Wrong. I'm doing this as we speak. I have too much to learn about myself and what I want in my life, let alone what I am going to do with it. I don't want to bring a woman into my life when I still don't have mine figured out; I only risk leading myself astray and hurting her in the end... which is what happened in my last relationship.
I believe I need to be fully confident in myself as a human being and as a man in mind, body, and spirit. Only when I've reached that plateau of growth as an individual, will I seek the further development that only a realistic, sensible, loving, and consummate relationship can offer.
It can obviously be hard sometimes... but as a guy who generally enjoys being alone, it can surely be worse. Furthermore, the types of girls I run into on a semi-regular basis only re-affirm my covictions that I'm not at a point in my life where I am ready for a very serious relationship.
I figure that the closer I am to that point, the more often I
should encounter women who are more my type... I'll have surrounded myself in a living environment more in tune with who I am/who I am becoming, and hopefully with people (i.e., women) who are the same!
...I realize I may have taken your quote out of context, but I felt like sharing my take on things
