Analysis of Single male



It is a scary time to be a single male
When all you Wana do is meet someone from the other sex
And I don’t don’t mean talking by email
Or talking by text

We all suffer from a lack of a connection
Where sensation is resigned
to a single pleasuring session
in isolation where I hide
And now prying away from procrastibating
I’m heading outside
and trying to get back to dating
A brand new mission statement
But these days it’s hard to start a tantalising coversation of interest cause it’s been so long I find girls to be alienating
And I look like a fool
Or at least the kind fella you don’t wanna wake up to
Take a year off and then boy it’s back to school

It’s a weird time to be single
You only want to mingle
When you hear your phone jingle
Only time you should be like that
Is when you’re bed bound with shingles
Or something else or that sort

Girls also hate that I’m short
But I make up for it with my bank….
My humour,
Back it up with my heigh…
My kindness
The worst thing about me is my t…
My shyness
And I’m also a cunt
And my mother likes this
