I'll have to agree with Stranger, everyone is different.

I have no special gift for singleness but I'm trying to be productive and make use of the time I'm single.
When I'm in a relationship I'll have a lot less time for things.

Yeah... when you're in a relationship you have a lot less time.



Do you realize a girlfriend actually expects you to stop doing stuff and make time for her?

Some of them even expect you to listen to whatever it is they're always talking about that never seems to end.
Well, most of them do this really.

They'll come over uninvited, when they aren't expected, when you're doing something really super important like watching reruns of a ballgame from last year... and they'll expect you to just drop everything and like take them out or something.

And they'll text you.
They'll text you a lot.
And they'll send you pics of their new dress, and their shoes, and their handbag, and their dinner, and their stuff at work, and their favorite coffee mug, and something they found in their yard, and their family members, and their friends... but not their pretty friends. Never the pretty friends.

And when you're eating, they'll actually believe they have some kind of divine right to just reach over, snatch anything off your plate that takes their fancy, and just shove it down their pie hole.
Yep.
They think eating your food is romantic or something.
They really aren't right.
And you can't smack their little hand as it zips away from your plate clutching something yummy.
Nope.
You can't smack their hand like a petulant child who can't behave around civilized humans, and retrieve your stolen dinner, because eating your food is considered some kind of bizarre romantic ritual that somehow only the woman seems to know about.


So yeah, being in a relationship is great, but being single for a while isn't exactly like walking on broken glass.

I gave up, but I don't know that aging had much to do with it. My Testosterone levels are wickedly high, so it's not low-T that has me saying "phooey" to women. I think it was just a combination of never finding anyone I was really interested in and not wanting to have children (hence a physical relationship was kind of just self-serving and pointless).

Aren't you the same guy who said if you ever got married, your wife would have to buy batteries because you are not interested in having sex very often? It sounds to me like your testosterone levels are "wickedly low" instead of "wickedly high".

YES THEY DO! Pipp I call you out on that statement. Who are you to say we can't call people out on everything they say?! You shouldn't judge anybody just because they call people out on something they think is wrong every single...

Oh never mind.

Hush Lynx. Go away. :rolleyes:

Forget it, that's too complicated.

I call you out for your glasses that you can't call glasses because there's only one, but you can't call glass because that's something you drink out of.

Assuming I can't drink from my eyewear would be jumping to conclusions.

No no no, you're supposed to phrase it in a way that indicates you got offended. Here, I'll fix it for you.

Thank you my brother.
Sometimes I truly fail in my efforts to be properly offended.
Thank you for explaining this, and thank you for being so kind.

I'll be back shortly, as soon as I think of a good way to be offended by your kindness.

My goodness, the OP would have just cause to be offended by both of us for how far afield we have taken this thread!

The topic is, do you get to an age where you just give up?

As I meet people out socially and see other women, I'm wondering if people, at some point, don't really want someone of the opposite sex in their life romantically. Because they've been single so long and have their own ways of doing things that might be threatened by someone else being in their life, they really have no need or want for anybody else to be there. In fact, if you gave them the opportunity to be by themselves or have a really good romantic involvement, they would choose to be by themselves. I'm just wondering if, as you get older, you kinda get like that. Does anybody else think that might be the case?
Click to expand...
I'm getting older, don't feel like giving up. My wife left 2 years ago. Now I always feel like lifting weights, hanging out at the mall, hitting on women. I have to pee in the shower in the morning now. It's like being 15 again. Oh well, atleast I don't have to worry about accidentally rolling out of bed anymore.

Lately I have definitely developed a different attitude. But that is not just with woman, but everyone. Paradoxically I still would be open to a relationship and marriage. Yet the glass is surely half empty at this juncture.

If I called everyone out on every contradictory thing a person says, I would be here all day and all night. I think it is a valid question. Either a person has a low sex drive or has a high sex drive. It can’t be both, so I am curious as to which assessment is correct. He’s not embarrassed to post his private information, so I doubt he is embarrassed to be asked which is true.

If he doesn’t want to answer, he can ignore me or block me. He can also tell me to jump in a lake if he wants.

HE said if he got married, his wife would have to keep batteries on the shopping list, as in his mind, the frequency of sex decreases its value (science as shown otherwise, the more sex a couple has, the more bonded they become. Oxycotine (sp) gets released, this is the hormone a mother has when she gives birth to a baby- the bonding hormone) I digress.

Now, he says he has a high libido.

It can’t be both, one CAN have a high libido and be inactive due to religious beliefs- libido and activity are not one and the same.

A person can have a low libido and be more active than a person with a high libido.

I think Oxycotin is what everyone is addicted to now.
