Relationship Status - ***mod note first post***

    Hi all,

    I noticed a 5 year old thread that asked people to vote on a poll to see who is single, attached, etc.

    It showed that 62% of people were single, so I was wondering is this still the case, given the emigration and poor economic state of the country.

    Please feel free to vote, would be interesting to know the age and gender profile also. :)

    Mod Note:

    Keep the flirting for PMs or for the appropriate forum. It makes for uncomfortable reading for others.

    Single and looking, 26 year old male :-)

    Im guessing I will probably be in the minority of single under 30's compared to the last poll.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I never vote in public polls without good reason.

    I have no issue with people knowing I'm married btw, just don't vote in public polls on principle.

    The only reason I'm single is because I've a terrible personality and am ugly.

    If it weren't for those two factors I'd be swimmin' in poon.

    Single. Wah. I'm just too weird to ever find someone to love. Woe is me. :pac:

    Can the poll be modified to include 'single, looking and male' and 'single, looking and female' so that the poll data can be put to some use.

    Yours not desperately at all,
    Antar.

    Does "In a Relationship" not cover "Dating", "Engaged" and "Married"?

    Thanks for sharing that with us but can I ask what principle? You answered the question but have some principle that prevents you from answering the same question in a different style question/format? Bipolar???

    Well if somebody were to ask you you would say youre married wouldnt you? not 'in a relationship with my wife'
    And a person who is just in a relationship wouldnt say they are married to their partner.

    Bang on, "Sexy sexy boom boom time" had too many characters for the text box so had to shorten it to 'dating' ;)

    I'm a single Fox. Looking for a vixen with common interests including rooting through bins, chasing rabbits, and working hard at looking fascinating and cute.

    I was going to say I enjoy rooting, etc, but consulting urban dictionary for something to do with rabbits, I came across "rabbit nosing" which is bound to be funnier than anything I could come up with.
    you[sic] put a carrot in a girls[sic] vagina,[sic] and eat it while tickleing[sic] her clit with your nose.

    Sic, indeed...

    Healthy, mind. Almost in a healthy body.

    Indeed, there is another with a similar name, but is female. This forum isn't big enough for two male sock clad vulpines. You would know about it.:mad:

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
