How it brings ultimate joy but can and will leave you in ruin in ways you never dreamed of. And how despite that ruin, we still can't let go sometimes.
This is what frightens me about it. I'm alone and sometimes lonely, but I'm not looking for a relationship because I don't feel the lack of one. What I miss is my family, whom no-one will ever replace in my heart or mind. I'm all but certain it will be like this until I join them on the other side of the veil, and sometimes I think that day can't come soon enough.
I'm 23 years old, been single for 5 years and from the looks of things, It's gonna be that way until I die. Don't get me wrong I don't hate women even though my experiences with them haven't been good. I always hear this saying "Man wasn't meant to be alone." I feel that I'm meant to be alone in this life. I don't believe there is a woman out there for me at all, it doesn't make me sad I just accept it. I've never even approached a woman or asked one out, It's scary so I don't try. I will not have a girlfriend, will never have sex, will not get married, and will never had kids (I had a vascetomy already). Are some men just meant to be alone?
You had a vascetomy at 23?!! Why so young??
Please don't think that you will be alone forever.You're too young to think that way.When you're not looking for it...you will find someone.Being single for 5 years?! That's nothing.I have been single for 10 years now and it's not like I don't want to be with someone...it's just that I really haven't made the attempt and I'm working on myself before I go back out there.There is someone for everyone...
I think the real losers are the people who sign up and use these ridiculous user names and bump ancient threads out of nowhere.

It shouldn't. And it is rude for one to address another that way. (I am only discussing this, being alerted to this thread now after having contributed long ago).
Here's the thing: A person is in a mood and does an online search for something related to what they are feeling and clicks on link to a topic listed. The person finds they need to sign up to contribute, maybe quickly creating a name, and then without seeing the original posting date and being unfamiliar, post their thoughts, only to possibly be hit over the head by others.
I understand that in some cases an original poster has come and gone and it may not be relevant, but it is not the fault of an innocent poster who does not know better, as they are trying to get their feet wet here and are unfamiliar. When I first joined to discuss something specific, I found some long-time CD posters saying "This has been discussed before" (so go away) or being criticized for adding to an older topic. I thought, "Wow..what kind of a place is this?"
If this is such an issue, which I have seen surface, why do older threads remain available to encourage them in being bumped up? If it is going to continue this way, consideration should exist for new posters.
Ummm...prdon my bluntness, but you're being a bit on the ...whiny...side. Never, never, never. Nobody loves me , everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms. Come on man. You're only 23. That's hardly ready for a nursing home. Through my 20s, I only had one relationship that could be considered long term, when I was 24. Granted, I believe I was probably a bit more outgoing than you come off as, and wasn't scared of women.
I'm 53 now. I've been in a relationship for the last 5 years. There won't ever be another if this one does end. But that is a matter of pure choice. Which I believe is your issue. You're making a choice to be alone. It's not being forced on you. My lady has some serious medical issues involving a brain injury with other complications. Our relationship is being dictated by those conditions, but I refuse to abandon her. So long as we both breathe, my heart belongs to her. Even if she can't even recognize me right now.
It took my whole life to find love like this, and I won't walk away. Love is a funny thing. It comes when it comes. When it does, it's usually when you're not looking. It's a sucker punch that comes from behind. At 23, You've got a LOT of time to think about getting tagged. But with an attitude such as you present here, when it comes you just might duck and not feel it. Just saying....
That's a 4-year-old post you responded to. Great post, but the OP is long gone.
It shouldn't. And it is rude for one to address another that way. (I am only discussing this, being alerted to this thread now after having contributed long ago).

Done preaching.
I've already explained that it was more of the poster who bumped the thread, rather than the thread being bumped. Look at his other post out of the two he's had on here. Another post where he whines about how women don't want nice men like himself and how they're greedy. It's like he wants pity and complains about women not wanting him, but has this user name ''Smart to stay single now'' which implies that he's happy to be single and smart because of it, but his posts seem to say that he's bitter about it. There's a lot of these odd posters that bump a thread on here and then go POOF! And disappear for weeks or even permanently after a one hit wonder post.
I used to believe that I'd never find a girlfriend, but I've had one and been talking to other girls for the past few months. I truly believe that most guys can at least find someone as long as they're not horribly disfigured or anything like that.

I believe, its a requirement to join the MGTOW club.
