Exactly. This can be solved with friends and developing hobbies you enjoy. Do what you really enjoy and invite others to join you once in a while. You won't miss an SO.

Some people suck so badly they can find neither.

Exactly: friends, relatives, dates, hook ups, etc. At the end of the day you get to say goodbye and take care of your business and that’s it.

Yes, but what about sex? You can't have sex with your friends....wait a minute, yes you can it's called friends with benefits!! In fact, I think they made some movie about that recently. I didnt' see it and have no desire to, It seems like an ill-conceived, contrived movie at least based on the trailers I've seen. it stars Ashton Kutcher and some other chick whose name is....I don't know whatever who the hell cares.

So you see? Not being in a relationship is just the greatest thing in the world, TKramar. It might require some effort, might even require one to be selfless and giving in some manner, or possibly even considerate and loving and who the hell wants that???

If friends were as good as an S/O then nobody would have an S/O or get married

It works pretty well for me.

In fact, my main problem in being in relationships has been it's gotten way too crowded for me. I only have room in my life for ONE person, not one person and all her friends.

And as far as sex goes--I don't require a partner for that.

There is nothing bad about being single, thats when you make your most progress, and once people see that you are content with you and you alone, women will throw themselves at you, to get a seat at your table, and guys will swear they'll ride for you, just to get the crumbs that fall off of it.

My advice, stay single as long as you possibly can. That doesn't mean don't enjoy yourself.

I don't require a partner for that either. But there's something I don't understand...

In the past, you said I should have sex anyway despite never wanting kids. But now you're saying masturbation is good enough.
