Jeff - I thought you were seeing someone?

I'm always honest about

what I'm looking for and what I'm not looking for you-look-fabulous. That's all I expect from myself or anyone else.

You know, I think they should make a new law. Everybody has to register as "married", "looking for marriage", or "staying single on purpose". Then it will be a crime for any person who is staying single on purpose to screw any person who is looking for marriage, and the crimminals will be jailed for a year when they screw a person looking for marriage without making sure they knew who they were fucking over.

jollyjeff,

No woman will ever feel appreciated by a man who says he appreciates ALL women.

Some of us choose to be single, some are because of tragic circumstances,

some are doomed to it, some are lucky to be it, some have incredibly bad luck and will always be it, some prefer it, some have given up

Some of us are all of the above - depending on the day you ask.

Jeff,

It is a great topic. I made a choice to be single some time ago as a result of some unfortunate relationships. I think the key to being successfully single in that you really have to enjoy your own company, which I do. Otherwise being single would be miserable and lonely. Oh, it helps to have a good dog to, someone to talk to.

Well I'm 35, never married, never engaged, no kids, so I guess we are peers (and Whammie!) And how in the HELL could anyone think that having never been married means you treat all women like whores? Oh well, consider the source!

Sure I've loved women

You-look-fabulous. Several. Some I've had relationships with, some haven't panned out. I appreciate all women.

You treat all women like whores?? You mean, you just don't bother to love anyone??

Jeff, I am 38 and a bachelourette for all of my years!

Never been married. Never been engaged. Never thought about marriage. No children.

Lived with a man once, for 3 months, almost 16 years ago.

But being hetero, I am largely without peers at this point.

It will be interesting to see a man's perspective on this lifestyle!

Whammie

I will read it!

It is apt to make me jealous though. Sometimes you just want to be single if you are married. And that is coming from a man who has a very open relationship with his wife.
