The question is an attempt to gauge the relevance of responses to other posts. Sometimes the current situation of the person responding is a direct reflection on what they post. For this very reason, i do not expect many to answer this post.
People can say anything about themselves on the internet. Don't judge by what people claim to be. Judge by the pattern of their posts. Are they usually insightful, or are they usually clueless? Do they use language that shoulders responsibility, or do they couch everything they say in weasel words?
Also, the way you phrase a question has a lot to do with the responses you will receive. The undertone of your question, in this case, is that people in relationships are somehow more "qualified" in your eyes. As a result, the people posting on your thread are the ones who "have the qualifications," since it's not a lot of fun to "admit weakness" on the internet.
I, however, don't accept your criteria. I've known longtime couples who were dysfunctional as hell, and longtime single people who were both wise and emotionally healthy.
To kinda-sorta-answer your question, a female friend recently said to me, "You want a relationship, but you're also having a great time being an ethical player." And that's true.
