Well guys/girls thanks so much for your opinion!!! If you had to ask me, I enjoy every little single day being single. I am sitting at a bar right now. There is music. There is people. There is joy. There is living. Life is way too short to be sad. Life starts out of your comfort zone

And to those who are struggling, I wish/hope that the right girl/man will enter in your life 💪 stay strong brothers and sisters. Never surrender!!

[SolitarySolace]

I enjoy being single. It's been almost 8 years. I now live alone in my own apartment. I make money for myself and I only have to worry about supporting myself. I don't have to worry about anything. I don't have to worry about a partner possibly cheating on me like all of my previous exes did. I don't have to worry about the possibility of being emotionally, sexually, physically abused by a partner. I don't have to worry about them begging me to have sex with them. I can have all of the peace and quiet I want. Having a relationship with a woman, you will never have any peace and quiet. And I enjoy my alone time to read far more than I would spending time with a woman who believes the world should constantly revolve around her

[DenizLikesTennis]

Hope you will recover soon!

[SolitarySolace]

What is there to recover from?

[DermalPunch]

@denizlikestennis this

[DenizLikesTennis]

@DermalPunch yeaa that is a good answer we should all learn from

[Star_88]

Everything is true but why only "women". What is this gender war again? Even men can do the same and worse. No one has peace and quiet when with a wrong person. You're immature if you gonna label the responsibility of relationship to only one gender.

[DenizLikesTennis]

@Star_88 a gender war/comparison is pointless. You'd always find the same results. It only makes it worse. We'll be more resentful.

[Star_88]

True that's what I said, it's not about gender but being with the wrong person deprives you of peace, happiness, freedom and quiet.

[Star_88]

The opinion owner said being with 'women' is this that negative.

[SolitarySolace]

Every women out there is considered the “wrong person” to me personally. I don’t speak for anyone else but myself. And just because that’s what I believe doesn’t mean anyone else has to believe it too. @Star_88

Although, the fact that you’re so distraught about me having that belief is encouraging to me because that means you’re worried that there are others out there who would agree with me.

[Star_88]

I'm not worried bro it's the other way round, I was shocked because guys in my life have manipulated, created drama, threatened to commit su**de, but at the same time cheated. But to each their own, if that's your own experience then fine.

[FatherJack]

Been single since 2015 when I got rid of my now ex wife , never again !! I am also a single dad to a fiery teenage daughter , she will be the only woman in my life , dating , for a man , is soul destroying and , to me , a pointless chore , & that time & effort can be used elsewhere far more productively.. I am no misogynist whatsoever , I have little need for people , and the fact that my hormones no longer are screaming loudly , make single life much easier. I am not surprised at the poll , most single women are single by choice , there are far more single men than women.

[kitty71]

I love being single Im already used to anyway. I had always been single my entire whole life anyway. Maybe I envy those ladies who date and have bfs and hang out and go out with their partners to many places and trips. maybe I miss just 1% of having company in taht sense but im so used to be without noone ever in my life that I think for my age is even more difficult to start dating someone and have a boyfriend when I dont tend to ever get married or kids. I never had boyfriends in my life, never been married or even had kids before.

[TransAm85]

I got married when I had just turned 28. I had a lot of fun when I was single, but I also did a lot of dumb shit. Despite my husband being a functional alcoholic, he's a hard worker and has taught me a lot of stuff. I think every woman needs a man on her side, we just won't admit it.

[DenizLikesTennis]

This is such a meaningful comment and a good outlook/perspective. Thanks for sharing it!!

[TransAm85]

Thank you very much!

[Agagagagaga]

I wish more women would. I hope you and your husband have many happy and wonderful years together.

[shaysh87]

I think that there are many women who only aren't single because they have a super high BS tolerance. I've seen plenty of women stay in relationships with shitty men or guys with very big flaws. I would prefer to stay single than to deal with all that shit

[SolitarySolace]

“I would prefer to stay single than to deal with all that shit”

Than you understand exactly where I’m coming from

[DermalPunch]

@TransAm85 I'll admit it loud and proud. Yes, a woman needs a man on her side who is willing to ride for her. Period. You have to pick your dealbreakers. They ain't perfect and neither are we!

[sacrifices]

just like rollo said a little bit before 30

women are all the same

[TransAm85]

@DermalPunch I know my husband has a drinking problem, but he gets up everyday and goes to work. He does the work outside the house, but he has me help him sometimes just to show me how to say, do siding, drywall, lay some concrete cuz he says he dk when he's gna die. Now if he did that cocaine like some of his drinking friends or cheated.. that's a 👎

[shaysh87]

@TransAm85

I think the drinking problem would be enough to turn vast majority of women off. He probably suffers from emotional issues if he's so addicted to alcohol

[TransAm85]

@shaysh87 I don't care for the drinking, I mean, I used to drink when I was younger, but socially/for fun. I nvr got addicted to it. My crutch is smoking- cigarettes not weed. I agree w/u, but he's not like say, my uncle who's been in this thing called a HUD program where he got so many DUI's that he had to stay in jail for awhile and was only released during the day 2 go 2 work. Or some of these guys he drinks with who I know do cocaine.

