What follows is a rather amateur Poem, excuse it please, and don't flame.

Time runs slow,
my heart beats cold,
my life is empty,
and it's there to show.

Am I the only one,
feeling so lonely right now,
or am I the only one,
not enjoying life or having fun?

It's becoming so heartbreaking,
for me to see,
people in love,
except for me.

My time is spent lonely,
and I don't know why,
I try my best,
but I end this with a sigh.

   Am I the only guy feeling lonely and alone out there at the moment? It
feels like it, no matter what I try, I still am alone. I try being myself
but it brings me no luck.  What am I doing wrong? Surely there is some girl
out there who can accept me for who I am, and not expect me to put on some
Macho guy image, thats just not me.  I have so many friends, who are girls,
yet whenever I want to get into a relationship with a girl I meet, they
just want to be friends. I guess I am just not the sorta guy that a girl
wants to get involved with.  It gets me down.  Can anyone offer
suggestions?  I am also just to scared to go out and ask a girl to go out
with me, as Im scared of rejection (like the few I have had)

Please help...

The Unwanted One...

No, but we are all human. Even Nice Guys [TM] can have a bad day, and
may act like quite the 'wanker' sometimes. Was something bothering this
fellow? What exactly did he do, anyway???

I know it's tough, and you have to wade thru a lot of cow patties before
you find someone you really get along with. But, not all men are jerks,
just as not all women are other choice words I can think of.

 It's not just safe.  Maybe this sounds antiquated, but it's also a matter
of decency and honor (open marriages notwithstanding).  If two people have made
a commitment to each other, then, if you're displeased with the person you
have committed to, break the commitment.  More often than not (I'd think) it's
easier on everyone involved, than it is to sneak around with someone you like
more.

This guy must be taking some kinda fish hormones but he does have a goood  
point!  Marriage isn't a committment to be taken as lightly as these "open  
relationships" make it to be.  You don't marry a girl just because you  
love her,  (you move in with her and get close to her then),  marriage is  
COMMITTMENT!!!   Yes that includes sexually.  This is why many of us  
bachelors are still bachelors because we actually believe marriage is  
committment and we just can't commit.  However,  I do see how marriage  
could be just a convienient set up for a couple and they don't care  
whether one sleeps around or nothing.  I don't think we should call this  
marriage.....rather how about "welded"  instead of "wedded".  Then instead  
of MWM seeking sex it can be WWM seeking sex and we'll all know where the  
guy stands with his wife.

From a Utilitarian standpoint:
almost certainly unethical (assuming the sum of happiness has thus decreased)

From a Judeo-Christian standpoint:
unethical/immoral

From an Objectivist standpoint:
not unethical

From a Nihilist standpoint:
not unethical

From an Existentialist standpoint:
probably not unethical (depends on who you listen to)

From the standpoint of Kant's categorical imperative:
unethical (one can never be sure, though)

From my standpoint:
mostly just thoughtless

you're probably right- However my main objection was that he assumed my

Take a hike, bitch.  You're about as bad as the "Old Jessica."  This guy
has his desires and preferences.  Someone else may prefer women with
short hair, or green eyes.  I prefer women with dark eyes.  Problem with
that?  Get a life and stop criticizing people's ads.

I have to agree with you here.  I've lived in the woods for 10 years,
and it's masochistic to go walking through the woods in shorts and/or
light shirts.
