And I'm in a relatinship I hate... I told my therapist I was talking to a good looking stranger at the grocery and my therapist asked me if I got his number... Seems even my therapist wants me to get out..
Even those who are in a relationship know what it's like to be lonely. My boyfriend and I live basically in sepertate rooms. He comes home and I move to a different room...
You're not alone Jay. Not by far. :)

Yep - I'm here too. I do wear makeup most every day, and I have to dress business casual for work, but jeans on the weekend, but I have so many friggin' issues...
I am planning to get my MSW, tho', Jay...so we'd have that in common, eh?
;-)

You are certainly not the only lonely on this board. Sucks, doesn't it?

Good to see there are single women on babble. We lonely male babblers shower you with kisses and hugs and romantic poems and flowers. ( Only if you date us of course, LOL, JK) Please no Russian women if you read my other post, you should get a kick out of that. Just glad to know there are single women out there.

Hi Penny:Ya...it does suck majorly. I have no problem being around married woman...but just wanted to see if there where any singles still left! (lol) So, you work in an office during the day....what area of social work are you in if you don't mind me asking? (Is that what your undergrad degree is in?) I am working on my second Master's degree, this one in Education. I thought it would go well with an MSW, and would really like to teach on the college or university circuit. I did my MSW thesis on the Ethnography of Children in Poverty Attaining Post-Secondary Education.
Anyhow....so where abouts are you located? (haha..am I coming on too much??..lol)
Peace and best,
Jay

No makeup....hey we have something in common !!( lol..a long shot I know...heh..) Man, it really is lonely when everyone else is married. Among us 30+ year-old guys, it almost feel like being single is a crime! Do I EVER need to get out!
Anyhow...thanks very much for your post. I don't feel so lonely now. :-) Why do guys seem to be the ones so bothered from this? There are more women than men in this world (the last time I heard..) but guys see being single as failure...failure...ad nauseam. I guess it's the effect a woman has on a guy...it makes the spirit feel that much more complete. (If you are in the right relationship, of course!)
So......just my .02 cents...oh ya and what part of the world do you live in. (If you don't mind me asking?...heh..lol)
Thanks and best,
Jay

No Leo..I am not asking for a date...sorry..(haha!) Just kidding...my sense of humour keeps me alive at times. Maybe we need a new board.."Lonely Male Babblers." Sorry to hear about your Russian experience...that apparently is a major scam thing on the 'net. I know of a free dating website...if I recall it I will post. I have *not* had any luck...but it is something.
They say there are more women than men in the world...but it sure seems not so. Well...we have to march together bro, for we iz' hunting women! (My Elmer Fudd line...heh.)
Take care,
Jay

Hi JYL...
I am sorry to hear that. (Sorry I didn't get back sooner with email too...) I don't really know what to say, though, as I hate giving "advise" to someone married...just because I don't know what it is like, and would hate to mess anything up. Kinda like a worry about bad karma...you know?
Anyhow...I will be in touch..
Best and peace,
Jay

Hey...thanks kk. I imagine being lonely in a relationship sucks also. I am going to *really* try to improve myself...tone up and lose a bit of weight; go buy a nice new wardrobe;...I always wear nice expensive cologne (TSAR), and the women I used to work with where always all over me when the could smell the cologne around..:-) Man, I wish that had the same effect on *every* woman. ;-) I've got a few others..I like TOMMY, Eternity as my other two faves. I wish they would put "make women crawl all over you" stuff in them. :-) I've also seemed to have lost my spontaneous side, as I used to ask women out on a whim often. Now, though, my self esteem and this depression have taken a toll. I *am* working on it though...very slowly...but ya I am.
Anyhow...thanks..peace and best,
Jay

I dunno jay ... I think it bothers everybody equally. I'm not in my 30s (a little young yet), but I get a lot of social pressure to just meet some nice guy and settle down. (Mostly from my dad and the lady in the office with the active 3 year old -- maybe they're cynically trying to lure me into a parenthood trap -- run!!!!)
Same old concepts for everybody - i'm not good enough - i'm not pretty enough - i don't make enough money - i'm not charming enough - i'm not thin enough, etc
But then again i'm not really looking. If somebody grand fell out of the sky and landed in my lap that would be great. Otherwise, forget it! I'm a little young to be curmudgeonly, but I'm a curmudgeon and I have my habits and beliefs and I'm starting to set in my ways. I don't like many people that I meet, I tend to tolerate them. (Liking comes later I guess)
Anyway, I live on the Wet Coast of Canada in Beautiful British Columbia. Home of the heroin addicts and XTREME! sports heroes and rednecks and gay wedding planners and other assorted miscellany. Basically the fruits, nuts, and flakes of Canada. I'm more of a nut :)
ciao!
