How Many People ON The Forum Are Single Or Married?

I am curious to know, are you single or married? I'd like to see what the majority is here for the forum, because lately I've seen that more than 50% seem to be married...just wondering if there is a correlation there?


Edit: In this case "single" would mean that you are simply not married yet. I should have chosen a "better" term here, but can't go back and edit that now, so deal with it!

              Apparently some people cannot discern the difference between either being married or single.


              I didn't bring dating or engaged into it, because technically that is still not married. So either someone is married or they are not, and maybe I should have just put "not married" instead of "single"...which I may go and change now...

                I noticed that also.
                If you take your question literally (like I did) you can only be one or the other, so everyone on this forum would fall into either one category or the other.

                  Of course, so I want to know how many are married, and how many are not. Because I think that more are married than not, however the only way to find out is to have people answer the poll. And even then, I can't make everyone answer the poll, but I can at least get a very broad and general idea of it.

                    I would think more married also, but so far it's 2 to 1 for single.

                      I think that by listing my intentions, I have literally just somehow convinced many who are single to come and and say "ME ME ME...I'm the SINGLE one"! :confused:

                          Looking for a date with me? Has anyone paid attention to the general consensus about my attitude lately? I am sure a few warriors just puked in their mouths, at that idea.

                            So what are you saying?
                            You have a bad attitude because you want a date?
                            As for your avatar, I don't remember the other one, but I do like this one.

                However, being Jewish, I've written and delivered a get to my wife that divorces us in the eyes of God.

                So the state says I'm married, and the synagogue says I'm divorced.

                Am I single?

                  It is actually a very simple and inoffensive relativistic question, depending on who is asking me. If she looks offensive, them I'm married. But if she's hot then I'm not. Real simple. Legally separated, and loving it!

              I worked for a finance company for a few years, and in every application I took I had to mark either single, maried, or separated. It's like the third state of relationships - single, married or scarred by a previous relationship.. I think.

              I've been happily single for 6 months now. Alas, the spring weather has been making me think about doing it all over again. =P

    I'm single. I simply have too much to lose, etc... don't know who I can trust, and simply haven't met enough candidates. I won't marry just anyone.

    That said, there were times where if I WERE married, I could have done FAR more. In my first 2 businesses I was really somewhat successful, and they could have taken off if I had a wife. She would NEVER have had to work, and would have had at LEAST an upper middle class status. Pity.
