"Why are you still single"

[Marcopolo]

As a guy in my mid thirties I am starting to get this from girls, in fact, one I was just chatting with asked me this exact question. I honestly don't know exactly what to tell them, obviously it is a sht test. Just wondering what a good response to this is.

I just say I haven't found the right women yet. It does 2 things. The first is it makes it sound like you wont settle and they have to try and keep you and the 2nd thing leads to getting laid that night. I have never had a women ask me that though that wasn't into me so maybe it's different if it's just a random chick making small talk.

I say that as well. For those reasons, and because it's the truth.

We should always be prepared to answer these kinds of questions all the time. The whole point of the beatch test isn’t the questions, more the reactions we present after the unexpected question. Also the information she can gather from our answers. Which is the best way to knock a man off his feet.

When asked, why your still single, is as good as asking “are you that bad in relationships?” considering your age, while telling her “I haven’t found the right woman” is as good as confirming to her how bad you maybe in relationships.

The best answer shouldn’t ever relate to her ponderings, which was actually a relationship question. You might answer “Not focused on women at the moment!” or something simple and not obvious as “I haven’t found the right woman”.

I remember I was once asked “are you great in bed?”, as funny as it may sound, it was the type of question that may reveal my sexual nature. I remember my replay “I’ve had to change my cell number twice”.

"No one has qualified yet".

This shows confidence, bravado, and lets her know that you intend to involve yourself only with quality women.

Watch her start to qualify herself within 60 seconds of telling her this.

Translation: I am into you and I want to sleep with you but I need to make sure you're not some heartless bastard who's going to make me feel used.

You can have a lot of fun with this one. All you need to do is be playful. If you give her a serious response like "I'm searching for the perfect woman" you risk her interpreting it the wrong way, and she may dismiss the thought of being with you.

Pretend you don't know what she's asking. "What do you mean?" "I don't understand. What are you asking me?" She'll either keep pressing or get embarrassed. Eventually you can tease her for flirting with you. Which is exactly what shes doing. Women don't ask that question if they have not had at least one thought of bonking you.

How about "I have a low tolerance for bullsh*t"?

"Maybe for the same exact reasons YOU are single. And I'm assuming YOU are single. {smile}"

In the states, you're better off having three divorces and a rap sheet than be over 35 and never married. I've had many divorced women play the "why haven't you married card to me," which is odd. I ask them why did they get divorced ... sudden silence.

I never take advice on dating or matters of the heart from women, and I only take advice from smart divorced guys (there are some on this board). Multiple divorced guys and gals playing the "why aren't you married" card is hilarious. That's like baseball player with a career batting average of .172 giving hitting lessons.

HB: "So, why are still single?"

V: "Because I'm not married?" *looks at her like she's completely stupid*

HB: "Very funny. So, why aren't you married?"

V: "Uh... because I'm still single?" *looks at her in disbelief like she's brain-dead*

LOL! An all-time classic!

Hot Babe: Why are you still single?"

VU: "The moment I KNOW I've met a woman who makes the IDEA of being married to HER more attractive that beings single, is the day I'll think about getting married."

I usually say that I was busy traveling the world and living life to the fullest (which is more or less true), and now I am ready to settle.

Did she then ask you who's on first? LOL


Thanks, there are many and varied responses. The last answer(above post) is as close to the truth for me, that and it just seems that yesterday I was 25 and I am now wondering where the time has gone. I do take having a family and children seriously and want to be ready for it. I asked her back and she said that all the "bad boys" as she put it just use her and all the "nerdy" guys bore here, then I started joking with her about the way she classifies guys like this, and so on. Whether or not that was the right way to proceed, I dunno, I just decided to have a little fun with her and tease her about the kind of guys she dated just for the heck of it.

Mr.P: I like sex too much! All my married friends say sex becomes less fequent once you're married.

She probably won't ask you that question again.

I have to disagree with you Sun. I think if you say that, it will show one thing to her; arrogance. I don't suggest a defensive one either (reference to Latinoman's).

The original responder has the best answer I think ("I haven't found the right woman yet"). A humorous one, like Mr. Positive listed, works too.

I would say that I dedicated my 20's to myself; I was focused on college, traveling, and my career............. I'll meet the perfect woman soon enough.

It's all in the delivery, my man. I can easily get away with this without even a hint of offense. Your mileage may vary.

Replying with "I haven't found the right woman yet" is so predictable and AFC that I shudder to imagine those words ever leaving my lips.

Women absolutely light up when confronted with imaginative, ****y and humorous answers to questions like these. You must remember that it is crucial to reverse the qualifying process.
