Tell us one thing that is missing in your life

I recently got a raise and paid off all my debts
I have a fiancee who I love more than anything (and who plays Diablo III with me)
My friends are awesome, and I live in a kick ass house.

So if I had to pick something that my life is missing, it would be:

Diced tomatoes

I need diced tomatoes for my chili tonight, but I'm out of diced tomatoes. So my life is missing diced tomatoes.

A lot of these are the same thing said differently. Still, that about sums me up. I know that's more than one thing, but I'm a rebel.
 
Either a good girl or lots of money. I hate the feeling of being alone(single). When I'm in a relationship I'm always thinking that it would be nice to have more time to myself, but when I'm single I can't really enjoy it :/
 
Purpose and direction.

I like doing a lot of things, but I don't have something that I really want to work towards. Seriously having second thoughts about my major, as well as second thoughts about those second thoughts.
 
Close friends. I always subconsciously drive people away when they start getting too close to me. I don't even realize what I'm doing. Then I do it and I'm like, well fuck, I just did it again.

Edit: and a haircut

In general no one is living a perfect life outside of having a partner. Saying something like "a girlfriend" reeks of a desire for co-dependence or loneliness. Generally there are other things missing in your life, that are not a partner, that are the actual root cause of this.

I could be off base. I know back when I was extremely addicted to WoW and leading a miserable life I was convinced a girlfriend would pull me from the depths of my depression but it wasn't true. I had to fix some other things in my life.

Having someone to help you through these other issues could certainly make life a lot easier though.

Again, co-dependance. Simply a band-aid overtop a large wound. You need to learn to be happy with yourself until adding in another human being. At least I am of this opinion. YMMV since everyone is an individual.

I understand what you mean, but nobody is really living a perfect, or near-perfect life well, ever. Some people already do the right things like do well at their job/school, work-out, have friends, but just have no girlfriend.
 
Probably mentioned before, but...Time.

There was a time I was completely bumming, waking up at 11AM in morning and sleeping around 2-3AM at night. My classes were in evening, and I used to pretty much ace through them. Was living at my brother's place, so no rent. I played games all evening and all night, ate, wanked and slept. It was a glorious life of no burden.

Fast forward today. I fly on mondays, return on thursdays, wake up at 7 AM and sleep at 10PM. Mondays are the worst because I have to wake up even earlier to get to airport on time. Its even worse when I have to fly to either of the coasts or south. Heck and I got done married. Not enough time to catch a break, not enough time to play games, and not enough time for waifu.

Long story short: Making dollars is a bitch. It will consume better part of your life. Enjoy the little things I suppose.

Not saying it applies to everyone. For all I know you could be an extraordinarily happy guy who goes on a date a week with a new girl but just hasn't found "the one" that you're clicking with but in general I find the demographic for frequenters of this forum to not be in that bucket.

I'm saying there's people like that who can't even find a date.

Girls are everywhere. If you can't find a date the listed desire should be either charisma, confidence or humor. Or perhaps "realistic standards." I see a healthy relationship as a by-product of various other things.

I think looks come into play though as well.

Money. I wish I had enough of it now so I could never work again in my life and just be happy. Even if I sat around doing nothing every day it would be more fun than working.

This. If I had, say, $1 million I would just live off the interest and never work again. I would sleep late, work out, travel, read, spend more time with my parents, etc. Basically a simple life but without the daily time sink, added stress, and voluntary imprisonment that is work.
 
Confidence and being witty. If you have these abilities you can get everything else and it just spreads from there. I desperately wish I had them.
 
I need a job but apart from that I'm pretty ok.

All I do everyday is cycle while listening to podcasts and then read carl sagan books and watch mad men. It's been like this for a least 2 months now, everyone is calling me lazy for not doing anything productive but I feel like I'm already happy, if I got a job I'd be wishing I had free time.
