Do you believe there’s plenty of fish out there for you? Why/why not?

Question

Asksomeonelse · Accepted Answer

Excluding places where I would need a license to fish and presuming I've already prepared the line along with the bait- yeah, I guess? But why examine the bopping of the tip and the struggle of reeling in the fish when I can just simply go to the supermarket? Besides, after I've caught the fish not only do I have to then descale it, but I'll always have to remove the guts and let me tell you. That's some nasty stuff. So I'd rather purchase fish in the market as oppose to just fishing for them myself. At least I won't have to deal with the unholy abomination that is the scent of their gills and inner organs. Those things reek. And of course I think there's plenty of fish out there for me. I have wildlife preservationists along with hunters to thank for that that is unless we're talking about one of those endangered types of fish in which case I hope their population stabalizes to a more secure number that way I can feast on them as well without worrying that their population will become unsustainable.

Not sure. Maybe I should try these waters. Or maybe I'm fishing in the wrong lake? Lol

I do believe that there are so many fish in the sea and If I didn't get a chance with one of them I will have a chance with another and life goes on. or maybe it's just not the right time. I can write a whole book about the reasons that make me believe that life DOES NOT wait for anyone and it is way too short to waste your time trying to be on good terms with someone you genuinely don't get along with. It's very simple. if it's complicated to you, then you're letting your negative, illogical side take control of where your life is going.

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Of course there are plenty of fish out there!

... but that doesn't mean I want to catch them, or they're worth going after.

Yeah, it's not that bad staying single- at least until I catch myself a mermaid/merman, lol

Do you believe there’s plenty of fish out there for you? Why/why not?

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Of course!

coachTanthony · Answer

Yes. If you are confident and not a pussy you'll do just fine if you're a dude. Anyone who says different needs to work on themselves a bit more.

ohsheeT · Answer

I mean to be honest with you I like beef I like cow I mean I'm sure the ocean is filled with all types of fish but even that's getting polluted nowadays but yeah of course there's plenty of fish out there there's plenty of cows there's plenty of beef there's plenty of anything that we want to appoint but it's slim Dickens pretty soon because our government is starting to take food away from us that's another story though all joking aside yes if you really think about it the world is very big place and we are just in our own little circle so we only think like a little circle instead of Open Your Arms Wide Open and thinking that way we put our finger first finger and our thumb together about an inch apart and we think that's the biggest the world that we live in but open your arms all the way wide and feel that energy touching feel it within that's the world we live in there's a lot more fish if you do that

genericname85 · Answer

no there's not. if you suptract everyone that is outside of your age range, everyone you're not physically attractive and everyone who is out of reach, cause traveling so far to date would be pointless, there's maybe a hand full left. and then all your personal preferences come into play and reduce it even further. it's not as many as you think.

i don't know where i got this figure from but someone actually went through and calculated this for the average person in an average size city with average ammount of rural areas around, then it comes out to about 7. this could be complete bullshit. i don't remember exactly but the calculation seemed convincing to me then.

melanieeeB · Answer

Yeah there is plenty of fish, but there is also a lot of fucking trash in the ocean too! Some trash might look like a fish at first but it's not what it seems. Gotta be cautious all the time.

And I'm attracted the more rare fish, who is not the typical average blubbering blub lol

JSmuve · Answer

Hard to say. Yes there's a lot of fish, but

1) the ocean is huge and isn't always populated by fish in every spot

2) if you have a specific type of fish you want, then that decreases your odds of catching it and not some random fish you don't want

3) you can't easily know where the best place to fish for the type of fish you want is

4) the fish are always moving around

5) the fish don't necessarily want to be caught by you

6) there are other people fishing that you have to compete with

Lionman95 · Answer

Technically yes but everybody has their own expectations and standards plus the moment of meeting needs to be the right one. That way the number of options gets heavily reduced.

So sure there are plenty of women for me to date but because of my precondition the number gets strongly reduced so that it goes down to a really small number.

purplepoppy · Answer

Sure, just got to lower your expectations

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes and there's more when you decide to change or address underlying stuff that is controlling or limiting. Doors open and doors close as you open your heart and mind.

there's 8 billion... emotionally complex... salmon... all looking for "home".

