Anyone else prefer the bachelor/bachelorette lifestyle?

I can say I prefer it over being with someone I don't really fully connect with, and since I can never seem to find anyone like that I guess the answer is yes. When I was younger I was into the 'opposites attract' thing and dated whoever, but now that I'm over 30 I kind of want a girl who's exactly like me so we can agree on stuff for a change. I just don't know how to find a girl who wants to smoke some weed, watch Hellboy 2, play shmups and crack up at youtube videos like the one of the dude smoking meth and singing in the shower. Any tips?

I had a long realtionship in highschool that ended badly and lead to 6 yeras of being single and living the life.
I then met my wife and DO NOT miss being single at all.
It was fun while it lasted though.

Let me know if you find one and she has a sister. Oh, she can't be fat either.
25. Never had a girlfriend. I worry that the fact I have never had a girlfriend might make it difficult for me to know how to function in a proper relationship. Another part of me, thinks that if I get a proper job and find a cute girl then I will want to be in a relationship. I kinda wanna know how it feels to be in love.

Haven't been single for much of my life at all. Long relationships in which you're pretty much living the single life because your SOs kick ass is pretty much tops. It's like having a partner in crime rather than an anchor.
I prefer being single. I took a break from dating after my last real relationship and it has now been 5 years. I told myself I'd go looking/start dating again if I got lonely or if I met someone I was really into and neither have happened.
I've got a good career, own a nice place, work out, have hobbies I enjoy, have friends when I feel like being social, etc. But the idea of spending every day with someone sounds miserable, I was never happy in relationships.
I know that's all a bit odd so I usually just change the subject when I'm asked about my dating life. I might worry about it if I was unhappy but I actually rather enjoy my life.

After seeing my older siblings more or less rush into marriage and start having kids. I am going to be a bachelor for as long as possible.
Marriage changes people, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

I've been single my entire adult life thus far. One-night hookups and the occasional escort girl is balance enough.
You mean like an open relationship?
I've always been single and every time I have a friend that's in a relationship I always have to hear the bullshit that being in a couple brings. But I've have never had an interest in being a relationship, but maybe that's because I haven't found the right girl yet. Only downside to being single would be the sex frequency (unless your a mac daddy). Now if you are in a relationship and not getting your dick/pussy wet, you aren't doing it right.

Every time I get in a relationship I feel trapped. I mean like when I have to spend my free time with my SO even if I don't want to. It's terrible

I did before I fell in love. That changed everything, as it tends to do.
Even though married, I honestly have as much freedom to do whatever now as when I was single. Most Fridays I go out and have a few beers and play pinball, then come home and smoke a bowl and listen to tunes or read graphic novels or play games. I'd be doing the same fucking thing if I were single.
If you're not able to still do the things you enjoy (within reason, like not sticking your dick in random club chicks) then it's a problem with your relationship, not relationships in general.

Ain't this the truth.
I love my alone time too much. I have no idea how I'm getting married.
My partner has been out at his sister's house over the past week (helping her with plumbing and electrical phases of construction), so aside from our cam/call sessions, it's been a pretty solitary week.
I like having to only clean-up after myself. And I like being able to turn up my really geeky music or TV choices without having to consider his tastes. I've been able to marathon a stream of C-SPAN each night, or put on some odd old music in the mornings without worrying that he'd get tired of this stuff. I've also slept on the couch each night; somehow, it's less depressing than going to our bed alone.
Even if I were single, I'd still be a homebody, so the whole "I-can-go-anywhere-I-want" thing doesn't really resonate with me all that much. If I were suddenly single again, I'd have extremely long odds on the prospect of meeting someone else, as I don't enjoy going out that much, and I'm incredibly shy, with a healthy dose of social awkwardness. Hell.. how we met was a fluke for me, and I tease him that if we should ever part ways, I'll likely be single again forever.
So being without him gets really old, really quick, and I'm ready for him to come home on Sunday (he can play Wii U Mario with me then!). We've been together for 16 years, and we're not apart for long time periods very often. I miss him.

I know a 36 russian milf I can bareback as a fuck buddy pretty much any day of the week
shes married with three kids...
I guess if you can set up fuck buddies then yes
otherwise no
all I know is I get more sex than her hubby does
been in relationships before, they always turn into drama for me one way or another

I'm 34, currently in a three-year relationship with a great gal. Thing is I don't see myself being married in the foreseeable future. There are still so many things I wanna do: get my own house, get enough cash, travel the world, support my parents so they'll be comfortable in their retirement age, and I see marriage as something that will be a hindrance to those plans.
Thankfully, my girl is also not of the marrying mindset right now and she's busy with her own family as well so we're just enjoying each other's company. It also helps that we respect each other's privacy and that we're both homebodies so we're not pressured to go out every day just to feel like "we're in a relationship". Marriage right now is something we do not want to bother with. But in the future? Sure, why not.
