Dressing like a 5-year old so some nice lady will take pity on me, adopt me, and upgrade my wardrobe.

Ahhhhh now it all makes sense. While you are pretending to ditch your car that is when you have the guys check the oil ;) We are on to you and would so like to say that such antics would never work on any guy, cause we are like way perceptive. However, since I am in Christ now I have to put away lying so I can't say that.......LOL So I will use my right to remain silent and only further add I can neither deny nor confirm if your wiles will work.
Truth is it always works. Whether we want it to or not. ;):whistle:

Some days, I know I need to check my oil, but I just don't want all the attention, so I try my best to make it home.

Other days, I know I don't need to check the oil, but I stop in serval public places and pop open the hood anyways...jk...lol:p

- My home decor is welcoming, but not frilly
- I don't decorate for every season or holiday
- I buy family-sized meals (or family-sized portions of food) that last me several days
- I don't separate my laundry, barring any special washing/drying instructions
- I don't have to worry about who's got the best sushi, wine or chocolate
- I don't say "Hi honey, I'm home!!!"

- And I sleep with two body pillows.............. :p

Signs you're single...

The idea of living in one of those big utility buildings from home depot sounds good!

Some guys have foo-foo clothes that you can't just throw in the washer and dryer.

I of course have no such things. All my clothes are strictly "Toss in washer with laundry detergent, toss in dryer on high heat (because I forgot until the last minute so I need it dried FAST!)" But I've heard of some guys who have really fancy clothes that you can't just wash like you wash normal clothes.

No. This is purely hypothetical. :LOL:
Too late...

Cat's out of the bag, now....

Next time I see a man with a transformer or teenage mutant ninja t-shirt on, or a cute little bowtie...

I'm gonna know he's on the prowl...;):whistle:

LOL:p

On the not-so-bright side:

One sign I am single is, I am the default person to stay with Grandma in her declining years. She needs someone to be here 24/7 and since I'm a single guy I'm elected.

Not to complain, but I'm gonna complain: I can't even get a single flipping day free. I've been wanting for a WHILE now to pop down to Chattanooga on a day-trip to check out a McKay's (really big used book store) music selection. Everybody else in the family is always too busy.
Lynx, Could you take Grandma on a day-trip😀...maybe she would like the drive? 🦋

Last Christmas Eve, I visited a church for the 1st time where nobody knew me. I sat down on the end of a row with empty seats beside me. I was asked a number of times if my wife was sitting beside me. All I could say was, "No, these seats are not taken." Maybe I could have said, looking but not found anyone yet lol.
Another sign is going to a restaurant to have a table for 1. Often asked, "is anyone going to join you?" Sometimes I get a table sooner than a family of 4 lol.

I think that's a sad commentary on just how unthinkable it is for many people that a single guy would choose to go to church on his own. It's a very rare thing for me to go to a church and sit alone and be asked if my husband is sitting with me. But there was one church I visited that had a sunday school class for women who attended church alone because apparently that's a much more common thing.

That sounds pretty sad too.

Were they not allowed in the room with the "grown-ups"...o_O...I mean married folk?

Well most of the other classes were roughly stratified by age. And visiting the alone on Sundays class it wasn't even necessarily single / never married as I think there were some widows, divorcees and a few whose husbands just didn't come to church. But I just never liked that church, but then I've had issues with liking church for over half a decade now so I don't know that it was anything particularly bad about that church.

Just seemed a little odd to me. I've never been to any church where they split people off into groups like that for Sunday school.

Seems like having a women's group and a men's group would be okay, but distinctly splitting them off into married vs. single groups during regular church meetings just seems odd to me.

Looks like if they wanted to do that, they would have special groups that met at different days/times throughout the week.

But hey, what do I know? Guess, they have their own reasoning.

Honestly these days it seems like a lot of churches don't do any adult sunday school at all, which is a shame because that' s a great way to help people connect in smaller groups while at church.

Blasphemous, everyone knows us men folk are of the highest order and honor bound. In fact any guy that says something with a wink and a smile, especially that smile that says the cat just ate the canary. That guy is totally trust worthy ;)

*Lynx raises a paw.

Our church still does. And yes, it is great for exactly that.

This is funny but true.......

There are definitely things that have changed since meeting Mrs Gandy :) I have to shave my beard. This December was the first time in a very long time I actually grew a beard (and she liked it :p ) but I shaved it of before going back to work.

There are many other things but love is funny ol thing. You do what you have too :coffee::giggle:
I did that once...
Shaved my beard and face clean.
My wife looked at me like I was a stranger with her husband's voice.
She had a difficult time looking at me until I grew it back.

Had this been a few years ago, this might have convinced me.

Let's just say...I've learned a thing or two about those sneaky little winks and smiles.;):)

Still not an expert though:

So, Trustworthy?!?

Maybe...maybe not:unsure::whistle:
