Sigh here I am in my 41st year and never been lucky in the romance game and I wonder if I will ever have the thrill or the chance of holding a woman in my arms or to even embrace her.I wonder what a passionate kiss would really be like?Sorry but I can dream can't I?Not having a relationship is the only thing to have ever evaded me.There really is nothing more in life for me to accomplish than this.

You see a relationship as an accomplishment?

Wanna trade places? I've been in dozens of relationships, and, in retrospect, I'd trade them all in for a 20 oz. Pepsi. Just one guy's opinion, but the whole thing is way more trouble than it's worth.

Of course, I might change my mind if I ever ran into a partner who had more depth than single-ply toilet paper, but then again, I might change my mind about gravity if I ever saw a stegosaurus flying.

pepsi pepsi

c'mon over!

I am SO transparent....!!

That may scare women off to tell them something like that. I do understand what you're saying though.

Five dolla, me holla.
Me love you long time.

Seriously, you are 6'2" and employed.
Whatsa problem?

You never??

Funlovingguy - are you a 41 year old virgin? If so I don't think any amount of cynicism is going to convince you NOT to want a relationship.

Relationships can suck and end badly, but it doesn't mean they are not worth it, and that sex and intimacy are not worth the trouble. imo

Keep trying.

I don't know, I think that's going to vary from person to person. I know I'd gladly erase all of mine in a heartbeat, and I wouldn't have to think twice about it.

Yes but maybe you'd feel differently if that meant you were a 40 year old virgin who had no experience.

Sure, in that scenario, I'd probably be trying really hard to get myself into a relationship.

The problem is that we have absolutely no way of knowing whether that hypothetical relationship would turn out well or not -- anything could happen when you're dealing with a single (and totally unprecedented) example.

All I'm saying is that I'm inclined (and this is admittedly completely subjective) to believe that the odds of finding anyone who's actually worth it are so minuscule as to be virtually nonexistent.

And then there's the issue of what any particular individual means by "worth it" -- because there are people out there who are looking for nothing more than a brain-dead cardboard cutout they can lead around on a leash, and they're perfectly happy if they can find one of those.

Standards vary, and some arrangements are simply easier to find than others.....

So I guess it all comes down to what you want....and DON'T want....

Ok ok it's not what you want.... but it's "worth it" to me.

It is mathmatically, and this is literal...one in a million. Statistics and world population all figured into the equation, really basic too: High school/GED education, job, single, age range 23-35.

Well now wasn't that fun?Thank you all you've been a wonderful audience.Elvis has now left the building!

''I am so transparent!''Man you gotta love these sites!!
