Ha - so true. That phrase has been done to death by rejected men.
I agree. However, we can't say that all men are that way. That's like saying all men are dog people and all women are cat people. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/11/2008 2:42:16 PM | I guess i must be a loser , but im a lady with a dog . Do you know i would rather be a loser to experience the great joy i have encountered with my great companion - my trusty dog, who does not judge me but excepts me for who i am. Maybe that little lady (and i use that term loosely!) should sit back and think !
Yours the Irish Colleen | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/13/2008 5:48:51 AM | | I think for guy to live on his own with or without a pet, its amazing coz they pay all there own bills do there own washing and everything else, they dont rely on women to do everything for them which i have seen and been there when it is happening, i think modern relationship/marriages work that way aswell if u live apart, as it means you still have your own space | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/13/2008 6:09:17 AM | nothing wrong with a man having a dog, as long as he takes care of it. Goodness, I'm in my 40's, and live with kids and cats. How bad it that? Sadly, I would get a dog, but I have enough to clean up after now. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/13/2008 6:28:23 AM | Hmmm...I think I would prefer a single man living with his dog over a married man living with his wife and kids. But maybe that's just me.
Although I'd be completely heartbroken when we broke up and I couldn't see the dog anymore.  | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/13/2008 8:17:38 AM | That he lives alone with a dog is a bonus to my way of thinking. It shows he's responsible enough to have someone else depend on him. She must have not liked dogs so who is really the loser here? | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/13/2008 8:33:25 AM | | Weird as hell I would think living alone with a dog would mean that you make enough money to support yourself yet are responisble enough to take care of a dog. Does living with my parents sans pets make me a winner? I don't get some women they are so damn fickle about everything. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/13/2008 8:45:49 AM | I agree. However, we can't say that all men are that way. That's why I said "rejected" men - tho not many aren't at some point in their lives. So yes, OK - "rejected men" can in effect be the same as "all men"...
How about "some" rejected men? | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/22/2008 12:07:31 AM | | i think its way much better to be single in your 50's and live alone with two dogs and four cats. maybe you missed the rest of their conversation. such as he stays at home, watches tv all nite and refuses to go out? then add to that he's happy with just his dog. do not overreact! you will be fine. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 3/22/2008 1:32:11 AM | Heh. My friend's sister told him that me being a 21 year old living alone with a ferret creeped her out. I just shrugged it off because it'll never make sense to me as my only other options would be a roommate, the dorms on campus that cost more than my apartment (*shudder*,) or a live-in girlfriend that doesn't exist at the moment.  | |

Theres nothing wrong in it who knows maybe a man in his 30's will meet a lady with the same intrest in animals than they can own a farm then lol | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 4/23/2008 7:47:21 PM | As long as you get along good with the person, their current living situation should matter little. And, I dont think having a dog means you want to own a farm. Although, I have considered getting some horses... Also, I am wondering how these guys get to stay with their parents so long? My parents were shoving us out the door at 18 :) | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 4/23/2008 8:16:54 PM | Ok, so a dude with a poodle who occasionally remembers to feed and worm it (possibly wash it even) is somehow MORE capable of a man than another man who does not own a dog..........
Isn't this the recycled "Middle aged dudes and cats" thread?
I don't get it.
Not hard to feed something that has no hands, and barks at you when it is hungry. If you can wash your own ass, you can wash your dogs.
People owning animals are like people having kids, neither is hard, they generally do it without thinking, and they treat both the same as weird as that is.
I care for my paycheck, and I keep it alive weekly.......to my great happiness.
A big red flag is when a woman with kids from a prior marriage hits on you and you are single guy. In fact, bulls don't even see red flags that big.
Depends on what you call "mature", "responsibility" and "red flags". It tends to differ like dogs and opinions. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 4/24/2008 5:14:55 AM | | come on, better to live alone in your 30's than with your parents..i have met a number of women who have to be with someone, they cannot stand to be alone, sounds like she was one of those types..stay away from that type | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 4/24/2008 4:50:59 PM | | Well, having been single when in my thirties, and living in my own house with a great friend who happened to be a dog...I can say this: By the time I was in my 40s I was married, and after nine years we were divorced. My dog lived ten years! He was around longer than my wife. You wouldn't want to ask me which one I missed the most. Yeah, I know, but it's true. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 4/24/2008 4:59:13 PM | More I read these forums, more I go like WTF
So I'd be a better catch if I was living in my parent's basement?
I am not in my 30s just yet, but I should sell the house and move in with my parents in 2 years..... | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 6/24/2008 10:58:20 AM | | Some pretty enjoyable comments here. Like Isis, I live alone pretty far away from civilization. Fortunately I don't even tie up my dog or even have a fence for him to stay in. He's a big mutt and is one super good dog. He seldom barks, absolutely loves this place and is a joy to have around. I look forward to seeing him when I come home. He's virtually no trouble at all. I didn't want him when I got him and didn't want the last dog I had when I got him either. They just grew on me and I inherited them. I don't know why it is but critters just seem to attach themselves to me as do small children. That's kinda weird too because I seldom see my kids and have a lot of difficulty trying to get them together for a family weekend or even a dinner. They are just too busy..but have time for other people. I just have to be understanding tho' cause I know how I treated my parents when I was younger. Still, my dog stays!... he's my official greeter and neighborhood watch dog. | |

| single men in their 30s living alone with a dog Posted: 6/24/2008 12:34:17 PM | Heck, if you're in your 30s and not in a relationship (and don't have children or other family members that you actively care for), shouldn't you be living alone?!?!?!
If that's not the case, I'm gonna be in trouble in late December. The big three-oh is coming up. Does that mean I should get some roommates? | |
