Question from a long married person (long-term, singles, kids, sex)

[GypsySoul22]

I don't get you single people. Do you WANT relationships or want to hang out and have booty calls?

By 25 or 30 if you haven't made up your minds you have problems. Seriously.

I think it's great if you want to play the field but be honest and don't expect to have a decent person on the side meanwhile.

Point being?
I think that in todays day and age the more mature kids are establishing themselves, getting an education, establishing a position in a good job or becoming an entrepreneur in their own business, setting up a their own home, traveling the world on vacations, and making investments and/or saving for their future. Good for them. It's a pity that for some to do all this can take up to their 30's to get established.
Part of that process is having relationships with persons of the opposite sex until they find a partner and make the mutual move to settle down, share their capital and future in a combined effort forwardly thinking.
Good luck to them. Life's experiences are to be lived, maturity allows them to grow as responsible taxpaying citizens and establishing their lives.

It takes two to tango, you find two like minded people where is the problem exactly?

I'm also long married but I'm going to disagree. To each his own. It is possible to have your emotional needs met without being in a one on one relationship. Personally, I like sex better inside a committed relationship but I don't care what someone else does. I like knwoing I don't have to go looking for company but that's just me. I'm not arrogant enough to think that because I like htings a certain way everyone should.

Answer: They just want to hang out and have booty calls. And if you ask them what their reason is, the answer is always "I want to enjoy my life to the fullest!"

Dumb.

I ask this in the kindest tone because you can't always tell over the internet, but why does this matter so much to you?

What's the point of getting married?

I get what you are saying. Don't ask for what you can't do yourself. Right?

EXACTLY what I was wondering! If one is so happily married, why the bitter, insulting tone about singles? And why stereotype us?

I'm not relationship-shy nor am I the least bit promiscuous. I simply don't settle and would rather be happily single than unhappily married. And why does that concept bother many of the "smug marrieds" so much? Is it because they settled? Not my problem.

I'm closer to 40 than to 30, and I'm definitely looking for a long-term relationship. I want to marry.

Having said this, "booty calls" can be fun. But I've learned that these "flings" aren't worth it. They're ultimately a waste of time, money, and energy.
