Can you be happy as a lone wolf in terms of not having a romantic relationship with anybody?

Question

Here's the thing that I've observed in myself and in most guys I've met: you can't really be happy in your late teens onwards unless you're getting regular, quality sex with a woman or with women you really desire. Period. You can play up "lone wolf" or "sigma male" or any of that other bullshit all you want, but at the end of the day, if you're not having regular sex there's something MAJOR missing from your life that no amount of career focus, money, video games, porn or anything else is going to solve. So it's absolutely, positively CRITICAL to first ADMIT the centrality of sex to your existence and second to get out there and make it happen. If it's not happening the way you want it to, you need to assess what's going wrong and fix it. That's how you become a better man--and if you're a better man you'll get laid more and/or with higher quality partners.

Now for MOST guys the best way to solve the "sex problem" is with a romantic relationship. But one way or another you need to solve this problem or you're always going to have a giant gap in your well being.

Tbh Im a single guy and some of the happiest times I can remember we're in complete solitude, yet were compromised when I started thinking about relationships. However I think it really depends on the person and weather or not someone can be comfortable being alone. Also things like surroundings and circumstances play a huge roll I feel. So to answer your question simply, for me yes.

Well I'ma say this before I say anything this is just my opinion okay. But I do believe you could be happy as a lone wolf it just depends on how you let it affect you and how you let society or any bs you let get to you especially if you let any of that get to your thoughts your actions and behaviors and most of all your feelings. So long as society or any persons bullshit don't get to you in any of these days in a negative way I believe you'll be fine as a lone wolf. I mean not forever but for a while sure but after a while maybe a few decades you will be alright with being a lone wolf but still wanting to be a lone wolf will be the problem because if you don't wanna be one anymore than don't but trying to not be a lone wolf anymore will be the same process like with stopping medication start slowly with baby steps maybe one person a week then one person 2 days a week and so on from there with whatever your comfortable with ya know.

vast majority of humans are designed to want company. We are designed to be social beings or pack animals. This explains why humans feel lonely when they have no friends. Because humans are pack animals.

Studies have also proven that married individuals live longer healthier lives than single people. Loneliness and isolation is the reason. Its been proven that folks with better social lives tend to live longer.

often times never marrying means never having children. It also means having no family around you. It also means having no family to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas with. Your parents will die one day. Your siblings might get married and have their own individual families. You won't be anyone's first priority. Trust me, when they are celebrating Thanksgiving, the last thing they are thinking about is you. Everyone is at home celebrating with their spouses and children

Yes! You don’t need someone else to make you happy! It’s not their responsibility either. You gotta be happy and love yourself first!

RosieMelts · Answer

I think I certainly can.

wolves don’t go around saying

“somebody love me”

they survive and if they find a suitor they move on with it

Being able to live with one’s self, and love self, is a part of ‘survival.’

If a person can’t do that, they’ll be mentally distracted and not thriving.

jshm2 · Answer

Humans are social animals - wolves are too.

Hence it's laughable that the term "lone wolf" makes you think it's anything positive.

In nature, a lone wolf dies alone, hungry and cold. As wolf pack relies on it's members to communicate, hunt and keep warm.

I'm happy either way. I was a loner for a considerable amount of my life and it didn't phase me much. Was in a relationship for two years that ended months ago and wasn't too bad either. Back to being loner again so enjoying other parts of my life :D

Anonymous · Answer

I've been this way for a long time and have no plans of changing it. The key is loving God, finding your life purpose, serving others, having gratitude, loving yourself, others, and your life and making the world a better place to live in. Keeping fit and healthy is also important. I give gratitude every day and have all of the things I'm thankful for written down. This took a very long time...

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No. I cannot. I can be 90% happy, but I will never be 100% happy.

This is the truth. I have given you my honest answer.

I am not complaining, so please be advised there is no need to scold me for not being content or not being a good enough Christian. Frankly, you people can go fuck yourselves.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

Its not someone elses responsibility to make you happy. People who are alone and miserable will put too much pressure on people they date. Its also a bit creepy to be the sole bearer of ones happiness. I'd only want to date a well adjusted woman. If she's a miserable frump who thinks that a relationship will somehow fix all her problems then thats a solid no from me.

Hanrej · Answer

No, but it's far preferable to live in a relationship on sombody else's terms. To lose all control over your own life, have to compromise away what makes you happy and have all your needs being neglected.

That's where most people draw the line and exactly where we are.

You Won’t Be happy but You’ll be content with life at peace.
No stress Nobody to Judge you unless you wanna be judged then you’ll seek out conversations with People then after 5 minutes they will think they already know you and you’ll get Judged.
Want my advice If you don’t wanna be Judged don’t Have conversations with people.

Totally! I really don't get why so many guys lament on here, being single. Sure I'd like to be in a relationship. But relationships don't just happen. They take effort. If I'm going to put in work then I expect her to be worthy of that effort. I think too many guys on here focus on the WANTING a relationship. And not really realizing how few women today are WORTHY of a guys effort. If they did then the wouldn't be so eager.

Blackcupcake · Answer

of course! I strongly believe that, a relationship would be much much healthier if both partners are happy and comfortable with being alone to begin with, so that one or both aren’t dependent on each other constantly to be happy…

Guy13 · Answer

Yes, it can still be a purposeful life. See Paul in Bible.

Topaz1979 · Answer

Of course you can, many people are single and happy so you can definitely be happily single, happiness is a choice.

Xewleer · Answer

Yeah but you gotta be the one to choose it I. e. you gotta move from "No one will sleep with me" to "Screw em" without hating on them. The difference between Incel and Volcel is resentment.