MrOracle · Answer

There are plenty of fish if all I'm looking for is sex - the seas are abundant.

As far as women who are worthy of commitment, those are in very short supply, and I don't possess the kind of bait that attracts them - nor does the majority of men. And the men who do possess the right kind of bait to attract them are only interested in keeping them around for a few days before they throw them back, with ever more damage, into the sea.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Oh, yeah.

I meet a lot of people I click with, and have a lot of people who find me attractive. I'm just not in the right space mentally or emotionally to get into a new relationship right now.

I have a fairly easy time making new connections and new friends. I'm sure once I put my mind and effort into looking for a girlfriend or partner, I'll find her/them.

Cannibisluver96 · Answer

No, I’ve tried dating apps and even in the real world I’ve had several men ask me out and I’ve gone on dates with some of them but I have certain goals and ambitions for my future and they don’t align with the people I’ve met so far. I’m very traditional and I want to be a stay at home mom and take care of the house and children. I live on my parents farm and I get a portion of it and I want to use it to start my own farm too. The men I meet are never ambitious and if they are they want to live somewhere far in the city.

RangerBlue22 · Answer

My mother used to say this crap to me all the time and she was born a very beautiful woman.

Anyway the love of my life is out there. But I haven’t found her. I did meet someone 8 years ago who was close. But she meet me at the wrong time which sucks but I will just have to deal with it.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

For a casual relationship? Sure!!

For a more serious kind of one? Only a handful. Not that many.

Although I would say that our world is really small, and we only choose from our surroundings, even when there is someone perfect for you out there somewhere, and you would not even know it!

BrickBiggems · Answer

In a metaphorical sense yes. BUT, to be truly successful you need a boat, net and fishing gear. Most women like to go boating so proper fishing equipment can't hurt your odds.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Salmon is my favorite fish no matter how we see things there is someone for everyone no matter who we are

JDAC092299 · Answer

No not for me, people I connect with are far and few in between and yet so far even the ones I’ve found have disappointed me by betraying me in more ways than one, I hate my type that I’m attracted to and if I find another I might even give them a miss because the emotional pain and time lost just isn’t worth it and I don’t think I could bounce back again tbh

ChiTown33 · Answer

I don't think in those terms. I know who I am and I know my value. And either she wants to give equally. If not I'm fine to remain single. As I've said before I believe most women want a relationship. But not every woman wants to actually put in the work for a relationship. And I'm not going to presume how many women that is.

slatyb · Answer

At my age? I do, as single women start to outnumber single men. I'm financially stable, at a healthy weight, have all my hair, and I'm easy to get along with. I'm also happily married.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I feel like this is a "gotcha" question.

Because if I say, "Yes. I still have plenty of options. Because I'm a man and I'm a good person so there will always be women who want me," then you all will think I'm conceited.

But if I say, "Well, honestly, I recognize that my pool of options is shrinking and my window is closing,"
then I will get labeled as "desperate."

So I can't win either way.

MCheetah · Answer

I already know there factually isn't and that women aren't that "open minded" when it comes to men like me. They literally do not exist (anymore). ... Unless you're literally talking about fish, here.

Bexxiib · Answer

Yes I did believe there are plenty of fish in the sea out for for me, but my favourite aren’t fish, and are never available and that’s a dolphin and a whale ☹️😫😩

Cecinene · Answer

I really love Salmon fish It's so delicious and nutritious

RavVid · Answer

Well despite there being many unattached I think the net burden of evidence is, whilst they might be of my gender preference, the number I could form a worthwhile relationship with is a very small number of them.

sheenagwapa · Answer

nobecause i think i'm very much replaceable. but i believe in Jesus so i lnow he will send someone who can appreciate me and would be willing to stick with me. but right now i'm still working on myself

Dinklex3 · Answer

I believe there's plenty of fish, but for me specifically? Nah. I'm pretty picky. There might be total of 3 guys (just made up that number) for me that I really connect with 🤔

NathanDavis · Answer

never been an issue for me... mostly because I don't need plenty of one interested on me either, I just need one... lol

rosemilk · Answer

i'm sure there is, it's a big world, but this very specific fish is the only one i feel most comfortable around and one that feels like home. i don't see myself with anyone else.

