I don't think I could be in a relationship again. I learnt in my early 20's they weren't for me. I've been single for nearly 25 years.
I am one of lifes loners, much prefer my own company and not having to pander to another half. |

In a word no - I'm not happy being single. The search for a 'life' partner is largely fruitless and frustrating, possibly because I'm involved in many different things suddenly dropping those to put all my energy on to someone I find hard and tends to cause arguments and a quick breakup.
I'd probably say that at the moment I'm a serial intermittent monogamist since I've failed to get other couples to invite me into their dynamic.
Still here holding an optimistic view but repeatedly being knocked back - ce la vie

"I'm content with being single, because of the vast benefits it has. But I still crave some company, hence being here. 😄
Snap  "
Damn it. Does that mean you win my comment? 😅 |

"I’m happy simply because there’s zero drama, rows or altercations but someone to spend some good times with both in and out the bedroom wouldn’t go a miss  "
The making up after a little drama is always soooo good though 😈 |

"Happy being single for now wouldn’t mind a regular fwb for all things fun
Best of both worlds "
For now yeah. For the obvious but also to socialise with and do stuff that’s better with a lady rather than mates 🤣 win win |

I've been officially single for 15 years thru choice I work alone and can honestly say I've never felt lonely. I've had a couple of longterm fwb. But I'm to set in my own ways for a 24/7 relationship. Yes the down side is as a single guy over 50 its almost impossible to get meets on here but it's not the end of the world. |

Was in a relationship for 6 years. Got cheated on by my ex almost a year ago, I ended it, no second chances for me with cheaters.
Sometimes I do get a bit down, but overall, I'm doing great. I'm content being single and not looking to rush into a relationship just yet. |

"Are you happy being single,or would you like to find love again?  "
Both! For the most part I’m a loner and content in my own company, but I do get lonely and I feel like I have so much love to give the right person. A really good, close fwb would probably be a good solution but I don’t feel that will ever happen, so in the new year I will hit the dating apps again. Sigh… |

Dunno. I have the days where I think I’m too old and there’s not much hope. Gave up on dating, I’m happy making friends I guess.
I have my person in my head, she’s always with me.
It would take some really unlikely happenstance and circumstances for the whole thing to strike again.
Keep going, try and keep the head up and do what I do I guess. Who knows? |

Harder than it deserves my attention and effort, that's for sure. Spent 2-3 years on the apps and came up short every damn time. It's such a weird place nowadays, rife with seemingly more issues than here. 😆 |

I'm content with it for the foreseeable. I love my own space too much to ever live with anyone again, so if I ever changed my mind about singledom it would have to be for someone who also loved their own space. I'm not sure many people would be OK with that tbh. |

There is way too much pressure in society for people to be part of a 'couple' and conform to societal norms such as mortgage, marriage and kids.
I've done none of those things, mainly because I am a natural loner and recluse.
Unfortunately, with the price of housing and cost of living etc, there is even more pressure to 'couple up' in order to survive and have a joint income.

"Love being single! I absolutely couldn't share my house with another person 😂"
Totally agree. I'm living with a mate at the moment and miss having my own place. Worth moving though, but still. 😂 |

I reckon more people than you think would go for that. I’d like to find someone who either wants separate places or at least separate bedrooms. We can canoodle still but then actually have a decent night’s sleep after. You women do the worst Dutch ovens |

Happy being single. But I treasure the moments of intimacy I have had with certain people from here.
If I ever was to have a relationship again, I think I would like it to be with somebody else in the lifestyle. But we can't see into the future to k ow how it works out x |

Happy being single but do miss some parts of being with someone. Affection and intimacy mainly, but also just a mate to go on dates with. |

"It's the emotional intimacy I missed that made me join the site to be honest.
I don't use it like a hookup site, but I know full well I'm in the minority of men with that"
With you on that one mate. |

Happy being single. Always open to finding love.
I've accepted I may be single for the remainder of my life as I have an illness which scares men off 😏
So when I say I'm happy being single, it's been a journey of acceptance of this tbh. A lot of talking to my therapist to get to this place of acceptance. |

Honestly? At the moment with all my menopause stuff going on and all the posts I read on Menopause threads (here and elsewhere) about SOME men and their partners, I’m quite glad I’m single.
That might change. But I am doubtful to be honest. |

"I've been single for a long time and feel like I'd actually like a relationship again (though not monogamy). Currently trying to date as well as swing, but it's hard work. "

I am long term single and I don't hold out hope of ever being in love again, not the full on, 'the one' type anyway. But I would love to have a closeness with someone special that could include intimacy. I definitely have room in my life for that.

"Happy is a strong word.
I'm definitely less sad being single, and I know being in a relationship isn't for me.
You just haven't found the right match"
That's simply not true for some people. The healthiest and happiest subgroup of people are single women. They live longer, too. |

Happy living the single life, but would prefer to find a lady to grow old together with, life is not meant to be a solo adventure. Unfortunately online dating is horrendous, rarely get a match and haven't had a date in years, might have to bite the bullet and start going out more. |
