    After 115 odd posts and currently in a relationship topping the poll how am I the only one pro-relationships??

    I don't think you are the only one who is pro-relationships. I always suspect there are people who say they're ok with being single but you get the feeling they are just saying that and it's not actually true. I'm not pointing any fingers though.

    I'm defo pro-relationships. I think a lot of the doubts people have here is because they haven't met the right person to be honest. The right person isn't going to nag you or make you do stuff you don't want to do, not all women are like that (or men!)! And when they do meet the right person it's not an effort cos you're mad about them and you want to spend time with them! And it's a great feeling too!

    I'm single and I would hate to be in a relationship. I had boyfriends from 16 until last summer and I'm now officially on strike from guys.
    I got into an intense relationship with a guy when I was in a bad, dark place and he took advantage of my vunerability. Now a year after he broke up with me he's harrassing me and won't leave me alone, he's bad news. I'm don't trust any guys now and the thoughts of being in a relationship again makes my skin crawl.
    I'm single but not interested in guys or dating, I won't be for a long time.

    Single due to the fact i seem to mostly attract the bunny boiler typers and have had enough drama for several life times.

    Still working on a filtering system but i still havent figured out a nice way of saying to a girl

    "Are you sane?"

    previous serious girlfriends left me due to my lethargic attitude. Last one broke up due to long distance issues. God I loved her... f*cking bitch...

    I always tend to look for faults in girls I date before looking for positives. Does this make me shallow, picky, or do I just have high standards?

    I met this girl recently, who I had been attracted to for a little while beforehand. So she gave me her number, we met up, text for a bit, met up again, and then for no real reason I just decided I couldnt be bothered.
    This sort of thing happens alot with me.

    I know, thats only the first test.

    Next comes the questionnaire... then the psychologist taking notes on the first date. "Its ok, you can ignore him. He'll just be taking some notes during dinner"
    While my friends perform background checks on her.

    Yeah it'll be a while before i even think of going anywhere near anyone :)

    I'm a long time single. Wouldn't mind being in a relationship but just haven't met the right person. But at the same time,i'm ok with being single. Also,i think i'm better having my own life sorted 1st before i find someone to share it with.

    The biggest problem with being single is that girls have all the boobs :mad:
    I just wanna play with them, its not like I wanna talk to a woman or anything

    Going out with a girl a while now, we're both young and stupid so you can't know how it will go in the future, but I'm happy with things for now and that's all I realy care about.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Gay dudes are so lucky. They can have real interests in common with their partner. They'll both enjoy going to chick flicks, both enjoy endless hours of clothes shopping, both enjoy interior decorating. And to top it all off they get to shag each others brains out too. Compare that to a straight man who has to endure chick flicks, shopping and interior decorating for just alittle bit of shagging.........maybe.

    Yeah, im single btw! ;)

    Like to play, and don't have to ask.

    Golf?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    By choice at the moment - and genuinely happy this way... but that could change.

    I am single because the other option made me unhappy. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    I've concluded the only reason I'm single is because I'm so insanely hot that guys are too afraid to come near me and I can't bring myself to lower myself to go ask someone. *sigh* beautiful people have it so hard sometimes.

    Folks that are single, why? By choice or because you have met the right person yet?

    It may sound harsh, but from what I've seen mostly, single people are just loosers. The don't look after themselves:

    - Hair can look really good if you want. If there is a will there is a way.
    - Dentist, dentist, dentist. Make sure your teeth are white and your breath is nice and fresh.
    - Skin, pimples, allergies or other skin diseases/conditions - go to the doctor if you need to. It's 21 century.


    They often don't have any style, any intersting personality, any skills, they happen to be boring, sleazy and just have "something" that keeps the opposite sex far, far away. More than likely it's overall sexual unatractiveness and lack of confidence.



    Not all of them obviously, but at least singles I know. All that "I don't mind being single" is in 95% a smoke screen.

    I picked "I'm single and far too stuck in my ways to be in a relationship." but to tell the truth it's probably because I'm ugly.

    From what I've observed, single people like the ones you describe, are in the minority rather than the majority.