Andres77 · Answer

Once I stopped wasting my energy on other fishy people I also am angling for a very special breed of salmon.

ZXCwWRQWz · Answer

Too much fish. Luckily my girl got a monogamist that got too tired of fishing. But don't think for a moment I can find a new fish as good or better for her.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Only fish I can fuck and fuck alone. Most of the women out there that have any actual relationship material are taken... and relationship material also requires I'd want to fuck them.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

Yeah sure but I’m not really into a lot of people coming in and going at this point of my life. I’ll entertain it now but eventually I’ll prefer to go back to one person only

DizzyDesii · Answer

I believe there's plenty of options but very few who we could “work” with. So yea if things dont work with one, i have no doubt that there will soon be another

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

No. Women have changed. They don’t value what i bring to the table. So there are no fish in the sea for me. Which is ironic because i don’t really like fish, for food. Ell oh ell!

tony_baloney · Answer

I do, yes, but unfortunately my type can be pretty hard to find because they're usually at home watching anime all day lmfao

rienna888 · Answer

No man it’s really hard to find someone. You have to both be attracted and love eachother. Although you love each other, your personality might clash and fight all the time.

loveslongnails · Answer

It's absolutely true. Just because a person gets fixated on someone else doesn't mean that person is "all there is or can ever be". There's a whole world of people you haven't met, and won't, if you fixate on someone, especially someone you can't have.

Pudsmucker · Answer

There are already opportunities to have a great catch. Just because you like salmon you may like trout also. You may need to look around. Sometimes the one that you want is not what you truly need.

Tztop2006 · Answer

9 billion humans, 51/49 split of women/men then subtract all minors. That's a love of people to have a relationship with especially if your bi, but of course who can travel the world to find a "soulmate"

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Perhaps, but I always find myself in the wrong pond. And the website is a scam.

exitseven · Answer

I imagine that I was an acquired taste so there were not too many women who would put up with me.

JenniferBiArizona · Answer

Yes, but a not are not even worth trying for. Most apps for dating have turned into hookups. I don’t go it really and can’t go to a bar to meet people, because I am only 19

bigpauly · Answer

Well, it helps when you have a giant rod like mine… fishing rod of course 😏😂

nawtee_me · Answer

I think so but I am not looking for plenty, one will do...

qwert1234 · Answer

There's plenty of fish.. for everyone. It's a free-for-all out there. No one is reserved to anyone.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

There’s plenty of fish yes but those fish have too many barriers they create to starting a relationship

OlderThanILook · Answer

Not really. It takes a very niche set of tastes to want me lol

spartan55 · Answer

Probably, but they all seem to be hiding in some pond somewhere.

Likes2drive · Answer

There is you just need to use the right bait, usually the good fish are already taken and there’s no more fish in that lake and you have to try a better spot

HighValue · Answer

No because most of them are not desirable or acceptable as a mate.

Sixgunsound · Answer

I think I could find someone if I had to. But I don’t.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I believe because I don't think a cute guy who's also sweet is rare at all.

Avicenna · Answer

Oh, definitely. Most of them are probably overseas though!

Jenny-Marie · Answer

I've been alone for 25 or so years out of the last 30. I put my rod away about 8 years ago and have no intention of casting it again. For me, the pain isn't worth the pleasure unless there is a lady with the innocence of an 8-year-old, the figure of a 21-year-old and the maturity of a 50-year-old. A mix as common as hen's teeth.

macjets007 · Answer

Yes. Anyone who's good looking, has a nice personality, has a solid job, and is emotionally mature has endless options :)

JesseJayNeak · Answer

No. At this point, fuck it. I’ll focus on my career and education

Lakeshow12 · Answer

Yes I do believe in it meaning you have unlimited OPTIONS to choose from if one person doesn’t work out or simply didn’t reciprocate back you can easily move onto the next person it is a numbers game at the end of the day

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Apparently not or I would've caught se3veral dozen, by now!!

Light909090 · Answer

Yeah I’ve caught many Catfish there not going Extinct any time soon 🔜

Staximus · Answer

You go out and find the right person, they aren't just going to fall into your lap. The illness ready to do that is too meet more people
