How many guys are happily single.
Duellers thread has got me thinking how truly happy and single I am. Life is really good drama free.
Ill put sniper on the list. Who else.

I'm happy single but if I found the right lady I'd be happier. (I think)

I'm pretty happy single... But I was happier when I had a steady gf, before she went nuts anyways. I'm looking for another but not very hard. Just enjoying college....

Age makes a difference in the answer here.
That said, at 48 I'm happy living by myself (and my son 50% of the time) but enjoy having a steady g/f. The question that comes up is one of "next steps." |

Nostatic- I'm almost identical to you and those "next steps" sometimes induce some trepidation. You?

After 35 years of partnerships I've been without for over a year and I've never been happier.

A wise Chinese person once told me the happiness pyramid is thus:
(in descending order) 1. happy together 2. happy single 3. unhappy single 4. unhappy together If you are at position 1. or 2. you are to be envied. If you are at 3. or 4. you are to be pitied.

For the most part I had to agree with her. Obviously some outside forces beyond your control can change your life.

Just tired of the games that many of them play and not willing to put up with it. Lets face it, sex is fun and being with someone you like and hopefully love is better but at what cost? This "women's lib" crap that popped up in the 60's was nice for a while but now the ladies are realizing that they usually cannot have everything and do it all alone. By their mid-30's they wake up and realize that "OMG I have wasted my child bearing years and now its almost over" and go into a frenzy. Hope to find someone to share life with, but if not then going to enjoy it as much as possible on my own. EDIT, have to say that a large part of why I feel this way is what happened with my Father. He was married three times, my Mother being the second wife. The last years of his life were an absolute hell as the woman he ended up was an absolute beyotch. He married her when they were both in their 40's as she was his childhood sweetheart. Even on his death bed where he changed his will to add my sister to the executors, his wife with-held food to him for two weeks to force him to change the will back to its previous state. I asked him before he passed why he put up with it and he finally confided to me that he was afraid of being alone, especially in his final days. I assured him that as long as his kids were alive that he would never be alone, but it was too late to help him. Its not too late to learn from this and hope I have.

Happily divorced for 22 years. But it took a long time to get that way. Much of that was due to having 2 devastated kids. Now all grown up on their own my life is pretty much mine to live. So happier now than I've been in a long time. The occasional rendezvous for physical pleasure is nice but nowhere near as important as it once was.
The very recent death of my dog has revealed an empty spot that is a bit more surprising than I thought possible.. OT: RIP Oneal I suppose having a steady hunnie in my life would be OK , just not in my house.

I am happy. Much happier than I was when married. Divorced for almost two years now after being married for 8 years. I think I could be happier if I found the perfect gal, but I'm OK if she's not out there.
And I've decided I may not be marriage material anyway. It's not for everyone
