The way I'm feeling about men at present moment, I could care less if I'd ever get it again. Men and trying to establish relationships with them are emotionally draining, and sometimes I wonder why I even have a desire for them. I'm better off just dealing with my kids, family and friends and that way I know I won't be burned by men. Well, not to say family and friends won't and can't burn me.
Although I voted (and it's obvious what I voted for), I'm bitter right now so my vote probably doesn't reflect true results.

Are we including...ah... 'self pleasure' here? If that's not allowed, then I voted 2 months. After that I think I'd go a little insane.
If that's allowed then I could probably go a good few years at least. I'd then mostly just miss the personal connection with another human being.
I understand how you feel. I seem to attract certain types, and they are all wrong:
Jailbait- The under 21, while not illegal, still living with Mom and Dad, still in school (community college if I'm lucky, high school if I'm not), and unemployed
Cradle Robbers- The older than my dad, dirty old men who just want a piece, on occasion married or unemployed
Taken- Girlfriend, engaged, or married, not interested. My current favorite is one customer who tried to convince me he was single, divorced last year. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention he tried to do all of this while still wearing his wedding ring?
The Terminally Unemployed- These are the guys who cannot and will not hold a job for anything.
And of course, my favorite category
The Nutcases- Everything from Post Traumtic Stress to a nervous breakdown at the age of 28, suicidal tendencies (well hidden, didn't know until after I dumped him) to mentally and emotionally abusive control freaks. My ex husband and last two boyfriends were in this one. The good news is that I'm finally learning to spot them.
Needless to say, I've kind of given up on the whole idea of dating. The closest I even want to get to ... involves a certain pink bunny.
I have felt that way before, trust me.
I thought of that later.
I posted this yesterday while What Women Want was playing in the background.
Oh, you forgot one category that I'm seem to be experiencing more of these days ... no offense:
The Hue Heffners: I'm 38 y/o and I am the least bit attracted to men over 45 let alone 70+.
I had one elderly man who was appeared to be in great condition ... had to be at least let's 70+, to approach me yesterday at the carwash. He was in awe with my "beauty" as he puts it that he just couldn't get himself together. The man was not taking no for an answer so I had to give him a fake number. Now you know that wouldn't fly with the younger guys because they would call the number standing next to you. He definitely had his "mack" game on but I'm not into "suga daddies."
And again, this morning in service, this older gentleman, again in late 60s, just couldn't take his eyes off me. He asked if I was a visitor because he never saw me there before. I don't typically go to the 8:30 a.m. service so to him, I was fresh meat.
Now, if only if my beauty can overtake the younger ... what a wonderful world it would be.
Hi cl-shywon,
I'm in the "I don't care about dating mode" right now either. But early last year, I dated a few (or more)guys. They didn't last for more than a month, or less,.. actually. The girls I work with scolded me for not abiding by the "3 date rule". They said THAT was the reason some of them never called me back for another date, because I didn't "put out" within 3 dates.
I told them I don't abide by rules! There's nothing saying that I am a loser if I don't want to have sex with them in 3 dates, or 3 months, or more.
Well, one of THEM chicks I work with is pregnant (gee the 3 date rule?) and the father is no where to be found. WOW, She sure GOT HIM didn't she?
I'm not saying that pregnancy is the only thing that's going to happen.... I'm saying that the guys that blew me off because I didn't "put out" within the first 3 dates, and disappeared, weren't worth my time anyway.
Seriously, I'm in a mode that I'd rather invent a new jelly or salsa than to play the
sex-o games.
To cml7721: the longest I've gone is 7 years. I'm IN
