How long have you been single?

It's been almost 3 years now. I've met, hooked up with, and had sex with girls who were good enough to have sex with, but that I didn't consider to be girlfriend material. I think this comes from my low self-esteem and lack of willingness to try for what I really want.

 

I think it is choice as well, I doubt those that have been single for years haven't had chances with shall we say (less good looking girls) it's just we choose to not date them because we don't find them attractive and we'd rather be alone. It took a long time to realise this in myself, as it is easy to label 'all girls are bitches and don't want to date a nice guy.' -(all the hot ones more like)

My advice, if you've single for too long, lower your standards and get some experience, this is what counts with women/ and believe it or not, most women, fat ugly, grotesque, or hot with pretty faces and smoking bodies all behave in the same way emotionally and in their physical desires.

 

Just saw this video. It's an idea I've seen before and I think it's relevant to this thread because being alone and being addicted could be related.

I don't agree with everything in it. I think he draws the conclusion too easily between just being around people or "having friends" and not being addicted.

But I do think that people who have healthy relationships and find their lives to be fulfilling and pretty well in order probably don't have as much trouble abstaining from addictions or never picking them up in the first place.
