I hate being single

What am I doing wrong? Am I sending out the wrong vibes? Do I have a sigh on my forhead that says “all lossers my way”. How do I change this? I need help!

Im sick of atracting the wrong men. I always seam to attract the no hopers. Today I had a man he who is at least 15 yrs older then me, who has not long been out of prison, and cant keep a job say to me he would be very happy to have me as his women. Ahhh, I think not. Why, Why, Why, do they all come my way?

Where are all the decent, good men hiding?

    Oh little miss, I empathise with you. I heard a guy on the telly say today, that there is a glut of females. He was saying that females need to do something scientific to attract males……….but he didn’t actually say decent ones.
    I suggest a hobby to take your mind off it !!

    I suppose youve trawled thru RSVP ??
    I hear tell the guys on there are a tad sleezy though. A friend of mine met someone rather spesh on lava life. But you need to take the wine goggles off when looking thru these things……..O.K ??????

    Online dating, of course!
    www.rsvp.com.au
    Were it not for this wonderful website, I would never have had a boyfriend. It’s where I met my current boyfriend (and a few before that). Don’t wait for it to happen, MAKE it happen. Force it at gunpoint to happen. And let me first say that no, I don’t work for RSVP, just that I’ve found it to be the very best and easiest Aussie online dating website to use.

    On your RSVP profile, you can specify the type of man that you’re looking for, and you can only communicate with the people you want to - there are very easy and polite ways to decline prospective suitors who you don’t think are very suitable.

    On RSVP, it’s free to send “kisses” to people whose profiles seem interesting to let them know that you’re interested, and they can respond with a “kiss” to say whether or not they are interested in you. That way you know if they are interested before you invest money in contacting them (or, if you’ve as lucky as me, you’ll never have to spend a cent because they always contact you first).

    Some of the other popular Australian online dating websites are:
    http://www.adultmatchmaker.com.au/
    http://www.lavalife.com/
    http://www.findsomeone.com.au/
    http://www.match.com.au/

    But I don’t know how expensive they are.

    Alternatively, you can try some of the smaller niche dating websites if you have specific interests:
    http://www.christiancafe.com/ - All Christian, all single
    http://www.gothicmatch.com/ - Gothic, punk, vampire, metal, etc. Does not have a very good search function though.
    http://www.animalattraction.com/ - Online dating for pet lovers
    http://www.whispers4u.com/ - Online dating for the differently-abled (search by disability!)

    And there are heaps more niche or specialty dating sites here:
    http://www.socialgrid.com/specialty-dating-service.html

    However, all these sites are usually much less Australia-specific.

    Hope you can find a good man - don’t give up, they’re out there! :)

    Hi Little Miss - not sure what advice I can offer you but I am sure things will work out for you! Many of my friends found their partners when they decided to forget about the idea of being “out there” to meet people and instead went only to social functions they enjoyed for their own sake. One enrolled in art classes and went to openings, etc., another joined the VRC and went to all the race days because she loved that, and another told all her friends she was keen to meet someone new and happy to accept introductions!! All ended up meeting someone special while they were having fun meeting lots of people of both sexes and enjoying themselves doing something they loved. Now that I am married with two small children I can only say enjoy your single years!! They can be some of the best times you can have with fans of spiderman and hi5! :)

    Incredible timing here Littlemisss-Keeper of the giggles ?

    Aside from my biography writing, i sometimes do mini profiles for people - as in for a singles ad / magazine etc.
    And obviously, i take ripper photos as well.

    I have been thinking about launching a singles referal service- once the gallery / cafe / live music venu gets going. Don’t forget,shadowmaster is a degree qualified journo.

    In my experience, it is very hard to sell yourself. However, when someone not emotionaly attached to you is able to do it, it becomes a much more honest, and perhaps effective sales pitch.

    Food for thought.

    I love being single, I decided a long time ago that I’m too hmmm (selfish is probably the wrong word) just I like being my own boss, I don’t have pander to someone else needs (children excepted but that different), I can be me, not someone elses idea of what I should be, I don’t have to justify my actions, I like myself and don’t need a partnership to make me feel worthy.

    So consider these things Little M, being single isn’t that bad, and if you are comfortable with who you are and don’t appear too desperate for someone, you may just attract someone really nice.

    Plenty of good advice Little Miss. I hope that with such good advice you will only miss a little. Here is my long life experience. Fish in the right pond, where there are plenty of fishes of the right kind, with the right hook and bait. … and then just be patient. Ask any good fisherman or fisher woman.

    Hay Guys thanks for the encouragement. I just wanted to whine about the type of men I seam to attract. I just dont get why I attract the wrong type. I heard on the radio today that there is a higher women to men ratio for the over 30’s which did not fill me with joy.
    I do enjoy my own company, and i do do lots of things on my own. It would just be nice to have someone to do life with.

    I will keep trying the internet dating sites. I have a profile on just one site so I think its time to expand that. I will try some of the sites Lady Chaos sugested. Maybe I should get The Village Major to set them up for me.

    I was hoping to move up the queue a little but my credentials are probably worse than the bloke who just got offed so perhaps I’ll pass. Good Luck in your quest Little Miss.

    Ever thought it might be the type of men you may be attracted to? I have two friends that have constant problems with the men that come into their lives and I put it down to the fact that they are attracted to these no-hopers. Usually very good looking but no-hopers just the same. My advice is to try dating men that you wouldn’t normally be interested in. Give it a go, what have you got to lose? Good Luck.

    Being an unclaimed treasure does have its rewards…..you have control of the remote every time!

    A little ode to show you are not alone and, hopefully, cheer you up:

    A WOMAN’S POEM

    Before I lay me down to sleep,
    I pray for a man, who’s not a creep,
    One who’s handsome, smart and strong.
    One who loves to listen long,
    One who thinks before he speaks,
    One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
    I pray he’s gainfully employed,
    When I spend his cash, won’t be annoyed.
    Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
    Massages my back and begs to do more.
    Oh! Send me a man who’ll make love to my mind,
    Knows what to answer to “how big is my behind?”
    I pray that this man will love me to no end,
    And always be my very best friend.

    Of course, everything has an opposite, hence:

    A MAN’S POEM

    I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac
    with huge boobs who owns a bottle shop and a golf course.
    I know this doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a …..

    Hi MsL, “man chases a woman until she catches him” by Anon.

    May be you should play a little ‘the reluctant bride’ role.

  16. 16 meinrosebud

    I wish you great love and I hope your heart opens to someone close to you. Don’t put yourself into a bad relationship for the need of a relationship. No woman deserved to be treated as an object or a serf. Have fun be yourself and stay safe.
