“You watch too much porn”: 10 reasons why… you’re (still) a single man

by Martha De Lacey

Emily Hartridge, fast becoming the Marmite of YouTube, has offered followers yet another wry explanation of the state of the world in the form of her 10 Reasons Why… video series.

This time Emily asks ’10 reasons why…. you’re a single man’, and they include being too nice, too boring, lacking in ambition and drive, and watching far too much porn.

Following last week’s home-spun movie (which looked into why women remain single), this time Emily recruits the help of her friend Dave, explaining that girls don’t want a wet, needy pervert, and instead look for someone with a bit of independence, get-up-and-go, and interesting conversation.

On her latest YouTube video, Emily Hartridge gives 10 reasons why you're a single man, and they include watching too much porn and being too niceOn her latest YouTube video, Emily Hartridge gives 10 reasons why you’re a single man, and they include watching too much porn and being too nice

Emily begins her video explaining that being too nice can turn women off, saying that men who are polite, kind and generous often end up being walked over by potential dates.

(She adds that she herself, however, favours a man who errs on the side of pleasant, and doesn’t understand why girls tend to, as a rule, go for idiots.)

Next up Emily says being too much of a ‘way-ey, man!’ lad can repulse women who really just want to be with someone they can understand.

Thirdly, you’re acommitmentphobe, a factor Emily says is obvious but often the case. The fourth reason you’re a single man oculd be that you spend too much time watching porn, alone, and perhaps shocking your lady-friend when she catches you doing it.

Though Emily says most women don’t insist upon being with a man who is swimming in, a distinct lack of drive and ambition can be unattractive – especially if you come home after a long day at work to find them sprawled on the sofa in their pyjamas watching Cash In The Attic.

Men who are frighteningly keen are also a big no-no: Emily’s advice is not to repeatedly telephone a girl just five minutes after you’ve met her and tell her you’re free to hang out any day for the rest of your life because you have zero plans… ever. Play it cool.

Calling a girl five minutes after you've met is a bad idea

Don't call a girl too much

A boring man is a single man, says Emily, so good conversationalists are always more likely to find a willing partner than someone who tells you the same story over, and over, and over, and over….

Perverts are also likely to remain on the shelf longer than men who don’t grab a woman’s breasts on the first date, as are men who are too picky and too shallow. That said, a bit of confidence helps – men who are too shy will have trouble finding someone willing to date them either.
