View Full Version : The Plight of the Single Man

Do you know, my night out with the lads last night really hammered home to me just what it means to be single. No matter where I looked, I saw couple everywhere. All my mates, have girlfriends. All the girls I ever get to know, have boyfriends, in short. I think I must be one of a dying breed, the single man.
I don't usually object to being single, in fact its sort of good, responsibility is cut in two pretty much. However, there is one thing wrong with me. I can talk to any man, hell, even men I don't like or whatever, I'll even have a scrap with two men at the same time... but, put a girl in front of me and say speak. And I struggle, its like I don't know what to do.
I have no luck at all with the girls. All the girls I've ever fancied either don't want to know, or, already have a boyfriend. Anyways, this is not me having a whine. But, I think if you are single nowadays you are a rarity. I could be wrong but, seems like everywhere you go you see couples. I have to confess I'm beginning to change my views now, and I think I would love to have a girlfriend.

Its lovely coming home from work and leaving the boss there. Course, as soon as you walk in the door you got another boss to please.
More single blokes than ladies in the world i believe, but you'd just be noticing it cos you feel you're missing out.
My advice? Dont stress it. If you do, you're only gonna make things worse for yourself. You seem young enough, you got plenty of time, no need to stress. besides, stressing will make you look desperate, and women can smell desperation from miles away. When you talk to em, dont look at them as potential partners, just friends to be made. Anything else will come after a friendship is established.

Well, you're not alone in this one. Well, you are but you know what I mean. Have found couples stand out more in Summer than any other Season, dunno why that is :hmm:
I wouldn't worry about it, if you're inclined to embark on a relationship then it's just a matter of time until you do :yep:

Hi Mikey
I remember a long while back (remember I'm 50 now) in those heady days of being young enough to experience a youthful hectic daily life. It was sometimes hard to keep all them balls in the air at the same time ie: drinking with the guys, hobbies, courting etc.
You know what ? Every time you had to give something up or sacrifice one priority for another.....What do you think was dropped ?
Courting....and what did I invariably start thinking for a while after ?
"I'll never find another girlfriend, I'll die old and lonely" yada yada yada :damn:
The plus side would be nights out with the guys on the drink and plenty of 'useless' advice...."There's plenty more fish in the sea"......"Your too young to be tied down"...."Come on out with us and we'll get blasted together"
There is always someone out there for everyone. Hell!! there's probably dozens of young women living in close proximity to you thinking similar thoughts.
If you are mindful to enter into a relationship it will happen as soon as you bump into your 'soul mate', believe me. I speak from personal experience.
There are too many women out there for there not to be a close match for you.
One of the secrets is.......don't rush in and make a mistake that could scar you for a long time. Be patient, choose carefully and enjoy the experience.
Most importantly of all........enjoy yourself in the meantime.
Good luck young sir.
All the best for the future :up:
Don't worry, once they hit their early 30's they start getting ancy, and start worring about their biological clocks and what not . . . afraid that they will die alone . . . then they will be more apt to a long-term relationship (maybe even marriage). However, the problem with that is . . . the "cream of the crop" will have already been taken off the market :down: . . . well . . . you can't have everything:huh:
Whatever you do . . . don't settle. Find someone who you want to be with, and who wants to be with you (not what they make you become). They say that who you choose to wed, or be your hetero-life partner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_and_Silent_Bob) determine 90% of how happy you will be with the rest of yourt life.
On the other hand, you get to choose when to go to sleep, when to go out, when to stay in, what movie to see, how to spend your money, how long to play GWX, etc. etc. Relationships aren't all golden ;)

I just want to add. Keep ya zipper up mikey and wait till you find the right one, have fun but dont go jumping in bed with the first babe that gives you "that" look, if she gives you that look, my advice is to RUN!. :D Get to know her, be friends then move from there, might sound corny but wait till your married. :yep:

Not alone mikey my one left me 6 months ago.
I know exactly what you mean!
Especially when you get to a certain stage in life, being single like that really starts to get to you. It's certainly getting to me, a lot, and I wish I could offer some advice but I'm the one who needs it myself.
However, there is one thing wrong with me. I can talk to any man, hell, even men I don't like or whatever, I'll even have a scrap with two men at the same time... but, put a girl in front of me and say speak. And I struggle, its like I don't know what to do.
Funny, this is a complete opposite with me. I tend to "lock up" with guys much more so than with girls, but talking hasn't solved anything for me so far. I find it a lot easier to open up to women, maybe it's just the way I am. But like I said, talking has yet to get me anywhere - I may have gained me some female friends, and zero interest in me on their part :-? The fact that pretty much all of them are not single or are somewhat older than me (by a few years, which I guess in your 20s still counts for something) probably isn't helping.
Hang in there, that's all to be said here I guess! You're definitely not alone in this.

