yeah being single in this country sucks, at times it makes me wanna listen to Closer by Joy Division and blow my brains out. but then i figure might as well stick around and stir up some s**t.

Chopper - that's the problem. Our society makes you feel like you're nobody without somebody. I found out a secret, when you are truly happy with yourself and being with yourself it doesn't matter either way.  That's worthwhile advise, because not everybody finds somebody to be with the rest of their life. So if you are happy with yourself and it happens, great. If not then great.

Because I know that being in a relationship isn't always the best thing, for some people it is everything they wanted but for alot of people they want to blow their brains out too.  money is nice, but it doesn't promise happiness. Relationships are nice, but they don't all bring happiness. Kids are nice, but they don't always complete yourself. We live by these expectations that these "things" will somehow make everything better. The grass is always greener on the other side.

hey Susan it's all good. i have a dark sense of humor that totally goes over wrong on the net. i was just referring to the frustration that the dating game puts men through in this country, and the fact it's just a pain in the ass to put up with american women's bulls**t and their unrealistic expectations of us.

i'm happy with myself but it's still hard to fight my biology. i appreciate your insight though.
