Single by Choice

[peachesandcreamz]

Guys, I feel only you would understand how stupid this is. Long story short I was on this free counselling site talking about the fact that I think I’ve developed feelings for someone for the first time in my life (it’s a no go btw). I explained that I’ve never had these feelings and had been happily single forever. And the person replied “you need to get married” (not to this person I like, just in general). And “it’s the only solution” Great, thanks.

Hahahahaha WHAT!! What exactly does that solve?!

Didn't see the dating thread on this will have a look for it

It’s in the advice forum.

Dating after lockdown #38 midnight messages from the ghost of boyfriends past

Just a little update for you all on the cocklodger situation. He has started moving things out. Some clothes and toiletries have gone. So I think he will be gone by this weekend. I’m devastated and feel sick but I know it’s for the best.

FDS is still around on the down low truly a revolutionary attitude changer for me that I would implore any straight women to look at.

Did it get taken down? I looked at the subreddit, and it doesn’t seem active anymore.

My next step is move back abroad and see where my feet take me

Same - I've just given notice on my tenancy this evening, although in my case it's moving abroad for the first time rather than going back. Where in the world are you headed?

My friend recommended the womanizer back in lockdown and let's just say....that might have been the final nail in my single-by-choice coffin. Why on earth do I need a partner - I've got all bases covered! (And no man can compete with that thing...)

I’ve heard a lot about that! Decided to get the other one as it was the cheaper option. But often wondered if the one you have is better!

Yes! I think this is a very common concept for men these days. Most men don’t want to be settling in their mid to late 30’s even into their 40’s and I think some of this is that more people don’t want kids or want to live this ‘adventure lifestyle’ and they know they have the flexibility of having kids without a biological clock like women.

If anyone is on IG check out tinder translator if you haven’t already. She explains what men are really meaning by their profiles and boy is it true!

I mean good for them if they find that but having been in my early 20s a couple of years ago, I remember that most women don't want men that much older then them

I bet he doesn’t do anything for her either. Why do they feel the need to announce it? “He doth protest too much” and all that.

For my garden gals, get yourself down to B&M. They have got great deals on. And Home Bargains sell hanging basket brackets for £1

I did a little garden project last weekend. Bought the pots from a nursery, painted them white and planted some beauties. Can’t wait till they fully blossom.

I start lawn treatment this weekend. Living the life and very peaceful.

I got a Lupin from B&M yesterday and today I got another lovely plant from Asda. I forget the name of that one though

@Chocolategoggler What's the name of the Irish lady with drill? I'd like to watch her videos.

ladies. Let me tell you I believe I've successfully established a casual/regular but temporary fwb arrangement. This is a man on pills that help him last longer, who's .. had to do this professionally in the past.. so let's say that when it comes to sex it's everything I could ever ask for on paper but he can't quite get the job done. those are rare times

They have this in South Korea -- single women communities. Financially secure mostly young women, but all ages welcome. It sounds perfect.

There is a possible business idea there I'm sure?

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Are women really settling for ‘subpar’ relationships?

Journalist Eve Simmons on why she thinks millennial women are ‘settling’ in relationships

Saw this pop up on the BBC website this morning. It’s an interesting listen.

Maybe because dreams are a safe outlet. The reality could be disappointing or worse cause hurt.
