Why is it that there are so many singletons

How come the online dating is on the increase and yet there are so many many singletons ?

Why is that supposingly when we are so much better off materialistically we are lacking in the fundamentals of life ?

I have had a few glasses of wine but it seemed important that I post this message (hic!)

Good question!

Maybe because pursuing a career (so we can afford the materialistic side of life also known as "the mortgage") ever so slightly inhibits the find of the soul mate?

I'm not saying that these two are mutually exclusive, but I know that in my case at least at one occasion in the past two incompatible careers helped the relationship as sand helps a gearbox.

Must warn that I just had a coffee though!

I wish I new. Here we are again, Saturday evening, and noone to share it with.
Tonights highlight - Dr Who, and then what. Another few glasses of wine, and so to bed ALONE.
and another week beckons. More of the same.

Depressed and bewildered

Thanks for your response, by materialistic things I wasn't referring to mortgage etc. as I'd class that as an essential.

It was a general question really, but take your point. (note to self not to post messages without thinking it through properly!)

Hope the coffee is keeping you awake :-)

Ah Evening B

Join the club, let's drink to singledom :-) and remember it's better to be on your own than in an unhappy relationship (at least that's what I keep telling myself!).

I certainly didn't mean to depress anyone by starting the thread. I had a very trying week and was in a very reflective mood last night.

Let's raise our glasses, look forward to the summer and the chats to be had with some of our lovely friends on here.

Poppy how the hell can you really be single?? Unless by choice or your man has a huge list of "must have and must not have's"

You are beautiful for Gods sake, don't tell me you can't get a man, I don't believe it.

CMDR You'd think I was asking for the moon, but genuine, single, local men to date are very hard to find.

I have dated and do get asked out but not from the type of person I want to be with. So I'm waiting to strike (:-)) when I come across my Mr Right.

I know why I'm still single, I'm very picky!
Still, I'm in no rush....

Mouse, great attitude, some things you should never compromise on :-)

Why are there so many singletons? Simple. The ME generation and its unhappy offspring.
