so in my last post i talked about my permanent state of singleness. this is something i've basically accepted about myself without giving a lot of thought as to why that is.  then i read this today and got to thinking.

for those of you too lazy busy to click the link, it's a blog post written by Atlanta radio producer Nina Brown about why she is single.  it's pretty long, but here are some examples:



I am single because I can be very stubborn. I refuse to lower my standards because of the shortage of available, straight men.

I am single because I have an obsession with swagger and I refuse to date a man who lacks it.

I am single because I have a zero tolerance for ignorance.

I am single because I will not sweat or stalk you, regardless of how fine you might be… I’ve got pride and a life.

there are many more reasons but you get the picture. to be honest, this list reads to me as less of a 'why am i single' and more of a 'why you should want to date me' but that could just be me. notwithstanding my lack of vanity, i tend to have a problem with people who toot their own horns too loudly.

anyway. like i said it got me thinking about why i am single. so i thought i'd share with you my top five reasons why i am single:


1. i don't think like a normal girl (in fact i think more like a man) therefore i don't behave the way normal girls do. men don't tend to like this.
2. i am too lazy to play games and am congenitally incapable of being coy. if i like a man, i will tell him i want to club him over the head and bring him back to my lair. this alternately scares and bores men.
3. i don't nag, yell, bitch, complain, beg, or beseech. i give men all the rope in the world and watch what they do with it. this seems like a selling point but is actually a negative. not too sure why that is - can someone please enlighten me?
4. i think it's kinda cool to be single and can't really see a lot of reasons why i shouldn't want to be.
5. i met the love of my life at 18 and no one i will ever be with will ever measure up to what i had with him.

those are my reasons. what are yours?
