Hmmm.... The first question is indeed loaded. It appears to
presume that being married at some point in one's life is the
normal or typical path. This is not the case. One can be (always is) a complete person with or without a partner. I guess old attitudes don't die easily.

Women are smarter and have better taste?

It's hard not to agree with that

Good old :) were still single though lol. I kind of like it right now. Holding out for that click. Found it twice hoping one day figure it will be my last so waiting.

I lost my love to cancer. Still single because i do not wish to feel the stark pain.

Widow too welcome to the threads. We also have one on widows and widower I get on some times. How long for you?

Why I'm I still single?

Some by choice and others due to circumstances. No one ever choses to be miserable and alone. We all want happiness, and deserve a little of the pie', I think. But the reason we, for the most part, are here, is because we are all 'looking' and trying to 'find' that 'possible one' that will complete us. Gee, we could be staning in line at McDonals and our perfect flower is standing right beside us.

Since we are all different, like a beautiful garden with all sorts of color and smells, we tend to look for that flower that suits us best and will look good on our mantel (heart). Weather I have not found that garden or past on by that flower, I don't know. Maybe! But I still keep on looking knowing there are lots of gardens with lots of beautiful flowers out there. I guess, I'm picky, I'm looking for that girl, I can be truly in love with. Yes, that one that I can gugu-gaga over for. The one I want to be with, all my life and deeply be in love with.

As men, we all are warriors and providers and for the most part we tend to lean on those that want of our God given talents like Providers, Caretakers, Lovers and Mentors. So we keep seeking (hunting as you will), and as true men, we don't give up, unless we chose to. Me? I'm on my 10th. Pair of shoes, still seeking gardens and smelling lots of flowers....lol. Oh yes, still staning on line at Mc Donals and looking over my shoulder...lol.

'May we all get, what's coming to us'. And may my flower, “Sleep with Angels” tonight.

Welcome Viva enjoy the threads. That was a nice read. Miss a mans man in this 50 50 world. :)

Welcome viva.

Yeah he was in assisted living for a year before he past. Had to monitor his meds or he would way over do it. Didn't know what I would come home to was hard. My dad died of cancer it is hard. My husband had Muscular Dystrophy.

People say it will get easier. It does not! This last year i had kindy cancer, i fought, the drugs and treatments won.

wish i could spell!

This is a nice write, and I like the comparison.
But to be honest, at this time of life I'm rather into evergreens. Flowers change with seasons, and I find it very hard to cope with. Evergreens don't change too much anymore, they are just what they are, no pretensions with a wonderful bloom that soon will fade, just the reliable shade of a green roof.

Nice pic invisible,

How are you feeling today?

Just like a true smile!

Not that good I have to admit.

I would have liked to stay in bed, but with Monday looming it was just not possible.

I'm glad that you didn't come in yesterday to send me to bed.
I would have called you a spoil sport for that.

And tonight you don't have to, I'll be gone early.
