I have to say I like being married better than being single generally. There are moments which I may not feel that way, but I think that is the case in every marriage!!

Being single isn't that bad really.. if you're happy with where you are and who you are...

but for the time being hopefully you have a good imagination!!!

I can give a very good view on this from my point of things.  I was married when I was 21 and got divorced when I was 24.  Luckily we didn't have any kids and we split pretty peacefully, but the last year and a half of that relationship was pure hell.  Fighting over every single little thing concerning money and what to do next and so on.  Now that I've escaped that, I absolutely love being single and view any woman trying to take that away from me as evil.  I do enjoy having female company from time to time, but nothing serious, but also nothing severly whorish.  I don't date much at all because now I'm super picky in my ways of selection.

I'm all about myself these days though.  I can save money, I can purchase anything I want, whenever I want...I can go anywhere without bickering, I can stay up late with out disrupting her, I can pretty be a grown up kid!! ha.  But in all reality, it's so much more peaceful not having that constant nagging around.  It gets lonely at times, but it beats the downsides.  It's all about having friends around to occupy your time.  Single friends that is.  Being the 3rd wheel is bananas..B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Its totally weird but it seems when u are single, no body pays attention or looks your way.

When u are married or in a committed relationship, it seems all kinds of girls hit on u and are after u.

Single sucks cause dating absolutely sucks.  U have to get to know the person, find out if u are compatible, deal with all their fuckin baggage from past relationships, learn to trust them etc etc

Its a real pain in the ass.

The human nature of most though is to always try to find something better and that can truly fuck u if u arent careful.

Most people are lucky to fall in true love once, some never at all. So its something u have to be real careful with.

I haven't noticed any difference, sure I don't go for home base when in a relationship.

But the women are always there, when I broke up with my ex, and when I've ditched a bitch before there's something new within a week, or a day.

Horsey, just hang out with friends, and go out if you feel down. Being alone ain't that bad really.

Being single is all that and more.

I'm an only child, so I've never had to worry about sharing or caring about other people.  So being in a relatioship, some of my freedom is taken away, and I don't take kindly to that.

I like doing things my way.  It might sound egotistical, but I really don't want to share my life with someone else.  I don't see myself getting married either. 

Just have fun for the time being, horsey.  :peace:

Nah, she turned out to be a cheating nutcase.

We were chilling with some friends and when she attacks me (again) I just had enough... now she's talking about all the stuff she's done.. only that when she talks about it's me.

I'm mentally ill, I have a drinking problem, I got violent on her.

Sure it goes to pathetic gategory when she talks that way to my friends if she meets one in some bar.

It bugs me more she talks that way to total strangers.

She even attacked my friends wife one night when she was sleeping.

She wanted to buy a laptopbag from me and I told her she can have it for free if she cuts the shit. Well the price was too high.

I just want her to stop and yeah, I got the need to pay her back.

When she sees me I'm doing great, I got the cash, I got the life I want, I got the girls.

So back off bitch.


Oh, and sure I got something else going on now.

? ? ?I agree with Pharmo that too many people end up together for the sake of being together.? It's a bad deal especially if kids get involved.
? ? ?I prefer to be with someone.? I was a snake in my younger life and had fun too.? I'm better off with someone though to keep me grounded.? I'm suprised my wife has stayed with me for 21 years and going.? I'm joking I'm good to her and she's great to me.? She's a beautiful and sweet girl.? I always have to chase away scum when we're out and I step away.? I trust her without question but hated that other guys would even try to hit on another guy's girl knowing she's married and to me.? A former friend included who suffered lost teeth and a broken cheek bone due to a fall in the mens room >:(? I'm not a small man... His wife thanked me for helping him to their car.Haha? Guys are scum, usually a threatening look will end it.? My wife gave me 3 beautiful children that are great and 2 have GnR in their I-POD's and the youngest knows Welcome to the Jungle from being at baseball and football games.? I now have to laugh at my sons friends who have a crush on my wife and/or daughter.? I sometimes catch one and I'll playfully grab him by the scruff of his neck and I ask are you checking out my daughter or wife?? ?Hamana Hamana NNOO.? They know I'm kidding and my son either shake his head at me or plays along and says "What's wrong with you checking out my mom and little sister?"
? ?Getting back on topic now: I think that people should wait a little longer before they get serious with someone and remember that they don't have to jump into marriage.? These days your better off establishing your goals, saving some money and really knowing if your with the right person so that when you do make that move to the next level your prepared for issues of money and kids and buying a house, cars or whatever.?

