Women are not an issue. Even getting the "right" one.

I really just enjoy being alone.

Old man here, age 61. Although I enjoy good company, I find that it’s very difficult to find people who I can have an intelligent conversation with on most topics. Most of the time I find myself thinking circles around most people and in huge disagreement with them. I won’t bother engaging them because it’s futile.

Young people are insufferable these days. It’s impossible to have any sort of conversation with them. They have no sense of humor and take everything literally. Everything offends them.

I’m 13 months from retiring and I’m the oldest guy in my office. The young people are morons.

We live in the age of narcissism where at your age, that is not what held sway in your youth.

This is the most tragic of all.

This. I get all the interaction with the general dumbass public at work. Other than that I’m perfectly happy at my home doing my thing.

I do not enjoy “having company.” Mainly because it triggers my wife into having to deep clean an already clean house for two days just to have folks over for three hours.

I chose well in marriage.

My wife did not choose as well.

This sounds like inner-monologue narration if they make an American Psycho sequel where Patrick Bateman eats his meals standing over the kitchen sink. :-)

To keep my sanity and energy levels high enough to enjoy life I avoid energy vampires. I would rather be alone than subject myself to inane small talk and the drama in someone else's life.

Exactly, couldn’t have said it better. How people can enjoy a group of people and all that intense energy is beyond me, I can’t do it.

Sure but I'm an adult and realize the family my wife and I created are better than me alone. Maybe you should you stop fricking dogs and grab something real to hang on.

The older I get, the more I cherish my solitude. I'll be 74 in a few weeks and I've felt this way for quite some time now. I've only got so many years left, so I don't want to spend them listening to word salad drivel.

By myself, there's no need to pretend I'm listening to someone telling the same story for the 5th time or hearing about the bickering going on between the females in the family-------------I don't give a damn.

I especially dislike people who feel the need to circumnavigate the globe when telling me something that should take only 2 minutes to get the point across.
