Living in south FL I can say I'm single for 1 reason. Most woman are whores down here.
I've gone out numerous times with friends & the woman have been all over different guys, all over each other, or hung up on $ & looks. It's damn hard to find a nice woman for a serious relationship that isn't so willing to "hook up" I'm not interested in that these days.
And these woman are woman, late 20's & still acting this way. I know woman in their mid 30's that act like this still.
It might be great & fun to see woman kissing & all into each other, but when you think they are into you, then they go off & do that, or worse go do it to some other guy, that's tough to think "yeah I can see myself in a long relationship with this woman"
I've been to all types of clubs & bars in all areas & it's all the same.
I don't drink so maybe that has a role since I see clearer.

That's OK if you don't want anything serious I suppose...

I'm single because

1) All women are whores except your mother and sister.
(Trust me, being 26 and flirting with a happily married women in her 40's then makes her want to have a secret fling because she's getting attention after 20 years of the same shit)

2) Nobody tells me what to do, when I can do it, who I can do it with.

3) There are too many out there to settle for just one. (Imagine driving the same car the rest of your life)

4) I'm an asshole that lies to get what I want. They don't deserve to be with someone like me if it's a relationship they want.

5) I had a great girl once, I blew it and she's moved on. She's the only one I'd date/marry and the chances of that are slim.

I disagree to an extent. SOME people definitely follow their parents example. I would agree that more than 50% follow their own path, but some really just can't help doing as they were raised. My EX is almost identical to her mother now. We married 25 years ago and she is now her mother - a few years.
I am NOTHING like my parents (well, my Dad died when I was very young) but my mother was very self-destructive and I am pretty much the opposite of that. So you are wrong and right. Some do and some don't.

I sure hope you get over your bitterness soon. You are young. Trust me, they are not all whores...

From experience and observation I agree with Eclipse here. I'm not trying to get into a war with people who don't agree with him, I just wanted to go on record as saying he's right.

first off why is it a crime to be single? everyone thinks oh crap I'm such and such age I need to get serious. Who cares what everyone else is doing? what's the right time for someone could be the wrong time for you.

I laugh when I see people getting married mainly because their friends are doing it. They end up miserable and wish they were single again. It's the most important desicision of your life there's no rush. Date if you want to find someone, but don't be like settling for whatever. Being a little picky is sometimes a good thing.

You assume everyone who wants to be in a serious relationship or get married only wants to do so because everyone else is doing it. What about people who want to settle down and have a committed relationship because it's what feels right to them?

Might sounds harsh, but years from now, you'll agree with me that breaking up this relationship will be one of the best choice you'd ever come across.
Human needs to learn and grow, 9 years ago she might have been a girl who had potentials but now she's just a girl who's out of reach and isn't compatible with you. I say it's better it happened now than another 9 years down the road...

Exactly.

CLsuperhero, the group of people that marry because their friends are doing it is what percentage of all marriages?

Ernie, I think your relationship was over at least 5 years ago. Or, the 17th time you two broke up.

Glad to hear youre finally moving on.

Why I am single:

1) Too afraid of rejection
2) Surrounded by stuck up girls who only date frat-boys

I can understand both of those. But as for #1 you need to get over that. You will always face rejection so get used to it.

Ever thought about joining a frat?

The single reason why I'm single.

All the girls in this state are taken. And if they're not taken, they're hung up on an ex. Never-ending cycle.

Everybody here cheats on everyone anyway. No way in hell I'm getting mixed up in that again.

and how do you expect to find a good one there, or are you just looking for one-night stands and prostitutes?

Sounds just like here. At least Vegas is a lil more exciting.

And I know the topic of this thread, but who said I was going to Vegas for the girls?

The times that I did come up to say hi her mother would be in pajamas shuffling around the house playing with the cats. I swear to god I’d wake up at 3am some nights and just think how I’d be soo miserable if my g/f followed the same path. I noticed that every time my g/f was having bad day or if I was not around she’d go to bed and sleep for a hour. Hmmm, too much sleep….she’s turning into her mother…..

Lesson learned: Daughters and sons will most likely turn into some manifestation of their mother or father. If the parents are dysfunctional, lazy, or raised their kids with shitty values watch out!

My GF is adopted....I'll never know!!!!

hey, you're only 21, you have plenty of time to find a woman, as in the rest of your life. I don't believe in having to find love at a young age. It comes to you when it comes to you, the worst thing you can do is rush it or force it.

What would you have done when you were single from 21-25? Having a gf has pros and cons. Why do you regret it?

I regret it because I didn't get to go on spring breaks with my friends....I had a girlfriend when I was going out when I could first drink....When you're that age you should be able to be free to do what you want! You'll eventually end up married, so you'll have a good 30-40 years to be with someone. I can't tell you how many times I could have hooked up with gorgeous women, but I had a GF from 21-25. I was getting pressured to get married....buy a place...go to college....maintain a social life with my friends....it was just not worth it. After we broke up, I went on the biggest man whore streak ever....I acted how I was supposed to at 21-25 when I was 26-27. I now have a GF at 28 and its better....at 28, the desire to go out party is low. From 21-25.....date around....taste all of the flavors!

Interesting read. Gf broke up w/ me recently. All these words about marriage and kids are on my mind every once in awhile. She was my 1st gf, we were together for 3 yrs....i will wait till June 07 when she graduate and see if her decision is still the same. If it's still the same.....I guess there will be light @ the end of the tunnel. Family do impact how you are as a person. Now I just chill w/ old friends that I lost touch with since I had a gf. Play games and enjoy visiting the forum.

Those dark nights do come every so often though.....But yea, 9 yrs....wow!!
