    it explains so much as to why you're so happy to be single.
    WOW! Seriously people! Do you REALLY think people can't be happy single? And that they can't lose interest in the opposite sex? I was GENUINELY happy when I was single and really really got to know myself and enjoy my own company. I had no interest in finding somebody cos I didn't have a gap to fill. I've found somebody to SHARE it with, which is still great but to say that nobody can be happy single, just cos you can't, is a bit of a reach.

    but why? surely its a nice thing to think about rather than death, religion and death caused by religion... oh and rancid squirrels... and goats who do that weird noise thing and then pee on electric fences... etc etc
    I think we all know sex is not the same as a relationship... you don't need to be in a relationship to have sex and you don't need to have sex to be eh... satisfied :)

    I thought everyone knew that :cool: . So you think somebody who's lost interest in relationships has lost interest in sex? :confused: what are ya all talking about?

    yep, it is definitely better than thinking about death or suicide, no doubt about it.

    but here is the thing i'm single and i do want to find a good guy and not rush into things, well sort find love in a way. but thinking about sex messes everything up, i am more likely to say yes to the relationship when i know i'm going to get sex.:D but i would rather be friends for sometime and get to know the person without getting deeply involved until i know they're right for me. :)

    yes there does. if you have no interest in the opposite sex/same sex/sex in general.. then there is something wrong.

    i stand by that... if i had no interest in my wife then something must be 'wrong' with me... i.e. i was depressed, stressed, hungry, etc etc... but if you arent interested in men/women then i think thats because you have something wrong with you.. not like a wonky eye or leprosy or something ... more a mental 'wrongness'
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    true, i just need to go out there and apply to all the available men :D

    i'm sure if i was searching for guys similar to how i'm searching for jobs i'd be having a hell of a lot of it by now ;) but alas i just either sit at home or go out with my friends but don't do much searching. and with me i know that if i want to get something i need to put effort into it, cause nothing will come to me on the plate.........unlike my dinner of course :D

    I'm talking about single people... who simply aren't looking. I'm not talking about people in a committed relationship who lose all interest in their significant other. Have you never (before you met the wife) been genuinely happy being single and the thought of getting involved or even being chatted up is just an inconvenience? I have... and trust me that was a really happy phase... just as it is now. There's nothing wrong with either... but because you haven't felt something don't say there's something wrong with it.

    since when is any of this arguing? :confused: some of you are a tad sensitive. Just cos I think differently and say why... that's a debate, not an argument :) but if ya don't wanna get into it that's fine... but at least accept that other people are capable of feeling things that you've never felt.

    they have something wrong with them.

    absolutely never...
    but because you haven't felt something don't say there's something wrong with it.

    but there is... and its my opinion... i'm completely interested in my wife/girl at the bus stop... if i dont feel interested then its because some external problem has made me think otherwise... and that means somethings wrong with me..

    aruing was not the right word probably, yes debating is what i actually meant

    in her case it looks like it's the tablets, and she said it herself, the minute she stopped taking them her sex drive was up

    wow... it is sad that you have never felt so completely happy and blissful with yourself that you didn't need ANYTHING. For me, I'm quite sociable so I couldn't live my LIFE like that but it was really nice to feel that complete on my own even if only for a couple of months. If YOU don't feel interested then it must be an external problem... but it really is not like that for everyone... not for me anyway. SURE, with a lot of people, losing interest can be a big problem and signs of other big problems but to say that someone can't be genuinely happy on their own and to not want anyone else without there being something wrong with them is pretty patronising

    that's true... I just said in my post above that I'm not saying the way I was is the way it is for everyone who loses interest. Some can be because of serious problems, others because they're feeling fed up, others just can't be bothered... and then there's those who don't need or want it right now.

    i'm going to get a lot of kicking for this, but i'm going to say it anyway.

    it's called woman syndrome :D:D of course women find it much easier to be single they don't have high sex drive like men do.
  • geniegenie Posts: 2,222
    i would go as far as to say that we should do a poll and find out, what percentage of men and women who are happy to be single and who don't.
  • dunkmandunkman Posts: 19,646

    could just be there are in a shit mood.. which i would class as "having something wrong with you"

    "ohh i'm in a shit mood"

    "really... whats wrong then?"


    see.. i'm not saying it means you have bipolar issue and burn stuff... just that something is 'wrong'..

    i'm happy, and when i was single i was happy... i'm always pretty happy... but even when i was single and very happy.. i was still interested in girls... now if i had just split up with someone then i might not be so interested.. ergo i'd have something wrong with me... but if you've spent 3 months being single and been completely happy during that time and not looked or even glanced at another guy then i believe you are the exception to the norm... even a quick glance means you were INTERESTED in that man.

    i'm always patronising.. it comes from being morally superior :)

    I'm positive that those who are genuinely happy to be single are a small bunch... nobody's saying otherwise. Just don't tell me they don't exist cos they most certainly do :)

    no, I think it comes from being an arsehole :p

    dunk, I'm not disputing you and your feelings... yet you're telling me that either I'm lying or there was something wrong with me? But it really is hard to explain... I still got chatted up and my friends would be saying 'what's wrong with you, he's cute?' but I was just more interested in getting to know people and have a laugh. I genuinely wanted nothing more than to just enjoy myself and have fun with no complications of sex, relationships or even kissing. And my life was completely drama free and blissful. Now I know you're a walking erection so I can see how you'd find it hard to believe... but that's how it was.

    how? There was no big particular reason that I chose to go off men... it just happened... my life was good before that, but even better then. it's not like I had a bad break up or I got fed up with men or anything.

    btw, i haven't read the whole thread as usual. :D

    I didn't say they are. It goes without saying that when you put yourself first and only, there isn't really any possibility of drama. It may seem selfish... but it was so good that I feel like everyone should go through a time like that. It really helped discover who I am and was blissful and therapeutic. Kinda like lying in a flotation tank :)

    like i said... you are in a tiny tiny minority.. i just don't believe that you never once saw a cute guy and had thoughts of humping during that time... i just dont. and i doubt you could remember that 6 years ago for a period of 6 weeks between Sept and Nov you were blissfully happy and never once thought of sex... nobodies memory is that good. Even nuns think of sex...

    You didn't say I was in a minority... you didn't seem to believe me at ALL. I was the one who said I know I'm in the minority. I never claimed that all single people feel like this... but I said it happens so to suggest people don't want to be happy and CAN'T be genuinely happy on their own is quite presumptious and of the 'this is how I am so this is how everyone is' school of thought. Anyway this was a nice thread before all this.

    if someone goes through a spell of many weeks and never once thinks of sex or once thinks of a man/woman being cute/attractive whatever then i think there is something wrong with them.. end of fucking story.
