Aw, shucks... **blush** Thanks for that, since my confidence hasn't always been so great... but it's definitely better these days, which will hopefully help me find a decent guy! Did you post a picture too?? (can't remember if I saw one)

How old are you again? If I remember correctly you're still quite young (23?), so never say never! My brother always said he didn't believe in marriage (though for very different reasons than yours, LOL)... now at 25, he just moved in with a woman & is starting to talk about marrying her. So ya never know what age and true love will do!

Of course, if someone is not in a realtionship, that's another story. But there is a major difference between choosing abstinence VS telling others that it is sick and dirty to have intercourse for purposes other than mating. To suggest that having sexual desire is unnatural or unhealthy is just untrue.

You see, now THAT is a reliable source, and one information professionals (like myself) often trust & use... I've brought up this point to NAH on another thread, but I'll refrain from getting further off-topic.

Yes, there are plenty of other enjoyable ways to be romantic... but in a long-term relationship, that is just a companion to actual sex. Most of us wouldn't be able to refrain from taking that final step, and personally I wouldn't want to. As I've said before, provided you're responsible about it, having sex is perfectly healthy & normal among consenting adults.

Most men prefer curvy women. Down with those nasty skinny models, someone feed them! Do you have more pictures? Ive seen one of your face in a picture thread.(you may PM me the others, im curious)
Yay for the curvy girls!! Nothing wrong with being thin (naturally), but plenty of men & women prefer some healthy curves. I'll NEVER be skinny, since I'm just not built that way, so I've learned to appreciate my natural figure. I don't have any recent pics, but I can send you one from last year... about 20lbs. heavier at the time, but you'd probably like that better anyway - LOL.

True, perhaps you have some sweet single curvy friends that share my views and arent interested in marriage, just romance and cuddling Have you seen all of my chooseabstinence dot org website? Its not just my view, the facts are scary! I dont want to get sick or anything! Also I have no desire to mate, even in my dreams I abstain lol
I know some great full-figured gals, but don't think they'd be into permanent abstinence... though I do know one that should be, considering she had 4 kids by age 24! Luckily her tubes are tied now, so no more baby-making, but she'd never be happy without real sex.

LOL I like being single and want to be that way forever. But I do want to go out on dates, just never marry. Too many divorces and I dont need a piece of paper with complicated legal laws. I can live next to some sweet friends without having to marry!

As for your other points, please see my abstinence thread as it pertains to that topic.

I've been single since 1991 and it sucks! I stay busy with hobbies and work, and on rare occasions date, but there is a very small poole of women to choose from in my area. Being 46 and living in a rural area does not help. I have a handfull of women freinds...just none I would marry or move in. I'm gone at work 2 weeks at a time, and I don't think it would be fair to start a relationship when I'm gone that much. Of course there may be a woman out there that might see me being gone 2 weeks at a time as beneficial!

Funny you say that... my father traveled about 4-5 days a week for work, and I've always said that's how their marriage lasted 28 years! They got divorced eventually, but I honestly don't think it would've lasted that long if he hadn't traveled. I think some alone time is good for any marriage, since everyone can get annoying if they're around 24/7. Plus, absence makes the heart grow fonder! No, not "abstinence", NAH...

Well, I for one think keeping a moose in your yard is pretty attractive. Maybe we could be friends?

Hey I'm single. I can always use a new friend!
Yes...I have live lawn ornaments! They can scare the heck out of you when you go out to start a vehicle at 5:00 AM!
