5 Reasons Why You Guys Are Still Single
Posted Mon, Nov 17, 2008, 1:23 pm PST
http://food.yahoo.com/blog/foxyfestivities/10309/5-reasons-why-you-guys-...
Do you find yourself wondering why most of your buddies have steady dates, yet you can barely secure a first date, let alone a second (and, playing a regular game of Mahjong and Canasta with your grandparents and their friends doesn't count)? Guys, if so, it's time to ask yourself a few Foxy questions...
Do you... have a problem with eye contact? Even if you love everything about this other person, it won't matter, if you can't take your eyes off their body parts. They'll likely think you're out for one thing, or that you're just kind of creepy. Sure, they might be wearing something revealing, but that's no excuse to stare all night long. Get a grip and get comfortable with eye contact, which creates a much better bond.
Do you... eat like a caveman? Utensils are there for a reason -- so you can eat like a gentleman. Shoveling food into your mouth is not something you should subject your date to. Same goes for talking while chewing. Not only is it unpleasant to watch at a time when your job is to be easy on the eyes, it's a red flag that says you're a little short on self-awareness -- an important characteristic in a mate.
Do you... trim your toenails? Not that your date will necessarily see your toenails right away, but when they do end up eyeballing them, unkept toenails are a guaranteed huge turnoff. It means you don't take care of yourself, and valuing yourself is an important part of a healthy relationship. Plus, let's not forget the damage they can do to the other person's leg when you're snuggling up on the sofa watching movies.
Do you... order "everything on the side" at a restaurant? In other words, do you order like a girl? Please don't. Because if your date has to be tortured by, "I'll have the Cobb salad, but no cheese, avocado, or bacon, and dressing on the side, and the pasta, but no oil please, and extra light on the pinenuts," they may be forced to hide under the table or at least wonder what kind of demanding partner you could be. If you have dietary restrictions, do your best, just don't get into what will happen to your belly if you don't follow them.
Do you... assume you're going to strike out? The Secret said it once but we'll say it again: In a lot of ways, you manifest your own destiny. So, if you have lots of thoughts about being unlucky in love, you may be pushing people away in ways you may not even know. If you assume the worst of the world and yourself, spend a few minutes before your date making a mental list of why you're looking for a relationship and why you are an incredible a catch.
Maybe for initial attraction, say at a bar or something, but not in the long run.
Pretty sure looks mean a lot on both sides of the table.
LOL. At the end of the day looks aren't the most important thing, it's how well your personalities match.
Well, IMHO a good British lad is an aquired taste...I for one, couldn't think of anything better, thats why I married one!..........
From what I've heard I don't think Mr.P's unattractive. So maybe its realy not your looks... Maybe its something else...
"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.

does make me sad at times,when i see couples having a laugh, and yer can tell they are in love with each other.

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
MR PAUL said Sucks when yer go out anywhere, and see couples all ...happy and having fun together tho'..."
- Err.. nope. But maybe cos I'm not a man.
Do guys feel this way? I thought only women did ... esp. the young women whose biological clocks were ticking overtime.

Oh wowee.. I leave you people alone for a while and there's 20 replies to read through!
Yeah, what's that bit about "Pretend love without fear"??? - Single guys can sleep around without a fear of been caught as Mr. P said?
"being single allows men to mix freely with women" ..
- err.. being married also allows men to mix freely with women, as long as they know their boundaries.
dragonfly - "demon in closet?" Lol! You mean they're gay?

Been single has both good and bad points,just like been married.
Unless you mean,single guys can sleep around without a fear of been caught ?
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
those above 5 reason are true but not necessary. The reason why men stay single is probably he have his own demon in his closet.
Everybody is right everybody is wrong, it depend where you stand
I think one of the reasons could be the fact that being single allows men to mix freely with women and pretend love without fear. Sallu bhai's formula...
men are single.Which i think are absolute bollards anyway,as i said earlier.
Im just playing the devils advocate,so we can get different ideas on this topic.
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
all in good humour ...a top 5 just for you...
1)Stop hangin' out at the bar and drinkin ....all those nights at the bar didnt help did they? ...
2) dont know what you profession is ..but chicks dig getting an education ..so enrol yourself in some course related to your field and never pass a chance to be at a seminar / conference realted to what you do ..if you dont find a girl at least you gain some knowledge ..
3)find some one in the real world ..virtual world rarely works ..
4)if your place doesnt have like minded people ..be sure to socialize like an animal when you go for home visits .
5)remember having a comapanion is good //but being single aint that bad ..either ..

