I have quite a few single friends. I enjoy my single friends. It's funny to watch their dating rituals. It's also hard to watch. We live in a very uneven world.
My friends are smart, sexy, and pretty. Most watch what they eat and drink and work out. They are educated and informed about issues that matter to them. They dress nice and look great when we go out. They are nice to look at, talk to, and listen to music with. The problem is that single men their age are yucky...for the most part. (Don't be offended. I know not all men this age are total losers. Don't leave me a comment about how wonderful your husband is. Great for you but I don't care. It doesn't help my lonely friends) Why do my single friends have to be awesome and their single counterparts less than average?
Why single men in my age group suck...
These are men who don't work out but expect to snag the hottest gal in the bar, grocery store, and even church.
They might be hot and smart but these guys want a 21 or 22 year old. I have even been told by a male friend during a discussion I was old...I'm 27! My friend is 30! How is that fair? (I understand the appeal but I don't 'get it". I do get that most girls at 21 or 22 are too naive to know what these men are after. I also get that they don't jiggle as much as someone that is 30. I, being a woman, don't get why you wouldn't want to hang out with someone that doesn't have any life experience...What will you talk about?...Oh, I get it! These disgusting men don't want to talk....)
A lot of these single men are single because they are getting out of their first marriages. Say, do you have room for my extra baggage?
A lot of these men that are smart, witty, and attractive are not looking for any type of meaningful relationship.
Just in general they are so picky and unrealistic about women. They want her to work, cook, clean, be smart and be hot all the time. How is that fair when they look fat, old, drink too much ,and don't do shit?
Which brings me to my next questions. Do they ever grow up? Do these single men ever want to settle down? Have they not met the right person? Do they want children? Why are they single?
If you can shed some light on this topic please do.
This post was written with the help of my single girls. They just wanted to be heard.

Men are stupid! They are the lesser species. Afterall, they are the ones missing a "leg" from their chromosomes (XX vs. XY). Your friends need to look for men slightly older than them. Then *maybe* they can find someone mature enough for them. The "dorky" business guys are always the sweet ones!
I have NO idea and the whole concept of dating is so completely foreign to me. I wish these smart women all the best! (My mom always told me that nerds make the best husbands, so maybe they should get away from the bars and into a Shakespeare literature group or something!)
There are quality men out there, but 95% of the time they are closer to 30 years of age than 20. Typically a man 18 to 24 is still a teen in their mind. They don't want to settle down. All they want to do is "hook-up". I give hormones credit for most of this. A 25 year old man is in limbo and won't figure out what they want until they are nearly 27, this is when their hormones have finally toned down enough for them approach a woman with more than sex in mind. This doesn't mean they will, it just means they are capable of doing it. After a man is ready for more than "a good time" he is then worthy of one of your friends. Can a man reach this point earlier in life? Sure, but it is rare.
You guys...these men are in their 30s!!!! THIRTIES I TELL YOU! There aren't any cute guys at Shakespeare Lit group.
Tell your friends to improve their bedroom skills. Seriously, give it to them like they've never had before.; that will keep them crawling back and wanting more. Hey, Andrew swore he would never get married, it worked for me!
If I could clone him for them, I would, because he is perfect! I just had to add that in because I love him!
I know who you are talking about. Please don't listen to him. There are plenty of guys out there that are a bit more grounded. Sometimes what your friends continue to look for is so blatently in front of them they cannot see it. Perhaps you even suffer from this.
Chad...no, I'm not talking about that weirdo friend of yours, he did say stuff that was eye opening but...he isn't what the whole post is about. I am talking about gross guys as a whole. Ask Karen or my friend Jessica, or Paula or anyone my age that is single...
