, and don't want to deal with the negativity of the dating world right now in life.

8. I won't settle for feminists and other awful, abusive women. I only want a QUALITY partner, not a man-hating harpie or Amber Heard type.

My need for unconditional love or at least be there for me at my worst : when I'm sick, gloomy, cranky and angry. I need a strong man who can be my rock. I will give the same in return. Also I am the kind of person who sees a relationship as a commitment, not as an amusement park where I get bored after enjoying all rides and attractions.
Unfortunately I tend to attract 'cool', emotionally detached or practical type of guys because on my normal days, I'm cheerful like a sun, friendly, understanding, kind, good at tasks and ambitious.

My anxiety. I can’t keep an ongoing conversation with other guys recently, and if they like me I run away.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Nothing. I have been dating my current girlfriend since December and I think she is The One

RawIronhide · Answer

I think I expect too much from people, no surprise I expect too much out of myself as well. I think some part of me is still looking for the ideal partner another part of me is angry at myself for never making it work with people I could have tried harder with. But at the same time I think if it was ment to be it would've already happened. So many variables, it escapes my grasp of understanding.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Almost everything I enjoy for hobbies is isolating in the sense that they are done at home, and I want a girlfriend who shares those hobbies, and as a result, she is going to be equally isolated. So its an issue of how to get 2 shut-ins to meet. Some would say the internet, but so far, no luck.

N192K001 · Answer

• yet-unattained financial & career goals
• lack of encountered women with detectable feasibility for a stable shared-life together
• hesitation from recent experiences trying to rehabilitate devastated older-sister whose marriage collapsed after 15years together
• struggles of trying to maintain a conversation without either hijacking/dominating it or just witnessing it die in front of me
• ethical considerations due to a yet-current medical-condition

Forlorn011 · Answer

People are snakes. Overall. They'll cuddle up to you when they need warmth. But at anytime SNAP, you are bit.

Be sure you know your snake well.

And yes I understand the obvious. I know this snake better than anybody. Anyone except God I guess you could say

Anonymous · Answer

daddy issues? fear of being alone? abandonment issues? it's made dating hard. With someone now by pure luck, but we don't want the same things so it's going to end eventually. After that I think I'll just focus on work, hopefully get a dog, make more friends, travel, and get a sex toy or two to get myself off.

Siren777 · Answer

To be frank. I don't make the time for it. My time is spent mostly on work. If ai made time for it then I could be with someone. This is a poor excuse, I know.

Trust issues. I've been double-crossed and lied to too many times. I never know if the next words that come out of someone mouth is gonna be the truth or just what they think I wanna hear.

blondfrog · Answer

I like how all the women on here are saying its their choice and acting like they are the prize possession. Man get the fuck out of here lol. Especially most the women on here who are complete trashy human beings or at least act like it on GAG. Most of the women on here are complete losers who are damaged goods and had many failed relationships.

Saville_Row · Answer

Honestly? It takes a lot to get under my skin. I recognize when a person is genuine vs someone who wants to butter you up in order to sleep with you. And I run away from these last guys (which are a big majority), fast.

friendzoned4life · Answer

The fact I don't follow the herd.

Don't let anyone tell me what to think or to do.

Everytime I care for someone on an higher level they don't care for me at all or only take they care for a few months or if they actually care it is on a friendship level

Anonymous · Answer

Early rejection. Women made it pretty clear early on they had no interest in me. So after trying repeatedly for many years. I just threw in the towel.
Now older I have no interest in asking women out. What could they possibly do for me? But they're welcome to ask me out.
Now it's me rejecting women with obscure reasons. Letting them down easy.

JackofSpades · Answer

Somewhere between fear of intimacy, fear of talking to women or just the fact that I have a bad habit of hating myself and believing I'm not worthy of love.

Someone has to remain single. Since I ceased giving a damn, it is better that single individual be me.
