Single women

well if you prefer that single women reply, whats the point of a poll...you know the answer =P

I find completely the opposite is true! I'm single and I'm finding so many gorgeous single blokes around that I don't know which to go for!

I agree that they're all attached, gay or losers OR lovely but your best mates/you would never like them as more than a friend

So, being 'gorgeous' and a loser are mutually exclusive things? And looks serve as a measure of a man's worth?

Hmmmm, I sense a potential generalisation; the statement implies that all single, heterosexual men are losers. I think a lot of single, heterosexual men would disagree with this. This is just one of the (very many) stupid, irrational, cliched things that women say, and, in this case, it is so obviously said as an excuse for their own singleness (i.e. "I don't want a man, any way; all the available ones are either gay, or losers"). Yeah, any man who can't get a woman is obviously a loser; women are just that damned good at snapping up every single non-loser (even the non-losers who finish in their relationships aren't in between relationships for a nanosecond, obviously). The terms 'stuck-up', 'illogical' and 'deluded' don't even begin to describe it. The phrase is merely one of many that puts men down, as a means of excusing women from blame and inflating their image.

I suppose it could be argued, with a certain rational, that there are an overly-proportionate amount of losers in the 'single' category (i.e. women perhaps being less likely to go for 'losers'), but then, it depends on how you define the term; there are an overwhelming number of arseholes who have phenomenal success with women, any way, so it makes you wonder.

And, Christ: this obsession women have with gay men; the statement suggests that gay men are really significantly less likely to be losers. I'm as non-homophobic as they come, but, hell, take off the rose-tinted spectacles, please. And obviously, it hasn't occured to whoever said this that perhaps some men might choose to be single (i.e. they're seen as ideal boyfriends, even, but are pledging celibacy, for whatever reason). Obviously not: men need women that damned much, after all.

Very insightful, and a common attitude: finding a guy lovely, but insisting they remain 'just friends' (as if warm friendships shouldn't progress to something more....). A self-destructive attitude, overall (speaking more generally, but using the above as an example); a consequence of which sometimes being referred to as 'The curse of the nice guys'.

And, yeah: I realise that the statement in question is probably not to be taken literally, but still, I believe there's sufficently a low amount of truth in it, as for it to be labelled 'utter bullsh*t', and for those who utter it to be labelled 'utter morons'. I think that, going by this 'logic', you might as well state that 'All women are either gay, attached or losers.'

To be fair I think to an extent it was a joke. We were in the company of about 10 guys, and I think she was winding them up. However, I was just curious about this.

yea ive seen her type before, they try and brush it off as a joke but deep down, they believe it and are a bit crazy!
