Twenty years together, happily married.
Although she did say she'd cart all my gaming stuff off to a charity shop if I ever pegged it
Not sure how I feel about this
Sure about being pegged?.....

Count me in the happily single club. Did my 20 years in the Marriage Mines. It had high points and lows like you'd expect. My kids are grown and are awesome people to hang out with. Just not motivated to seek a relationship anymore, even a great woman comes with a load of baggage, commitment of time, emotional energy, money, freedom, etc. etc. Besides, women in my age group nowadays are not very tempting, a lot of them have let themselves go and become goblins or chunguses, or are hopelessly still trying to look 30 and just end up looking weird.

Ain't that the truth. I look around at most women my age, even the girls I knew from school and christ..
Put it this way, if I ever get divorced, I'm glad I at least game.
I doubt I'd ever go looking again.

I'm 56 and recently browsed some dating sites & was scared away from even remotely thinking of hooking up with women around my age.
When my last serious relationship ended in 1999 I knew I was done.
Not angry or bitter, just done with relationships.
I've had my share of flings and fun with some escorts but I've been pretty much asexual since 2016.
Dunno if it's lower testosterone but the connection from my brain to my dick seems broken
And I'm fine with that, I had my time in the sun.
Besides over the years I developed habits I wouldn't change to allow someone else in my life.
I always thought a companion was a good bonus to have, not a necessity in order to feel whole or complete.
I'm my own best friend and high five myself every morning

Right? You get to an age where your dick isn't in charge of you and it's kind of liberating. When I was young I would have done just about anything for some pussy. Glad it no longer rules my life.Dunno if it's lower testosterone but the connection from my brain to my dick seems broken
And I'm fine with that, I had my time in the sun.

I'm hood married, like no legal status but I call her my wife and live like we're married. I have a step daughter who I raise like my own, too.
I definitely had a lot of fun in the single periods of my life. It can be addicting/exhilarating. But you can't do it forever.

from early on I have put a lot of work into not tolerating bullshit. been in a biz for the past five years thats exclusively men or women that are on the level and its heaven - work wise. the discussions i had with my backoffice girls before that, jeezles creezles, you could have thought you had five marriages on the go.
i'm not picky apart from wanting an active girl (sports, walks, gym) with her own circle of friends and a job. we'll see how that pans out

Divorced. Been celibate 5+ years, now going steady with a girl who's 11yrs younger than me for past year or so. (Me=51, her=39)
She wants to move in and have been talking about marriage - but honestly I don't want either one of that.
I like my autonomy and drama free quiet week day nights - as she doesn't share any house work with me when she stays over (like cooking, dish washing or general cleaning).
Even though I enjoy the companionship over the weekend and love her, I feel rather exhausted after she leaves.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I'm ESL, so I have to ask... Is there a word that means "beyond single"? Because that's where I am.
But hey, I'm happy. As long as I'm able to put my hee inside some ho from time to time, life is good and most of all, peaceful. No dramas, just comfy.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
In my mid 40s, been married twice… lived with 2 other women… haven’t spent more than 2-3 months single in the last 30 years. Just an endless string of relationships often overlapping because I’ve been a cheating bastard before.

Yes after a LTR ended 3 years ago I've had 3 dates
All ended on the first
Been to 7 speed dating events with women my age range
Not a single match
Shits fucked up
I've been told I just give off "friend energy" too much. But I think they can sense I'm fucked up on the head.

I'm retarded?
Single by choice? Hard to say. I have a few coworkers who no doubt want me, but Im just kinda...passive? Financially Im not in a good place, nor can I take them anywhere cuz I live with my folks, and I dont feel like giving up my free gaming time just to get emotionally stressed. Most women I know who like me are the travel sorts, not the gaming sorts. There is one girl that games a lot and likes me but she also has a cool bf so thats def a nah.
Eh, not sure what I wanna do with my meh life aside from just playing games tbh. Porn still holds me for now, but yeah...sometimes I do have cravings.

There's other way to tell me you're interested OP.
Like buying me a ps5 disk drive for christmas
(but as of now im in a one year old relationship with a beautiful lady, after being for 4 years with the woman i thought would become my wife. Still there's time before christmas so you better buy me that disk drive just in case)

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I broke up with my girlfriend earlier this year and it was basically constant stress and I dreamed about being single. Honestly, now that I'm single I sort of wish I was in a relationship again, but then the stress of the relationship starts to rear its ugly head and I want to be single again. Also, at my age online dating is basically the only way to meet people and I really don't want to put myself through that. I'm content being single for now I suppose.

