So I'm a man who has been single now for 6 years. And even though I'm use to being alone and most of the time feel like I'm going to spend the rest of my life that way, I still try to find somebody. Has anybody but me ever wondered why? Why do we feel the need to pair off with someone? Why do we get lonely even when we are use to being alone. Just wierd questions I ask myself some nights lol

I guess it's basic instinct no man's an island and all that.i been single years and live alone.but it's in all of us that need to find the one.maybe this question cant truly be answered but that's as close as I can get.its basic human need for love company and to share life with someone.

because we are half person when single.

Because " man is not meant to be alone" .We were not created that way. We are indivual/ solitary souls in a body & long for more. Even with coupling. Humans lived in clans (15 ppl or more) & then tribes & villages & communities.
Look how some holidays are the biggest travel days of the year. People want to make a home & go home & be with their clan & make & have traditions.

I wish you all the clan your soul can handle.

That is interesting. America as a society values individualism yet Americans tend to feel lonely, so maybe there is a flaw in those values. I think ideally most humans feel healthiest when they are free yet loved and connected to someone else. This would answer the op's question.

I don't mean to start any controversy. It could be cultural that he wonders why he still feels the need to have intimate human connection due to the culture he was raised in that says it's ok to be alone, but is it really healthy and is it really ok? Apparently not. This is just a suggestion, if I got it all wrong he will say so.

that's interesting, because I wondered where the other half of me was. so if I meet a nice guy ill have two boobies again?

or ya could be a pair o t i t s together jokin luv ya

'We keep trying for the simple reason of failing to accomplish our goal, each time we try!'

'We wouldn't have kept on trying, had we met with 'success' after one of those repeated endeavors'

It's built into us to breed, which means making love, which means feeling attracted to someone, which means trying to find them first. I'm sure I'm going crazy.

It's not just about breeding like animals, I think it's just healthy to share life with someone else. Someone who could use our strengths and someone who has strengths we could use. No one can be in 2 places at one time, we only have 2 hands and eyes, humans are not infallible so it makes sense to share life with someone else. Also, to have healthy emotional, mental, and physical communication with someone close has benefits to the human psyche that go far beyond reproducing or breeding. And if it's good for individuals health it's good for humanity, so we should not seek to be alone in the world for all of life. It is normal to feel that we need to seek someone that will make us feel whole.

Why do we keep trying?
