So...how many of us are...single (me)

[DubWolf 18,528]

I'm single and always have been. I think some people are just meant to be alone.

Woops, didn't meant to brohoof that comment; I'm on mobile and the screen jumped back down so I clicked the wrong place.

 

Ditto what Stars said :-p.

[n0body555 334]

I'm single. I'm pretty content with everything though. 

 

I've seen some girls here and there, nothing really on going though.

[Discordian 6,020]

But, truly there is always someone out there for everybody.

Technically everyone is a potential candidate. It's not just ONE person ever. It's perfectly reasonable to believe you can find a person who you'll be happy with, even that fits you perfectly, but to say that there is someone out there for everyone is fairytale nonsense. Sometimes there is literally just no one we would want to put the time and effort into being with but that's not as much the other person as it is yourself that makes that restriction.

[Prospekt 11,035]

I've been single my whole life... just never found somebody "right." I've actually been asked out once before (like 2 years ago!) but I turned them down. They were going down a bad path that I did not want to go down if I had said yes.

Single because I'm a introverted idiot who doesn't leave his room. Never dated anyone and I don't reckon I will for quite some time. Then again I'm going to college soon so...    

 

I'm going to college soon too so maybe I'll step out a little more and try to date someone.

[Light of Night 332]

Intentionally single.  I had been asked before, but it was either by guys who were just out to embarrass me or by a friend of mine who I view as a little sister.  I've got bigger things to worry about anyways.

 

@@Sonic Shimmer,

 

I advise you don't put belief in absolutes.  There are many people who are "meant" to be something, but they go and subvert that so-called fact anyways.

so i'm a pretty good looking 25 yr old male (apparently 7-10 by some pretty hot girls..) but oddly enough i've been single for all of it, and also apparently ignored by most of the female population with no explanation why. and no i'm not a hermit lol i'm very outgoing, *a little shy* very respectable, kind hearted, *honestly maybe to big for my own good* have a job etc.

 

and i know i'm not doing anything wrong or do i have to be a *clears throat* a bucking flankhole! like what most of what movies and reality tell us...i think not.

 

i'm like you, respectful and kind hearted. ive been single nearly my whole life too but just got into a relationship 4 months ago.

[Valiant 2.0 65]

Been single all my life (21 years) and I'm absolutely loving it.

 

Yep. Loving it. Got all the time in the world...to do...stuff. And things.

 

Yes, sir...no regrets here...

 

...

 

*sniffs*

 

I'M SO ALONE.

 

 

(Seriously though, single life has had some pros and cons)

[IsraelYabuki 449]

I've been single my whole life, but you don't see me complaining. I've got some things I've got to do before I even consider finding myself a girlfriend (or a future wife). First, I've got to get my stuff ready for college and I also have to make an appointment for Mount Valley Regional Center to see if I qualify for a job. If I qualify, I can get some special job training. If all goes well, I'll consider looking for a beautiful woman.

[SomeMLP Brony 41]

I've never dated anyone either, though most of the people around where I live were just either too dramatic or too crazy anyways, so meh.

[cwhip9 1,078]

being single has helped yet like everypony else some pony to be with would be helpful, so im on the fence honestly...being broke generly dosent help me but ethier way I do hope something happes being a 21 year old and all

[IsraelYabuki 449]

Being single is where it's at. All the time in the world (when you aren't working ) and lots of spare money to boot.

Not when there's bills to pay and food to buy

[Discordian 6,020]

That just means you don't work at a good enough job for your lifestyle or have more bills than you need.

[IsraelYabuki 449]

lol that's true. With what I make in a month, it's just chump change

Single because most girls view me as a fuckboy anyway 

Girls don't see much potential in me.

[Discordian 6,020]

Same here, my friend. I still live with my mom because I don't make the money to live on my own and I'm avoiding the roommate situation at all costs.

 

Also, if girls don't see potential in you it could be because you haven't put in the work to be a potential. Dating, casual and otherwise, is a game and you gotta learn it to play it unless you're content with waiting and hoping you get lucky.

I moved in with my grandparents a couple of years ago. Since then I've been helping them out by mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, and buying food for the house, and so far, I've just gotten use to this lifestyle, even though I'm 21 years old

no. No you don't.

Don't be a jerk. Trust me, us ladies do not appreciate it. Dear fellas, do not be a jerk to women. Thank you.

If there's one thing I know as a man, it's that I respect women

human contact is for the weak.

So you're saying I'm weak even though I'm single and waiting for the perfect chance to find my soul mate? If that's the case, then shame on you.

Yup single at the moment. I wish my crush would notice me ;_;

I usually don't like to stand out too much. I'd look too much like a jock if I did. It just ain't my style. If I ever had a crush, I'd just do my own thing, which is drawing, or listening to my music

[Rawzy 1,302]

Happily single. I plan on never getting into a relationship, simply because I think alot of girls these days are spoilt, and I don't want to have to spoil them even more with all my money that I could be using to pay my bills and buy my food. Besides, girls these days have an infinite amount of standards and they would rather the top 1% of good looking guys, or guys that have a full-time job and can support said girls that do not have jobs.

Just as an exercise in thought have you ever thought about the Soulmate complex? The chances that your soul mate is:

 

1. Around your age

2. Lives in the same era as you

3. Lives anywhere close enough that you would ever meet, not counting potential travel and vacations

 

are rather small unless you assume some form of divine providence or otherworldly connections that draw two people together.

Even if they do not respect you? Respect is something that should go both ways equally.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,749]

I've been single so long (forever) and alone in general (forever alone) that I've spent so much time just working on myself and enjoying my hobbies. So I've also been exercising, working out and just put time into myself and honestly being single just stopped being an "issue" for me as I probably just wouldn't have time for hobbies, work, exercise and uni so my advice to those who are single is to really stop all negative thoughts that come from the isolation and become strong. Now currently I pretty much have it all, except for a relationship mostly due to lacking time, if you keep yourself fit and spend time doing what you like it's bound to catch the attention of someone if they still aren't interested they're missing out.

 

[IsraelYabuki 449]

I stay respectful to people as long as they don't disrespect me, that's what my mom and step dad taught me before they broke up.

Lots of umbrella statements here. There are just as many women who would prefer going dutch on bills, have standards that don't necessarily match boyband-of-the-year looks and would be just as willing to support themselves.

 

Here's the problem though: Not every woman of any defining category necessarily wants to date other people. Sometimes they use the same umbrella statements about guys only wanting the girls with the biggest bust or the ones who won't challenge their thought processes, etc. Sometimes they just don't have the time to expend on it whether from careers or hobbies. Not to mention that the ratio of people who'd prefer antisocial lifestyles where they aren't bothered is growing on both sides. Why get married and have kids when you can have a fancy condo and all the world-travelling privilege when you aren't tied down?

 

It's easy to see why so many people prefer to be single when their only options are people who are just as disgusted with the human race as they are.

I feel it's a bit sad that this is how it has become yet as social creatures we have the need for that contact, though some might deny it.

[Teavvi 627]

Single as a Pringle and proud of it!

It's entirely possible to satisfy the social need without the romantic baggage. Internet culture in particular is very good at this. It's probably a good reason why we are that way.

There's something I heard somewhere.  "Three minutes without air.  Three days without water.  Three weeks without food.  Three months without love."  There are some of us who don't care for social interaction in large doses (tons of medicine can be lethal, after all), but very few true hermits exist.
