Cheers Savvy_Jim!

I am single / partner-free after being married all my adult life (not to the same woman) for a damn good reason; I have discovered over the past couple years that I LIKE it that way. Not many women fit well into my preferred lifestyle – rural, private, physically active (some might say obsessively so), mentally very active.

Since I have no interest in religion, juveniles, pets, dancing, cruising, fine dining, geriatric or sedentary pursuits, etc there is little commonality with most women. When I add that I am not physically attracted to heavyset women, there is almost no one left.

If a highly compatible woman was to appear I would be amazed and would be open to whatever developed naturally over time. But I'm not holding my breath waiting – and am quite content as things are presently.

I just looked at your profile..something I hardly ever do, and you are not the young man I thought you were..sounds to me like you just want to be left to your own devices..and I sure don't blame you..I do also, only difference is I don't want to generalize the men I meet, even knowing that that meeting is going no where. I've always been a solitary person...and I much prefer it that way. Good luck in your lifestyle..at 73 you've earned it.

a rason why I'm single??

well hEll

if u can think of it

I probably done it...lol

I don't "generalize" either; however, experience and statistical data indicate that the probability of encountering a woman who is in good physical condition (let alone intelligent and personable) is not great.

The few "age appropriate" women who might otherwise be interesting are often looking for a "god fearing man", someone to dote upon their grandchildren or their pets, someone to take them dancing or out for "fine dining" . . . . Some women a decade or two younger might be appropriate if they are not age-fixated.

But, as I said, life is good and I am content without struggling to find a "match" or a "mate."

I'm snarky

I dont know what my problem is but i always feel shy when im with the opposite sex

I think u have to have interest in religion

You are single because you wanna be single

Started to ask myself this question a lot

coz dating is an option :-\

Because people piss me off.

I'm hardly single but I always find a reason to be....

Fag

I can totally relate to that in one way or another. For me, I had to accept it for what it is..Fear/Self sabotage.

i'm shy and always indOor,busy at w0rk and i d0nt like guys wh0se n0t seri0us...that's the reas0n why i'm single...

waiting for the pieces to fit

meeting someone with whom I do not want to be single is kind of a prerequiste that has not happened....

Because my ******* boyfriend just decided that he is way to busy with his son and his exes kids for me.

So true. I hate saying "I love you" and feeling vulnerable.

Because I got jealous and said something I should not have, and found out she did not love me after all. So maybe what I said was a good thing although it still hurts.


After all, we were planning on marrying in June.

I am single because no one wants to date a single mom, who is tall, has long legs, is beautiful, has a brain and is a business woman, and enjoys life. Sigh... Lol.
