delightful conversation

It's impossible for you to live a nice peaceful quiet life without stress?
Loneliness is when you'd like someone with you but can't find anyone who wants to spend time with you. That's a totally different thing from not wanting to be bothered and lied to by anyone who isn't interested in your person. And besides, I haven't met anybody without anyone unless they themselves chose it that way or they were a hopeless bum... Not saying there aren't hopeless bums out there. There are, and they're Men in overwhelming majority.
What I'm talking about is simply the ability to be alone in a room without feeling the need for company or feeling like a reject. Contrary to what the media have been pushing on the subconscious of the masses, there is nothing wrong with a man wanting to live his life being single, unmarried, virgin (why not?) and free from the invasion of feminism in his life. Although it is close to unavoidable to be confronted (and disgusted) by the constant denigration of Men in our society; the media, academia, politics, the Arts and in the workforce, one can still choose whether his days off are going to be spent walking on eggshells in the company of the easily-offended, self-entitled, opposing-gender know-it-all feminists and their clique without a clue or spent enjoying his time and own company as he sees fit.
Being alone does not mean being lonely. A lot of men need to learn that one.

I agree that meeting "the right" person is good and not bad...

Wow great point Rooster. I had a girlfriend illuminate my mind to the concept. She said.. You must realise that you can live alone. But living alone does not mean you are lonely. You must make peace with the fact that you live on a planet of beings, people and animals, insects and plants, enteties and spirits. We all live under the same sun. So, you can be alone, and not lonely! Thank you Native studies teacher Nancy Ann Rodriguez.

Well duh,,, its in your profile! Marriage?!? Or do you expect to pay for one? ;^)

I have a man to thank for the idea that alone isn't lonely. Unfortunately I have to respect his privacy and not name him.
I also thank Ms.Rodriguez, Robby. I'm sure she slipped a few other pieces of wisdom you are sharing with us. Not to take anything away from your own genius of course

gets you off the couch and out of your comfort zone
it give you time to practice such things as conversation and manners
forces ya to stop taking selfies and put that phone down long enough
to sit across the dinner table from someone new

You think too much.

Meet a woman, go out have a good time and good conversation, some laughs and let the rest fall into place.. or not fall into place.

When you over analysis... you are missing the point.

Yeah, OP. Don't think so much. Dive right into it and reflect upon your errors later, when it's too late

It gets boring cooking for one.

Women tend not to eat as much as men too, so when she leaves a bit of steak or something, you can finish it for her.

Win win situation.