[shaysh87]

@TransAm85

From my experience, I've seen plenty of women date men who are egotistical, arrogant, never let her speak in a conversation whenever there is a disagreement (he talks over her). Guys who can never ever admit it when they are wrong. They always have to blame it on her or someone else. Disparaging comments disguised as a joke. Mouths without a filter or any sort of politeness. Some girls even date drug dealers without steady jobs. Some guys can never take being yelled at for being late or doing something wrong. Same guys who can never say sorry

I can't even be friends with such people. Dont even talk about dating him for years

[shaysh87]

@TransAm85

Believe it or not, i used to be friends with a guy who was 15-20 mins late to every meeting. He was also slightly sadistic because he had a bad childhood growing up. He was also short being 5'3". He has a long trail of women who hate him.

he's been dating his girlfriend for 3 years now. Its hard to believe how anyone can get along with him long term.

[shaysh87]

@TransAm85

I told a 77 yr old man about this. He said a lot of women date them because they simply have very high bullshit tolerance along with low standards

[shaysh87]

@TransAm85

My mother married a bad tempered , arrogant, bossy man who terrorized his children with his bad temperament. He had no business being a father, rather he seemed more like a violent turbulent drill sergeant. Screamed and yelled at everyone in the house whenever he felt moody. As kids we were frightened of him all the time, walking on eggshells.

My mother didn't mind this at all. She was a pushover.

[shaysh87]

If i were my mother, i wouldn't have lasted 5 days being married to someone like that

[TransAm85]

@shaysh87 My mother's father by marriage was how u described ur mother's husband. He would punish my mom in these sick ways and since they weren't biological relatives, he saw nothing wrong. She would run away a lot and ended up traumatized but took it out on me growing up. That's what molds a narcissist. No nurturing as a kid or attention and motherly love.

[shaysh87]

@TransAm85

Id rather stay single than deal with all that BS.

I've even seen young women settle for guys who are old as fuck such as 15-20 years older than them. Physically unattractive. Why not fall in love with someone closer to your own age? Someone attractive? he's not the only man you can fall for. And Thats not even someone you can grow old with. You can't grow old with someone who is already old. Its only a matter of time when you realized youve made a mistake

I fell for a 46 yr old divorced man with kids when i was 24. He liked me too. But i rejected him because i couldnt envision a future with a man 22 years older than me. By the time im 40, he would be 62. Do you think i will be happy being married to a senior citizen by 40? Do i really want to take on the role of stepmom by the age of 24?

I knew of a 24 yr old man who married a 39 yr old divorced woman. He became a stepdad to her daughter at the age of 24. Then he had another child with her. Now he doesn't advise that i follow the same route he did, becoming a step parent so early in life.

Like i said, some people are just not single because they have very low standards and have super high tolerance for BS

[sacrifices]

@TransAm85
@shaysh87

no women just like evil they prefer satan

[Allie2468]

I enjoy being single, but I’m excited to meet my future husband. I don’t want to get into a relationship with a boy who obviously isn’t ready for a relationship or is so depressed that he can’t function (most of the guys I’ve met recently). I’m learning new hobbies and visiting new places; making myself happy! You have to love being by yourself before you can learn to love being with someone else. 🥰

[DenizLikesTennis]

Excellent answer like the others!! I like your perspective

[Paulalove98]

Being single isn’t so bad after all like how people make it sound to be but of course I’d love to have a boyfriend and eventually husband to share my life with because who wants to be alone forever? I mean I like being alone but don’t like being lonely and life is great but having a partner to share that with is something beautiful.

[DCPowered]

There are too many risks that come with modern relationships, I feels like everyone is just looking for the next best thing and society and law is currently setup to entice couples to split up rather then work it out. The wealthier partner is encourage to work it out for fear of losing half their possessions and the poorer partner is encouraged to leave b/c they'll get a huge pay out.

[Apulu_Imback]

I'm not really looking for a relationship now but there are times when I am like how it feels to be loved or spend time with your partner. I am studying about love. Nowadays whenever I read a love story then it brings chills to me. It seems really wonderful. I guess all the effect of teenage.

[Moose304]

I'm single. I am free to go where I want when I want and do not have to explain myself to anyone. I also rarely sleep alone. Right now I have a lady sitting at my office desk doing some job-related work. Life is good as a single! Just to be fair, most of the ladies I know that are single seem to be happy too!