Nope mate never did us any good at all but we had some awsome times mate,
Mate if its not looks there after maybe its look and money heheheheh but only some mind you but me and you dont have any of the above mate,
Maybe the birds from grimsby and leeds are just pure quailty mate
haha.. don't you just hate it when someone beats you to it?:)
You're so down on yourself!!!
You can't be UNattractive because you would never have been married in the first place!
By choice. I'm wary of catching that dreaded disease - "ONE-gina".
EDIT: ..and then defending it for the rest of my married life why it's a good thing.
TALL - Nope
DARK - Nope
HANDSOME - Erm, none out of 3 isnt bad...........Its worse than bad.
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
TALL - check
DARK - check
HANDSOME - ummm....er....well 2 out of 3 aint bad.

To single people, it always looks like their friends' kids are on the precipice of death.
The problem is I think you’re an overeducated, 27-year-old virgin who holds the hands of superstitious old women and promises them eternity.

over the balcony.Next to me were 3 ladies, and i could quite easily hear them making comments on the guys downstairs, how they were cute,sexy,hot etc.
so please dont tell me that only a few women think this way,cos it seems that most women have this tall,dark and handsome thing in their heads.......

Being a woman i was just trying to help by giving a lady's perspective ...
Ofcourse there must be a top5 list which you may compile nautica for women who are looking to find a companion...
Dont get me wrong Eagle, the Male Bimbo is a sight to behold, as long as he doesnt open his mouth to try and contribute to a conversation.

"looks are only interesting for like 5 minutes,"

I have found something new!
http://www.collegesexadvice.com/suck-dick.shtml
aha! Many women can't take the proper British bloke...unless they are, ofcourse, British...thats why I don't understand the mixed race thing (where Brit men are concerned)..........
Aghhh!!! MIMBOS!!!
No thanks, we real women like our men manly. I would be afraid to ask either of these men to change a lightbulb in fear of chipping their manicures (although Jen Anniston said Brad is a real DIY kind of guy).
I would also have to kill my man if he was pinching my bathroom toiletries.
Mr. Paul, you are a rare type of man... looks are only interesting for like 5 minutes, and I am sure you arent as bad looking as you make yourself out to be. _____________________________________________________
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"
Well said Carebear.
Nauticalnomad, "what the whole male race needs to do is harden up and reverse it all! and go right if you women want me this is what you have to do!"
Maybe some women are more masculine and prefer the chase? Lol! Maybe.. but not all... and then again, some "work like the boss, play like a fox". (What song is that? Heard it on the radio - forgot. Can't google cos my internet connection's unstable)

Hmmmn, still no rush of women to my door :P
---------------------------------------------------------

Why is it always the girls saying you have to do this you have to do that!
what the whole male race needs to do is harden up and reverse it all! and go right if you women want me this is what you have to do!
i think men have let it slip big time! which is the weakness!
1)Network at the right places ..
Library would get you bookish girls,football stadium would get you sporty girls..
2)Behave normally ...be relaxed ...dont be over anything ..
over confident ,over talkative, over creepy..
3)respect your lady and her space....
creeepiness is a no no
4)be honest and trusty.Ladies love committment ...dont fool around with any lady ..if you are serious treat her with the respect otherwise apologise ..NO fooling around!
5)in your free time until you find miss right work on your weaknesses ...if you arent in shape get in shape ,aren't employed get a job ,are a boring person make you self interesting by reading useful literaure.
but the top most ..pray for miss right ...chances are you'll get someone who'll overlook all your shortcomings and love you for what you are...haha
She's soooooo in lurve with the beckham monster.

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
End answer is They just want to be wanted!
I have an excellent memory :-)
I had forgotten about that....

