9 year relationship ended 6 months ago and I don’t feel like getting into new one anymore.
I was married til I was 38 (now 48). Got divorced, kids were grown, so I dated. A LOT. I’ve come to the conclusion that if you are single after 40, you are a basket case. EVERYone that I dated was crazy. Fun, but crazy. I’m just too old for that now. lol. I’d rather read books and hang out with my cat. And yes, I realize people probably think I’m crazy too. #crazycatgentlemen
Because I haven’t mastered mitosis yet
Nearing 40 in an area with nothing but old rich people, currently renting one of their garage “apartments.”
Atypical “introverted nerd” type, as in I work in a factory as opposed to the tech field, and am never around people like myself.
On a 1-10 scale of appearance I’m like 2.5
But worst of all, my greatest possible sin, I never want to live with a dog. According to the dating profiles I see that eliminated 99.9999999% of them.
As to why I’ll continue to be single aside from all the above, I gave up ~2 years ago. My last relationship was 10 years ago. Some of us just aren’t desirable to anyone and I just have to accept that.
I’m married, but it’s a lot of work.
There are definitely pluses and minuses, but not being lonely is a big plus.
Happiness is transitory personal thing, and marriage and/or life partners won’t change that.
I agree with u.
Everyone I asked for partnership said no
How many have you asked? You might have to up those numbers
Cause I got married. It’s not that different from being single.
why?
At some point all the fun stuff from a new relationship dies down and most of it just turns into a drag. The deepest conversations you’ll have are about what to eat or whether you’ll be home at a regular time.
I know this is not the case in all marriages but most of them that end in divorce are merely because it started as something fun, marriage seemed the next logical step and then you’re sort of locked into it, longing back to the excitement of getting to know each other. Being single is pretty much like that unless you never meet new people you have a fun couple of weeks with before never seeing each other again.
