No, I don't have a man...

Nor am I a man...

from JoeUser Forums
How come people ask me this question? Do I look/seem like a person who needs a man? I have thought about getting myself a man but I am not sure how much they cost to buy and I could make one myself, but that would mean again I need a man to make a man. I have a use for a man though, I have for many years contemplated getting someone in during winter to warm my bed. I will call him about an hour before bed time, he can come over lie in my bed while I get ready for bed (usually drag myself off the computer and shower etc) then when I am ready to go to bed, he gets out, I jump in where he was. He then goes home and I have a nice toasty and warm bed. So there is one use. Don't get me wrong I dont hate men or anything that resembles that sort of feeling towards them, I just don't understand why people ask me "Do you have a man?" To make it worse they might add "yet?". I have plenty of male friends who for the most part do a fantastic job of being a male influence in my life. I have however decided that for too long my seemingly un-interest (is that even a word?) in men/dating them has lead many people who are significant to me in my life to question my sexuality... So rather than asking if I have a man people may start asking "Do you have a woman yet?" roflmbo. I am of course not interested in the female of the human species in the same way I am interested in the male of the human species. Just look at my desktop for further evidence *drool*

So what is it about a single 22 yr old female who is still a virgin that causes people to need a forklift to pick their jaws off the floor with after learning this information from me? I had a boyfriend once... well so I thought but he decided that getting my best friend drunk and having sex with her was more fun then spending time with me. It's not a pretty story, something I won't get into, but I feel this experience may have had an influence on my decisions. Some of the best ones I have been told are:
1) I just want to be friends, but we should have sex, especially if we are to keep being friends... (Friends do this? Well if so, there is something I need to talk to my current friends about ;o)
2) I really love you, I do! Deeply I love you... but of course one week later he was completely in love with another woman....
3) I had a crush on you at high school... great thanks for telling me 6 years later when you are engaged to someone and not when well we may have been able to "do something"

I went into The Beat (located in the Valley) one night with two male friends, and I think, had I wanted to, I could have gone home with a nice looking lady.... O_O Does this seem to make sense to anyone else? It's gets better, I have a great habit of liking/picking the guy out of the crowd who also likes men. So we would have something in common... So I can pick up chicks and hang out with homosexual men who I think are spunks... The other way is that the guy I like likes someone else (usually another girl). So I am waiting for the day that I meet a guy who I think is spunky and is gay and taken. On that day; I am becoming a nun.

Do YOU think this answers the next asked question of "Why not?"

That was brilliant!

Do you remember the scene from Sex and the City where someone asks Miranda if she's 'seeing anyone special?' and she replies with 'No. But I am seeing an awful lot of un-special people right now'. I know what you're talking about.

I was put at a table at a wedding - the lovely single's table - as though the bride and groom think that they can simulataneously wed and play matchmaker! I was talking to the guy I was sitting next to, who was nice enough, or so he seemed. Half way through the night he turned to me and said (and I quote) "You're really pretty and funny and smart and stuff. Why don't you have a boyfriend? What's wrong with you?" I initially thought that he had to be joking, so when I said "I'm sorry?" He replied with " Well there's obviously something pretty wrong with you if you're still on the market". And he wasn't joking. I'm good with subtle humour. I didn't misread signs here. So as not to make a spectacle of myself I counted to 10 (all the time wanting to pour my red wine over his expensive suit) and replied with a very curt " Well, I do have one big problem. All the single men I meet are fuckwits like you. Please do me the favour of not speaking to me for the rest of the evening".
The most annoying part of the encounter is that he didn't seem to think that he had been in anyway offensive, and as such 'found out' what my problem was - I was a right royal bitch! Gah!
People's attitudes about women being single seems to be that we are social lepers. Or even worse, when other women think that the only thing that you want to do is steal their boyfriends! Because we are so desperate to be in a relationship we won't bother trying to find someone who's single, we'll just nab someone else's.
You are a legend. Be single and proud!

