What do you single guys do.....

to stay single. How do you avoid falling in love? You have the rest of your lives to think about it but would appreciate your theories/system?

I wasn't aware staying single was the challenge? Seems like that would be rather easy.

If you aren't married you are cheating someone out of a good divorce.

Find a woman you hate and buy her a house. It's cheaper.

Honestly...I just haven't fallen in love since my divorce. And frankly, at this age (60) what would be the point of getting married?

I've been married for 25 years and would never consider cheating on her or leaving, however, if something tragic were to happen..........I probably would never marry again.

I could see myself with 2-3 friends-with-benefits and loving the single life. I don't think it would be difficult to stay that way !

Johnco, true that. I know several widows/divorcee's who are obsessed with finding another man/gold mine. BTW, you still owe me an honorary "coon ass" t-shirt.

Johnco, no worries. I wish I could get another gig down there. The day I left, I went to the docks, per your suggestion, and bought about 5 pounds of shrimp, each was the size of my hand. I went to Walmart, bought a cooler and shipped it home, as luggage. I think it was some insanely cheap prices like $4/pound. When I got home the wifey asked if it was fresh and and I said "it was caught about 10 hour ago". It made the local supermarket stock taste like paste.

I'm kinda with you on this one. I'm 62 - divorced for 6 yrs. Not getting married. not sure I will fall in love. Not sure I want to.

I think at his stage of my life, I have heard or experienced all of the drama I can take and I want no part of it. I don't have the energy for it.
