I think its because women are brainwashed to demand marriage forever no matter what and men are brainwashed to try to sleep around and refuse to commit no matter what.
Because we are trained by the society to never be satisfied. And we don't believe in our own ability to change over time. Neither do we believe that others have that potential either.
But love isn't a trophy or a projection. If we believe or act like if it was true, it leads us wrong and we remain singles, or we will move from one flower to the next.

Nah! I disagree! Everyone (men AND women) in today's society are simply never satisfied, and are always looking at the "greener grass" on the other side, rather than being happy with what they have.
I think there is a a lot of singles out there n in here because there are a lot of people in the world - there are just more people - a lot more people.
Because we live in the age of choice. Peeps dont settle for less than what they need or want these days and thank goodness there is no longer society pressure to do so.
Venusenvy ,not all society but most in the eastern still practice it . The more educated you are ,the more liberal and freedom you demand ! The trend also if i'm a high school ,i want at least a degree girl ,a degree person wants the same or better ! Expectation is very high on most lists...so until we give someone a chance and lower our target ...it's a long search down the road.

I would like to say all of the above to the poll options and add that in Western society it has become difficult to meet potential mates. Once we lose touch with our peer group from school, or if we did not have such a group, then it becomes difficult. We leave home early, crawl home late and exhausted; then get up the next day and do it all over again. By the weekend for some people they are too exhausted to get out of bed, or have much time to do more than their cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping. In my own case I do not meet anyone outside of my work or the karate dojo at which I train. That is just how it is.

hiya Carl
i agree with you Carl(now who would of thought that would ever happen... ) re the exhaustion. we seem to have to cram in so much more into our schedules now. remember all those promises that computers would free up our time??...lol
and perhaps... for many folks, a buck just doesn't go as far these days. it's tough to be going out all the time under this current economic climate.

You got that right. I am supposed to be in the top 10% of income earners. I do not drink or smoke, my gambling is a $20 per week Lotto entry, I am always looking for ways to be more economical and yet I never seem to be what one might call affluent. Perhaps it is a case of asset rich and cash poor. A first meeting with a female is best over some good coffee, during daylight, so that both parties can cut and run if either of them are not comfortable. Past that, if a women expects me to spend a lot of money courting her she is in for a major disappointment. It is just too difficult these days.

VERY HARSH,
And definitely not true in all cases M AND F..
I know many, many women happy to just have a loving relationship
Also many male friends who have never cheated in a relationship, I include myself.

I work 3rd shift from home, I am a single mother of two young men (the one still at home has special needs - Aspergers Syndrome) and I have Lupus (NO, it is NOT contagious and I am NOT dying, lol), so I don't really get out much...also, i'm not into the "social scene" either so this is my only option

Seriously with your attitude, you need to cool it, and i wouldn't be the only one thinking that, even though i irritate you, i'm just your regular.

I can't tell you why everyone else is on here...we all have our reasons
i don;t have an active social life so can't meet anyone that way over the night club scene and never done much good in night clubs anyway i find it annoying and frustrating so here i am on dating sites harder then a dam night club with very loud music heavy competition and all the girls on the dance floor with all the men at the bar
got to see the funny side or you would cry with frustration
