The single guys are doing fine. We have video games and internet dating. Living with another person, regardless of my relationship with them, is absolutely terrifying to me.
We all choose the life we want because of our own individual preferences.
- losteric 6y agosome* - the demographic is not a block, no more than married guys. I'm a deeply introverted single guy, but personally I'm done with this. I don't like video games or TV, and virtual meet ups are so two dimensional... my pets and plants have kept me sane but I need real people again.
- wolco 6y agoHave you joined second life yet?
- monksy 6y agoI closed down my meetup group because of the virutal meetups. (No sense in paying meetup.com for anything when the virtual meetups aren't doing well) What I've been sucessful with is limited gatherings on a weekly basis. (That's to limit who I see, when, and if something does come up you can responsibly disclose all of your ~partners~ contacts for the last week.
- vmception 6y agoAgreed, I live alone because I want space. A lot of space. Had a fulfilling long term relationship before, and not very interested in that life. Internet dating has been pretty excellent as the priorities there have seemed to change as well, along with everything just being slower. There is less distraction and competition for attention, it feels like. Video dates were never the move, nice try though. The thin possibly of a great collaborative partner that has a matching libido is enticing after a few months of the extreme contrary. At this point I just try to keep my own R0 to <1, if I happen to get it or are around more than 1 person/group in a two week time period.
- anoncake 6y agoLooks like either I'm not a guy or I unknowingly have a partner.
