Why are YOU single?

I agree with you, but i find that it mostly applies now that i live down in london where girls seem to be tools.

Well neither I, nor my last 3 long-term gfs are inherently Londoners.

I grew up in SA, 1st gf grew up in Malvern, 2nd Colchester (lol) and 3rd in Devon. 3rd was also engaged to me once upon a time, and is still currently one of my best friends.

Moving to London doesn't instantly change a person, as my best friend back in SA testified to, as even though I moved here 6 years ago, she said I haven't changed one bit :)

Utter garbage.

Women like interesting men. Most people who describe themselves as 'nice' are actually boring. Doesn't matter how nice you are if you're not exciting.

Nice guys don't finish last, boring ones do.

This is true. I once dated an absolutely stunning guy, he really was model material, he had a cool job, nice car, real gentleman etc. etc. But my god he was the dullest guy I have ever met!! He lasted about 3 dates...

perhaps you don't give in to peer group pressure as easily as a lot of people. The only girls i have gone out with and liked all grew up else where and moved to london for work.

Yup.

I dated the nicest girl on the planet for a while. Had absolutely everything going for her. Was really pretty, she had her own art studio and salaried work but got commissions on the side. Owned a big house, stupidly friendly and really understanding. Would have been me setup for life, if she wasn't so God damn boring. :/

I can envisage the person I eventually end up with. Utter mentalist. She'll be moody, annoying a lot of the time, complete pain in the backside. But she'll be fun, and I'll convince myself it's worth it. :p

I spent 2 years with someone who was a complete pain in the backside, and never found it 'exciting'. It drained me of positivity trying to second guess what insignificant thing would set her off next, lol!

Nice might be a usual euphemism for 'boring', but I often use it to describe someone who is decent/good/fun/a laugh. Someone you'd want to spend time with and are happy to have around. Probably just my own interpretation of the word not tying up with everyone else's, doh!

I don't want boring either, going on drunken/sleep deprived 'adventures' is on of my favourite pastimes, along with brain-tennis and generally peeing oneself with laughter.

The biggest problem I am having is finding someone with a comparable sense of humour who is attractive, positive, single, and doesn't hate dance music.

Meh!
 
I didn't mean someone who was just getting ultra moody about minor things. I meant unpredictable.

It's hard to explain, but some of the most exciting people I've met have been completely unhinged.

I should really update my gallery photo. :p

I might be nice but i think i am interesting.

I don't have the most normal of upbringing (2 countries, immigrated when i was 11), I have hobbies, I have lots of friends, I have my opinions on various things, i can be truthful to the point of brutal. I know I am not the perfect guy, i do have faults. I've been told that i am abrasive (because i say things quite dry and to the point sometimes), I don't have a car :p, I am not loaded (far from it, in fact i am in quite a lot of debt). I suppose I need "the edge", but how does one find the edge? It's not me if i fake it, and i don't want to fake it.
 
I've got no problem speaking to girls, I've became close to a few people in the past, and one currently.. just don't have the minerals to approach her and ask...

Plus, I stutter a lot.. which is off putting.. only do it around certain people.. What a sap.
 
All you single women, you can message me... if you like.











I hope someone else remembers what I'm referencing :p I've probably got the quote horribly wrong though.
 
Don't know but I'm not really worried about it.

Just graduated from Uni, got my first job in a new town. I spend the weekends with my mates doing interesting and exciting things. If girls turn up in the mix then great (like they did over Christmas) but if not then no worries.

I think the most limiting thing for me is - all the girls I know are back in Cornwall and I'm in Southampton. When I do go home I'm staying with my parents and my room is next door to theirs - makes it a bit difficult to take girls back to mine.

The way I'm looking at it is: I'm only 22, I'm having fun at the moment and getting out on my own for the first time. I'll worry about that first before trying to complicate it further. :p

Awesome, does that mean because I'm unattractive and don't have an exciting job I'm in with a chance :p?

But you're not single, you're with Sharon!

I had "girlfriends" in primary school, but no actual girlfriend until 1st year of college. Then after that, I got lots of attention from all the wrong girls who I wasn't interested in. One came along in my first year of uni who I stayed with for 5 years, but lost that spark with, so split up with her.

I was then single for 6 months, but for those 6 months, I knew who I wanted to go out with. So I bided by time, asked her out and we've been together for 8 months now, and live together. :)

I was originally single due to lack of choice!
 
Not all of us like interesting or exciting :p

A "boring" girl would be ideal for me, no complications, don't have to worry about "impressing" her, would suit me down to the ground

I like an easy life, no stress, no complications, go with the flow, any resistance and I can't be arsed.
