I can attest to the fact that “the art of being single” isn’t perfected by everyone. Some people are the type that has to have someone in their life at all times. You know, the serial monogamists who go from one relationship to the next with little to no break between. I don’t think it’s a good thing or bad thing, personally. It’s a matter of personal preference and really great timing, but it’s rare that I meet a man who admits to needing a woman in his life.
I have, however, met and dated newly single divorcees who have that whole “nestling” thing going. This is when they immediately want someone to feel the void of their ex-wife. Almost anyone one will do, really. It’s like being the ultimate rebound girl, except with home-cooked meal requests.
Do you believe men dislike being single? Is it a myth that having all that freedom is the reason why men delay marriage?
Ladies, has a man ever told you that he doesn’t mind being single? Do you meet men who actively seek a relationship and don’t mind admitting it?

Morning Peoples,
Morning 2C…
i have only met one or two guys who claim the “i hate being alone” gene, ime for the most part they are perfectly content with playing the field for as long as possible (provided they havent met actual WIFE material, not gf but someone they know they want to marry). one of my best friends right now, has been dating this girl for something like 4 or 5 years, they bought a house together last year, just had a baby about 2 weeks ago, and he tells me that if he were to get married she’d be the one, but he’s also still accepting of one night stands on other “options” along the way. makes me wonder what has to happen for themt o grow out of it, lol

I have met plenty of dudes who claim to not have an issue being single but at the same time, I believe they have their days where they wish they had time with that ’someone special’. At same token, I’ve met a few men that stated they were looking for something more solid as far as a relationship, marriage, family etc…

Good topic WiseDiva.
I’ll share my thoughts while I have a few minutes.
I think with men as well as women it’s merely a desire or preference.
I may have met one or two men in my life that seemed more interested in being in a relationship than they were in the women themselves.
While being single is okay many just want to be in a relationship. Not so much as need to be but want to be and there is nothing wrong with that. To want companionship is actually normal.

Good Morning All,
Okay last day at work this week and I am gonna try try try to get one good day of blogging in..
I have met both of these guys..the guy who is newly divorced and ready to pick up where he left off..cause as he state..”I don’t like being alone..”(him I found a bit creepy)
But I also know the guys who have been so wounded from the divorce/relationship that they have become either the paranoid hermit who is scared to come out for fear of actually having a good time to the bitter dude still singing the someone done done somebody wrong song. I think that this is not a fact or fiction thing more a doing what works for you. For Real is not the first guy I ran across who says I don’t want a relationship..I just want to do the rabbit dance on occasion and will admit that anytime he gets deep and involve he purposely mess it up..(I think there is something deeper going on there..but that’s a whole other Oprah..)

Slim, I agree with you.
We all have our days when even just for a second we wish we had the opposite.
Some days when I am just whipped I for a second may think if I was single with no kids I can just do XYZ.
When I was single some days I was more than okay with it but others I desired a relationship. It’s normal.
And like Rell has stated while many will be alone, man and woman by nature are not meant to be alone. Hence the desire for each other. Or at least some type of companionship.
You often here of people have pets for companions. That’s because our make up is wire to desire companionship.

Hey Kym. Yeah I said I will chat with yall for a few while I wait for my men to return.
We are driving up to Cleveland today. We were supposed to be leaving at 9:30 but the husband and the boy left about 15 minutes ago to go to his office and then to fill up the truck. The marido going to close up the office for the rest of the week. He decided last night that he would just give everyone the rest of the week off so he is going in this morning to close all loose ends and tell ‘em all to go home.
We have an 11 hours drive ahead of us so I hope they aren’t gone too long. Everything is packed and loaded on the truck. When they get back it’s just a matter of getting Liz in strapped in her seat and we are off.

My marido says he is going to try to go the distance and only stop once so he needed to sleep to at least 7am.
It’s going to be a good ride with the boy tagging along. Good family time. I may let him sit in front with Mase while Liz and I sit in the back watch movies on the dvd player or take a nap or two.

