Being Single At My Age

[Bod]

Really at 34 I should be happily married with two kids, husband going bald with expanding waistline and a rust-bucket excuse for a car outside the house. Where did I go wrong?

[Big McLargehuge]

You didn't go wrong, marriage is a fucking fraud any way. Who is stupid and weak enough to think that they need validation for their life relationships. And at least you are not popping out kid after kid to contribute to overpopulation.

[CaptainBubba]

I wouldn't know I am 19 and have been in a steady relationship for 2 years lolol.

[Dole]

Yeah but think of it like this Bubba...chances are it will definitely end as you are only 19, or if it doesnt you will both realise at age 26 that you got into a long term relationship far too early, and you will both harbour deep underlying resentment for each other, until one of you has the balls to break it off in a messy, painful way. Enjoy.

Bod: I feel your pain. I was single for a couple of years in my early 30s, and people DO start to think you are weird/gay/obviously a serial killer etc. Just be assured you are by no means the only one.

[Bod]

I know I'm OK, was on one last night, got me parents regularly phoning me up - "You not got a boyfriend yet?" and "I like that bloke you're a mate with, he's got a good job, you'll probably start seeing him".

And male friends who have been nothing but mates for years, all of a sudden are keeping their distance cos their partners see a single female as a risk. Like now that I'm single I've lost all my morals and am going to start shagging all men, regardless if they're in a relationship.

It's all bollocks.

[Dole]

all men? that could be lengthy.

[Bod]

All men belonging to someone else.

Yes I am a busy woman.

[Mr. Fugo]

Never mind the bollocks... Here's the joy of eating beans straight from the can.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I'm confused, Bod...you want a man, or you're happy without one?

[Sethomas]

I can't wait until I go to England, hopefully next Spring.

[Chojin]

Have you scheduled a make-out appointment?

[Sethomas]

Come on, I'm trying to work my magic subtly here!

[kellychaos]

thin line between subtlety and stalkery

[MetalMilitia]

And the fact you fence does not do you any favours.

[Pub Lover]

Of all Seth's shortcomings, fencing isn't very significant.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I think it's more the size of his "foil"...

[Sethomas]

Man, I want to have mansex with Pub sometimes.

I have stood near your pain, knowing a fair few people who had been in that situation.

But take heart in the fact that you are older and will die a lot sooner.
