I went to the local mall today to see a movie. The whole g-damned world was there. You know what I'd like to see? Do you really? Naw, hell no you don't. It would not trouble me in the least to see a bomb decimate about 200,000 people in this area. There was an article recently I read that said 2/3rds of the fornicating idiots of this world cannot support a child, yet they lust for their selfish needs without considering the added devastation overpopulation is bringing upon us everywhere. Like a starving herd of deer, or whatever, people need to be thinned out. Thus are wars born. I think too many people are no damned good, and deserve to die. Maybe I'm one of them. So kill me. What the hell do I care? But you better be damned good.

There is no 'fate', no destiny, no plan. We are actors in our own script, though we all start with different abilities and tools to write with. Some people have more to overcome than others - be it emotional, financial, interpersonal.. some people have to put in a huge effort to be social... some are afraid of rejection and hesitant to open up to others... some are out there forever looking for that 'bigger, better deal' and can't be satisfied with what they have (consquence of intense capitalistic propaganda??)... the list goes on. The bottom line is that out there, somewhere, is someone with which each of us could be happy with - IMO. Even some of you here who think you are 'destined' to be alone. I just don't buy it - there is something better out there than solitude, if you can just connect to it. Maybe you never make that connection, but that does not mean that your 'other half' is not out there, somewhere.

It seems that earlier generations put up with more incompatability, more discomfort, more problems in their relationships because 'that's how life is'. Somehow we are different now, put up with less inconvenience in our lives and relationships. Maybe it's socioeconomic? Times have definitely changed...

hi there, no i personally don't think we are meant to be alone... not that theres anything wrong with it.Way back at the beginning of time God made Eve so that adam wouldn't have to be alone. I don't think we need another person to make us whole but it's nice to have someone to share your hopes and dreams with... just my personal oppinion...whatever works for you i'm sure is fine...good luck and God bless

It sure does feel that way somedays.... I don't want to be alone, but the way I see it, if I have never been with someone yet by 36 years of age... The odds are, I will probably be alone for ever... Heck, maybe I'll just add yet another hobby to my already growing list of hobbies.... Take up skydiving or something extreme...

@lonertx63

I totally agree with you!!! I used to be able to see the skyline of Minneapolis, now I can't see anything but smog... Asthma is on the rise amongst children... hmmmm I wonder why?

Meant to be alone? Nah.. I prefer "Terminally Single"

I sure hope I'm not meant to be alone....shudders..that would be a miserable existence for me. I wanna be walking hand-in-hand with her when we're 82...goin' to the movies and still trying to cop a feel. laff

Ofcoarse not... If we were meant to be alone; God would of made one person, not two. We were meant to recreate, which takes two people. I know I have been alone for a while and it is stress free at times. The again at time its stressful because of being alone...

Yes , i think some people are meant to be alone. Sometimes some people have alot of Responsibilities and they come before friends and relationships. I've never been one too have friends . It's just easier being alone and not having too explain yourself too those. But i do love to help people!

I guess it depends on the person, I am only 19 years old but in my limited relationship experience I would have to say I am aimed more towards being alone, I can't say it's something you can ever be fully adjusted to but I can tell it's starting to turn around.

A certain percentage of males will never find a girlfriend because there is always a shortage of females 18-35. Older guys often double-dip or alpha males may have several girlfriends. I know several good looking and smart white guys who will never have a girl friend. It is devastating for their confidence.

As an aside, I am growing increasing frustrated by the fact that people increase their post count by posting very short posts. It would be so much fairer if we went by word count.

Grachman you have a good point. There are many good looking guys out there with no women cause their self esteem is so low that they think no woman is interested, or the woman has a low self esteem that they stick with a jerk who is probably cheating on her while she could find a good guy instead. Life is interesting that way.

I thought I was meant to be alone.

I'd given up, didn't like dating. Always felt like a white interrogation light was being shined on me at dates. I was asked questions like...

Where were you born?

Are you parents still together?

How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Do you like dogs?

Well gee, my idea of getting to know someone is...

"What are you views on abortion"?

Do you consider yourself a traditionalist?

What do you think of our current President?

What are your views of women in general? In politics?

Where have you been in the United States? Have you been to any of the National Parks? Do you like the outdoors?

My views on getting to know someone were not based on "What highschool did you go to?"

This was tragically frustrating for me, and I was thru with dating. Not only that, but I was sure the right one for me was not out there. Or, maybe I'd just passed him in a crowd and not known it was him.

Honestly had reconciled with myself that I would be alone and grey due to my standards that I wanted a man with brains, or at least enough brains to figure out what questions it takes to get to know someone.

Long story short, I met the love of my life online 8 years ago.

Don't give up.

It does happen.

Hugs

NO I DON'T
I believe that the human animal is a very social creature and intimacy is as much a need as food or shelter is. Keeping a man in solitary confinement is the worst way to punish a human being. Why so many of us are alone is a mystery to me. I've been alone for a good portion of my life and actually liked it that way...for a time.
Thinking that you might be "meant" to be alone is a pretty good way to make that come true though. Meeting people in here is a great start, IMO.

t, d&h, lateshift, please reread my post. It is very clear why a certain percentage of males remain perpetually single. It is a well known phenomenon. There are over 1 million single men 18-35 in Britian who will never have a girl friend.

As for having a partner...it really doesn't matter, if she comes I'll embrace her with open arms...but to be honest I'm never alone, my friends sustain me and if it weren't for them I wouldn't be here.

At cerain times in their life and sometimes even for long periouds but definetly not forever. I believe a common piece of advice given that forever and never are rarely correct words to use. Whether two people get together or not is initially based entirely on their outward behavior as this is the only thing that is first visible to the other person. So people with an invert type personality while not meant to be alone do have a huge disadvantage to overcome in meeting someone new.

I don't think anyone is "meant" for anything...the future is what we make of it all on our own.
No predestiny, no fate....just US and the decisions we make.