2) I would have to sell or rent out my townhome
3) I would have to find daycare for my son
4) I would have to find a job

This guy that I briefly dated in college is on that site

now there were rumors he had a kid but I didn’t know it was true till I saw his pic on that site on blast.
It gets worse. Not only did his baby mamma put him on that site, she created her own website dedicated to how much of a loser he is.
Turns out that he assaulted a chick in grad school and baby mamma found out about it and put that on the site as well
WOW is all I can say. I wonder why he has not sued her for defammation of character but if she has court documents, etc to back up her claims then maybe it’s not a lie
WOW! and to think- that was my homeboy in college and after college we went on like maybe a few dates

Good Morning,
My divorce will be final shortly so I will be in the group of men who are newly divorced out there. However, I am not looking to fill the void of my STBX. I enjoy being single for now. I enjoy the freedom I have to do things I choose to do. Would I love to be married again? Absolutely. But only if and when the right woman comes along. Until then, I will enjoy what life has to offer.

A recent article stated that 40 percent of Americans believe marriage is obsolete – and I tend to agree. I’m glad as hell to have my children. They are my reason for living. But, for a lot of folks for a lot of reasons, marriage just doesn’t work!

Worth repeating. It’s nice to hear that from a male’s perspective…that’s what’s up. If there was more honesty and truth involved from the beginning alot of drama wouldn’t happen. Granted some women do it anyway only to get burned in the end. When a man lies to a woman he takes away her choice as to whether she wants to be a part of his rotation or not….some would never do that if given the choice…so just be upfront.

As far as ROI goes, most chicks don’t bring much to the table — not speaking financially here, as I think that any man that concerns himself with a woman’s finances is either a wimp or can’t afford a woman — I’m talking about what she can bring that improves the way of life.
Chicks bring a lot of unnecessary drama. Mendacity is a way of life for them. They can easily get quite bossy, wanting everything their own way, not allowing a man to lead. It’s a hassle, and I’d gotten to where I was quite happy to do without all that.
That is, except for my girl. There are exceptions to everything. She’s still a female, for sure, but she brings intangible value that enhances the quality of our lives, and it makes it worth it.

I’ve observed that quite a few widowed men will be quick to marry again because they are used to that companionship. A lot of the times they will remarry quicker than a divorced guy.

Chicks bring a lot of unnecessary drama. Mendacity is a way of life for them. They can easily get quite bossy, wanting everything their own way, not allowing a man to lead. It’s a hassle, and I’d gotten to where I was quite happy to do without all that.

Not your usual eat-til-you-are-stuffed fest. LOL No mashed potatoes, no dressing, no turnip green, etc. She warned me to cook here at home so my family will have what they know thanksgiving to be when we get back but I told her we will just go to her house Friday for a remix of this year’s turkey day.

“affording a woman” and “not allowing a man to lead” are along the same lines of foolish thinking – I expect better of you.
Affording “a woman” is affording her the lifestyle that you want to share with her (as your noted gifts to your girl have suggested). But it’s also affording the life you plan to build together, and unless you’re – the nebulous you- getting money like that, that is getting harder each day.
Also, “letting a man lead” the single silliest phrase in the ethos.
I lead, she follows, or not. But to ride on this train, I’m the conductor. She can’t let me do nothing..

When I was single, I had no issues at all. There was a point where I really wasn’t looking to get married at all and I had no problems whatsoever.
Now, even though my marriage is pretty good, I can totally understand why some men are completely gun shy about taking the plunge. There are many many men out here who have gotten anally raped by their ex during a divorce, and contrary to what a lot of people think, the divorce wasn’t due to him being a trifling SOB. Some women will just up and decide that “they aren’t happy anymore” and hit the guy with divorce papers out of the blue. Next thing you know, the guy is getting kicked out of the home that he pays for, he gets told when, where, and how long he can see his kids, etc etc. Yea, I can see why some men don’t get married.
Last, but not least, alimony needs to be abolished. In the case of a divorce where kids are involved, I’m all for making sure the kids are taken care of, but that whole deal about continuing to finance a lifestyle of a person that you are no longer involved with is for the birds.

