ChristopherLikes: Is the devil you know better than the devil you don't ? Stay married or move on ?
There are probably hundreds of reasons why some of us stay single, but I believe the single most prevalent one is that we are just not meant to be attached that closely to someone else. Everyone is different, and the choice to remain, or become solitary is as valid as any. As I said in another thread, I have found that people are just too much trouble. It just isn't worth it. Even if and when I find the right person for intimacy, it will not include co-habituating. He will have to be of a like mind, in wanting a monogamous relationship with another solitary guy.

People are single for as many reasons as people are in relationships.
They fall into it; they are pushed into it; they choose it; they think the alternative is worse; they are too fussy; people die; they don't work at maintaining relationships; they choose badly; they are damaged; they've been hurt; they are egotistical; they are super-sensitive, they.. they.,they.. ad infinitum.

DertyHarry44: indeed! I feel better breathing my own
That's why I always ask for a Gastroenterologis clean bill of health before dating anyone. You ain't breathing mine and I certainly ain't breathing yours.

Strange thing is 38% say it's because we prefer our own company..... So what are you doing on a dating site.? If 4 out of 10 like being single it's an odd place to be, don't you think ?

I don't believe it is exclusively a dating site. Many of us are here to touch bases, talk a bit about this n that, (notice the forum menu of choices..) I have about five 'friends' I've never met, mostly women, and neither them nor I have any intention of 'dating". If people do connect and find one another appealing and wish to date and have romance, that's wonderful, too, but it's perfectly OK to belong and just make friends. No, I do not believe it's an "odd place to be", if fact, it's right up my alley. The friends I've made here are super. Don't draw too many lines in the sand--parameters are for real estate agents. Kapiche?

Maybe for now they do consider their own company and maybe just maybe they just might change their mind and become compatible with someone they meet.Strange things have happened before.
I don't view it being an odd place to be since it is their choice to be here.
I met my late husband while getting a candy bar from a candy machine.He was getting a snicker bar so I always told people that he snickered me.lol would you also consider it to be odd that I would anywhere near a candy machine if I wasn't interested in buying one?
