To whomever it may concern:My previous comment (as well as this one) was left by automated spamming software. I just took a look at some of the sites that it hit and I see that it seems to have left comments in inappropriate places that made the comments themselves seem pretty damn insensitive. I just wanted to clear up the fact that I never actually read any of the posts and I’m really not a horrible person – It was all done automatically by a robot that left a comment on a bunch of blog posts that contained the phrase “my life sucks”. I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone – I’m just a spammer who was trying to get links to his site.If you haven’t already, you should probably delete the original comment, along with this one.

There are many more single women than single men in New York City. Hundreds of thousands more single women than single men. I am moving to Silicon Valley next year.

Take a look at these:

You said, “I know several single men–black, brown, white, tan–who are smart, educated, attractive, and financially stable who want to be in long-term relationships.” WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! I actually KNOW you, so why haven’t you hooked me up!??!?!?!?! :)

Hmm…I know several single men–black, brown, white, tan–who are smart, educated, attractive, and financially stable who want to be in long-term relationships.
Of course, I also know single women in the same boat…

So the challenge, I think, isn’t that ratio we hear so often in the media–the number of single women versus the number of single men– but in finding that one person you really click with and want to share part of your life with.

# SINgleGIRL: Hey lady! :) I love men; I wasn’t stating an opinion about “there aren’t enough men in NYC”, I was talking about the city’s actual demographics: http://funkybrownchick.com/images/national-geographic-singles-map.jpg

@ Urban Diva: Couldn’t agree with you more, it’s EASY to date here. Just a bit harder to find the righth guy for “me” (i.e. I’m done with the short-term, shallow rels.)

@ ieishah: I’ve never lived in Italy, when I lived in the UK and Holland, I traveled throughout the Italy and I speak a tiny bit of the language. I used to have a weird fetish thing for Italian men.

@ Chuck: Okay, this get’s back to my “Who’s Single Life Sucks More?” post: http://funkybrownchick.com/2007/08/21/men-vs-women-whose-single-life-sucks-more :) And, I’m with you on keeping hope alive!! :)

@ Jason: Yeah, I think we’re on the same page! :)

@ Lee Lee: I don’t think it’s about age, I think it’s more about how bitter we do or don’t let ourselves become. I was waaaaay more optimistic in my teens. Good news? I’m less naive. Bad news? Sometimes maybe I’m TOO untrusting.

I feel the same way as you, but I don’t live in NY. Although I do live very close to NY. My issue is this. I remember guys throwing themselves at me and stalking me like a celebrity from the ages of 14-19 when I hit 20 it all stopped. I’m now 24 and don’t get me wrong I still get male attention here and there, but not nearly as much as before. They used to literally gawk, point and stare. Now, they just pass me by. I want to get back how it use to be and wonder why guys no longer fall at my feet. Was it I was less experienced and just having fun and now I’m older? I have been single for a long time and wanna know what the hell happend to all the men in my life and why more aren’t knockin down my door like before? anyone know the reason?

I understand the feeling. I have been single for a long time(5 years) and most of the relationships I have had with women has mainly been about sex. I mean the sex is good but I can give myself my own nut and sometimes it’s even better but what I would miss is the passion and the connection and high that I would get when I would get from being with a woman. I started to realize that I wanted to maybe be in a relationship or just have a connection with a woman. Sometimes I just want a woman to lay in my bed or just come over so I could be touched or to touch them. I am very receptive to touch and vibes and stuff like that so I try to gain that from women. The problem sometimes is that when I do that with women they think I am trying to further some kind of relationship with them which is not always the case. I am just super-affectionate.