“And because females are human beings too u have to allow them the freedom to challenge u as well.” – Again, I agree 1000% but the true measure of a leader is to delegate not abdicate.

It’s not as if you’d “allow circumvention” of leadership. It’s that the relationship becomes a battleground at that point. That’s along the lines of what I’d decided I could easily do without, after more than a decade of that kind of strife — it just plain wasn’t worth it. Frankly, it was likewise with dating: it just wasn’t worth it.
Except then my girl came along. Like I said, there are exceptions to everything.

Some of ya’ll are saying that when a woman decides she isn’t happy anymore, it something that has built up over time due to something that the man has done. While that is true in some cases, I’m sure ya’ll can agree that there are situations where the woman decides to leave it all just for the hell of it. Men are capable of some truly trifling behavior, but women are too.

Melo: “If it fails that’s when u either succumb or u walk.” – I would strikeout succumb and replace it with “make it work under your terms”.

Men don’t mind being single b/c they’re never “really” single. Most of the time our psyche just tells us that we need companionship. So depending on how you define it, single can just mean you don’t have “in-house” but if you have someone to call on that’s nothing more than a short drive away then it’s all good. That person doesn’t have to be a girlfriend.

Men are the biggest chumps in the world when it comes to females. They don’t understand that most women are genetically hardwired to crave two things, money and children, and that men are just the means to that end. A lot of guys naively blunder into marriage thinking it’ll be like Ozzie & Harriett before reality sets in. Singleness is fine. Shacking up is fine too long as you can escape with no strings attached. Marriage is mostly for fools.

“…you know, the serial monogamists who go from one relationship to the next with little to no break between”
Yea, can’t even lie that definitely used to be me. I was always “on to the next one” lol. Didn’t really matter to me though, because I just hated being single I just wanted to have that someone, but now after more than just a few relationships under my belt (successful and disasterous) I actually like being single.
Do you believe men dislike being single? Is it a myth that having all that freedom is the reason why men delay marriage?
It depends on the guy honestly. IMHO…i like being single. Sure, there are times when I wish I wasn’t, but for the most part being single is probably best for me since I’m just not ready to settle down. I still feel like I have a lot more to discover within myself and a lot more to do and accomplish in my own life and contrary to popular belief, i think a girlfriend would only slow me down. Time possibly spent with a SOS, could be time to go out and have drinks with my friends, hoop with the fellas, practice for guitar performances, save my money (lol)…I’m sure a lot of women think it’s stupid but when you’ve been in one relationship after another you start to realize how much time was wasted on making someone else happy instead of self. I’m embracing my selfishness can’t you tell? lol so in my case i’d say it’s definitely a myth. That freedom is precious.

Actually, I didn’t walk, she did. While it was okay with me to split, I wouldn’t have done it. Marriage isn’t a matter of having such a choice, to me — it’s a lifetime commitment, for better or for worse, as the vows say. Now, everything worked out just fine for me, but I can’t say my kids are better off for it (yet), and I know my ex isn’t better off for it, even if she’s the one that broke it all up.
In fact, I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet, the way things worked out for me personally. It’s a blessing from God, is what it is — and on that account, it’s a positive effect on my kids, too, because they can see that for what it is.

