Being a 29 year old single bloke who hasn't had a date for a year now, I thought I had it pretty bad. But some poor wonders I've seen on here are in their 30s or older and they haven't even dated at all in their lives, never mind had a girlfriend. I thought that because my last proper long-term girlfriend was years ago and all I've had is flings since then made me some sort of bottom-of-the-pile saddo. But I don't feel too bad and I can still laugh and interact with people properly. Probably. I think.
But I have wondered at how there do seem to be more lonely single blokes about than lonely single women. People like me who buy frozen foods in single portions, don't bother to wear a dressing gown and who have long forgotten that many people need to close the lavatory door when they go, both at home as well as at work.
I read somewhere that women make 2/3 of the population, though I could swear blind that it was vice-versa. Very few women I see on my travels seem to be single (or looking sad enough to be) whilst single men seem to flood the place.
I wonder why men take being alone much worse than women do, and I think it's probably because it's men who are the gentler sex. Beneath the gruff exterior we feel pain more than women do (with the exception of chavs (who are nasty to the core) and women about to give birth).
And I can't understand how lonely men seem to be in greater number than lonely women. Yes, some scientists say more men than women are weird, violent or soppy as sacks, but it doesn't stop black-eyed inner-city girls from taking the plunge with their bad choices all the same.
Women say they want strong, masculine confident types who they can rely on, which is fair enough. But they also say they want sensitive, soft and gentle qualities at the same time. Which is largely a paradox. And I think that's the answer to why so many perfectly nice men end up ignored - they haven't discovered they need to walk a tightrope to live up to a synthetic perception, probably a payback for all that slimming, waxing and constant sex the ladies feel they have to do.
