I've been single for ages and with all due respect, I'm a great communicater, decent looking, socially aware, hard working, I dress well and am a good all round person. I also have a great sense of humour and am a paid stand-up comedienne - I'm thinking that could be an off putting thing for guys for a number of reasons including: making people laugh is a form of power; it can be quite an intimidating position and maybe guys think I have no emotions apart from those i display on stage. Can people help me out on this - am I on to something? do you think this is a factor in why I have been a single female for soooooo long? Thanks for your time, really appreciated.

I think the problem lies in the lack of ability of most professionals in your field to draw a distinction between show time and other times...at least the ones I know!
They continue to dispense one-liners even when the situation warrants seriousness and this is definitely a put off.
There is a time for humor appreciation and a time for reflection,deliberation etc.

I think your job might have something to do with it. You must be a strong and confident woman, and you probably find the humor in situations where typical women would start sniffling. You also have a job that a lot of men might wish they had...more glamorous than being an accountant or a desk clerk.
But keep at it! You'll find the right guy!

I think it's most likely more the attention that you are getting since most guys like being more 'center stage' and if u r busy getting attention then you are not paying attention to him..and neither are others. Someone that is very confident in themselves will come along and see you for who you are and appreciate it rather than resent it. Good luck and in the mean time..be happy knowing you are strong, attractive and funny. If guys don't see u as more than a friend or funny person, than it's their loss.

Well they say to catch fish you have to use the right bait.Hows your bait, not your opinion,ask others what you really present to the public.They will tell you.And another saying goes,they only run when they are being chased.Have you been running after someone.Stop then they will too.Listen being single has a lot of good points too.Try having a friend with benefits, then see what happens..Good question.

Your right, it's an intimidation thing. And your probably not getting the kind of confidant man you need. From everything else you described yourself as, you sound like quite the catch! Good luck!

Well, I give you two thumbs up for being who you are, you obviously are a strong woman and sometimes that intimidates men. Men like to feel like they are superior even in relationships. They don't like to get intimidated, and especially not by a woman. People used to tell me I was intimidating and it was becausee I was very opinionated. Maybe that's your case. You see you have to separate your job from regular day life sometimes. Not easy to do but once you do that you'll notice differences. Men also like to make woman laugh maybe they think that with you they don't stand a chance caus you'll be funnier. But I'm sure that the men that gets you in the end will have a blast with you. Cheers. :O)

Some guys may have a problem with that but if you are happy, continue doing what you're doing, the right guy will come along, don't change who you are for anyone! Some guys may be intimidated by your outgoing nature, but it's you...trust me, he'll come along...Good Luck!

No no no at all... guys like funny girls.... maybe u act in a way that u want every body to note your cleverness.... which is not good... being smartass is something bad whether you were male or female...
by the way, who keeps telling you those stuff, guys don't fear strong women, on the contrary we like them. what we hate is opinionated women....

no, maybe your just not meeting people. try meeting more people and such... i mean u see fat ladies with husbands and stuff, you just gotta find teh right person. and fat people are a turn off for others too, but doesnt mean it has to be a turn off for everyone.