Horsey - being single is great for all the reasons stated in this thread. I chose not to get married until I was like 33 cause I wanted kids but now I hate marriage. It's like having a kid without giving birth. I should have just cohabitated with my husband and never got married. Now, I will stay because of the kids but I'm sacrificing happiness big time. And I dated my husband for four years before we got married. Thought we had a lot in common but as the years go on, it doesn't seem so much anymore. Like he makes fun of me for blogging on this board and my obsession with bands. He says I should grow up. I spend too much on concert tickets but it is ok for him to spend mega bucks on season football tickets, going to hockey games and baseball as well as getting into every sports pool out there.

When I was single with no boyfriends for periods of time, I would use the time to better myself - take a class I had interest in, train for a running marathon, exercise, got a dog, spent mega time with the dog, do some volunteer work, etc. It made me feel really good about myself and I met more people than I could have ever imagined even though I didn't date anyone, it opened up many channels. And on weekends when I wasn't out with friends or going on a date, I would do home improvement projects to make my crib a killer pad. But, most of all, as sex kitten stated, it's your attitude and I would go out with people thinking, oh another bullshit date, but I came to realize after talking about the dates with friends, that something funny always happened and even though it is still a bitch getting to know people, most of it is funny and provided much humor in my life when I look back on it.

I've also learned that some people cannot function unless they are in a relationship. They go from person to person just to have someone there even if the person is annoying or not right for them. I disagree with this because they are not allowing themselves time to just focus on them and never stop to think about what they really want. You don't want to be like that.

I've also learned that some people like to be alone and even if you are together, you can still be alone with them. I am probably like this so I have no problem being single but many people don't understand this either.

Hang tight and concentrate on yourself and yourself only - you'll see that women will start being attracted to you because you exude confidence and care about yourself - you won't come across as desperate or needy and they will think you have a full life, which you will. Try a pet if you don't already have one - no sick animal jokes from the usual suspects either. Pets are awesome roomies! They will love you unconditionally.

If you need to get laid, pick up a chick for a one nighter or hire a hooker - just remember, you only want to get laid so you don't beat yourself up the next day. Keep your intentions in mind and there will be no guilt. Always use condoms...

Crazy Cheryl is right on!  My best friend has not been single in 14 years (we're both 28).  In 14 years she has never not had a man, and she cannot be alone.  She receives all of her validation and self-esteem from men who want to have sex with her. 

I'm single right now -- have been for 3 years and yes, in a lot of ways being single sucks, but being in bad/so-so relationships are such a waste of time and energy.  My last boyfriend was an asshole but I'm glad I went through it because it taught me to pay attention to the early warning signs and not to settle for someone crappy and average.  And I am so blessed that I came through it without having to suffer majorly.

For the most part, I really just submerge myself in my interests.  I'm trying to start a new business, I want to paint and redecorate my house, I want to exercise more and be more healthy.  I have so many goals I want to achieve that a relationship would not be practical right now, even though I am lonely.  It's at night that it really hits me, because I would much rather be sleeping next to someone I love than going to bed alone.  And I can't think of anything in life really that isn't sweeter when you share it with the right person.  But I tell myself it just isn't the right time. 

Focus on yourself and what you want in life and a relationship will come when the time is right.  Unfortunately it really is true that relationships happen when you stop looking.
