why are you still single?

this was the msn quiz of the day. i pretended like it was for a girl.

It may seem like every guy except you has a committed, caring relationship with a woman who loves, trusts and respects him. With this kind of attitude, it's easy to see why single guys occasionally wonder why they're still single, howling the question at an uncaring sky. The question is "Why am I single?" but really what guys want to know is if they're merely unlucky or if there's something wrong with them. Take this quiz to find out:

1. When you go out dancing, you usually:
• Bust your funk with confidence (Score = 1)
• Show off at least reasonably accurate moves (Score = 2)
• Gyrate your hips while waving clenched fists in the air (Score = 3)
• Lurk at the bar and feel self-conscious (Score = 4)
• "Dance?" I do not "dance." I would twist my ankle. (Score = 5)

2. When considering why your last few relationships ended, you are generally:
• Honest and rational about the reasons, good or bad (Score = 1)
• Somewhat bitter, but Rome wasn't built in a day (Score = 2)
• Capable of at least some self-deception when assigning blame (Score = 3)
• Announce to the world that you were the innocent victim each and every time (Score = 4)
• Put on a Nine Inch Nails CD and curse all women (Score = 5)

3. The last five movies you saw were:
• Cold Mountain, Love Actually, You've Got Mail, Ghost and Under the Tuscan Sun (Score = 1)
• Elf, Paycheck, The Last Samurai, Master and Commander and Mona Lisa Smile (Score = 2)
• School of Rock, Stuck on You, The Cat in the Hat and Teacher's Pet (Score = 3)
• Star Wars, Scary Movie, American Wedding, Bad Santa and Torque (Score = 4)
• Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings and Lord of the Rings (Score = 5)

4. When asking a woman out on a date, you usually:
• Smile and say, "would you like to go out with me? Say ... Friday?" (Score = 1)
• Smile nervously and say, "would, uh, you know, if you want to, you know, go out?" (Score = 2)
• Take at least a week to muster up the courage (Score = 3)
• Take a week to muster up the courage and then take three sedatives before doing the deed (Score = 4)
• Hand her a note with the request, then run away as she reads it (Score = 5)

5. When it comes to personal hygiene, you:
• Brush, shave, shower, sculpt, buff and dust (Score = 1)
• Do miss the occasional shower, but always brush your teeth (Score = 2)
• Have been known to wear the same socks five days in a row (Score = 3)
• Haven't cleaned your bathroom in more than a month (Score = 4)
• Haven't cleaned yourself in more than a month (Score = 5)

Now total up your score and consult this chart to determine who's at fault — you or fate:

0-5: If you're single, it's neither for lack of trying nor any glaring flaws. Lady Luck just doesn't seem to like you — or, more likely, you haven't been single for long and probably won't be.

6-10: You're a pretty normal guy. Being single is a short-term situation for you, and the current run of bad luck probably won't hold. Keep it up, and be sure that your lonely nights don't allow you to slip to the next rung.

11-15: You have a few off-putting quirks. It's nothing that a little self-improvement can't fix, but your luck could stand to be better as well. Patience and tenacity will get you through in time.

16-20: You might want to consider dance lessons, anger management, broadening your cinematic horizons, building some self confidence and cleaning your filthy bathroom. Lots of men out there fall into this category, but you can't just blame bad luck for your unhitched status.

21-25: It's you. Lady Luck (being a lady, after all), took one look at you and threw her hands up in despair. You have a simple binary choice: Either work to conceal your shortcomings from potential mates, or resign yourself to bachelorhood. It's possible that you could be saved, and maybe claw your way up into the 11-15 range or even better, but it's going to require a lot of work.

16? oh. that explains it all. thank YOU msn.
