It's nice to see High Score Theory in action here...

- 48-year-old female here, been single for nearly 20 years. Serious trust issues prevented me from pursuing anything after my last relationship
- 38 [year-old] female here. I'm pretty much the same. I have not met anyone worth changing the way I live for.
- I gave up years ago.
- I'm close to forty, and I don't have the time or inclination to put up with people who half-ass their relationships or don't want to take responsibility for things in their life that need addressing.
- 30-year-old here. I've been divorced for a year and a half now. Right after the divorce, I decided to get myself together before dating again. Since then I've dated a few times but I haven't met anybody that I've wanted to continue dating.
- I always tried to make others happy, now it's my turn.
- For me, it's a combination of being picky and not meeting anyone that I really felt like was on the same page as what I was hoping to get out of a relationship.
- I'm single because my child's father abandoned us
- I was quickly and only briefly married

All these women are alpha widows. They're all met "the one" and fvcked up the relationship somehow, whether it be choosing the wrong man or behaving like a demanding and unfeminine creature that no man worth his salt wants to put up with. They're all now expiring in their looks and ability to make (more) children, so they're trying to pretend that they're happy being single and missing out on their "soulmate".

Moderate social anxiety doesn't help, though I do put myself out there from time to time.
It's like, yeah, it might be cool to have a boyfriend.

These two chicks are ugly and probably got used a couple of times for just sex. As with any woman, they want that confident, funny alpha male. Because they're ugly, they were unwilling to settle for the betas who will happily and desperately date ugly chicks. They may have been used for sex a few times, and that's about it.
