Too much time alone and too much time on here has made you all a little off. I was talking to the lampshade the other day and it agreed with me that bulb replacement is a stimulant.
My car also told me that it wanted to drive this time and since I was drinking it sounded like a good idea.
As my co worker used to say.
There's nothing wrong with me, it's the rest of the world that has the problem. | |

...if i wanted a man here...i could but i need to be with somebody who makes me feel good...hopefully i will find mr. almost perfect....any volunteers?
good luck, with your attitude lately you probably couldn't pay someone to be with you. I think single has made you bitter | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/9/2009 6:15:05 PM | ^^^^^^^^^^ ooo ouch! LMAO How is being "set in your ways" weird??
I've always been an introvert and I've never been married.. so I guess by my age I'm an outright lunatic! That answers why Im always talking to and answering myself.  | |

Which is kind of weird because I never found phrases coined by George Bushwacker all that humourous.
SEE... We do get weirder the longer we are single. | |

I have my quirks, like in the pantry I !REQUIRE! that the labels be facing out on the canned goods. Keeping the bathroom sink clean and free of hairs and toothpaste and gunk !REQUIRED!
That sounds normal to me.
But I don't care which side of the bed I sleep on
I sleep caddy corner on the bed (that's kitty corner to those of you that talk to your cats).
I don't care about the toilet seat.
I keep the toilet seat down just to prove a point. Who cares if there is no one here to prove a point to.
Each person brings quirks--what if he !REQUIRED! that I make the bed every day? UGH!
I sleep on top of the made bed so I don't have to make it the next morning. Even though, I don't have to make it anyway.
I don't have a lot of ego tied up in day-to-day things. But here's another quirk *I* have: HATE CONTROLLERS
No problem. You can have the remote. I got the batteries
I guess I must confess. The single life has made me a little bit weirder.
Self: "You do know if you hit the post button you'll never get a date on here?" Self: " Yeah, I know. Oh well. | |

The introverts seem more likely to cultivate eccentricities, out of sheer boredom, I think. The extroverts rarely spend time alone, and seem to have a full calendar of activities and people to do them with, so they seem pretty normal to me.
That's pretty biased. I might say, introverts are more likely to cultivate deeper relationships out of sheer integrity, while extroverts ,who seem terrified to be alone, spend their time in useless and frivolous endeavors. . . But I won't. Introverts are probably the least likely to be bored--they choose to be alone b/c they have interests they want to explore. And just b/c someone is "busy," doesn't make 'em "normal." Lots of people feel lonely in their marriages, too, while people who live alone may enjoy their solitude more.
I still haven't figured out which I am, by the way. Happy in a group, happy on my own. Does that make me an ixtrovert or an entrovert? :) | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/10/2009 8:20:07 PM | | Yeah in a way yes, personally I am a little quirky after being by myself for so long, but being single is probably the best thing that happens, i mean you find ouavt who you really are when nobody is whispering in your ear what "should" be "normal" behavior. I'm not neccessarily an "introvert" but I don't waste my time with "useless" people either. I rather be alone than around somebody who is just a "waste". | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/10/2009 8:49:16 PM | What makes you think that being married or "taken" makes a person less weird, etc? Some single people have been through events that they may not have completely healed from while there are tons of married people that think getting married makes a situation better (eg; two incomes = more $$, yet both spend faster due to this). If getting married is the answer there wouldn't be such a high divorce rate. Would you rather build a house w/ two saplings as opposed to two trees that have weathered some storms???????  | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/10/2009 9:05:48 PM | I sleep caddy corner on the bed (that's kitty corner to those of you that talk to your cats). I never gave it much thought but now I know where that phrase came from as I look down at the foot of the bed right now - there's a kitty in both corners. How did they know? It also explains why Im single - there's barely enough room for a piano teaching spinster let alone a man. Oh well now I don't have to search for my fancy lingerie and heels. That crap's too uncomfortable anyways.. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 1:59:14 AM | | i think being alone is something everyone should go through.y?you have time to fix your faults and to really find what you want.now if you're afraid of going out in the world than you need professional help.or just a friend to talk to,to help you find your way.good luck. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 2:15:18 AM | | I don't think you can ever really be set in your ways because most people work and have to accommodate other people in some sphere of there life. I'm sure most people do things that they would prefer not to have to do and it will be the same when your in your next relationship. It is even easier to do with a relationship because when you love someone, your more likely to give way on things so that you are both happy and the same goes for your new partner, i'm sure they will give way too. If you can't give way then maybe you shouldn't be dating in the first place. Most things around the home don't matter anyway so it is highly unlikely your going to have your heart set on most of your habits around the home anyway, even if they are weird. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 7:09:26 AM | I prefer to think of being single in the term of "going solo". It exudes a quiet self-confidence. There isn't an urgency to be defined as a couple because we have already been one half of a couple. Our standards become more defined. Society would like to make us feel wierd because sometimes misery loves company. We choose not to settle for more misery but rather wait until we find that one person who possesses that blend of physical, mental, and emotional attributes which clicks with our own quirks. We're not wierd, we're just not settling for the first wink of interest. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 7:24:10 AM | | Actually what you're doing is needlessly refusing all of the perfectly good men who show interest, because your confidence in relationships collapsed when your bag of tricks proved insufficient. That leaves a fantasy world as a refuge and places the onus on the prospective mate to bring success wrapped up in an ideal suitability. | |
|
| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 8:56:51 AM | Farceur, There are some perfectly wonderful men in this world. No perfectly good man is needlessly refused (your words, not mine). Sometimes, it's just not a good match. My confidence in relationships remains positive. Why do you think I'm opening up my options and fishing in this pond? Lose the pessimism, it doesn't flatter you. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 9:06:58 AM | | i like men who have been single all their lives...they are better in bed because they don't have those long years of stale sex behind them...they have livelier personalities because they were forced to develop one or be alone...they keep themselves up because they have always had to...they view women as independent and willing to walk if they don't treat her right... | |
|
| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 9:07:18 AM | Only if you stop being social and buy a few cats and start having one way conversations with them instead.
All I got to say is whoever gets to go through all my belongings after I die may experience some shock and awe.
Ha, ha, ha!!!
Ok... I have two cats... Both strays that showed up at my door and never left. I guess they adopted me...
Yep, same here when I die... Whoever will go through my stuff will need to self medicate.
Anyway... I prefer to be single and sometimes have bouts of loneliness rather than be with someone and FEEL lonely... THAT is hell. (For me anyway...)
Am I set in my ways... Well... yes and no... I have no patience for a man that expects me to become his maid and mother figure. I expect a man to be my equal. No more or less.
There is this poem I like... I am going by memory...
Do not walk in front of me because I will not follow. Do not walk in the back of me because I will leave you. (Something like that...) Walk beside me and be my friend, my confidant, my lover...
Anyway... Bye for now!

I still haven't figured out which I am, by the way. Happy in a group, happy on my own. Does that make me an ixtrovert or an entrovert? :) It's possible to be both. There are times when I absolutely crave getting out around people, and there are times I have to get away from everyone and recharge.
I also do this strange half introvert half extrovert thing where I like to be out around a crowd but only as a spectator, not to actually meet or talk to anyone. Comes from watching and analyzing dance floors and crowd flow, which is a DJ occupational hazard, I guess. Some people standing on the edge of the dance floor aren't looking to dance at all. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/11/2009 10:10:50 AM | Yes it does = weird.
I'm trying to rediscover myself after a few years of being unattached. The introvert part for me did develop. I was a very outgoing person in my younger years, something I lost along the way in being unattached for so long. | |
