Actually you're still single because young males increasingly are not courting you and asking you to marry them. Statistically, 70% of males aged 18-34 are unmarried and half polled stated they intend to never marry in their lifetimes. Both statistics (unmarried and intention to never marry) are increasing rapidly. Soon it will be 80% unmarried and then 90% unmarried.

The primary reason for it is has to do with the enormous liabilities males incur upon marriage (up to and including garnering a life-long criminal record and incarceration in the nation's penal institution if they became sick or lose their job and cannot make the court-ordered payments anymore when you divorce them), loss of liberty, and radical decrease in the benefit to males of being married.

Not to pop your bubble but the reason you're not married isn't esoteric or mystical. It's statistically explained in scholarly studies by organizations such as the Pew Research Center.

The New Left have dramatically changed matrimonial law and culture since the late 1960s and most men do not want to live in what now amounts to a state of perpetual forced indentured servitude to someone who left them with the government micromanaging their finances and life and the justice system hanging the threat of a criminal record and incarceration apart from their children after their wife files a no fault divorce (which she does more than half the time). The benefits are too little and the liabilities too great under today's matrimonial body of law and men are simply refusing to become ensnared by it.

That's WHY you are single.

Just a bundle of joy aren't we?
 
I'm a teenager and a young christian. I need to focus on my relationship with God before I can start any other relationship. Also, I think it's best to wait. Most guys my age are after one thing. I want to have a godly relationship.
 
I did choose to be single for that exact reason! To grow closer to God. And also....most guys my age are kind of perves anyway.
 
I'm still single because i'm too funny looking, or maybe its because I look like the terminator, or maybe I run too fast and the single ladies cant catch me. Oh no wait its probably because I like to fill my bathtub with spaghetti sauce and roll around in it pretending that I am a giant meatball.
 
Strange I should happen across this thread tonight. Just today at work I thought about "this is why I'm single." A certain person at work wanted me to do a certain task. I was quite busy at the moment but determined to attend to it when I could. This certain person proceeded to announce the task repeatedly.

I came this >< close to saying, "That's why I'm not married. I don't want to be nagged until I do whatever my wife asked me to do. Ask me to do something, fine. Nag until I do it, not fine."
 
"Honey would you do the dishes?"
"Sure."
*pause*
"Well, aren't you gonna do the dishes?"
"In a bit. I'm busy with this."
"Fine, I'll do them myself."
*insert fifteen minutes (or however long it takes to do the dishes, plus about ten minutes) of loud, pointed complaining about how tired she is, how easy it would have been for me to do the dishes now, how unimportant whatever I'm doing at the moment is, what an inconsiderate clod I am to make her do the dishes just because I don't want to do them...*

If you want it done NOW do it yourself. If you want me to do it I'll get to it when I get to it, which will probably be as soon as I finish what I'm doing right now - probably less than an hour. Either way, kvetching doesn't make me do it sooner and irritates me.

And that is why I'm still single. Well... one of the reasons.
