Why are you single?

I can only imagine that you're a charismatic Parisienne. I only wish to teach and be taught. Then let me dream now. A charismatic Parisienne is teaching me about art, freedom, and culture. Meanwhile I tell her all about about my will to power.

Frederick will fight for baby to the bitter end :Dinah:

Because Guys are complete douchebags.

HEY!

Just he? A generation would Fight to the Death for Baby!

'Ils ne passeront pas!'

Because there's no guys in this world who are good for enough me

And because all guys are pigs

Because Guys are complete douchebags.

Most guys are indeed. However rare is the douchebag that is unsuccessful with women.

Because Guys are complete douchebags.

girls are not really better... just more hypocrite and play the victims all the time.

It seems it doesn't matter what sex people are to be jerks. Men tend to be more up front with the douchebag mentality while women (I found) tend to do it more behind peoples back and as you said play the victim about it.

I'm 33 and never been married. Some people think there's something wrong with me because I've never been married at my age. But I think its an old fashioned idea. An old flame told me I'm single because men are intimitated by women who have more money then they do. The guy I'm seeing now tells me that I'm too strong and I'm set in my ways and I don't like to compromise, but I'm learning how to make compromises and I'm trying not to be so bossy and not go off when I get mad. It's so freakin' hard to make a relationship work! <_<

I do not think the issue is age or personality. You simply have not found the person for you yet. You should not have to change who you are to find someone. Trying to be someone you are not is not natural and people always change througout their lives so no matter who you are today you will not be the same tomorrow anyway. There is a man who will like you for who you are and not be intimidated or have trouble with who you are. Apparently its not your time to find him yet. Besides .. nowadays there are a lot more men and women getting married and having kids and all that in their thirties. So the too the old thing is definitely old fashioned.

Thanks hun! I know you are 100% right!

But we need to maintain a population replacement rate of 2.2 or else the next generations won't be large enough to fund social security and fight the next world war! And the artificial insemination thing is so faux pas! eck!

Wait, wait, but I thought the purpose of human existence was to satisfy our fiduciary duty as profligators of the economics of futility and perform as vigorous and aggressive consumers of endless streams of disposable goods and services right? That's what the state seems to imply.. hmmph

We XY types are all monsters.

Because we are wired with the fanatical need to justify our existence..

'As we have no immediate experience of what others feel, we can form no idea of the manner in which they are affected, but by conceiving what we ourselves should feel in the like situation. Though our brother is on the rack, as long as we ourselves are at our ease, our senses will never inform us of what he suffers. They never did, and never can, carry us beyond our own person, and it is by the imagination only that we can form any conception of what are his sensations.'

But that requires creativity and thinking! A certain native or trained (through more aggressive concentration of a certain muscle) biological concoction! Not just instant reliance on that forsaken lizard brain!

I find it funny that people who aren't married are explaining things, yes I believe in being true to oneself, but marriage is give and take, yes it would be nice being with ones "soulmate" or the "perfect" person, but ive found 9 times out of 10 that person doesn't exsist, and if they do there unavailable. The is nothing wrong with waiting for perfect person, but again once finding that person, that doesn't mean compromises wont be made on either side, my parents were "soulmates" and I can remember both having ups and downs, and like I said, when with someone, its sometimes NOT all about YOU, real happinesss compromise hard work and loving each other for the good and the bad, as well as being able to adjust how one is, because the other partner is probably adjusting as well.

Please note above statement is for any sort of relationship, not just marriage

Absolutely true! And I'm just now figuring all this out. A real relationship is so much hard work.

being with the same woman for the past twelve years, and 5 of which are as a married couple, with it's share of ups and downs, i agree. there is so much compromise and pride swallowing that goes on for both sides to make it work. it is probably one of the ahrdest things we do as individuals, give up a part of that individuality to be with the one we love. Things might not always be perfect and smooth, but when you really and truly love the person you are with, it is well worth the sacrifice.

We need to get that 2.2 to work at a slower genration rate, keeping the population rate is not going to give us more money for the socail security,its going to take more of it as the generations seem to get lazier. pretty soon the population is going to be sooo large we are going to have to live on the moon or something so none of the financial stuff will matter anyway because all the rich people (who would claim the largest amount of social security) will be on the moon when the oxygen system fails. Finacial problem solved LOL

BUT as for human eistence ... to let you know our infertiltity rate seems to be getting larger than our population rate. If that continues it won't matter how old people have children, married or not. and .. awwww darn... all those comsumer markets are really going to get a kick when the disposable goods are the only thing left.. right?

I think some of the "optimistic " views I have might be why I am still single.

I agree there is compromise.. but there are so many levels of compromise to personalities. The most important is to not have to change to be happy with someone. It fake and eventually someone's real personality comes out anyway.

There are give and take and some people give more than the other might .. is that unfair? Maybe not in the eyes of the person who gives in love. It is never supposed to be about making yourself happy with those personalities. To make it through ups and downs is all about choice. If someone chooses to make it through it won't matter who has to compromise or who doesn't. Somethings people have to accept or move on and it is all about choice.

None of this is right, wrong, what will work or what won't, its all about personalities and when someone finds that one person who can understand them, work with them, choose to be with them no matter what or just plain can gets them. And vice versa.. Compromise only has the level of give and take both people choose to handle. I have seen very good relationships that one person does not compromise well but completely adores the other person.. and for that its enough for the other person to compromise simply because the personalities work together and they choose to make it through the ups and downs and to love each other. Its not about compromise, its about choice.

BTW .. it doesnt take soemone to be married or in a relationship with a mate to understand relationships. A best friend can be so much more difficult to handle than a relationship with a spouse or mate. But that will start a whol other subject.. SOOO...
