You have probably heard the term "they look so cute together," many times before. But what about those guys that never seem to have that going for them? What about those single men that portray the characteristics of eternal bachelorhood?
Although some men are destined to a life filled with many women and a constant array of dates, others have a different path through life where they spend it without the company of a lover.
Will I Be Single Forever?
How do you know if you are destined to go down that path and remain single for good? While this checklist should give you insight into the possibility of never finding everlasting love, only time will really tell.
Go to the movies alone
Are you the type to enjoy the latest Steven Seagal movie by yourself at the theater? Although your cinematographic choices should be questioned, this shows that you like doing things alone and don't mind engaging in activities on your own.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't enjoy a good movie by yourself, but making a habit of it might be an indication of what lies ahead.
No thanks, I'd rather be with my buddies
Going out with your buddies is probably the ultimate test of manhood, but turning down a date with a good-looking woman to spend time with your posse is an evident indication that you prefer being a bachelor.
I don't care how important you say your friends are; going on a date doesn't mean you don't like your friends as much, it simply indicates that your priorities (and your hormones) are in the right place.
Just think about it for a moment. What would you rather do: spend the night at home with your drinking buddies, play poker, watch the scrambled network, and exude machismo, or go on a date with a voluptuous blonde that smells as good as she looks?
The decision is yours... but the answer should be obvious.
She's not my type
Do you prefer blondes or brunettes? Skinny or plump? Tall or short? No matter what your preferences are, chances are that you are never satisfied since you always wait for the next best thing.
The problem with always waiting for something better only increases your level for approval, inversely proportional to your level of acceptance. Remember that there is always somebody better out there, but that doesn't make them better for you .
Every woman has flaws if you look close enough, but if you continuously search for defects rather than qualities, you're going to ultimately find yourself by yourself. Ah... words of the wise.
Refuse blind dates
Your friends know by now that you have a very strict checklist that any potential date must abide by. They have probably tried to set you up with women you should be attracted to.
Will you go so far as to turn down a date that is handed to you on a silver platter? If you answered "yes", add another check to the possibility of becoming the dreaded eternal bachelor.
Strip club vs. the real thing
What do you attribute more value to: a strip club or a real, tangible date? Don't get me wrong, I think strip clubs are the best thing since KY Jelly, but you have to put things in perspective.
Many of these beautifully sculpted women parading in front of you at the flash of some green would not be caught dead in public with you. But "conventional" women would probably line up for a date with you, if you would give them a chance.
I'm happy the way I am
Being content with yourself is not a bad thing in itself, but it might hinder any possibilities of finding a mate if you don't see the need to better yourself.
When's the last time you went to the gym? Exactly. This works like a vicious circle; you say you don't meet anybody, so there is no use in training and looking better. But then again, women might not want to go out with you because you let yourself go.
Take care of yourself, and good things will come your way.
I like people, but...
Although comfort zones are easier to maintain, breaking out of your shell is a more arduous task in itself. If you believe that people, especially women, don't like you, then you might develop a paranoia in regards to all women.
When that happens, you might opt to keep to yourself and push away potential dates, all due to a preconceived idea. Get over it and open up. You'll thank me later.
I'm a mamma's boy
There's nothing easier than blaming all your problems on others, and I have seen this happen one too many times. Some guys have overprotective mothers that only want the best for their sons, and wouldn't want them to settle for anything less than the best. The problem is that settling for nothing but the best tends to provide nothing but a lonely, bitter road.
I don't know what to do with myself
Are you the type to call up your friends for useless reasons to fix up small details about next week's basketball game? If that's the case, you probably have a lot of time on your hands, which indirectly implies that you are not too busy calling women and planning dates.
Maybe if you put more thought into asking out that cute redhead from the video store (where you rent your nighttime entertainment), you would keep busy, and not necessarily with yourself (wink, wink).
Your Score
How did you fare on this personal checklist of bachelorhood? The purpose of this article is to give men a deeper understanding of their personality when it comes to relationships and finding a girlfriend. Or, for a more short-term approach, get a date.
So if you believe you are heading down that road, get up, shake it off and get yourself a little black book!
