For the record I'm a black belt in Karate.
I just don't beleive in using what is supposed to be self-defensive, in the offensive. Hence my motley crew of weapons, cattle prods, and mace.

...I really wish they'd teach logic in schools again. Maybe then people would realize that "aggressive women" aren't necessarily "repressed" in any sort of way... nor are they necessarily waiting for the "right guy" to come along and sex them up.
I hope I'm never in a fight though. I've forgotten most of my self-defense stuff, and I'd likely have to fight dirty to survive.

Self defence and street fighting pretty much is fighting dirty. Karate (what the OP is trained in) is of little help in practical situation. It's better than nothing, but when it comes to a fight, balls, eyes, throat, all fair game. If you have a fight and one person isn't following whatever 'rules' that particular self defence program had, you'd lose. Also, given how it is possible for you forget, likely means it was overly complex to begin with.
Heh. "Overly complex"? I don't think so. And besides, the style includes many techniques that go beyond mere punching and kicking. The creator/founder of the style learned a bit of Aikido and Judo as well, and mixed all his experience into one art of his own making. He's from Okinawa and literally fits the description of "Harmless, Four-Foot Old Man"... including the part where he's not harmless at all. =P
There may be other styles that are easier or simpler. Yet I still want to go back and get my blackbelt. Perhaps I will once I get a good-paying job again.

^this.
I've been told im insecure and that im "not really a blackbelt" because my dating preferences always leaned toward fairly skinny guys who i could easly "take" if bad things happened on a date. Karate works if your in an open place and can do more serious combat. Most guys however will grab and bind the arms, if you cant remember the weak points from your training, never fails to go for the balls if you can.
I am well versed in my practice but Karate isnt about kicking tail, its about learning discipline to avoid fights. Id rather mace someone in the face than resort to my training, for some reason even if it could be used in the situation i feel it would dishonour the training to spar with someone who was merely street fighting.

In their defense, a lot of women probably want a dangerous man, even if they wouldn't admit it. Someone a bit wild and tough is naturally attractive to women, despite the fact it often leads some to choose guys who will abuse and use them.
Nice guys will always finish last. It takes a real man to be dangerous yet know how to be gentle as well. I hope I can be that sort of man someday, and soon.

I think people . . . not women, not men, people . . . don't really know what they want. They can tell you whatever they like, they may even be able to back it up with experience and track records . . . but they don't really know what they want. And they very likely don't know what they *need*.
Do I date? No. Have I ever dated? No. Do I want to date? Hell no. So take this all with rock salt. I can't stand myself, let alone another person getting almost as close to me as myself. I judge it not a loss at all, honestly.

I think that's a key problem, yes. People don't take the time to know what they really want. They either go chasing every little thing that offers some kind of relief or pleasure, or they try to push their desires down until they either go crazy or become cold and distant. There's very few who sit down and try to ferret out what, precisely, it is they want. There's a lot of deep desires buried under mere whims and fancies. It takes some good soul-searching to figure out what our real desires are.
As for you dating, I applaud you for that wise decision. If you don't love yourself, it's very hard to love others. Until and unless you can get to a point where you like your own self, it's probably best you don't date. Though you'll forgive me if I try to encourage you to improve so you do like yourself. =P I like to see people get better.