a good friend of mine recently just completed her 21 days…
Thanksgiving Year-Round
We’re particularly gifted in the finger-pointing department when it comes to our romantic relationships—you know, where the other person is the one who needs to change. Let me explain how something extremely simple, taking less than 5-minutes a day, can literally change your life.
A few years back, a friend of mine was complaining about his wife. From my observation, she was a terrific lady, and he was lucky to have her. I told him as much, but he continued to point out all the ways she was responsible for his unhappiness. That’s when I shared an experience that had literally changed my marriage… and me.
One Thanksgiving, I decided to keep a Thanks Giving journal for my wife. Every day for an entire year I logged at least one thing I appreciated about her—the way she interacted with her friends, how she cared for our dogs, the fresh bed she prepared, a succulent meal she whipped up, or the beautiful way she styled her hair that day—whatever. I looked for the things my wife was doing that touched me, or revealed attributes, characteristics, or qualities I appreciated. I wrote them all down secretly for the entire year. By the end of that year, I’d filled an entire journal.
When I gave it to her the following Thanksgiving, she cried, calling it the best gift she’d ever received. (Even better than the BMW I’d given her for her birthday!) The funny thing was that the person most affected by this gift was me. All that journaling forced me to focus on my wife’s positive aspects. I was consciously looking for all the things she was doing “right.” That heartfelt focus overwhelmed anything I might have otherwise complained about. I fell deeply in love with her all over again (maybe even more than ever, as I was seeing subtleties in her nature and behavior instead of her more obvious qualities). My appreciation, gratitude, and intention to find the best in her was something I held in my heart and eyes each day. This caused me to show up differently in my marriage, which, of course, made her respond differently to me. Soon, I had even more things to write in my Thanks Giving journal! As a result of choosing to take a mere five minutes every day or so to document all the reasons why I was grateful for her, we experienced one of the best years of our marriage, and it’s only gotten better.
After I shared my experience, my friend decided to keep a Thanks Giving journal about his wife. Within the first few months, he completely turned around his marriage. Choosing to look for and focus on his wife’s positive qualities changed his view of her, which changed how he interacted with her. As a result, she made different choices about the way she responded to him. The cycle perpetuated. Or, shall we say, compounded

Re-Create Yourself
Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define if for you. Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.

What Rell posted is really no different of the concept that Oprah talked about as far as keeping a Gratitude journal…or any more different than praying daily for all the little-to-big blessings we get on a daily basis. How easy it is to complain so much that you are missing what is actually good in your life, whether that be in the form of a wife with the imperfections unique to her, or a friend or a job or someone at the register behind you willing to give you 3 cents out of their pocket just to keep you from breaking that other dollar, or that side piece willing to come over at the break of dawn to make you holla…

@Slim – no, no alcohol involved…(pondering to myself – tho i suppose that would be an interesting addition). all natural – its a tea made out of fresh ginger root and some form of citrus fruit (whatever you wanna use). chop em up, throw in a big pot of water and stew for at least 90 minutes, a bit longer if you have the time (you want it to be nice and strong, i usually do between 2 and 3 hours, add a little more water as it boils down). add a little honey and drink as hot as you can. it wont be the best tasting stuff, what medicine is, but it’ll clear up the stuffiness and let you sleep, wake up a brand new Slim. works wonders over here, one of the few good things i got from the BD, lol.

Hmmmm…..sounds like a recipe I may need to hold onto. Do you have to grind the ginger root up or just throw the whole shibang in there?

the real problem is when we (men and women) want the cake to eat it too, don’t commit if your not willing to sacrafice, being with someone takes maturity because you can’t always have it your way, I’m a guy and the one problem I have with ladies is ya’ll preach that I want a good man, but when you atain that man, you stop doing the things that got him, we will never say it but if you take the time to make us feel like a king you WILL feel like a queen, if you nagg and make us feel like ya’ll do boy’s, then we will be up in someone else who does make us feel good.

dont throw it in whole, just cut it in like 1/2 inch or so slices or chunks, makes it easier to stew down. the fruit just cut it like you would if you were gonna eat it, in half or quarters or whatever, try and squeeze a little of the juice out and just throw em in peel and all. for like a spaghetti type pot (what is that like 4 quarts or so) i usually use about 2/3 of a hand of ginger and 3 or 4 pieces of fruit.
