Is there anything wrong with being proud to live without women ? I haven't had a girlfriend for five years, and everybody's surprised because I'm proud to live without women . Is there anything wrong with being proud to live without women ? I'm NOT a homosexual ... I just don't need a woman to be right with myself .

I think what you mean is that, you're proud to not need anyone else to make you happy. I don't think you should say you're proud to live without women, cause that sounds like you hate women.
Again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But don't hate women, when the right one comes along don't be afraid.

Why would pride come into it? If you've chosen to be celibate, that's fine. Lots of men and women do this. Sometimes they're just not ready for a relationship. Sometimes they don't want one. Or, they've come out of a bad relationship and need time to heal. And no, you don't need a woman to be right with yourself. In fact, the best way to live is without NEEDING anyone to love. That is, a love affair should be based on something you want, rather than a specific need.
There's nothing wrong with your present lifestyle, except that when you're proud of living without women, it suggests something other than choice. Better be sure of your motives.

It's great that you're happy without a girlfriend, and don't feel any pressure to find one. It's great that you like your life and are contented on your own. Not sure I understand why you should feel "proud" about it, however!
To me, that sounds just a little defensive. You're happy with the choices you've made so far in your life, you don't dislike women, you just don't need a woman to be right with yourself. That's absolutely fine. But why "proud"?
That makes me wonder if your experience of women from your mother, maybe sisters, and any girlfriends you had in the past has been rather difficult - did they all want to organise the life out of you? If so, I can understand your pride at having proved to yourself that you can not only live without them, but your life can also be fulfilling and enjoyable.
But don't let that success make you so feel so superior that you end up missing the one woman who might just make it even happier, will you?

Well I guess it all depends on how old you are and if you ever want to get married and have a family. There's nothing wrong with just living your life the way you want to live it for yourself. But if you intend on having a family some day then maybe you should consider looking to meet Mrs. Right. There are pros and cons of having a gf I guess. Pros of course is having somebody there to share your hopes and dreams with and having somebody to love and to love you, etc. But on the other hand, if you don't have anybody then you can do what you want when you want and not have to answer to anybody but yourself. So I guess if you aren't lonely at all and are happy with how you are deciding to live your life, then continue to do so and don't let anybody tell you any different.

Nothing wrong with it. Maybe you are one of those individuals that prefers to be alone and not have someone in your life. It seems like a rare concept with the focus of everyday life being on relationships, physical appearance, and pleasing the opposite or same sex. I myself struggle being alone and not by choice. You are just a person with a strong character and pretty much are happy with your life the way it is and do not need to have someone in your life to feel complete. I think thats an admirable trait.

no, I know some guys that are middle aged that have had long term girlfriends and long times of being single and they're some of the coolest guys I know.
Think about it, while you're single you don't have to shave all the time, you don't have to share the remote, you don't have to ask to go watch football at a bar with your friends, you can flirt any time you want and not get an earful.
If you want to know more, just talk to a couple of married guys!

Is there anything wrong with a straight woman being proud to live without men. Live with or without whomever you want.

Hmm....I think being happy single is one thing, but being proud that you don't need women is sort of suggesting you view women negatively. I hope thats not the case and that you are just really enjoying your life as a single guy:-) Thats perfectly fine.

People always try to push you into what they want. Don't listen to them. It is your life. They should just be happy that you are happy. Too many people (look at some of these postings) jump into relationships so fast and are MISERABLE! My husband had in his mind what he wanted, he got pressured into dating a couple of times, but he really wanted to wait. He was a virgin when we married. Trust me he got a lot of slack. But who cares? He is married now to the woman of his dreams (his words) and I'm the luckiest woman alive. Hang in there and ignore them, you'd think they'd be busy enough handling their own messes.....

You can be considered as an asexual, it's a condition that is well respected., because in this universe there are so many things to do and learn that don't include relationships with women.