Havent really noticed that afew years count at my age (soon to be 21), but then again i havent been involved in any long relationship either. Anyway talking with women is not much different than talking with guys imo. Anyway what works for me is that for some reason they seem interested in talking with me so i have never had to put any concious effort into it, just go to a pub for a drink and see what happens from there. If nothing happens, fair ennough, i had a nice beer or ten with my mates but if something does, its a bonus.

I am with you guys. I haven't had a whole lot of interest in long term relationships because.... Well, honestly because I wanted to spend my money having a little fun first. Now at 19 though, it is starting to get to me. I wouldn't mind having a woman in my life right about now.

10-08-07, 03:38 AM
keep waiting boys, believe me.
firstly, cos you can spend the money on yourself, no need to keep anyone happy, you can flirt if you want, you can have boys nights out and not worry about the old lady being unhappy with it...
secondly cos when she comes shes well and truly worth the wait. You will probably find shes not where you expect her to be, either.

Now this is an interesting topic and one not addressed enough in my oppinion, especially amongst blokes. We're all "conditioned" to bite the lip and soldier on but the fact is that men/woman are social animals and we all like a bit of fluffy company now and again.
Sure when we're young we worry less about it because we have the whole world to explore but as we get older, a little calmer perhapps, we start feeling an urge to take things a little easier, settle down perhapps...who knows.
I've recently fallen into the same boat as the original poster, my own fault really as I keep popping off on mad adventures. The last one was crossing Greenland, took a month and got dumped as soon as I got back :cry:. I'm off again at the end of the month , this time for 2.5 months so I can sort of understand somebody not wanting to wait. Mind you, during the war people waited a lot longer....or did they :hmm:
Anyway, my advice, and i'm 42 so not sure its worth a great deal, is to carry on being you as that's what makes you unique. Who knows, maybe some of the posters here who say there is a "soul mate" for everyone out there are right, but even if not then you will eventually meet someone and things will sparkle. Just make sure you maintain a good social set so you can get out and about a bit....well they're not exactly gonna come knocking on your door out of the blue are they. The main thing is to be you and DONT TRY TOO HARD!!!
Another thing that i find a bit wierd is that most married blokes say its a pain in the ass and we should stay single. Most single blokes say its a pain in the ass and they would like to be coupled. I'm not sure if the married blokes are just saying that to cheer us single blokes up....I wish they didn't:shifty:
And yet another thing that i find annoying is the way woman try to change us. I mean they like us when they meet us fo what we are, so we get together and then they do their damnest to change us. Eventually we change this and that, to keep the peace cos we like a quiet life, and then we get the famous "You're no longer the same person you were when I met you"........well thanks to you honey!!
Right, glad to get that off my chest, time to get back in my box. :dead:

One basic thing you need to keep in mind is women like attention. I do not mean fan over me attention and worship the ground I tread on attention. (although it helps sometimes) They want someone to listen to them. Someone who is not judgmental. Just listening is about the best attention you can afford them. Often you will find them attracted to this then any physical attraction. I used to clam up around the ladies until I realized they are just people with ambitions and concerns like anyone else. Once you get a grasp on that, talking and befriending them is easy. The relationship will develop down the road. Not to worry, she will be along one day.

