When you are single and people tell you,"There are plenty of fish in the sea." Are these
the fish?

Eh, I'm more single by choice or anything. Or just personal problems. I can get decently cute looking women. Just have a hard time developing feelings for someone.

If that was the kind of "fish" I could only get, I'd rather be single for life. That is a funny image though, lol.

I do find fish creepy. Remember going to the zoo with my parents as a kid.. and always feeling disturbed when we went to the aquarium tunnel section. Also birds.. beady eyed little monsters.

I agree, somewhat.

I agree insomuch that my potential dating pool is EXTREMELY limited. Partially because I am a very picky person and am unwilling to settle on things like values, ethics, and morals. Partially because I'm just not what appeals to most women. I'm handsome but have no confidence. I'm in excellent physical shape but it's obvious I am uncomfortable in my own skin. I'm intelligent but difficult to talk to because I don't make 'small talk'. The pool of potentials gets smaller and smaller.

So yes, there are plenty of fish in the sea, but catching one means you have to have something the fish wants or desires or finds attractive.

I have figured that since God made women just as He made men, that every woman has something that I can find interesting. Thus I can enjoy some time with her. Quite a few I'm attracted to. When I was young I had a very narrow view of what a pretty woman was, but realized I could broaden that to include a lot more women. Later in life I found that I could become attracted to women more for her personality than her looks. After all great conversations over a broad range of topics just adds so much to my life.