Ahhh, the happy couple that tries to put people together even at their wedding.... What a guy to ask that. I have asked that question to myself, what is wrong with me when all the guys i seem to like are gay men, but I have decided that I am just looking for a sensitive man who is in touch with his feminine side lol We can deal with the fact that I am a girl after I start dating him... I am in owe of your self control, that wed wine on expensive suit looks so nice!! hee hee

I am not the only one who gets that attitude from taken women! I can be talking really nicely to a guy who has a girlfriend and I can feel dagger eyes on me... Come on, if I am flirting, trust me I dont know I am, I have a friend who has told me, I dont do sexy, flirty etc, I do not excude sexiness. So really I am just talking to your boyfriend like a mate does!! I can not help it if he looks more interested in talking to me then talking to you about the latest dress at harts/myer/david jones O_O

Don't worry - I too have fallen prey to liking the occassional gay man and I'm with you on this. Instead of looking for the normal meat head, you'd like someone who is able to discuss something other than football and beer. I'm told that these guys exist, AND are straight, but they must be few and far between!
But you know what - it all seems like too much trouble searching for these elusive creatures - they are probably already taken, and locked up by their girlfriends who are scared that if they get out into the world they'll all of a sudden cease to be so perfect! Have a good weekend

fret not my dear friends, great guys like that exist and they're not all taken. i guess the frustrating part about them is they're so well adjusted they often don't feel the need for a woman in their life and are content to exist wonderfully as they are! the impudence!

all i can say gals is one day your princes will come... and mine will too! yay. and we'll look back on now and cackle in condescention at our past selves.

oh yeah by the way, keo lin... the next time someone says anything like that to you, tell me and i'll boot them in the head. all part o' the service, ma'am.

Hehe that was a fantastic article! Why is it people just automatically presume there's something wrong with you if you're single, that is so not the case at all! Like is it really that easy to meet men? Where???? Most you meet at pubs/clubs, are just after a good shag, and the rest that you meet anywhere else pretty much have the same thing in mind, I'm guessing they never grow out of the randy school boy stage. There is hope Teegs is right, there are a few, odd nice ones, out there somewhere, and one day we will come across them, and they will annoy us, and expect us to mother them, and we will look back on these single free days, and miss them, so enjoy!

you'd like someone who is able to discuss something other than football and beer.


There my favourite kind! Send them this way girls! Haha!

i thought about it too, except, a man and his appendage are the next best thing to chocolates. even made better when they (the man in totality, and not the appendage alone) are intelligent enough to have a relationship with.

Sorry to intrude on the estrogen fest, but I loved this article. People in our society are ridiculously hung up on romance as the be all and end all of existence. The same goes for guys. I am frequently asked: So do you have a woman yet? And yes after a time people decide I must be gay. Acually my last gf spread a rumour to that effect about me and told me to my face that she had worked out the reason I hadn't wanted to have sex with her was not that I was waiting for a very specific time in my life, but that I am gay.

There is more to life. One doesn't need to be in a relationship to be a worthwhile human being. A lot of people get into relationships because they think this is what will make them worthwhile and complete. If they don't actually feel that strongly for the person, if they don't have all that strong a connection with them (as in a connection that is formed in the mind, not the hips or even the heart) then they wind up feeling empty and can't understand why. Some of them then react by having babies to fill the void. This does work sometimes.

I also remember once being asked "Why not?" after I had answered that I didn't have a gf (though the person was not nearly so rude as the feller at that wedding, floozie). There's nothing per say wrong with asking that, but it does I think reflect something about people's attitudes to romance in Australia. No one ever asks "So, why DO you have a gf/bf?". It seems to be the "normal" state to have a partner or to be at least on the lookout. People never ask "Why haven't you been to Iceland?" or "Why don't you write a blog?" or even, "Why don't you have a great friend who you've known for ten years and who has the greatest chats with you you could ever imagine?". These aren't the important things in our society supposedly. And yet, I must say to me they are things I value the most. (I've never been to Iceland but I've travelled a bit).

The most important thing is to become comfortable with yourself. If you don't want a partner, don't let anyone tell you you should have one. There's no point unless you really get along well with the person. All of us have interesting minds and that's what we should develop.

sorry but I don't need a prince, just a reliable cock that comes with no baggage, no girlfriends, no exes and no wives! You all should read my article "I punched Frank today"
it offers a bit of insight into what I am up against here!!lol
