I am of marriagable age, but I do not feel anything for the institution of marriage nor any type of commited/non-commited relationships or any intimacy with the opposite or same sex. But I do appreciate a good laugh and enjoy people's company very much. I have so many interests that satisfy, I don't think a relationship satisfies. It is honestly (sigh**) a WASTE OF TIME. I'm not getting married, so what's the hurry? I am not ugly or of bad character or personality, just odd for my rather (let me not brag) genes.
Sometimes, I look all around and I see all struggle in this rat race to hook up and get married... But I feel apathy with that and feel it will BIND me up! I dislike the thought of it all. No pleasure is greater than music or the arts. I love to spend my time learning or not wasting any time on frivolous or inane conversation with some dude. Am I just completely ODD or are there people like me out there? I am a bit odd according to Erikson... I should be hookin up

I'm in my early forties and I have never married and/or have any children. From societies point of view we are odd, something must be wrong with us, etc. but most people do what they were taught to do, find someone, get married, and have children. Don't worry about it, do what you want to do, some day you might settle down or not. It does help to have a friend with benefits though, lol.

I know a lot of people that prefer single life to marriage. It's just a matter of choice and how you feel. There is no reason for you to be hooking up if you enjoy doing things like music or the arts. Be yourself and not what others want you to be.

if you are honestly happy being single/alone, then that's great..
abnormal? perhaps.
is there anything wrong with being slightly different? no, not at all.
i've been single and lonely most of my life, and i hate it. consider yourself lucky that it doesn't bother you.

*Gasp* You under no circumstances advised me Celine used to be your progress! Oh good. I bet each time I spilt gravey on her, I used to be relatively spilling it on you. <--- unearths this truth unusually erotic.
