While you all may want to live alone, I don't. I'm still searching for Ms. right.

I'm kind of sold on the thought that if I no longer look, it will come to me.

I couldn't say I want to -- it's just that it seems like a.) that's the way it has to be, regardless of what I want or don't want, and b.) there doesn't seem to be anyone out there who is even remotely compatible with me.

It's like -- no matter how many times I jump off the roof, gravity is going to pull me down to the ground. No matter how I might wish otherwise. I can't change it; might as well stop jumping off the roof.

women are naturally more social from very young ages. relationships are a very integral part of them naturally.

men are also social of course but in a different way
and to a different degree. examine natural behaviors of
play in young girls versus young boys.

I think(my opinion, no one get angry) more men (not all) are looking for instant gratification. When they don't get that, they start to give up.

In general, there is an amazing amount of women in the world who will get up on their women's lib soapbox proclaiming that they don't need a man in their lives to be happy, but they fail to realize that it's a two-way street. A sad misconception on their part.

I've lived alone for quite a few years. I'm just about resigned to that is how it will be for me. I'm trying the dating thing but I have to tell ya...it's pretty much bull sh*t. The guys I've meet want the instant gratification...I tell 'em to go hire a hooker.

I just met a guy and the first "date" was ok...but I swear if this guy turns out like the rest have then I'm going to get a bunch of cats and become a hermit....hermitette? lol...you know what I mean!

It's not just men...I'm sure lots of females feel the same way as I do.

Hopefully this won't morph into another "cynic" thread, buuuut...after reading about a ba-zillion posts about dating & relationships...LDR's & booty calls...blah, blah, blah...it seems to me that men are more apt to resign themselves to living their lives alone...(& I'm not talking about the guys who are actively searching for a mate...no need to try to defend your gender...puh-eeeeeeze!)

Why is that, I wonder?

Odd, I had always heard it was men that had difficulty living their lives a lone, and why so few stayed single after divorce. It was actually women whom I had heard tended to stay single after divorce, assuming they were financially fit.

I don't know, but I think you may be on to something there.

At this point, I pretty much expect to live my life alone -- nobody wants a writer, huh? -- but wouldn't mind being wrong about that -- as a pleasant surprise.

For me, it's really about what's happened in my past relationships (most of them, anyway) -- when you find yourself more alone in the relationship than you were before it, it's time to pay attention.

On another thread, I put it this way -- I'm willing to give up the dream in order to avoid having to live through more nightmares.





Very well said Lex. There comes a point when you been involved in one disaster after another that staying home alone seems like a reasonable option.

If someone great happens my way that would be excellent. If not, I'll be content to stay by myself. I've had much worse company than my own.

I just think feel that I'd probably be better off being alone- probably a mix of exasperation and exhaustion, with a great deal of depression thrown in for good measure.

Because they obviously havent found a woman who could "suck the chrome off a trailor hitch" yet.

If they did...

they wouldnt be able to "so easily live without it".

Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but I've found quite a few of those in my life.

That was never the problem.

It was all the other stuff.

Believe me, there are things way more important than chrome-sucking -- to me....
