If you are happy with your life and yourself...then why do you care? If YOU feel like you are missing out...then do something about it.

I get the feeling you secretly doubt your own decisions, and are insecure because of this uncertainty. Otherwise, you really wouldn't have felt the need to ask this.

Sorry but I go to a major university and I know what I see. Then there are statistics to prove it.

Your friends must figure that the sex makes all the drama worth it.

If that's the case, hey go for whatever makes you happy. You don't miss what you have never had. That is very true. Just stay the course though. Because some day, you might run into a woman who will blow your socks off and you will want a relationship. Be wary, we don't always control our own fate. Sometimes that little rotten baby cupid just throws those arrows around like he or she is juggling. Watch for what you ask for. You might just get it and then what you thought you wanted just went out the window.
I'm always faithful to my pledges so that won't happen.

Your sample study is college. Enough said! It's all very clear.

So you would always stay "faithful to your pledge" no matter what? Say, the woman that you never dreamed of, but was of your dreams shows up? You aren't going to bend that one little rule for her? Man you sound rigid. Flexibility isn't a strong suit?

I was just saying that kind of trouble happens all the time in every generation.

Yes, it does. And I was just saying that good, stable, happy relationships happen all the time in every generation, too.
