Do you plan on being single for the rest of your life?

[coachTanthony]

yes

no

other ( maybe let me explain )

See poll ( pass those snack on over here )

[Cynicaldreamer]

You make it sound like that's a bad thing...

Yeah, and I'm quite content being single thanks 😊
I've been single so long now, I'm in no rush to date or deal with relationships at this point in my life. I've accepted I'm not "attractive" or sought after relationship wise.. and that's okay! I just got a new job, fit body, supportive friends and family, hobbies and interests... personally I can't complain about my life. I'm single and doing well.

In other words, it's very possible to be single and live a fulfilling life.

[coachTanthony]

I would never ever ever make it sound like a bad thing. 😆😆😆

[Cathy7734]

Don't you desire to be in a relationship where your SO authentically listens to what you have to say, pays attention to your feelings, and you each enjoy each other's company? Also, you each now about each other so you each validate each other by going through life's experiences together.

[emilym12345]

Hi Cathy, that is not everyone’s experience unfortunately. 1 in 3 women are abused by their partner and that is just physical.

[Cathy7734]

@emilym12345
I googled women abuse and was led to the NCADV website.
https://ncadv.org/STATISTICS

I had no idea it was this bad.

[Azura_88]

@Cathy7734 a man like that should also exist for that to happen. Most of them are liars and narcissists who listen very attentively in order to manipulate you or to blackmail you in the future. Honest, loyal and compassionate guys are almost getting so rare.

[Cathy7734]

@Azura_88
This is sort of off the subject, but I've taken a "Woman's Issue" class and they claim that objectification of women is so common place that no one notices. It's mainstream. For example, Hooters, the whole porn industry, Hollywood, etc. But the women are lining up to be hired. Those women don't seem to mind being exploited. Maybe they are crying all the way to the bank. I don't know.

[Azura_88]

@Cathy7734 yeah that's true. But I'm a virgin and say what I mean. But sad part is even if I DON'T FLIRT OR give them any extra attention, the wrong guys hit on me. They think they'll have a chance and they feel entitled to my time, that too they DON'T KNOW ME as a person.

[Azura_88]

Worse part is they will start telling me why having a boyfriend is better, how I should not be so much goal oriented or single.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Azura_88
" Worse part is they will start telling me why having a boyfriend is better, how I should not be so much goal oriented or single." Okay, this is where I have to step in and say something...

Anyone who tells you that is an idiot. You can have a career, goals, and focus on YOU, and still be able to balance a relationship if you want. But you shouldn't revolve your life around just finding a man or relationship. I've been single going on 13 years I think? And while I'm probably one of the rare exceptions, my life is just fine: I have a good paying career that I fought for and earned. I exercise and take care of my body. I'm capable of traveling and going where I want, when I want (minus the epidemic). And I have friends and family.

Am I say I am against relationships? Of course not. I've just not found the right person to compliment my goals and ideals in life... and I'm not going to settle just for the sake of being in a relationship. And neither should anyone.

Do what's best for you okay? And don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Those people trying to force you into a relationship are the main ones probably miserable or having regrets about their own lives.

[Azura_88]

Yes I know you. I like how you also want a loyal and stable guy who is mature and compassionate. I want that too. This century is just not right in terms of finding pure love although there is still hope. They gaslight by saying that if you have a career then also find a boyfriend asap.
Personally I was scared of dying alone 1 year ago and used to think that maybe I'll find someone who fits at least 65% of my standards and I can change him into a serious and dedicated person. I was wrong. PEACE AND SELF LOVE is much much much better than constantly worrying, having anxiety, fearing when they gonna LIE and building anger for the wrong partner.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Azura_88

I could not have said it better myself! I'm glad others on here realize that loving yourself is just as important, if not more, than finding "the one."

[Cathy7734]

I have a friend who is a "people's person." She loves being around people. She claims that there are men who are genuine and honest. However, the relationship only lasts several months. It seems that when a man finds someone genuine they get scared and run away. And then the man finds some bitch that destroys his life. And he is okay with that, In short, for men who are genuine, the relationship only lasts several months. Men who are bastards will last for years. I hope I'm making sense.