[DWornock]

Based on the laws and family courts, marriage is good deal for women. However, since half of the marriages end in divorce and women file 80% of the time, marriaget is a high risk for men. On any whelm, they are not satisfied, they find someone else, or don't feel fulfilled, which is common for women, a man can lose his children, his house, and half or more of his assets that he worked years for and about half his take home salary and sometimes even more.

[ANDYB88]

I don’t really enjoy being single - yes there is freedom on one level but it’s all pretty shallow really. But fundamentally it’s good to share your life with someone. Plus, I miss sex so much I could scream most days. Most single men are rarely, if ever, having sex because it’s so hard to actually get sex. I think that it’s stressful being a single man - the permanent state of sexual frustration and the feeling that everyone else is coupled up and having fun.

[DermalPunch]

I enjoy being single but a loving partner who respects my independence and has their own would be wayyyyy better.

[DermalPunch]

Sooooo interesting how girls love their independence and mostly guys are missing someone.

[DenizLikesTennis]

Yea the results surprised me a lot. Those should actually start to focus on ourselves and follow their purpose. Could you imagine an open relationship?

[DermalPunch]

Yes I think there needs to be a large shift towards self introspection. Socialedia has caused an epidemic of people fueling their very survival on external validation.

[Valso]

I want a partner but none of the women are worthy, they're all gold diggers good for one thing only - sex. And it's not much more different with guys either - in my whole life so far there was only one guy capable of a relationship but even that's gone for a long time.

[Brittanyroseee]

The only person i want is my guy best friend connor😞

[DenizLikesTennis]

Aww that hurts... But never ever give up💪!!

[Brittanyroseee]

I won’t! Im gonna wait😩

[ObscuredBeyond]

I had to give up pursuit of the woman I loved more than any that came before her; for her own safety. Because of that, I have yet to find someone that I feel is qualified to replace her. And I have much unfinished work to get done. When I have more of it finished, and have my peace of mind back; then maybe I can make time to give another a chance.

[KingofCups]

Hmm do I enjoy being single... sometimes. I wish there was more of a night life where I lived so I could actually enjoy it. Do I want a singular "loving partner", lol I'd prefer partner (s). I couldn't say tho. I'm not sure I believe in love. Seem like a fantasy to me at this point. So I'll just settle for some hot sex with and some fun dates.

[MatteBlaxk]

I guess being single for a long period of time is boring. And then you tend to have one too many flings, which gets boring too. Lol. Not sure which is good, bring single or being in a relationship. When the time is right. You'll eventually hop into a relationship and make it last I guess.

[Anonymous]

I would like to have a loving partner. Unfortunately he is only interested in being friends and I am struggling to let go because I haven't met anyone like him.

[DenizLikesTennis]

That's unfortunate. Let some time pass by and re-connect again, then perhaps he will remember you so you can talk with him. Try to contact him less for now. You'll definetely find the right man!! Don't give up and good luck

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks. The main thing is I definitely want somebody.
I keep thinking of Christopher McCandless's words. Happiness is only real when shared.

[menina]

Being single has a lot of advantages but I'm not ready for a relationship. I would love to have a boyfriend but for now I need to focus on myself. Then I'll be ready to love and to be loved.

[Firesparks]

I'd rather be a hubby n daddy than anything else in this forsaken fallen world... hearing a kid tell you I love you n getting hugs n kisses is one of the most precious things to hear n experience... n love in a way you never knew you could !

[LovingLoverReturned]

I don't miss anyone. But I want a stable relationship and marriage one day.

It's not bad being single.. I just want what I want. I've always wanted it. A kind of romantic obsession maybe.

[crossdressingrihno]

I love being single but also kinda miss being in a relationship


I honestly don't which I like more so I just stay single and avoid romantic feelings

[MCheetah]

I'd rather have a partner, but not be super-serious and committed (still monogamous, but not smothered like I'm married).

[KrisPW]

I enjoyed my single life, but am much happier and have always sought after someone to share life with.

[kinggeorge007]

Neither, I don't enjoy it too the fullest and no I don't miss anyone. (In fact I hate the one I remember).

I'm longing for someone good and I'm okay being single until then, even if it's a live time long journey.

[itsalyssaagain]

I enjoy being single but I would love to have someone I could share a healthy relationship with of course.

[yofuknutz]

When Harry Met Sally I'll have what she's having

[Splatmate22]

No I do like being single and also very dislike.. Is not my choice that I am single. Can't find guys that they are single. Always find taken guys and then I am not even interested and do not talk.

[Mitt15]

I would prefer to have a loving partner as I can share my thoughts and feelings with her , and she will also have her perspective to it.

[Screenwriter]

I think most people would enjoy a loving partner. How is that not a great way to spend your life: sharing experiences and each other!

[Fireguy17]

I actually liked both.
I have been single for long periods of time, and I have been in long term relationships as well.
Both had their plusses and minuses.

