Being Single and Having Hormones...

    .... sometimes sucks. Even though, I am quite inexperienced, I still have needs, desires etc, and being single sometimes does suck. I am not someone who could just sleep with someone for the sake of it, as it would need to be someone I can trust and be vulnerable around.

    I hear ya.

    Maybe it's not what you need to hear but it isnt always singles that experience those frustrations. Levels of needs and desires arent necessarily equal between partners within a marriage or perhaps a relationship.

    I hear that, as different expectations, needs, desires etc. i think cos of the current no action at the moment, I am finding it frustrating.

    I would recommend you try to rid yourself of such inhibitions and believe in yourself more... nothing wrong with having a purely physical encounter or fling with someone whom you're just physically attracted to.

    Have you tried a drop of bromide in your tea ?

    a dalliance with someone you find attractive will not compromise your morals or anything like that. We all have needs and have different ways of fulfilling them whether we are single or attached.

    People in Long distance relationships experience these frustrations too for what its worth...

    And yes it does suck, and no, sextoys don't cut it, very unfulfilling on ones own when it boils down to it to be honest.

    For what it's worth, my hormones have got me into trouble all my adult life :)

    Girls have it easy. When they get hormones they can just pick a guy up at a club and go home with him. It's a hell of a lot harder for a guy-we have to approach the girls, chat them up and try and convince them to go home with us-which isnt a easy task. Any girl can give a guy an eye and bring him home that night

    Sounds like you want a relationship, as one night stands don't suit, but want to be independent! :D

    Now you need to find a man who wants all of the above!

    i agree with the first point that it's slightly harder for men, but some women actually do actually take upon themselves to play the "man" role as you say and it's pretty cool when they do.

    not any girl can give me the eye and take me home.

    1. she's probably looking at my constantly drugged look eyes.
    2. i do have some standards no kerry katona's for me tbh :pac:
    3. also if she's mahogo - as the northside dubliners say - then i don't wanna be caught orange handed :D

    Technically it is true, he said any girl, can pick up A guy, not any guy.

    Therefore, it is true, because of the fact that ANY girl can get me in a second if she wants, I am just not picky.

    Hence the final sentence was true.

    QED

    OP, I agree with you 100% from a male point of view, being single sucks, especially since DIY is never good anymore.

    So, so true.

    stop being so petty


    all i was saying was that ALL girls cant pick up guys at will....even though i accept that it is easier for a hot girl to pull than a guy.

    Sex is only so important when you're not getting any. Fact.

    In the same sense that air only seems important when you're not getting any, though.

    Life without having sex for an extended period of time would be difficult. OP, go out and get a good aul shag for yourself. Just make sure you're safe and everything should be fine.

    Ah yeah, dont get me wrong, I wouldnt be able to go any extended period of time without bumpin uglies either - But when your in a long term relationship your perspective on this topic tends to shift.

    Try and go 4 and a half years without. That's where I'm at at the moment. It's not fun. Oh boo hoo, poor me.
    Ah, I gotta have fate that I'll meet someone. I know I'm awesome, it's just women don't. :rolleyes:

    If you keep up the self belief, someone else will get it. Then you'll get it.
