There are people of very secure finances & looking for nice people to connect with, but the system does not let them see the full potential of a possible hook-up, as one ages, Its enevatable that all is not looking so perfect, but with a health financial lot, life can over look some sags & bumps,
I am single for a reason. I don't have a job. Because of my medical crap, I don't see anything changing soon unless there is a breakthrough in treatment of certain medical conditions.
That is a big big big turnoff for women and it don't matter what I can offer because I can't offer a basic stability that most take for granted.

because we are fussy lot, and unlike our grandparents and greatparents it is no longer a stigma to be unattached and single and married to some lying, cheating, drunkin', stupid male... (hey I'm speakin for myself here)

not true... you just haven't tripped over the right person yet... I'm a big believer in faith... If I didn't belive in faith, I would never have got out of bed... so please believe and don't give up hope...

The older you'll get the less selection is out there. And I do know now more what I want and what I like and I prefer being on my own than just being with someone for the sake of it (never was anyway).
I believe it's because people have become self centred. A lot of people are seeking perfection despite the fact that they themselves are far from it. I have found, from personal experience, so don't go attacking me, that men want Barbies and these men certainly aren't Kens. I find people want what looks good on the outside without taking the time to get to know a person for who they are on the inside. I think that's sad.

And very few genuine people out there...
You really think there is less of selection??? just curious as to your comment... only that I see a lot of people single and or entering a relationship later in life eg. 40+ something... maybe because where I live it's more obvious - however I do agree with you regarding wants and needs... I now feel very comfortable in myself - amazing when younger I didn't have the same feeling of security or confidence...I suppose becoming a Mum triumphs everything... you carry, give birth and look after that infant from birth to the time they are ready to cut the apron strings, and truth be known, no one, including my ex can take that away from me..
There are so many singles because we follow the patterns dictated by society of "marriage, set up home, children" BEFORE they have found out who they are, who they wanna be, what makes them happy or slowly dimmers their connection with their own soul.
We follow society´s expectations of us without querying the validity of some of it. Some of it might not be about "acquiring" a husband/wife but about acquiring financial wealth, material goods, more material wealth, more material goods. Always MORE!! Because non of it fills the "void"!!
Eventually, our life blows up in our face because as neither of the 2 people in the marriage/relationship know who they are, how is the partner supposed to? Both are "playing roles" (at home and at work) not trully defined consciously, even parenthood is too often an "accident"... Too many people´s lives are set set on that type of "shifting sand" and too much effort is required to avoid getting swollowed up by the ever shifting sand. That means the focus is always "in the wrong place".
How many people can trully say they live a conscious life?
Of course in the old days people lived by the "put up, shut up" rule, which does mean what I described did go on, it just meant people put up and shut up!! Was it better? No!!
Now at least, after a relationship split, people get a chance to do what they might not have done in their earlier years IE find out who they are and what makes them tick. That takes time and effort and makes people more aware and less likely to jump in both eyes shut into the next relationship "adventure". But it doesn´t mean they won´t when they at least have an inkling that this time, with both people wide awake and prepared to work together on "making it work", the relationship has achance of "survival" bringing peace and joy to both.
Conclusion, be patient! People are busy "growing", healing and broadening their minds and hearts!!
