    I'm in a relationship with an amazing, beautiful woman. I'm not trying to make you all jealous but she's the greatest gf ever. She's really sweet, intelligent, she'll do anything for me, she's a doll.

    Ah, that's really sweet. :) Nice to read things like that!

    I'm sorry to the bearer of bad news but she cheated on you with me.

    I'd like to know if it was the other way round.
    we have an open relationship, we're cool like that. But she said I was better.

    Is she yours? I think mine is sexier but I can see how you'd have fun with her.

    In a relationship 10 months. She does my head in now and again but at the end of the day...(It get's dark) I'd be lost without her

    actively seeking one, if your a male in his thirties and single , it leaves you a spare wheel when it comes to socialising , people avoid you and view you as a bit of a misfit , you find your not invited to stuff as much as you used to

    It's really sad to me to think that someone would get into a relationship because of what other people think/say/do. It would also make me question the strength/value/genuineness of said relationship, since you wouldn't be in the relationship solely for the person themselves. But each to their own. You're both adults. (I hope.)

    I'm the female equivalent - never ever encounter that myself. My friend feels more like you do though, but I reckon it's more to do with her overthinking things than being the reality.

    I prefer to be single, I don't conform to sleep mentality or try to keep up with what society says.

    Im very content, have my house nearly paid for, have a son who I love, a job that I enjoy and can come and go as I like.

    Im living the life of Riley.

    I love women but just don't think I have the time right now.

    Im enjoying my freedom :-D

    Being male, good looking and single is probably one of the greatest things in the world. If you have a fat wallet then you are living the high life.

    Not in one, don't want one.

    The whole settling down with someone and maybe eventually having children is something i doubt I'll ever want.

    Have no interest in that sort of a life.

    What does annoy me is when people of a similar age keep telling me that it's time I found someone and settled down and that you "only think you don't want kids"

    People think that because they're happy with their family life that it's something that everyone should aspire to.

    Even in this day and age society still expects that everyone should find a partner and have a family.

    I'm only interested in one night stands and I doubt that'll change any time in the future.

    Fair play to you, I could never see myself like that though, I'd love to be settled down and i'm only 22 :o That playing the field **** doesnt work for me...

    Yeah, would have been in one(my first) but right girl, wrong time. When I say yeh I like the idea of being in one but not really sure it entails, I'd love to go out with someone who you completely click with, and proper enjoy being around each other. Think that would be a given but a lot of relationships I see are just convenience, someone to bang etc. Maybe I've watched too much Disney movies.

    Is this what Disney is like after 9PM these days? :eek:

    Have fun with that when you're 50+ years old.
    It's nice to have a partner and a family when you're older.

    I got out of a 2 year relationship last year and it was a great experience (the relationship, not the breaking up fyi ;)).
    I'd love to get into another relationship, but of course with somebody that I click with.

    I've been "Playing the Field" the past year and to be honest I prefer being in a relationship, you can enjoy things more then bouncing between different women.

    I think that by "Playing the Field" eventually you'll find someone that sticks.

    I think Im actively avoiding one. I have a FWB situation that is rather sporadic. Oddly I don't want to spoil that by entering some random relationship which will probably take up time I dont have anyway. I work full time and study full time and I have plans to move locations in the next 6 months, so nothing serious is ever going to happen

    I have been single for roughly 8 years and not actively seeking. I despise the while flirting thing, it makes me cringe. There is something very false about it.

    No. I like not having to answer to someone too much. Plus I don't have the time.

    Relationships i find arent as common as they were, people arent meeting as much people are talking on facebook instead of meeting for chat. People are coming face to face with eachother alot less.

    Back to original question nay for me at the moment. My lifestyle just doesnt suit right now

    Of course it'd be nice for people who want that kind of life.

    You're another person who can't understand that some people just aren't interested in that.

    Not really at the moment, as I am trying to sort my career out and get a little bit of stability. Of course if I happen to meet someone great I wouldn't rule it out, but when I may have to move abroad in a month or two simply for work purposes it would not be then ideal to have to finish things off so quickly.

    Neither am I ruling casual flings out, but I don't think I could get into them as much as when I was younger now.

    For too many reasons to list, no.

    I'm probably happily married with kids in a parallel universe though.

    I'm recently out of one with someone who was great and I'd never clicked with somebody that well ever before, so at the minute I don't want a relationship. Not closed to the idea because I've grown to like them a lot, just that I'd rather take my time and go slow for a good while after the last one.
