Here goes the word "NOPE" again! Social outcast? Ain't NO WAY, just the opposite!
Wife isn't obnoxious and doesn't think I am either. Some of you just need to learn how to "LIGHTEN UP" (think I've already said that in another post) and have some fun! I joke around and it doesn't bother the people where we live. Yes, I ask questions/make comments, but it's pretty obvious it doesn't bother the people (ladies and men) here! I kid around and they laugh, of which is a heck of a lot better than what some of you do!
Now, come on, let's all sit down, have a Bud Light or two w/a shot of Jose Cuervo Gold and listen to some Classic Rock like Boston, Deep Purple, AC/DC or BTO! Now THAT'S fun!! Gotta give that a DOUBLE "thumbs up"!

Awe, come on........the party is just getting started!
The more that can be thrown at me, the more I can throw back! "Comebacks" are definitely a specialty of mine. My wife says I'm very good at it!
Now, Curmudgeon, if these ladies truely wanted this thread to end and me to stop.......don't you think they would STOP posting? Very, very, VERY good question, hugh??

Had a neighbor similar to LoveBoat once... simply could NOT leave me alone with his "good natured" ribbing about my single status.. decided to not insult, fight with, or feel intimated so decided a little smart-a** sarcasm would work... here's the conversation that got rid of the little snoop :
"can't understand why you aren't married, Sandy".. my reply "I'M UGLY AND NOBODY WANTS ME"
"well, you DO like boys, don't you?"... my reply "WHY OF COURSE!! IN FACT, I TOLD YOUR WIFEY YOU'VE MENTIONED YOU WANT TO JOIN THE ORGIES I THROW EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT?"
LOL.. Mr. IQ of a houseplant never bothered me again

Okay. I have figured it out. This is all a fraternity joke, right? Cause there is no way you could be more than 20 years old.

Here's another "Nope!" It's not clever. It comes across as needy attention seeking and I find it rather juvenile.
Know anyone like this who simply says "He** no!" about meeting someone?
We know some single ladies in their late 50's thru 60's that have absolutely no interest in meeting a man......our neighbor being one of them. Wife and I have noticed that she would be home on Friday and Saturday nights with her lights/tv on and we would look at each other and say "wow, that sure wasn't us before we met!" We weren't hard "partiers" before we met, but we sure didn't sit around at home and watch tv on weekend nights! We've talked to her and found out that she was married some 20 yrs ago and lived with a dude for awhile after her divorce. Once, on a Sunday, I seen her on her patio smoking a cigarette, while I was BBQing outside, and I asked her "so what you been up to this weekend" and she said "nothing". I looked at her, kiddingly, and said "lady, you need to get a life!". She smiled and said, "I'm thinking about it". She knows I have a curious mind about me.
Anyway, sometimes I just think everyone should have someone.......like I do. But, then again, some simply enjoy being alone, like my wife's brother (late 50's/never been married) and these ladies!
For all the years that I was divorced (21 of them), I never once thought this way. When I was married the first time, I was "tickled pink"! During all those years I was divorced, I was very (ok, extremely) "relationship/marriage minded" and was always looking for that. In other words, I HATED being single! I got very, very lucky when I met my wife, because she was just as "relationship/marriage" minded as I was. In fact, I'd had a real problem with relationships before her because I was so "smothering/clingy"! Again, I got very lucky as she was the exact same way........loved being with me as much as possible.
I think she is living how she wants to live and telling her to "get a life" is rather insulting, to be honest.
Some people, I'm one of them, have lived. I'm not saying I'm "done living" but some times we need a massive break.
I've been around the world, I've dated, I've met people from all over, the jobs I've had have made it possible to meet more people than I can count from all different parts of the globe, I've learned new cultures, I've learned new languages, I've been to school, I've moved all across this country...
It's time for a break.
And that means I go to work, I do my errands, I come home, I spend time with my pets and myself and I relax. I have no interest in meeting anyone right now. I'm at total peace with myself, I enjoy my own company, I don't need to party or go out or see the latest movie or the hottest show in town or dine out or anything of the sort.
I've done that. I've done that a thousand times.
Now I just want to live a very mellow life. There isn't a thing wrong with it, there isn't a thing wrong with your neighbor.
Do what makes you happy but don't assume that what makes you happy is what makes your neighbor, or anyone else for that matter, happy. It IS ok to be alone and spend time alone and just. do. nothing.
Oh and by the way, I'm not in my 50s or 60s or older. Let others be no matter what age they are.
