If he's so good why is he single

We've all seen it before....he's tall, intelligent, attractive, well dressed, and seems to have the world at his finger tips. He's a part of the local big brother program, has an outrageous sense of humor, and is a regular church member. This guy is an absolute dream, the perfect gentleman on campus, and surprisingly he's single. That's right single and very available! There's just one thing, if he is so good and so great, why is he single? Before you start to speculate that a man this great probably has a questionable sexuality issue, think again. There are many guys on this campus who have the same reasons for being single as women do. Not to mention the fact that men are as equally pressured by society to find a female counterpart as much as women are. According to Askmen.com "no matter where you look, from movies to magazine ads, men are always being told that they need a woman to be happy. While the company of a lady does have its bonuses, there are benefits to flying solo as well."

Many young college men on PV's campus believe that if a relationship should happen to evolve seriously between him and the woman he may be dating then they would gladly accept it. Such is the case for juvenile forensic psychology graduate student Hershel Owens who says, "I think every woman is a gift from God, unfortunately I just haven't found the one with my name attached to it. I'm not really single by choice it's just that that special someone hasn't been given to me yet."

However, there is a guy out there who simply enjoys "playing the field." A junior male communications major, who wishes to keep his identity concealed says, "For me, bachelorhood is a safe zone because I don't have anyone in particular to answer to. All I have to worry about is juggling the girls on my team so they all think they are the only one."

It's clear to see that most men who appear to be the "crŠme de la crŠme" are in fact single for the same reason women are. They simply enjoy their freedom from "mate obligations" and sing from the trees of male independence as well as women do. For the guys who like random play with random woman, a lot of women like the same. So if she's chic, smart, and got it all together, there is a brother out there just like you. He's just not looking for you at this time.