I kinda don't really care about having a girlfriend
Last real girlfriend was a year and a half, but we decided to end things and then loose touch. We broke in 2009, and I have no idea where she is now
From time to time Tinder brings some girl, we date a little and then falls. Next

Have a business partner that feels the same way, and is pretty much in the exact same position as you. He refers to himself as "an outside cat". Its a great analogy!
If I cook for someone (and...as a fat person on their way to a smaller fat person...I am a pretty good cook) I don't expect them to clean the dishes. They should always offer to though...that's just what ya do!
Personally I am far too selfish to be in a relationship.
I know I am an asshole and wouldn't want to subject anyone to that...besides they would CLEARLY have awful taste in men

You gotta be honest with that girl, man, you can't string along a 39 year old woman, it's not right.
I dated a girl I quite liked who made it clear that she wasn't into the idea of marriage or cohabitation (with anyone), and those are things I knew I wanted, and so we knew even though we liked each other otherwise, we had to find what we needed elsewhere.
And the cool thing was we had an open relationship from that point on. We had great sex and hung out all the time and dated other people, and eventually she met a guy who was much more on the same page as what she wanted and I met my wife, and we ended the sexual relationship, but we're still friends and we're both happy.
But if I wasted years on that relationship I wouldn't have been. And a 39 year old woman looking at maybe her last shot to have a family? Way less likely to be cool about having her time wasted.

Yeah, every relationship has something to teach you, and it's your job to learn it and apply that lesson going forward. I feel like all my long term relationships led me to where I am now.
Sometimes you gotta bench yourself for a bit before you're ready. But if you're never ready, then you aren't doing the work.

I hear you - and I have been upfront about no marriage, no kids, and no living together from the beginning... (at least for now - at least until my high school senior child moves out of house.)
When we first started dating, she was on the same page about no marriage and no kids. But "living together" has come up not too long after we started seeing each other steady, as well as an expensive ring for her 40th birthday - even if it's not about marriage - saying it's about "commitment".
Not sure what the meaning of "commitment" really is for her. I thought the committed relationship is really about how both parties feel to each other, rather than something to show for in fiscal way. But she wants ring, wants me to sell my house and get a bigger one with big windows where she can work. (I really like my current house, tbh).
And the other the day, she got quite pissed that I do not want to have more kid(s) - and while she was the one who brought up the whole thing about not having kids, when I recite the same thing to her - it's an insult to her.
. Perhaps it's the age thing that she just turned 40 a few days ago, that maybe she does want a child.Perhaps you are right - that I maybe wasting her time. My intent of the relationship was loving/having fun being with each other, but be independent during the weekdays - as both of our jobs are very demanding. I really don't have energy to take care of her like a caretaker (3 meal cooking of what she likes, not mine - cleaning, laundry etc)... and she knows that too. I told her my stance that my position of living together won't change unless she shares the workload that it's not all that lopsided - and she agreed - but she has not changed much.
At least she's bringing dishes to the sink after the meal these days, so that I can wash them - so that's a start.

Yep. Single. Out of the loop for so long I wouldn't know where to begin - can you even ask a girl out anymore or is that super cringe or is it classed as misogynistic?!
Also to be fair, I kind of like my single life - friends in relationships have deffed me out but fuck em' just shows they weren't really friends.
I've been able to travel all round the world to places I never thought I'd see and have a decent income that has allowed me to enjoy my hobbies - of which that is my only real issue - I don't go out often so I guess I'm not going to get the chance to meet many girls - but again, see first point. I've also recently reached the magical 50 years on this god-forsaken planet milestone and have been single for a fair few of those years.
Get miserable around Christmas time seeing couples out having fun - but are they really or is it just a show?

It really depends if you’re strikingly attractive and /or clearly give off a wealthy, confident man vibe.
Otherwise, no one woman is going to say yes first try. Especially the good-looking ones.
And yeah, an approach in real life has good chances of getting classed as cringy / misogynistic / harassment and getting completely unwarranted reactions. So if first try doesn’t go well, you won’t get a second try, ever.

Asking out strangers is pretty much just for bars/clubs these days. Or apps, or like a space or event where it's expected.
If it's someone you know socially and have some kind of relationship with, yeah use your judgement.
