Why is it that all of your female friends & female relatives are
always trying to get you to "meet someone who is perfect for you"? Is this something that is in the genetic makeup of females, that they just hate it when they know a guy that is happy with the way things are?
They see a happy guy and say to themselves. "This is no good. He should be with a woman and be unhappy just like all of the other married men. If other guys see this, they may want to be the same way".
It's not like we would not be happy sharing our life with someone. Being natural hunters (Darwinism at work here), we
would just prefer to do it on our own and in our own timeframe.
OhOh! I see some guilty faces reading this!!!!!

I prefer not to set anyone up. I hate to be responsible for things if they don't work out, and you know if you set them up, somehow you'll be responsible!

One problem with that one...the assumption that married women want the single men to be as miserable as the other married men. I think a case can be made for married women wanting happy single women to be as miserable as they are also.
Just MHO.

I'm with Cyn, I've never set anyone up in my life. Too much liability! But, I think it would be kind of fun to BE set up... ..

Thats funny Cyn because I have been set up before, and believe in every sense of the word. I didnt blame the person who did the matchmaking but I learned very quickly not to submit to it again.

I'm assuming you are kidding about what you feel the reasons are for wanting to fix you up.
There is no reason your friends and family would want you miserable in a relationship. Could it be, they think you are a fantastic person, know you would like to meet someone special, and wonder why such a great guy hasn't yet met anyone?
My family and friends try to hook me up too, and I tell them, "No." They don't seem to know my taste.

A wiser head than mine once said, "If you want someone to hate you forever, sell them a car, find them a job, or introduce them to their next spouse."

I was set-up last year by my mum's neighbour... she's a family doctor and set me up with one of her patients. To be fair, it wasn't a bad choice on her part and I dated the woman for a couple of months, but it didn't work out. Normally though, I hate for someone to try and set me up...

I'll blame someone the day I'm put a gun on the head and asked to do something.
Yes, family and friends set me up with guys they think would be good for me. The rest is up to me. Of course, not everybody will think the same.

ray you think all married men are unhappy?
maybe your single because there is Something wrong with you so why would i want to set you up with one of my friends?
you do know SOME men drive woman to other woman
do it on your own time frame?  some men dont know their ass from a hole in the ground and if a good woman walked by they be what do i do with that ???
THINK ABOUT THIS !!!!!!!!!!!! a woman brought you into this world that is why you will always need a woman in your life doesnt have to be serious but there is something about a woman that any man needs to be around us
ok i spoke my mind

all depends on who is setting you up and why. I had an ex, who things didnt work out with, and we were both alone and miserable, so we set each other up. Was really cool, and his choice was excellent. He knew me so well and what I was looking for. As far as female friends go, never. It's like they're just trying to give you their leftovers, or that crazy guy who wont leave them alone, so they dump him on someone else.

That is a pretty unfair way of wording your question, especially when its directed to women in general. You shouldn't use the word "female" when making a general statement, in comparisons, or in gender specific questions such as yours. It makes them a tad bit angry. Also it doesn't help your search any. And did you ever think they may have thought you would be happier with a partner to share your time with?

You shouldn't make assumptions. Maybe he is single because he wants to be or hasn't found the right person.

Some women don't know their ass from a hole in the ground when they see a good man either. Instead they take the woman beater with no future other than a jail cell with Bubba as a room mate.
THINK ABOUT THIS !!!!!!!!!!!! a woman brought you into this world that is why you will always need a woman in your life doesnt have to be serious but there is something about a woman that any man needs to be around us
THINK ABOUT THIS!!! A woman may have brought you into this world, but she didn't do it without a man. So if you want a family, you need a man to help get you started.
To raykl and LongLegsandaHeart
Man needs woman, woman needs man. Do you see the similarities? Making general statements based on gender and making assumptions shows your lack of respect for other individuals. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but this much I know.. Men and women are just as guilty as the other and Respect is your best asset.
Happy Hunting!

Don't worry ray, I didn't assume you were a bad person based on your post or at all for that matter. I was just stating how using gender in a specific question or statement can make you look bad. If you read my post to LongLegsandaHeart you will see I did stick up for you. But LongLegsandaHeart appeared to take your post personal which is a perfect example of misrepresentation.
Happy Hunting!
