I am alone quite frequently but never feel lonely.
But, having said that, it is also important to have social interaction. It is necessary for humans to function properly.
That would mean not working, shopping, visiting family and/or friends, almost zero activities involving people in any capacity.
The idea of a significant other is always a nice thought. Unless we actually do nothing but close ourselves in from every thing and every one, we're never really alone.
I can see where a person might want some one for themselves on a permanent basis for many reasons and desires. I can't quite see where loneliness would fit as the deciding factor to no longer want to be alone.
Not because of loneliness but just because it is lovely to be with someone you care for, and that cares for you

Aloneness is different from loneliness
It is an occasion for personal growth
It gives an insight into humanness
And helps us realize our self worth
Being with others continually
Denies us from ever having a chance
To look at ourselves objectively
To build up our own self reliance
Self reliance is the key to coping
With acute periods of adversity
It provides us with an inner strengthening
To overcome and claim the victory
Self reliance is extremely vital
To avoid the feeling of loneliness
Which can happen when there is denial
Of other's support and togetherness
If you feel contentment in aloneness
It can help you to avoid a pitfall
It provides an inner based happiness
Which is the greatest happiness of all

Having history of an abusive relationship needs courage to overcome that feeling of being lonely or otherwise.I feel for you
I've been on my own for nearly 25 years and, until recently, have never been lonely. I've always been quite content with my own company. However, I too have found that the older I get, the more I crave someone with whom to share my final years. It is a strange feeling, I'm not sure whether it comes from a place of suddenly being aware of one's own mortality or, from a place of healing from past mistreatments or mistakes.
I have rarely experienced lonliness but having a loving family probably helps that a lot. I've been much too busy spoiling and enjoying myself. I would have to ask what a companion could bring to the table?
Anyone managed to pull that one off yet?
More women wanted part-time and men wanted full-time. I didn't expect that result.
If we go by common belief, it is women want to bag the man, make him marry her against his will, and on hand for her every whim and desire 24/7.
but it ain't so.
Sometimes, though, men do see cohabiting as a chance to shed most of the load and women see it as doubling their workload?
I only ever lived full-time with 2 men and I was for sure expected to be the bustling little homemaker (and co-breadwinner) and apparently I'm not terribly good at my side of the deal.
The mind actually boggles at what damage the trumpeters would have done if she'd got in.
Biff, yeah, married men live longer because they are better looked after generally than men who live alone and don't eat properly, drink too much, don't exercise,etc.
And yes I am generalising here, but in general that is what happens.
Whereas, single women are usually better at looking after themselves. Maybe it is only to look good to bag a man though
I keep explaining this to men but just like when I blog, they don't get what I am talking about. Such a good solution all round, though.
It is really win win for both
Space apart but close enough as well
From what I hear on the news here woman out live men married or not.
Divorced men may be even worse than single men as they were used to being fed and looked after, and when they are no longer catered for, they may not do it for themselves very well.
yeah, sure...
was just thinking, that poll you mentioned...if only asian woman had answered, I would think the outcome was different...?
Vik, I would think the results would change dramatically then. Different culture and expectations.
If you can find some balance with social and alone time.....one barely feels pangs of loneliness(I find anyway)
If I've been surrounded by people for too long, I actually seek out time on my own.....to recharge.
