Lets see if I still remember how to do this. It’s been a while since I have blogged. I use the excuse that I have been busy, but that’s B.S. I have time to do things I just choose not to do them. The death of myspace is a large reason I have quit blogging I guess. What is the point in writing a blog if nobody is going to read it? Back when I started writing these blogs I knew 20-30 people were going to read them and give me feedback. Now? This may never be read by anyone but me. But I know I need to start writing again because it makes me feel better so here goes.

I got asked today (I am asked this often) “Why are you STILL single?”

My response was because I live where I do. And I beleive that, it is a big reason I am single, but there are so many other reasons, so I will list some of them

x) I am too picky - I wrote a blog about this. I AM too picky, no doubt about it. If I am going to be in a relationship with someone I want to be with someone that I can’t wait to be with. I don’t just want to be with someone for the sake of being with someone. If I don’t feel that way then I feel like I am just wasting the other persons time, or using them. I have an issue using people (unlike most men).

x) I am 33 - I’m a 33 year old guy that still acts and feels like he is 24-25. The majority of women my age act like they have a foot in the grave. They are too serious about everything. They don’t enjoy ‘playing’. When I am with a woman that is my age I feel like I am hanging out with my mom. There is a time and a place for seriousness, I understand that. But you only get one life, when you die it’s over, so have some fun for f*ks sake. I think I will always want to run and play and have fun, so I can’t be with someone who doesn’t enjoy doing the same.

x) Obesity is an epidemic – Speaking of running and playing. You have to be in halfway decent shape to do that. While I don’t expect everyone to be in perfect shape (I know I’m not) I can’t be with someone that I don’t find attractive. This ties in with being too picky. Men are visual creatures, I am a MAN. EXCESS fat is not attractive. So the less EXCESS fat a woman has the better. The problem is that most of the women who aren’t fatties, aren’t single.

x) I have kids and wont be making any more – This basically limits me to single mothers who don’t want more kids. Most women want kids of their own some day, the ones that don’t have that goal in life most likely don’t want to date a guy with kids. Couple that with the fact that I don’t seem to get along with women my age or older.. and this is a big one.

x) I can’t move – Until my girls grow up and move out I am staying here to be with them. That means I have to be with someone that lives real close, or they have to move closer to me, because we all know long distance relationships don’t work.

x) I’m not trying – I pretty much gave up sometime last year on even looking for someone to be in a relationship with. It’s hard to become un-single when you aren’t even looking for someone to be with.

But the #1 reason I am single and any man will understand this, is that I am HONEST. You cannot be HONEST and be in a relationship with a woman. You have to start out telling some lies, leaving out some crap, or at least bending the truth, because every other swinging dick out there damn sure is. And women fall for it hook line and sinker. So if you want to be able to compete with all the crap every other man is selling in order to get some, you gotta play the game too. If you can’t beat them you gotta join them. And honesty never wins in this game.

If you start out dishonest, by the time the woman finds out, it’s too late. She already has feelings for you, and then she is willing to overlook the stuff that she would have passed you over because of at the start. That is the secret that most men know. unfortunately for me I still haven’t learned to accept being a liar yet. So yes, the fact that I am honest keeps me single.

Go figure.
