Been single for a while and looking for love, friends first. Seems women my age ( hate to generalize ) are looking for a man to compliment their lives, like a new lamp or bracelet or something. I wonder who is the fairer sex?
I dated someone for 9 years we talked a lot about moving in together even buying a motor home to tour the mainland in out retirement. I worked my but off fixing up her house getting it ready to rent so she would have income and I live bill free we would live in my house.
I made so many compromises through the years and she was set in stone. None of us needs another to complete them. I feel in a relationship it’s not the quest for other half we seek after all half times half equals one forth. I feel you need to be a complete person to truly love.... one times one equals one.... that’s what I seek to be one.... not saying loose our individuality but to grow together. After all if you’re not growing you’re dying.
I almost feel these dating sites are designed to find reasons not to get together when we all seek to get together.
So I ask all... men and women.... what do you! Want? If your life is “perfect as it is” or you are “ happy being alone” why do we post here?
I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t “need” anyone. If I want. Sex I can get, activity partner? Got it covered. I take care of myself don’t need money. And I like my own company.
So we should all be honest if you need a handy man hire one, if you don’t have an activity partner, what wrong with you? That’s what a friend is.
Be kind and be honest, want don’t need, share and keep an open mind. And remember “ if you take time to judge.... you have no time to love” Aloha to all

Exactly brah. Comm unity!

People really don't require a relationship with another; however, interaction with others does help one to grow.

By interacting with others, we can see our strengths and weaknesses or get that sense of adventure as seen from a different perspective.

It's sometimes interesting to hear discussions from a contrary perspective. Sometimes it even makes you think about walking in their shoes and attempting to understand them as a person.

Then at times, you hear a similar perspective and see who made it, and it makes you question your own views. Whoa, am I like that person?

If I was stuck on that island like tom hanks in castaway, I probably would have a fake friend also. Some object outside of myself which reminds me of the world surrounding me.

But then again, shouldn't be offering the scorpion ferry frog rides across the pond, sooner or later you would be wondering why your back itchy.
