Im not depressed or anything like that, I am an avid lover of animals and I got 2 fur babies that a take care of so I am not alone at all
But I feel like society makes it seem like you need to have a relationship and eventually a family, but I’m fine with casual meet-ups/opportunities if i get somewhat “lonely”
Im not bad looking or anything, i just perfer to stay a bachelor. Maybe my opinion will change when I get older? 30M

Im also an introvert if that helps
is the best idea
love hurts
It’s unusual but doesn’t make you weird. You do you.
No. I am very grateful to be single and free to do whatever I want.
Nope. Have you seen Bill Maher?
Who cares what other people think? If you’re doing well and it makes you happy, why worry about it? If you ever choose otherwise, you’ll be just fine.
I prefer to stay single and honest I see zero things wrong with it
No, if you are happy that way.
I feel the same. I also have two fur babies and I just want a house to live in with them. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be in a relationship but I would be happy with fwb and situationships arrangements.
No. You do you. Let all the ones that let others dictate their happiness stew in their jealousy.
Hell no, being single is when you really get to find out who you are. I’m not even saying it ironically, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been finally taking the time to be single intentionally.
It is weird, but it’s not bad, I guess, if you’re truly happy that way.
28f and I feel the same.
My family has 2 cats, and while I’m not technically their owner, I am their main caretaker. They keep me company, and let’s be honest, on average, they annoy me less than people do.
I’ve yet to change my mind or even feel inklings about changing my mind about staying single. I don’t want kids, so that’s not a factor, and emotionally, I’m content with platonic relationships.
Your opinion may change, maybe it won’t. Either way is perfectly fine.
Society as a whole gets off (and literally turns a profit) by telling us that something is missing from our lives, telling us we need something, and then coming up with some form of “solution”. Whether we buy into it at any given time is, for the most part, entirely up to us.
Not at all. After my last relationship, I have no desire to date. I love the peace that comes with being single.
It’s your life. Do whatever you want and what makes you happy. Life is not about appealing to others.
You do you!
Until I met my wife, I had fully expected to be permanently single, to be the quiet uncle to my brother’s eventual children. She is the extrovert while I am the introvert. She lets me enjoy my alone time.
My elder son is the shy introvert model. Happy with his 2 cats and shelves of books. My younger son is the flamboyant extrovert who finds companions easily. I am putting zero pressure on either one to fit into the adult world view.
So whatever works is the reality.

No
No
Nope. Not weird. Stay single. And IF it’s meant to be, one day, someone will merge into your life.
Well if your choice is to stay single or be in bad relationships like I was I would recommend single
Most of the single men, I know, are very happy. They value and enjoy their freedom.
You’re lucky to be male. The Love and marriage kids and family pressures are worse for females. Men have kids in their 70s so you’re a dude take advantage of this and stay a bachelor until you find a Disney princess or the one for you. Maybe just a happy life with fur babies.
as long as you’re happy i don’t see what’s wrong. just remember that it’s your choice
No. What’s weird is the fact that the vast majority of people in relationships, just “settled” for their partner, and not somebody they’re actually all that in love with.