To say that women are most likely to be interested in a DB or Cloony type is like saying that men are only attracted to women who look like... I dunno.. Rhianna or Penelope Cruz. (Well.. ok.. I'm kind of disproving my point here!!)
What I mean is, a good looking person might be good to look at but is almost definitely going to be a complete pain in the arse. And who wants to be with someone who takes longer to preen themselves than we do? We want someone who genuinely loves US, rather than being so preoccupied with themselves that the only role we would ever be permitted to have is one of constantly massaging his erm.. ego.
I don't want to be with someone when I'm constantly looking over my shoulder wondering who else he is sleeping with.
Then again, I'm not the best qualified to answer te question of what women want. I don't know myself! I just know what I don't want... and that I'll know WHO I want when it happens! I just hope he'll want me too...:)
I thought the consensus here on QL was that you're CUTE:

I have a catagory for men like him, and he fits in their right next to Brad Pitt..... hell no, not at all my taste...
Give me the tough rugged, dark haired, dark eyed look anyday....
Posh and Angelina can have them.... well, I'd like Angelina, if I was that way inclined;-)

MR PAUL said "You really believe that,cos i know that ALL of them would go to him,cos hes supposed to be this " big cute celebrity"
Nope. I wouldn't but heyy.. I'm the baby elephant who can't do yoga and that mitsui character called me ugly too. Ah well..I may be fat and ugly but I'm happy with the way I look. I wouldn't rush to DB not because I lack self esteem but because I think "so what?". It could also be that I have a lot of good looking guy friends (here and back home) so I'm a bit spoiled. There were times when some girls were sooo jealous of me because I happened to be hanging out with this very good looking guy. Man, you should hear the catty remarks, etc. And he was nothing more than a friend even. Lol! Silly girls!

MR PAUL said "If we dont get the chance to prove ourselves,we cant show a lady our trueselves."
Yeah? Well some people do get chances but being dopes, they assume they're going to strike out so they manifest their own destiny. Lol! Serves them right, actually. Windows of opportunity never stay open forever.
/But then again, maybe they're not dopes, just not interested so why waste time, right? Right.
//Weekend soon.. time to spark off a couple of scandals! Darn it. My mind's on Cloud 9...
"Let me put it another way. If me and beckham walked into Rydges at the same time,how many women would rush over to him,and how many to me......."
Most would rush to DB but not all. Average looking can be extraordinary - depending on how well we know you.
/Just j/k. It's all a matter of chemistry, not looks as Fran said. If there's no chemistry - men and women will be just friends, maybe even friends with benefits but nothing more.

some of them, and some QLers who are my facebook buddies,
know me and what i look like.
"Most would rush to DB but not all".... You really believe that,cos i know that ALL of them would go to him,cos hes supposed to be this " big cute celebrity"
I'm divorced, but when i tell women that,they throw me a look and run a mile, so now i just say I'm single.Its easier that way.
I dont understand the stigma behind been divorced,I dont have 3 heads or something like that.It just means my marriage didnt work,for whatever reason.
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
The post claims to be 5 reasons why men are still single.I think all these 5 reasons are utter bollox anyway.
Im trying to figure out how women think, mind you, saying that,i think men have been trying to find that out for centuries :P
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
I think Beckham is a bit of a C"ck... he falls into the 'Gorgeous but don't I just know it?' category.
Normal is good. Normal and funny is excellent- so as Alexa says, just be patient.. wanting someone for the sake of simply wanting a partner is a turnoff too.
'Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will allude you..'
I reckon it'll happen. I'm happy to leave long term relationships until I'm old enough to want to stay in my slippers watching the news.... Oh.. whoops..I just remembered what I had planned for tomorrow;)
1. have no money- no money no honey
2. no honey - no person want me
3. am not looking - i believe and only waiting
4. girls are so choosy - they want handsome, cute and with money (i am only handsome and cute, but no money)
5. no time to waste money - courting, dating.. i want a straight marriage.. you want me i want you, then let's get married.
does that leave guys like me ?
If we dont get the chance to prove ourselves,we cant show a lady our trueselves.
Let me put it another way.If me and beckham walked into Rydges at the same time,how many women would rush over to him,and how many to me.......
Take yer time,I'll wait...
Easy really isnt it,cos ALL the women would go to him,cos i would just be another average chap.
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
It's not about looks. It's about chemistry. And btw, there's no bigger turn off than a man who is gorgeous and knows he is.. or, for that matter, one who is downright ugly and thinks he's DB:)
MP, i said it still applies to "some"... :P
on here.

Unfortunately,we all cant be good looking.Some of us have to be the wingman for our goodlooking friends.....

"looks" is not everything.. well, it applies to some at least.....
eaglemmanuel, you're right... ;)
