    I definitely can agree with that. I tried dating a bit last year and early this year, but it just isn't easy. So, I haven't tried again. Seems like its all just a big game and thats not what I'm looking for. So, I am waiting for the universe to just throw someone at me. lol

    I love that philosophy. I've been waiting, too. Come on universe!!!

    being in a relationship is sometimes overrated ...

    agreed. i've always thought i was weird though. i'm better being single. i tend to prefer being alone, and can be sucky at sharing. in general, most people exhaust me and discourage me.

    in any case, welcome! we have more fun and make better drinks! :drinker:

    sadly i'vebeen single 11 years it sucks
  • I have been single for almost 4 years. The longest i have ever been single. There are parts of it i like... i dont have to consider someone else when i make any decisions. I dont have anyone to argue with. I dont have anyone that can hurt my feelings or make me cry. That being said, i also dont have anyone to hold hands with... watch a movie with.. discuss things with... or cuddle with. there are pro's and con's to a lot of things in life.. being single is one of them. i will admit tho, being lonely was the catalyst that got me losing weight. i dont date atm cause i feel so unattractive. it's time for Me to do something about it... look out fella's.. when i lose the weight i want to lose, im gonna be on the prowl lol

    I've been single for a few years now. The toughest thing about being single that I've found is that you can go to extremes. Either you go crazy (WOOOO I'm single) or you get depressed (oh man, another night alone).

    It's that point where you can truly feel happy being on your own where you're like, at least I'm living and ready for whatever is next. I travel, I work out, I'm becoming a better me. And really, it's liberating! Best of luck to you, sir!

    Single for 4 years, it changes over time... Enjoyed the 1st 18 months,dating & short 'brief' encounters... Then got bored with dating so haven't bothered for 2 years.... Quite nice just being around friends... But might start looking for a partner/regular date in near future... But dating is so hard work and costly.... I'd much rather spend my cash on doing up my yacht or nights out with friends... Just miss a 'leg over and being close to someone now and then..

    Don't think I could deal with jealously of a woman or 'always having to say what I am doing, going or thinking all day every day...

    This isn't a dating site! We are all here to lose weight!

    From some of the comments, it sounds like some folks did get rid of some dead weight. :tongue:

    In the same boat. After 24 years of marriage, was single for about a week. Not into the dating scene. Now dating someone. Far easier at this age, no BS. First woman I asked on a date now dating.

    Currently dating, but not traditional relationship, open relationship, and we see each other when we don't have our kids. It is sort of the best of both worlds - dating and single. I get to focus on my kids when they are with me and they deserve that, and when I don't have my kids I get to focus on me and what I need - helps keep me being the best mom possible to my kids.

    Drawbacks - sure - no one to jump in when the kids are driving me crazy and sex is not as frequent as I'd prefer..... But for now it is all about the kids, they will grow up soon enough and I will miss these days.

    I've been single for so long, I've lost count how many years it's been.
    I generally like being my own company but there are times when I get really lonely. I live on my own too, no roommates.

    The hardest thing is, all my friends and family are either married or in long term relationships, and having kids. When we go out it's a collection of couples, and then me.

    Sucks.

    I don't thnk anyone was attempting to date, i think they were just expressing themselves. as you lose weight you are face with many challenges. After losing weight and newly single you are faced with many challenges. I think it's good that they are venting one needs to be comfortable in all roles of there lives if they are going to lose weight and keep it off long term.

    Don't spend money on them until they are giving you something, if they don't like that then they aren't worth your time