[Azura_88]

@Cathy7734 woahhh. I kinda agree with that. That's so fucked up. I'm genuine but I'm only scared of wrong guys. I'm interested in genuine ones. Humans are literally never happy with anything. But when the bitch destroy his life then he REGRETS it and complains that how bad women are, women are sluts or abusive. Women are demanding and want men to be their dogs. THESE SAME GOOD GUYS WILL then bitch about women.

[googleplus]

hahahaha jackie lol

[MannMitAntworten]

Single? Nah. Just a series of short lived flings from here on out. Speaking purely for myself, my “relationships” tend to last two weeks to just under three months on average. Just how it goes. That and since my last I seem to no longer to get emotionally invested. Which is easy when the women I seem to attract seem to be filled with lacy words of adoration and devotion in one breath, and are completely absent - as well as them - in their successive breaths.


Hell, last week a women exclaimed how I was her perfect type and wanted to pursue a relationship with me. Hell, marriage was her specific word. This week she’s in the wind. That lasted two weeks. I have zero idea what draws this type my direction. I’m not remotely fickle not to I talk marriage and all that jazz unless I am being specifically grilled on the subject. Even then I am plainly genuine in my perspective and that is, I doubt I ever will but that does not mean I have discounted the idea … lightning could strike. Meh….

[NathanDavis]

I am not planning for that, no...

at this point of my life, I've been in relationships for longer and more years than I've been single, and I have zero complains, no bad (some challenging but not terrible) experiences, pretty much happiness and surely the best years of my life, so... why would I renounce to the very best I could have in life... it just would not make sense to me, to plan on being single for the rest of my life

but... you never know, shit still happens... I just hope it doesn't start happening to me, something out of my actual control (*knocking on wood a million times*)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

The funny thing with that is we can make all the "plans" we want, but sometimes life has "other plans" for us..
I mean if anyone would of told me when I was 13 and second hubby was 19 and we used to hang out at the same house ( his best friend was my best friend's brother) that someday we'd get together, have two kids and spend twenty years together, I'd a laughed in their face, or least found out what they was drinking or smoking🤣

[FamilyGuy2020]

I actually plan on being with my Sister's

[FamilyGuy2020]

I grew up in an openly nudist household, my mom actually took my virginity I have never not been able to stay hard and cum twice inside her

[FamilyGuy2020]

I couldn't actually agree to cum twice inside your throat

[TonyMetal___86]

@Brainsbeforebeauty the sasquatch feet was a free soul jumping around the fields singing "trala-la-trala-la" until the predator came and hunted her down 🤣🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@TonyMetal___86 I was never a "free" soul

[TonyMetal___86]

Let me free you sasquatch feet by biting your spongy forehead 😬😬

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@TonyMetal___86 Cannibal, seek help for that🤣🤣 there's a few "experts" right here on GAG🤣🤣🤣

[TonyMetal___86]

Nope i'm happy to be a cannibal, cannot resist a jelly forehead without biting it, must be a strawberry jello that's what i see 👀

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@TonyMetal___86 har har har

[OlderAndWiser]

No, my girlfriend moved in with me last week and the first week of the rest of forever is in the books.

[CaptainOverthink]

No. But I am open to the possability. I see a lot of interest from girls but it never goes anywhere. I got the looks and personality but not the guts to make moves, besides I get paranoid from a previous witchhunt-experience so I usually end up backing off instead. I find an excuse and leave them be.

I have hope to overcome it snd moreover I am working on it. But considering kids are dying and are born into slavery and worse, living a peaceful yet sex-less life is still an OKAY life. Life is still worth living.
I live for my friends, family, career and for the adventure.

[midnightmoon05]

No...
The longest I didn't have a partner was after my first in college.
Since it was my first, I had a lot to learn. I took off 5 years, became more mature, learn about relationships. Then got marrried.
I am with my partner now for 4-5 years. and enjoying our lives together.

Never convince yourself that you can't love or be loved.
When we learn from and grow, we can be better for each other.
Better together than alone.

[emilym12345]

Actually yes. I am planning to never date again. Previous partners and relationships were to bad. I was never someone people held in high regard. Or wanted to treat properly. But I also have something that really prevents me from dating now

[Jlegacy]

What could prevent someone from dating? Sincerely wish you beat it, whatever it is.

[emilym12345]

Herpes

[Jlegacy]

I know they say it is not curable, it is manageable though. It shouldn't stop you.

