Where have all the single-ones gone?

I have something to complain about, women. I have nothing against them in practice, and no more against them in principle than I do against most of humanity, however being male there is one major flaw I have found during my time at college. None of them are actuially single. Now I am a single man who has been outside of the dating lifestyle for several years now (bad experiences, don't ask) and have decided to re-enter the world of the not-so-single. The problem I have found is that no women are actuially single. They may say that they are, and they may not be dating anyone at the moment, but regardless they are emotionally attached to someone, be it an ex-lover, a guy who does not know they exist, or their perfect ideal guy who probably does not exist in the real world. It seems to me that by this time in all of our lives we have been around long enough to have played the dating game several times (I'm not sure if its more like that wheel show with Pat Sajak or Russian Roulette, but random chance is definitely a factor) and have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of what people are. The problem is, and this problem affects all people, we latch on to what we want to believe in and ignore the reality around us in favor of our own "better" fantasy. I suppose I can't entirely pin this one on women, as I am guilty also, but seriously. Most of the women I know are right now either engaged, already taken, or already mentally taken leaving only a handful that are actuially single and of that group I could count on less than one hand the number who are single and open to dating... Its a frustrating place to be in, and I guess based on it my final message to myself and all other twenty-something college women is, LIVE IN THE REAL WORD! I was guilty of this at one time but I however had a legitimate excuse having concentrated my college learning in folklore and mythology... And I lie to myself a lot... As an end note I have been told that it is an odd law of physics that single females are invisible to single males and vice versa (courtesy AMH), who'da guessed?
