Lead on from another thread I see a lot of poster pretty much come out and say that you must be sad to not want to be in a relationship when I commented about being single and not wanting a relationship. Now I get this in real life when other mainly friends of my parents who cant understand why in not in a relationship and haven't produced grandkids for them yet or friends of mine who are in relationship with kids and wonder why im single.
The worst kind though are women that think im gay for being single yea ok being single means your gay now strange female logic there.

Now I chose to be single mainly for the fact im selfish ive worked since 16 fking hard to earn enough money to enjoy my hobbies cars and motorsport, ive got a mx5 and an exocet track car throughout the summer im either out on track days or car shows/meets/runs throughout wales. I don't drink/smoke etc my interest is cars. I don't want to spend my hard earned money on some pointless fking piece of rock (diamond ring) and spend an obsene amount of money on a marriage that has a 50% chance of divorce.

Now im 23 single in the best time of my life im working hard to make my goals achievable ive achieved a few and got a lot more to go the main one is setting up my own business.
This is my personal opinion and the way I want to live my life wtf do other people think I should conform to the society's norm to get married have kids etc.

I can more than likely guess how some of the comments will go, going from the other thread.

Ermmm... you were not shamed for being single, you were mocked for being galactically fking mental.

Grow up.

If you didn't claim to drink or smoke, you might appear to have a slightly - very stoned and/or inebriated point.

However, you're 23. Take a few months off from the masterplan and try and do the things you seem to hate. You might enjoy it and see things in a new light.


If you don't, you go back to playing with man things (or even man bits, should thatbe your boat floater).

You have a very poor opinion of a relationship then.

I have a girlfriend who I adore, I love seeing her (most days)
I have a 1 year old daughter who is my world.
We have purchased our own flat, and will be moving into a house next year.

Yet I'm currently launching my own business, I love my cars (have a daily as well as a e36 track car project for the next few years) I work very hard and in my role I am one of the youngest in my position, and I enjoy myself to the same extent you do I assume.

There is nothing I'm losing out on from being in a relationship.
There's nothing I had to give up. (Apart from my 2 seater 350z) which has been replaced with a better car.

Oh, and I'm 23 too.

If you can't pull a woman pay for one - you might realise there is a lot of fun to be had!

Are you a virgin / bi curious?

Chap, just chill out, it's 100% your choice to do whatever you want to do and at 23 your really under no pressure to do anything.

You do realise you can have all that you listed AND be in a relationship don't you, the key is to find the right partner.

That's the important bit...I'd be more concerned if you posted you were desperate to get married....just enjoy your life I dare say your views will change my did.

Come back in 2 years if you still feel you're gay. Most who have these urges have grown out of it by 25.

You sound like one of my best mates. He's of a similar opinion but 35 now.

Still single, lives at home so he can get the business off the ground and save for a big house he'll eventually rattle around inside... Alone.

I cant help that life is passing him by. I have less in common with him than ever. Im married, kids, own house etc etc. Its difficult to talk to him about these things as he has no experience of them. The joys and issues etc.

We've always guessed he's gay. I raised this once and he freaked out with such a big homophobic response the lady do protest too much! In someway I hope he is gay. Not so we can run off in some gay affair so that the old boy comes out and starts to live his life.

I'm 26 and I'm so desperately alone. Every night I sit in my car which is my only friend and cry while I read car magazines. None of the girls I ask to show me their tits do and I just don't know where I'm going wrong.
