i think womens main problem is we LOOK for a man. dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with being proactive, but some of us have that "have to be in a relationship" attitude, as if we are less if we dont have a man...we all know who that girlfriend is. the one who is constantly looking before she gets herself straight first.
the best advice i ever got was to stop looking. take time to learn myself. enjoy my youth. practice my faith.
lo and behold, the man in my life moved in across the street from me and we've been together ever since.

I agree. Get yourself right 1st but at the same time don't just settle for any joker, it's not worth it. You can be miserable by yourself.

If you like long term relationships, a full relationship is always good, but only if the person you're with is good. You're right, being alone isn't fun, but it's fun if you're with someone who ain't $%^&.

Me and my girlfriends were discussing this topic a few days ago. 1 never married, 1 still a newlywed and myself a product of a failed engagement. The only thing we could come up with is that our current society just does not promote marriage as a viable option for young couples. You see so much propaganda against marriage that most people just feel it's not worth it. It has become more of a legal partnership than a true relationship. Unfortunately I have also been exposed to women being victims of their "social status". Myself and the other single friend are in our early twenties, working on advanced degrees and are in the process of owning property and buisnesses; this alone will cause the average man to feel like he can't bring anything to the table so why try? Men ask me what I'm looking for in a man and I say " to be confident in yourself and comfortable with who you are" Thats all! You'd be surprised and the number of men who decide thats too much!!!

Why? I have much more fun now then I did in a dysfunctional relationship. I am enjoying this period of "aloneness" in my life, because while I might be along I am not lonely.

I agree. There's nothing worse than having a relationship with an idiot. But I would rather be in a relationship with a great woman than by myself.
