[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think it's kind of a crap shoot.  A lot of people find someone.  Some don't.  And unfortunately, there is not a lid for every pot and not everyone finds someone.  A lot of folks stay single.  How happy you are single is partially up to you.

I'm one of those people.  I'm 47 and a single parent.  I dated a fair amount when I was younger, including several longish relationships.  I don't have any weird deal-breakers, but I didn't meet many people who I could see marrying because I couldn't see them holding my interest for a lifetime.  I have a lot of friends and I'm not lonely, but it would be nice to have a partner. But other priorities tend to get in the way of finding one.  It is hard when you're not model-pretty to meet men naturally in your 40's, and online dating can be time-consuming.  (and very discouraging at times, to hear my friends tell it.)

I agree with OP that it's not just about looks.  That said, my very attractive friends do have a lot easier time meeting people, but online and in person.  So the advantage is there.  I don't know you, so I can't say why you are single.  I have often thought that certain people should maybe teach a master class on finding/staying in relationships.  I have a number of friends who have literally never been single for longer than a month or two, and I feel like there might be something they know that we single people don't know. [/quote]
