That's funny you should say that, cuz I know that's what most people would say.

And yet, despite the fact that I have a job, am going to school, and despitemy reputation among many women for being funny, caring, a listener, and their "best friend", I still remain single.

The worst insult of all is when they say "you're like a brother to me"

For god's sake, I do everything right, and all that happens is I become a shoulder to cry on, only to find them dating assholes that treat them like shit. But that doesn't matter, because they can vent by complaining about them to me.

And none of you give me that "one day you'll find someone" garbage, because I've found many. I just don't get it. Just once I'd like to hear someone say "I'm looking for a jerk that'll look down upon me, but has a fast car and a tight ass".

I'm sorry, I've been going through a rough 2 weeks here, having trouble deciding what I should do about something.

And for the record purplelove, I'm not talking about you, I'm only talking about the women that seem to cross my path.

Or how about, "I wish I could find somebody like you..."...Um, hello? You don't have to find somebody "like" me...you found me...lol (I used to hear that quite a bit when I was in college...).

I often think that we're going about it all wrong when we make a list of "qualities" we want our partner/lover to have, then go about our lives thinking that if we could just find someone who's "this" and "this" and "that" it would lead to love and happiness...but what we forget is that we don't love "qualities"; we love people...sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities.

Right on. We are definitely attracted defects, not just virtues. That's why some women are attracted to abusive men--most of us are imprinted upon by our parents, and we tend to be attracted to similar qualities, good and bad.

Well there's gotta be some kind of attraction and maybe they just aren't attracted to you Purplelove. You can have good qualities coming out of your wazoo...but if there's no attraction then it's not gonna happen. Hang in there, you're not the only one, trust me. I went out with my girlfriends over the weekend and out of the 3 of us (and we're not a bad lookin' bunch of chicks wink) we couldn't find one person we liked. It was depressing! You start thinking you're gonna be alone the rest of your life and nobody is out there. It'll happen when you least expect it...just hang out with friends and have fun!

Very interesting. I never thought of it like that.