Well, thanks for all the replies to this guys I have had a lot of time to chew this over and since my original post, I have took a shine to somebody. She works in the Library of my college, lol, I want to ask her just to grab a cup of tea and a chat. I don't know what my chances of success are, I usually dress pretty smartly to go to college. I don't turn up like any old rag-bag so that's got to work in my favour.
I don't know, I reckon I'll give it a try and see how I get on. She says no, well, I'm back to square one again. Annoying but hey - I'm not the first and won't be the last that is for darn sure.
I'm expecting a no, so if I get a yes, it'll be a bonus.
There is nothing wrong being single look at the facts -
Toilet seat in the up position
No longer waiting 30 minutes to get in to the toilet because of a women
More toilet paper for you
Hot water
No complaints about farting in the bath tubBliss :D

I'm in my late forties, and single by choice. That's the way I like it. There is a lady I do see somewhat regularly, but I have no interest in either marriage nor co-habitation. Marriage has just never appealed to me, and I've never been interested in being a father either. I've done the living together routine for a few years, but much prefer living by myself in my own place. In part, I think it's just because I cannot get motivated to make the inevitable compromises that sharing a living space with someone entails. Just the way I roll, I guess.
If you want a realtionship, go for it. But don't ever apologize to society if you choose to remain single - though some people seem to want to make you feel you need to - never understood that :roll:

Do not go in expecting a NO. Standing there befuddled and waiting on a NO will be detected by the young lady. Confidence but not overbearing is the plan! Going for a cup of tea and some conversation sounds like a good plan. Just remember about the claming up part. She is person like you with interests and such. Do not clam up, talk about what you like and do with your time. She will chime in. You do the same. Before you know it and being she is in the library working, just imagine the help she can provide in finding old dusty books on the uboat. Good way to expand on the subject matter and WW2 as a whole. Good way to have conversation. I would hope she is working in the library because of her interest in histories and such. Feel her out (figure of speech here;) ) and she what makes her tick:yep:
There's nothing inherently wrong with being single- but if you think that having a regular woman is necessary for happiness (I think it's a result, not a prerequisite of happiness), then this is what I advise:
Go out and either:
1. Live through your passions. A happy, busy person is more likely to draw positive attention to oneself, and that means the opposite sex. Chicks dig confidence and positive energy. It's also a huge turn-off to the ones who are bad for you. If you come from a place of insecurity and lonliness, the only women you will connect with will be those at that emotional level. And that's never really a good thing; or a long-term solution.
OR....
2. Go out and make TONS of $$$. Women are not drawn to Hugh Hefner for his...sparkling personality. He's actually somewhat banal. But he has cash. Many, many women dig cash. And power.
I don't think you should think of it as embarking on a relationship. I just recently in the last 2 months embarked on a girl (sounds dirty doesnt it). Find a girl you fancy (and not just her massive babylons) and go with it. All this social conditioning for how we expect it to happen... its so annoying. Everyone hates it. its true girls like you to listen and to give them attention, but I think another secret is dont be a doormat. Don't be completely submissive. A little bit of hard to get is a good thing. Be popular but not always available. I've heard from reputable female sources that women find men attractive if they're not always breathing down their necks being really nice (presumably hoping to get sommat). I've never had a typical date. Just fun meetings with a 'freind' that ended in serious or not so serious snogging. Only one has been a real girlfriend (2 months and counting) and that came about randomly, and it made for alot of interesting social dynamics seeing as how she's my friend's ex girlfreind too... well not he's my ex-freind now but he was always a bit of a dick anyway.
Such a mess thats been, but she's worth it.:up:

Dude. I first saw my wife Janet, three weeks before I turned 14 on her mother's 51st birthday, Feb. 17,1968, crossing from Shakespeare's Book Store to Cody's Book Store across the intersection of Telegraph and Durant Avenues in Berkeley, Ca. dressed in a black silk top hat, long black velvet dress and long black velvet cape. She had turned 21 ten days before. That girl became the template for every other girl I was attracted to for the rest of my life.
I didn't finally meet her until 1989, when I was 35 and she was 42. That's when she got hit by the thunderbolt. I wrote a short story about this on my myspace blog and my writing group called,"Better Late Than Never". Long story short, we ran away together six weeks after the big SF quake rather than have an affair. It wasn't until about two months later, living on the dock of the bay, that I found out she was the girl I had seen all those years ago.
So never fear. When you seem to have lost all hope, out of left field usually, you'll get kicked in the butt by love. It will come unlooked for when you least expect it and will turn your life upside down. It sure did it to me.
The most important thing you can do is to be interested in her and what she does. Most people like to talk about themselves, so ask her questions about what she does, what she is interested in, what she reads (gotta go for that one with a librarian), movies she likes etc.
This has the added advantage of finding out whether she is someone you want to spend time with beyond the physical attraction. Don't put too much pressure on yourself with unrealistic expectations of a continuing relationship either. The first move is to find out if the feeling is mutual (i.e. she is keen enough to want to go for the cuppa), then let it flow from there.
You should go for it ask her out and don't expect a no because that won't put you in the drivers seat.
Also don't take advice from people on the internet.:rotfl::rotfl:You never know what kind of weirdos we are.:rotfl::rotfl:

