on being a Dreaded Single Guy


having read many many profiles over the years, it never ceases to amaze me how much hostility is directed at the single guys. there's a heady melange of "without a<b> pussy </font></b>you have nothing to offer", "you're solo so you must be a loser", "single guys are all rude so fuck off" and a vague sense that all single guys want to steal your women.

uhhh....no. well, at least not always.

some of us actually like it better this way. once upon a time when the wife and i played together we tended to gravitate towards couples (for symmetry?), but we could never agree on who we liked. she tends to like guys like me, i like women like her...but women like her don't like women like her, so we never found a match. (heh, does that make sense?) and generally speaking we prefer twosomes, threesomes or bigger groups - foursomes just never worked for us. so we've gone our separate ways in this regard, and it's been better. but that leaves me as a "circumstantially single" guy. and as a dsg you really need to be in a certain frame of mind to live with without going insane or getting totally depressed.

fortunately, i like to myself that i've reached a certain level of maturity that i don't take rejection personally. definitely not at the intro email level - i know most of the people i write to are probably buried under emails and might not even get around to reading the deathless prose i fling their way. most don't even bother to use the quick "i'm not interested" reply because they are sooooo busy. (really now, would it kill you to have a smidge of courtesy?)

unfortunately, it seems that many of the dsg's poison the well for us all. i read the lame emails blog (_purplepassion) and some of those emails are stunning. are so many guys so totally clueless? (oh wait, we got tons of those emails when we were on as a couple - yes they are.) guys, do you *really* expect to impress someone so much with a half-line message demonstrating that you haven't even read their profile that they'll find you irresistable? ai yi yi. stop it! stop ruining it for everybody, and frustrating yourself in the process! but most of all, stop ruining it for me!!!

1 in 4??? LOL!! I wish! It's more like 1 in 25-30.

As to how many men I need, I haven't decided and I reserve the right to change my mind even after I've decided LOL

Good blog entry! From my perspective, I get a LOT of mail from solo guys.... unless it's a decent email, I hit the "thanks I'm not interested button" (which is just common courtesy..... c'mon girls, how hard is it to do that???). However, even a well-written email gives me pause these days because frankly, just how many men do I need? LOL

There may be some women who want to bag as many guys as possible. I, on the other hand, want a couple of men I see regularly. In my experience, sex is so much better when you have time to get to know one another--and that takes multiple sessions.

You're right, tho, that jerks ruin it for guys like you. But, don't give up.

thanks! what percentage of emails would you say qualify as decent? i remember it as pretty small, maybe 1/4 at most. which is just amazing, really. but then with the non-responsiveness of most of the email recipients it's semi-understandable. if you expect your email to not even be read, why bother to put any effort into it at all? that's just so...defeatist.

so how many men *do* you need, anyways?

i'm not trying to bag as many women (and couples) as i can either. who has that kinda time? i'm perfectly happy with a little breadth, and more depth to each experience. it's safer, and much more emotionally and physically satisfying. i like partners to be friends, and can't do that by skipping from one to the next all the time.

i don't have enough sense to give up.
