Is there really? Because I think it's more the insecurity of the person going alone than anything else. Most people don't notice or care if you do something alone.
If you think there isn't, try being a single guy at brunch or an wine and painting night

am being honest when I say the first year (29) made me feel like I needed someone due to past history, but I learned how to play the new game and more importantly learned to live alone! the last two year (30,31) have been some of the best of my life.
Meet all kinds of new people and different kinds of ladies. It's been awesome.
See when I was in college I stayed single and had my fun. Then right after college got into this current relationship but it hasn't been overbearing due to distance. I've been able to slowly condition myself since I didn't go from free to not free overnight. I still do what I want, but it's getting old and becoming bad for my health. Weekend drinking binges and coke benders tend to wear you down after a number of years

Sometimes the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if there has been a concerted effort to destroy the nuclear family via imbalanced divorce courts and welfare. There's no denying the influence that a strong family contributes to determining success in future generations. I've wondered if certain individuals wanted to remove that influence and thus reduce the future competition for themselves and their own.
I would suggest you look into the Frankfurt School and cultural marxism along with the KGB's efforts to subvert the US. If you're wondering whether there IS a conspiracy, well you're on the right track. It began in the 1920s, exploded with the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, and has exploded again recently.
My advice to you is, follow the money. Ask yourself the following questions:
Who benefits from the lack of a nuclear family?
Why are the people pushing to destroy the nuclear family also pushing for other leftist societal changes?
Why are the same people pushing this stuff also pushing for massive increases in immigration?
Everything that you're seeing is interconnected and it is not a coincidence.

Looks like we live the same lifestyle. I'm at that point too - ready for my SO to be home more permanently. I'm not the person who is going to sit in my house every night when I'm alone, and it is getting to be bad for my health since I'm not too great at stopping myself when everyone else is going hard.

think some people feel awkward alone in public. There is a major social stigma against doing things alone like going to a movie, eating in a sit down restaurant, or attending a concert by one's self
Im 27 and i love eating by myself at a nice restaurant. It's relaxing to me. Sit down enjoy a nice steak and a beer and use the time as meditation to think or catch up on the news of the day on my phone. I don't mind going to bars alone either but I get along with people and make friends fairly easy

I eat alone all the time and you'd be shocked how often someone comments on it with a shocked look on their face

It is. In his amazing biography of Pope John Paul II, Witness to Hope author George Weigel went into the Soviet and Polish archives. These forces were in play, in Poland, from 1946 onward. Make it to where BOTH parents have to work, and at different times meaning there's no family time; put the kids in school, and they'll never see one parent for long periods. Put them in summer camps, sexualize them, promote abortion, and before long, there nuclear family is no longer the norm, or the "authority" but instead, the State becomes the substitute.
Then, you have subservient little Statists who turn into subservient apparatchiks who value so little but whatever the State tells them to value.
Western society has followed suit, but instead of forcing it down their throats like the Communists, it's been one little "movement" after another, including feminism, no-fault divorce, "empowerment" "Having it all," and we've embraced all those things that the Eastern Europeans took sixty years to throw off. Western society is behind this curve, right now, and we are just now, really, feeling the effects so badly.
It actually began simultaneously with Antonio Gramsci in Italy and the Frankfurt School in the Weimar Republic. The Soviet or better yet, the KGB, were actually late to the game. The subversion of the West by communists and marxists began well before the Soviets got involved.
This garbage is one of the primary reasons why the Germans went reactionary and went so far to the right. They had been fighting communists since the moment WWI ended. The shear amount of degeneracy in the Weimar Republic being pushed by the communists in 1920s Germany was even more extensive than what we see now in large part because the Germans were starving as a result of the Treaty of Versaille that ended WWI whereas we don't have that problem. In otherwords, people were willing to do anything to provide food for their families and many of these communists and marxists were more than willing to use these desperate people for their own ends.

Yeah but isn't that what restaurant bars are for? That may be one of the easiest ways to meet people as a single person. Not just for dating, networking in general.

Same. Don't you love those nights where you say "I'm just gonna have a few drinks and be home by midnight" then a fifth of whiskey and 2 grams of powder later you're stumbling in at 7 am

Wait until your late 20s when the hangovers start lasting 2+ days.

LL, you snort cocaine?

Just saying partying in general.
I am in my late 20s, and sadly, they've started going that route.

Man, probably 50% of the time I'd rather go do something alone so I'm not tied to entertaining anyone. I like being a complete shite show social butterfly type that runs by the seat of my pants and wants to meet every single person in a bar I walk into.
I give zero fricks what people thing about me going out drinking alone.
Posted on 10/9/17 at 12:14 pm to LouisianaLady
Dayum none of yall have Cajun fathers who passed down their alcohol genetics?
I still don't get hangovers.
Well let me refrain, as long as a dont mix clear and dark alcohol.
But I shoot Jack and Crown. That's my drink. I don't drink if either is not available.
