    Because I have been broken so badly that I need a champion to make it worth trying again, and I don't think they exist.

    Because I am- and the longer I am the more I like it- nobody is in my bed but me- and the thought of sharing- um, no. If I leave a dish, towel, or anything out, I know who did it, it was me. I have been single for about 13 years. Many of those years I was a single mom so not interested anyway- kids moved out about 2 years ago, but now I am set in my ways, and busy as ever with my crazy life- guess it will happen when it does.

    No longer in love with hubby. Decided I can no longer be in a realationship if I don't love him. I am happy no complaints here being single but I only have been single since the end of Aug. I do date so it's kind of fun to be honest with you. I am not lonely at all.

    Maybe that might change in a few years but I am having fun dating.

    I read every single one of these replies. Then I went to bed and showed my husband of 26 years how much I appreciate him!

    I really haven't tried that hard – I was married for 18 years and ball and a pretty poor relationship for about seven years thereafter – ready to get started again – and quite not sure where to start!

    An awful lot of negativity on both sides here (not meaning to make this a battle of the se*es BTW).

    But seeing how many others are as fragile as I am and have been through worse, doesn't make me feel so alone.

    From an outside perspective, most guys are *kitten* that treat women like crap. And some of the hottest woman are with the biggest *kitten* around. It makes no sense.

    Most women only look at the outside features of a guy until they get to know him. When I was out of shape, women wouldn't even give me the time of day or even acknowledge I was even around. My experiences with women have been very shallow.

    I want nothing to do with the glamour girls who think their crap don't stink. I love a woman who is so beautiful and does not even realize it because no one has ever told her. She doesn't need to wear 50 shades of makeup or wear slutty clothes to impress me. They are the down to earth ones that can have a lasting relationship. A pair of sweats and hair up in a pony tail is my style.

    That's lame :) Cute pic of you btw. I am single because I keep jumping into the first man's arms I see and instantly falling for them and then realizing wow, we have nothing in common, he's a jerk who calls me fat and we never last. im too foolish and hopeless I guess :)

    Men(or women if you're a dude reading this)

    Men are like parking spots. The good ones are taken- the rest are handicap! :)

    BTW, whoever would call you fat deserves a good smack in the mouth.

    I am impressed by the thoughful answers in this thread. I think we can all agree that love stinks, but is the only thing worth living for. Take it from an old lady, give the "friend zone" guy in your life some love.

    In reality things are there to be used and people to be loved, but unfortunately these days people love their things,and use people.
    The true love and commitment seems to be the thing of the past,people are happy to just share their beds together and have a separate lives for most of their time.

    Men are confused and emasculated,since some women have come up with the crap of Equality and that they can do it theme selves without a man.
    We aren't equal, by nature we have different roles and purposes and mental and physical make, but we can have equal rights by law.

    Cause meeting attractive girls in this city is hard. Very hard. I'm too shy, unless I'm extremely intoxicated.

    I'm extremely shy when meeting new guys! And it's usually the guys i don't like, like me. I just see them as a friend.

    you are in SF... Girls in SF are looking for Str8 / Bi men who can make them happy it shouldn't be that hard to find one as there is not that much Male competition! unless you were gay then that would be hard too many options and too much competition.

    Cause it's better to be single than to be annoying everyone you know by constantly *****ing about your boyfriend.

    Seriously, though, the opportunity to be in a relationship hasn't presented itself with a person that I actually want to be in a relationship with for a while. I'm happy with my life the way it is; a relationship would just be a perk, so I'm not going to waste time being with someone that doesn't make me happy just so I can say I'm in a relationship.

    This exactly.
    I read the book "He's just not that into you" after my last breakup.
    That was August 2011
    I am still single haha not long for a lot of people but for me it's the longest I've been single since highschool.
    I was with my daughter's father for 3.5years and then a few casual relationships but usually only 6mos in between each with fun flings mixed in there.

    because I'm freshly divorcing, but I've been the single married girl for awhile... good times. During my not so amazing marriage, I realized my self worth was worth way more than I gave myself credit for, so the next guy is going to have to be pretty amazing.

    Can't seem to find an honest, single, hard working man that I am attracted to that wants to be with me as well.

    Because I'm too old and too fat. I can change the fat part, but unfortunately I'll only get older... :frown:

    I know how I ended up single, but I actually don't really know why I am still single. Um....NO. I don't really know.!!

    Confidence is at an all time low. The ones I like seem to give me the run around so it's not helping the cause.
