Savor it.

Enjoy the fact that you don't have to put up with drama. You can live your life the way you want to w/o some nagging woman getting in the way.

This made me think of an old friend of mine, I've known him since we were both in Jr. high school. He married his girlfriend 23 years ago and they maintain two residences, which they each bought before they found each other. It's a complicated relationship with a blended family. All our mutual friends didn't believe the marriage would work but somehow they have made things work.
Surprises all around.

I think what you are experiencing is a state where women have become non feminine. i am married to a very feminine lady and off late seeing the manly woman around has made me a bit scared for my son. Growing up in asia i always surrounded by very powerful yet feminine women. some reason western culture has painted a powerful women as some one who has to act masculine.

Buy two things and you'll never have to worry about women again: a passport and a plane ticket.

If you're not willing to travel then yes you'll be alone, if you are willing to travel then the world is your oyster.

You could be old, bald, overweight, and unattractive and still have plenty of companions so long as you are willing to travel.

Completely agree. I'm in shape, attractive, professional, and have a lot going for me and even I had to travel far.

Life will cost more. Save your money so you can buy a house - it is much cheaper for a couple to live, than one person (assuming both of them work).

I am sorry you are blue about this. I know it is not ideal, but as time goes by, you will become set in your ways and actually prefer it. The endless couples babbles will begin to bore you and eventually become intolerable. You will start to appreciate being alone more.

You need to decide what you want out of life and pursue it. You have to do that with a partner as well, but it's easier to focus on when you're by yourself. Work hard, be healthy, pursue your interests. Build a social network around those things to support yourself.

Sometimes a change in geography can do wonders especially when you are not tied down...