Have a read of "The Zahir", by Paulo Coelho....its pretty good at pointing out the difference between "love" and "possesion", most blokes try to possess their girlfriends, which I think harks back to our instinctual competative nature. But if you really love someone then ensuring their freedom should become a higher priority....not easy, but hey, nothing is really.
Right, i'm off to the docks.

I am older than Penny. Physically that is. ;):lol:
I went for it today, and I'm not entirely certain, but I may have had a "maybe" I've never had a I'll think on it type response before traditionally all my responses have been:
"oh I already have a boyfriend" or,
"um, I'm kinda busy for the rest of the week."
and I don't know if this today is playing hard to get (hopefully it is), or it is a "take a hint and go away" type thing.
Basically, I volunteered to take her for tea and chat... which is fine and dandy, she looked like she was about to go, least in my opinion, but got pulled back at the final moment to her books, and cup a soup.:rotfl:
So I said "how about tomorrow then?" and I got a "we'll see" and a bit of a smile.
So make of that what thy will. So I had a semi-success. I was pretty confident, not so much so to the point of arrogance. I don't know what to think will come tomorrow, but, I'm thinking maybe I'm being tested on my interest. I'm not 100% certain. Uncertainty scares me. I either like to know it will or it won't. To me maybe's are just - not very nice.
However it was better than the alternative. So well - onward and upward.:up:

So..... how goes the saga? Its just as good as LS's U49 tale - but much more like Big Brother...:doh:
Sounds like she might be interested. A "we'll see" could just be a way to see how keen you are. It could also have been a way of nicely saying "Bugger off you twat, I wouldn't go out with you for a million quid!":rotfl: All you can do is have another shot and if she finds an excuse then move on. If she's still playing hard to get, then you are still in with a chance.

So, again, I am back to square one. Thing is and this is the part that winds me up the most, and its the truth too, Penny would easily back me up on this. Our parents don't give a feck. As long as neither of us bother them with personal problems, everything is fine, if we do, then we just get short shrift.

Keep pluggin' away. Eventually one will say yes. Don't get hurt by a knockback but also don't just grab the first thing that comes along.

OK. try this line.
"Listen, honey. Everybody tells me you're a lousy lay, but I don't believe them. I said, "No! No! She's not like that at all."
You may be fresh and rude, but your defending her.
The other line I liked, I used whenever a girl wouldn't dance with me:
"No. I said you look Fat in those Pants!"
Only say that if you want to go home alone. It sure feels good when you say it though.

Look at it from my point of view.
My wife and I have created two beautiful daughters. One day someone like yourself will cross paths with a girl such as our two ladies, you will sweep her off her feet, and you will be the missing link in her life. BUT FIRST, you have to meet the father (me :stare:) or someone like me :rotfl: and he/you are good enough and she loves you/him deeply; then I or a father like me will proudly take a step back as the number one man in her life.
As you find bliss happiness a father finds sad happiness. I leave you with this song, my daughters have agreed to play this song when her and I walk down the isle and I'm seconds away from giving her away.
What ever you do in life, always treat your girlfriend/wife as your best mate.

Can't reinforce this enough. I've never found myself in relationship when I've been expecting something to happen.
My current girlfriend and I got together from a drunken wrestling match. 'nuff said.

Oh I do apologise Jimbuna, I was a bit afeared I would get in the way with GWX official matters. And I am very wary because if I start to whinge about all the woes that have come my way over this, I can't stop.
Basically Im taking the "I don't really give a monkeys" stance, basically if you watch for something like this, I'm not sure it does happen, in any case, there is always somebody worse off than me.

Rule of thumb. Don't make a point of being interested. They will come to you. I'm certainly not the best looking but I was the quietest. I had girlfriends and they had none. Some years ago but it's timeless advice. There is someone for everyone. Just let it happen.
