In response to a poll asking about single men, then I though that it is only fair to repay the favour.

So, how many single females are there in this community, and how old are you (yes i know the old adage about never asking a lady her name, but the poll is going to be anonymous :p)

32, although I'm often taken for being younger. I was only able to stop carrying ID to bars and clubs when I was about 27, when the legal drinking age is 18 :roll: To be fair, there are bars who have higher age limits because they don't like rowdy students, but going there under the age they put on the door isn't a crime, as long as you're 18.

I'm 18 and have always been single. :roll:
Most people think I'm older than I really am. People usually guess I'm around 22. If they see me and my brother together, they think we're twins when he is three years older than I am.
When I was 16, a pastor and funeral director thought I was a graduate student studying piano. ;) I guess I just look mature. :laugh: It could also be my height, though. I'm about six feet tall with a solid build.

I dont have a problem with giving my real age, people usually dont believe me anyway. I turn 24 next week and people still ask me if I'm 17! Having people think you are younger than you really are can be really annoying!
Trust me (and I know for a fact you've heard this before, but it's true) - the day will come verrrry soon when you'll like being thought younger. I started teaching at age 25 and kept getting yelled at for not carrying a hall pass by people who didn't know me. :roll: Now I miss being thought of as younger.

Only until you hit 30, dear. After that, it's wonderful! Believe me. I am 40 and still have to show my driver's lience to prove it to some people~!

Yep, another shy single girl here. 20.
I've been on a couple of dates with a guy (my friend asked him for me); it didn't work out, but I had a good time. Waiting for my next date, whenever it may be... :bouncy:

Most people tend not to believe me; I can pass as 18 very easily, 21 if I'm actually trying.

I'm 16... and semi-single, because there is a guy I'm after but he lives pretty far.

For me, it's a matter of the guys being smart. I don't have a problem with people who aren't in general, but someone I want to be with... I'd rather be with someone who can follow what I'm thinking without constantly having to ask what the words I'm using mean and who the hell Nietzsche (if I mispelled that, sorry; I hate trying to spell German names) is. Given a choice, I'd rather be with someone smarter. Personality doesn't hurt, and neither do good looks and basically in-shape...

I'm a little demanding. I've only been with three guys before, and one of those long-distance. We'd only be together maybe once every other month.

:shhh: guys are...

(ok, well i am, but i can hardly be described normal... :roll: )

Most men are attracted much more to what is inside than outside appearance. Long term at least. Men who only cre about physical attraction are those who not interested in a person, but what they can get out of them. The sort of people who should be avoided anyway.

For all you you "shy, bookwormy, etc girls" who are trying to find out how to meet a guy with a brain here's a couple of ideas:

1- take a class at a local university. take a course about something you're interested in.

2 - if you're a church type person, see if your church does any "singles" things. I know ours does A LOT - dances, small group things, book chats, game nights, etc. if your church doesn't do that type of thing - ask them to think about the idea.

3 - force yourself to go out to parties (if force is necessary)

4 - ask a friend to introduce you to someone.

5 - join a group of some interest to you.

That's why the technically is there. Or maybe I'm just in denial... :roll:

26 and single. (And eerily, one of my chef instructors guessed my age dead-on. Weird. I mean, I could see guessing 25, or something, but pegging it exactly?) Very single. I have had opportunities, including one here already (but I don't find him attractive, he's a bit too loud, has facial hair, and has a two-year-old. I don't do children.)

Yes, I'm one of those picky girls. But I don't see the point in dating someone when I already know that physically nothing will EVER happen. Personality's important, but so is the physical, and if I'm not attracted, I'm just not going to be.

Right. Stringing someone along and getting their hopes up is worse in the long run.

A part of my "problem" in not meeting other singles is that I work mainly nights, so evening classes or any other regular hobbies aren't really an option.

:roll: You single "old farts" don't know the 1/2 of it. I'd love to be an "old fart" at 40. I'll never see that number again.

64 3/4 is indeed an "old fart". :erm: Or is that an "ancient fart" or maybe an "antique fart". What about a "venerable fart". Or could be just a "fart in the breeze" wafting away on the currents.

I put my vote on 26 though I still have a couple months to go till my birthday, but I figured 3 months I could round up lol.

Shy, single, 21.

I like to say that I'm saving myself for marriage. And, while I am, the real reason is that I have deep trust issues, especially with men.
Ranging from the absentee father, to the physically, verbally and even a bit sexually abusive step-father, to the one flat-mate I slept with, who brought a girlfriend home the next week...

But please, don't feel sorry for me. I'm getting better every day. :)

Where do I find me one of these shy, bookwormy guys? Well, not TOO shy. I do like my social life....

Oh, and I am 22.

I found my husband through the internet and he is all I didn't know I dreamt of :D . Before that I had met guys at discos and after some years I actually had given up on meeting a guy who enjoyed reading books. Then one day a girlfriend who had a profile on a dating site told me about a guy she was interested in and wanted my opinion, but to see his profile I had to have a profile so I joined up (free site). I wasn't actually looking for a guy for myself, but a lot of guys wrote and I kept on writing back that I wasn't interested in meeting anybody - until HE wrote to me :heartbeat . It wasn't love at first "sight", but we started writing to each other. It turned out he was living in the same part of Copenhagen as I was and that he actually knew the girlfriend of my brother, so we decided to meet. After a week we were seeing each other every day - and on our 3 year day of our first real date we got married :D .

So my guess is that all the decent guys are hiding behind a computer :typing: , 'cause all the guys at clubs/discos are mostly more interested in themselves :vamp: .
