I may like women and enjoy their company but I don't need them either.
Probably because you would find a new girlfriend in a few weeks.

I'm indifferent to romantic relationships in general. I used to want to be with someone when I was younger. I have nothing against them, nor am I actively looking for anyone. I don't care enough to. A lot of people think it's nice when they can spend time with someone they care about and vice versa, and I'm sure it is a nice feeling.

I definitely agree that not everyone will experience it and it's not for everyone. There's nothing wrong with it at all. Let the commoners talk. Won't make a difference. It's just another one of those things.

I'm with you on that. It takes a man MUCH more time to find someone else than it does for the ladies. Example, it may take a girl several hours vs a guy which could take several weeks..... But hey, that's just the nature of it.

It would probably take me months to find another woman. I just got lucky that I had a woman in my social circle to go out with me. If I didn't I'd be in serious trouble and have to rely on cold approaches which barely work btw.

I don't know, I'm starting to think I may never find anyone. I just feel my combination of personality traits and such is just not what most people want. I'm introverted and many guys seem to prefer the outgoing girls because they seem to get embarrassed when their girlfriend is too quiet around their friends or family and then in turn makes me feel bad and not like them as much. I've had introverted friends, but never boyfriends! Why?!!

I guess i just hope to meet a fellow introvert so we have more in common, but I hardly ever meet introverted men. I've even tried online dating but I swear to god, most of them are outgoing. You would think there would be more introverted men online. I guess it doesn't help that there are less introverts overall in the general population.

To some people it's just as unthinkable that not everyone wants to be in a relationship as it is to me that not everyone likes The Beatles.

I would hope, though, there are more people in the world who aren't looking for love than don't like The Beatles. The Fab Four are essential to what's left of my mental health. Being with someone would only make it worse by giving me more to worry about and obsess over.
