Do you think that a guy who says he' can live happy alone and doesn't need a stable relationship will truly be like that forever? Or will he eventually grow up out of loneliness? Do you think there are guys who can be happy forever by themselves just messing around?

I think there are plenty of examples of individuals of all ages enjoying the single life. The list can go on and on. So I think a person can be happy living alone with no controlling, nagging, dominating, needy person breathing down their neck.

I am like that and I am perfectly happy on my own. The problem with it is that everyone wants to change that. And why? And who's to say it's lonely.

Nothing wrong with being single. And I doubt there is much you can do to change that nation. Nd it would be foolish to try to change.

He may however of his own accord change his notion of being alone.

After divorce in '89, I've lived alone. I've tried living with someone a couple years after that for a couple of years, but too much time had past that I got used to not answering to someone else.
I am quite content to talk, wine and dine and even go on vacation, or hold hands with someone when they are sick or hurting, but mine house is mine, as well as my last name. And I don't mind taking out my own garbage!

And that's they way it's gonna stay! Ü Ü Ü Just my 2¢.

(But you said a "guy living alone. I'm female. So maybe it's different.)

so a guy with that mentality will most likely be consistent with that? Its possibly that no change of heart will happen? Cool, that just reinforces what I thought. Thanks.

I would trust that he knows himself, and more than likely, yes, he will be happy like that forever. Even if he gets lonely, that's not a sure bet that he will search for a committed relationship. Messing around? Probably outgrow that at some point.

On the other hand, how old is the guy that made this statement?

I don't think I could ever live with a girl, let alone get married. There's a lot of guys who enter relationships temporarily becuase it's a constant dependable resource for sex.
