This.

I'm skinny and look like the features have been shotgunned onto my face rather than sculptured yet if I wasn't married I'd be spoilt for choice. I have women eating out the the palm of my hand.

Nothing to do with looks or build but all about confidence if you ask me.
 
I'd like to say through choice .... but in actual fact it's more due to being extremely shy, almost to phobic levels. This is not helped by having moved quite a way from family and friends a few years ago and whilst I get on ok with my new work colleagues I don't have any social life outside work.

I don't like clubs and my hearing isn't good enough to keep up with a conversation in a crowded bar. I don't like the concept of one night stands. Most of the women I've known immediately consider me a friend who is amusing rather than boyfriend material.

I'm not any more, however... I'm beginning to wish I was, she has yet to pay for ANYTHING in the last 4 or so weeks we've been together and I'm getting pretty tired of picking her up too when she has a perfectly good , road legal car.

/rant. :D

Tell her then, if you let her treat you like a doormat, shes gonna keep on doing it. Sorry but its as simple as that :)
 
Been happily in a relationship for 3 years :)

To be honest I've never actively sought out a girlfriend but I have rarely been single.

So my advice is to stop trying so hard :)

Edit: Oh, and getting out more helps.

Trust me... if you weren't married half that interest would evaporate instantly :S for some reason a married/seriously involved guy drives women wild.

The guy's probably a good catch rather than a dud if he's in a long-term relationship. It's like women at festivals who wait for other women to leave a toilet cubicle - saves them trouble.
 
I am single because I get in a mood when I am tired. I swear at them. They don't like it, and get upset.

I have literally taken girls away for surprise trips to New York then 48 hours later used the "c" word on them and all sorts, just 'cos I'm tired and want to go to bed. It doesn't compute even though I warn them what I'm like when we first get together.

Totally my problem but like, it's a part of me and I did meet 1-2 girls who just knew to leave me alone rather than take the bait when I'm basically being a total d***.

Never said he is a dud... just women seem to find it a major turn on - leave a relationship and they are much less interested.
 
Single mostly because to be fair I don't put the effort in at the moment, I live like a hermit and my life is my project at the moment, but that isn't likely to change in the near future as I am going to Saudi Arabia and us men folk aren't allowed in women's houses :(

I don't particularly enjoy 'going out' to clubs, pubs and bars, so don't meet any new girls there. Because I'm too nice, and tend to 'friend zone' any girl I meet anyway, which doesn't really help. Plus, I'm not particularly good a small talk.

Don't worry about it. Thats me - can't be bothered to go clubbing (Though did throughout uni because my friends all did) and end up in the friend zone with everyone I ever meet. I'm every girl I meets friend.

Except 3 years ago I met a great girl at work and it was suddenly different and I've not been single since. It just happens randomly, so chill out and stop worrying about being you. One day a girl will find you and decide she really rathers like you.
 
Me, well shy, quiet, not really that bothered or I guess I would do something about it; something productive like make an effort, lol. Haven't been on the scene for a while now and think there are (at least for me) other things to life than mortgage, sex, kids and money though we are living in a material world and they do have their place to some degree. When the right lady turns up and if its the right time then fine. I am fairly single minded though and when you've been single for quite a while like I have you get perfectly comfortable with your own company, not that it has ever been an issue anyway. I rarely get lonely. I have a good family and friends and working life so things are fine. I think most, not all, but quite a few ladies prefer the man to make the move and that's something I never do so I guess people must have thought I am not interested. I can always find a reason not to ask a lady out though, ooo commitment...something that doesn't come naturally for this Sagittarian;)
