Have you ever felt like you are the only single person in the world?

Yes! All of my friends back home are happily with someone. And me being the shortest guy of them, I all know they effortlessly found their partners, as well. Like, the way they talk to me, they make it seem like getting a girlfriend is like going to 7-Eleven and buying a bottle of water.

And you know what makes things even worse? When WOMEN complain about being single! Literally no woman is single involuntarily. Women usually want men who are perfect in every single detail and willing to treat them like goddesses instead of just a good guy. It's aggravating! I won't sound like an incel or anything here, but I'm being real. No woman alive is single unless she chooses to be, so complaining about it is like farting in my face, and rubbing it in. (And no, that's not something that would "turn me on.")

I do go back and forth about being single, though. Although I would LOVE to once again have someone who loves me for who I am and can provide me with companionship, understand, support, and love, I know I'd be wishing for an illusion, at this point. There's no woman out there like that for me. Women like that don't exist (for me, at least). So if I ever did get in a real relationship with someone, it'd likely be more trouble and headaches than it's worth. True love is a fairy tale. And most of the guys I talked about do complain a lot about their partners, while also claiming they're "happy" with her. So I don't know what to believe anymore.

Right now more then ever. But I’ve been in relationships in the past. I know what it’s like in that scenario. It’s got it’s advantages and disadvantages. But my life is my life. None of your fucking business on why I’m single.

I've personally disassociated from people who have put me on the spot about this (sometimes rudely) especially women. I’m real fed up with then assuming dating is the same for guys as it is for girls. When all else is equal it sure as hell isn’t.

Personally I think we should have a new rule where it’s rude to ask someone if they are in a relationship unless you are interested in them.

[Asker]

You so right!

Often.. in my own little 'world'/bubble of people I hang out with. I have always been single and all my siblings and closest friends are in relationships more than 80 % of the time, so that is just how my life is like.
Mostly I do not have negative thoughts about it, but it hits me sometimes where I feel very lonely and fear I will never get to experience that. I feel uncertain that I will, but I mostly accept this thought and enjoy the perks of my single life :)

I don’t remember ever being single. My first and only relationship was when I was 14. Now 24 and still with the same guy. Sometimes I do wonder what life would have been like to have experienced things alone. I think being single is nice because you have nobody to answer to. You can make instant decisions and not worry how it will impact anyone else, even if it involves moving to a completely new location spontaneously.

Oh, yes. There was a time when some friends and I spent the weekend out at a cabin together- all six of them were dating one another (three couples, that is). Being a seventh wheel is usually less painful than being a fifth, because it's rare that everyone else is in Couple Mode, but when they are... ouch.

[throwsomecheeseonit]

No but being single for long periods makes you weird you say and do things you would not normally do. Maybe the horniness maybe loneliness. But because of this you further alienate yourself and stay single longer. I think that is why for anyone with high sex drive to just have sex get out a system then search for right match.

[HawkPerception]

Every fucking day. All my friends are in relationships. When I go on solo hikes, everyone's a fucking couple or with their damn family making me feel like it's me against the world lmao

[InferiorElegy]

Yes all the time, but I know I'm not, I just feel so lonely.

[Asker]

Don’t be lonely

[Asker]

You are great

[InferiorElegy]

Thank you, but I'm not great but it was kind of you to say.

[ChrisMaster69]

That was me in 2020 lol.

life’s like that you have bumps in the road.

you are to an extent responsible for how your life goes, some is sheer luck, some good some bad

[shygirlie_xoxo_]

Yessssss very much. I am feeling that right now. That's why i am here answering to strangers and asking questions to them

[Asker]

You gonna be great mate🤗

[ZackBan]

Only I'm surrounded by the stressed and the depressed and I'm actually relaxed and living my best life

[Aquariusmystery]

It’s weird. When I’m single, it feels like everyone has a significant other. Then when I’m in a relationship, it feels like everyone else is single. You just notice things more depending on hour situation I think

[have_a_good_day]

No.. I do, however, feel that I'm the only person who thought those two chicks in the picture were conjoined twins

[VanillaSalt]

Used too... this I recognize women today for what they aren’t. Their not mothers or wives therefore I don’t need them.

[Xoirwinkan]

Not really. Either I didn't even think about others in relation to my loneliness, or I knew for sure that there are tons of guys "online" who are single.

[Asker]

Some of them aren’t single
Just look for hookups

[Asker]

So it doesn’t count

[Xoirwinkan]

Are you telling me to look for hookups? I don't do that.

[so_over_this]

Yes , because everyone I know is getting married or having kids and I'm just here 😒

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

I did when I was single and I just noticed it was just temporary so it didn’t bother me anymore.

[SlightlyEccentric]

What is "temporary?"

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

Meaning like eventually I’ll find a partner

[TwistedTube]

even when I genuinely know I am it doesn't bother me. Never understood why it does for others

[FictionalCharacter]

Haha, not in the world. But I do feel left out in some way.

[Coulis]

No, because that is grossly out of sync with reality.

[poneglyphs]

Yup, so many times, and I sometimes cry from it. 🥺🥺

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. Damn, dude. Don't cry.

[hellacray]

The woman in the picture seems so out of place.

Like whose idea was this to take a picture like that?

[AdithyaR]

Of course not, I'm not the only single person out there.
I might be one of the few that actively makes sure I'm single though.

[Twalli]

Not really. I have been the only one in my friend group form highschool before though. Even the two who got sex changes were in relationships at that point.
