Eternally disappointed...
My trouble is that I've always had high hopes for my life, my career (well, other people had that), etc. When I was at school I thought I'd just do the normal- college, uni, meet someone, get married, work a couple of years then give up and have babies. Ultimate goal: to have babies and stay at home and look after them in similar fashion to my mum (yes, I don't mind cooking and cleaning, yes, I did get top marks in my year at school, no that's not a reason why I am letting down all womankind with my ambition).

What has actually happened: much depression, some horrible men, two degrees and lots of debt, a fairly ok career but with no motivation to progress, and am as single as it is possible to get. Pfft. I am not hideous and am not horrible. Maybe I still have some shred of standards, that might be my trouble... either that or I am still a bit scary.

You could be writing about my life. Harrumph.

Nonsense.
Finding just the right person to suck our your soul and destroy your will to live is a major task and requires just the right person to show up in your life and ruin it. Cheer up, you'll find him yet!

Yes, I was being sarcastic.

Looking at your profile picture...
That is surely surprising...

Standards
Standards seem to be their own punishment at times. Neither's scariness!

On behalf of a crowd of nutcases...
*puts on Voiceover Man voice*

Single?

Need some flirting with fellow b3tards?

Then come and join the merry throng in one of our chat threads.

It's pure nonsense, and you can just lurk if you don't want to participate. But you'll be sucked in, and soon become addicted!

Well, I thank you all.
I don't get it either.

And my standards aren't THAT high, anyway.

(if there are people on here who know me, no jokes about my former taste in dreadful men, please).