[emilym12345]

I was recently just broken up with it over it. I could not handle the rejection

[Jlegacy]

That was cruel. I get you. The rejection stings. Personally, it won't be a deal breaker for me. I have a past where I took wild risks. I got away clean and so I am more merciful.

[SmokinAces2000]

I don’t know maybe if I can reconnect with this girl that I haven’t talked to in a while I could see myself going long term with her, she’s really the only girl I’ve ever loved but if not it’s probably just going to be hookups for me until I’m too old to get it up

[MCheetah]

Other. I didn't PLAN on anything. But since there's literally jack sh*t and f*ck-all I can do about it, I guess that's the very strong likelihood of it all. I'm short, unattractive, and not a simp willing to bribe my way into a woman pretending to like me. There goes all my options down the drain. 🌊

[Inexpensivefurniture]

I'd rather not be, but right now it's hard to imagine being with someone in the future. My health is so shitty I can barely look after myself, let alone date. And I have some hangups about relationships I'm working through, but honestly I don't know if I'll ever reach a place where I'm stable enough to be a good partner.
There are things about being in a relationship that I really loved and want to experience again. I just don't know if that's possible

[FatherJack]

Yes I do. After the marriage I endured , no way will I ever endure a relationship. Also I am a single dad as a result of ending that hell marriage. I know I have ZERO chance in the sausage fest " dating market ". Available men far outnumber available women , at least 5 - 1. Also I prefer my own company and not a people person.

[_Clara_]

Yes, I don't want to get married. Single life is good.

[electromagnetic]

If this relationship doesn't pan out, I'm going to do what I missed out in my younger years. Live a lot more than just exploring the world.

[Cathy7734]

In what ways would you live more than you did?

[Ryfyle]

@coachTanthony So another question to drive the knife deeper, make the sudden stop after the long fall more enticing?

[coachTanthony]

Don’t recommend playing with knives 😃

[Little_Bumblebee]

Not necessarrily. Who knows what will happen in the future.
Right now I just don't feel like I'm ready to date again.

[Jlegacy]

Was it that hurtful? Your last experience I mean?

[Little_Bumblebee]

@Jlegacy Yeah, it was

[Jlegacy]

Sorry about that. A lot of hurt people going on dates, hurting others. The world needs some healing. I wish you healing dude.

[Little_Bumblebee]

@Jlegacy Yeah, I can feel it's not good for me to date yet. It wouldn't be healthy and right now I prefer being single.
Healing is so important, thank you.

[Jlegacy]

I get you completely. Take the time you need. The world needs more of you. Most people prefer to use the 'next' to get over the 'ex'. I like where your head is at.

[jamesgoldman]

I don't plan to but I am not that proactive in changing the situation so maybe

[JBlade]

Yes probably, the odds of finding a decent compatible partner are low.

[Anonymous]

I do not plan to stay single forever but I never plan to get married, I would love to have an eternal relationship gf-bf in which he visits me and we go out together for a walk, to dance, to the movies etc etc and at the end of the day he take me to my home, we kiss at the door and he leave to his home; because when everything gets serious it gets boring.

[NotSureWhereIStand]

I would hope not, but I feel like it may be hard for me, I'm not the best talker, sometimes struggle to hold conversations, I don't talk to loads of people, mainly keep to myself but I don't want to be single for the rest of my life, but it also scares me, as I haven't been through any of it, rejection, heartbreak, etc... I also just don't know where to start, but I hope one day I find the right person, I'm still young so I have a lot of time to figure it out.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Yes I do the thought of starting over with someone at my age just doesn't cut it for me.
I have my daughter and my work don't need anymore then that ✌️

[FatherJack]

Exactly the same as me. Also , not a people person anyway and value my independence too much.

[siseñor]

no, but then again i'm not really planning on getting in a relationship either lol

[Supernormal]

And God saw that its not good for man to be alone, then He made him a woman

[HiveBee]

Man always been alone. Majority of males did mot reproduce in our history.

If god created eve, he fucked up.

[HiveBee]

If anything, god is female and eve was created first. Adam was created to compete with himself so eve could have the best one.

[TessCasie]

Sometimes yes cause I’m not able to get my suitable companion for life.
moreover at my age I’m noticing lot of single dads not sure I want to get involved with them.