[cth2188]

I enjoy being single it’s peaceful there is no drama or hurt - I have freedom and it’s less stressful versus a relationship

[Linkk]

you won't survive for long though

[cth2188]

I’ve been single 8 years by choice so what do you mean I won’t survive long? Not interested in dating now or ever..

[cth2188]

I’m at peace not dealing with relationships or the stress that comes with them

[Linkk]

i mean that;s not a human nature.
It;s easy to say i will remain single or being single from past __ years but after some time it's become unneccessary survival test.
To be single is ur choice and you are free to do anything but one thing for sure that it causes more stress than running from the stress of being in relationship..

[cth2188]

No when I’m single I’m fine and content nor dealing with the stress , drama , toxicity, bs, playing mind games, and hurt from other people

[cth2188]

The min a relationship is being forced on me I’m gone.. I have my mental health and peace of mind away from dating

[cth2188]

I’m single by choice I don’t have time to be dealing with toxic broken people.. best to be single for me

[DiegoO]

@Linkk There are always exceptions and a relationship doesn't equal tranquility. In a perfect world every romantic relation would be great, but not the case. In the real world it's more complicated than that.

[FatherJack]

I totally agree , most people are toxic to some degree.

[cth2188]

I just went through that recently …

[midnightmoon05]

I have a loving partner. ever since I became an adult, I was mostly in a relationship.
I like having my hubby …
I also like being alone … we both get our lone times/some space is healthy …
good luck to those who is seeking a loving partner.

[lala98]

honestly I've been single pretty much for all of my life and.. the most thing that I crave right now is a partner to share my wasted emotions with and my life..

[poneglyphs]

same I feel your pain too :(
@lala98

[lala98]

😔😔

[poneglyphs]

want to talk in private a bit more?

[lala98]

ok ;)!!

[poneglyphs]

Wanna follow me because you have your messages to private :(

[ArrowheadSW]

I enjoy being single. I am open to being in a relationship again, but I'm not dating at the moment.

[ChrisWhiskeys2]

I'm only happy when I'm in relationships otherwise I struggle not to self-destruct.

[bolverk]

I enjoy being single, it allows me the freedom to take overseas work contracts as and when I like without having to work around someone else's schedule.

[zagor]

Neither choice. I would like someone to share with but on the other hand I like being able to make decisions without taking someone else's view into consideration.

[McKellar]

Being single and living the single life is okay for now,... but that's JUST for now.

Do I wish to have a loving partner that I want to share my live with? By far, yes.

[Drumlin2001]

I was single till 35, definitely prefer being in relationship

[Crankor]

Both. Though after being single for quite a while, you get so used to it it might take a bit to adjust having someone else around suddenly

[PortraitOfTerd]

Yeah I'd love to have that but I have no choice since I'm ugly and socially awkwardest person in existence, girls hate me

[linka_pat307]

I want to be with someone who I love and care for
Ready to listen to my problems and jokes

[moonpie89]

I hate the single life which is why im rarely ever single

[TexasRed95]

I haven't been in a relationship and I'm almost in my 30s. So I'm wanting to experience it.

[AlwaysBelieving]

I enjoy being single. Though there are days I wish I had a loving woman in my life.

[DiegoO]

I honestly rather keep single. Romantic relationships are a rollercoaster.

[boobliker]

I enjoy being single but love my girl friend staying at weekends it's the best of both

[RandomGuy1030]

Happily single. I can't imagine being in a relationship. I wouldn't trust myself not to abuse them anyway

[Anonymous]

I've been single my entire life. Its the only way of life I know. It gets tiring to not know what it's like to have someone next to you who shares a strong loving bond with you and desires you.

[boredguy007]

Had fwbs?

[Anonymous]

I don't force anything. Sure I want a loving partner to share life with. But if such women don't exist I would rather stay single.

[Anonymous]

Single is good for me. I've had good relationships and they were decent women but we had different lifestyles and needs. Getting a jy doll was the best decision I've ever made

[Shy_Steve]

I wish to have a loving partner I want to spend the rest of my life with.

[Akpos]

In life their is need to have someone you can share your burden with

[F68kjbv]

My love language is physical touch. So you tell me.

[Anonymous]

I would like it
but the women have to change

if not there is no point

[Finnigan]

I've never dated and I'm 21 it would be cool to be with someone

[maron88]

Yes and no. If I meet my other half, I won't refuse but on the other hand, I'm fine.

[WhitneySnow]

I really like having a boyfriend

[2021biguy]

A loving girl is better but not a rollercoaster of emotions.

[fireforeffect]

I have been single a long time. I am okay with it, but it would be much nicer to have a woman to share life with.

[Tina19]

Of course a loving partner

[Anonymous]

single with a good job and money would be enjoyable.

[Vendela]

I like being in a relationship, which I am.

[Jltakk]

Always wanted a partner, but it never happened.
