Felt this about a year into being single and booked myself in for a massage. I now try and get one every 8 weeks or so and enjoy getting my hair washed at the salon when I go!

I have come across couples that have a wonderful partnership - not many I should add - and that's absolutely lovely to see. I think that's so rare and most people settle for situations that are really quite detrimental to their wellbeing. I'm not one of those people that has impossible standards or is down on men I just don't see what a woman who can earn her own living gets out of living with most men. Even 'nice guys' tend to expect more cooking, cleaning and house management to be done by women. It's easy to say 'don't do it' but you don't really know what he's like in that sense until you get pretty far involved and I'm not willing to do the work to change him.
Been single 9 year's now I don't need a man I want a man that's the difference am an independent woman and will never just settle for anyone to say I have someone as I know alot of people who do and our extremely unhappy
God I really don't. I'm not sure where it would sleep. What do you feed them? Do they need grooming? Can you house them somewhere when you go on holiday?

I can’t remember if I said it on here before but so many people I know, their partners are totally incompetent. Can’t do things around the house, can’t follow instructions, need help doing absolute basics. Then also a number of them just up and leaving because they’ve decided they don’t want whatever happy home they’ve left. Honestly who can be bothered with it all? Much better off on your own without having to deal with someone else taking up brain space!
I’ve said to before on here, but I’m not opposed to meeting someone (organically). I’m not dating or looking, but if it happened by chance I wouldn’t dismiss it out of hand. BUT I do not see myself ever living or sharing space with someone in a typical way. They’d need to have and keep their own house and me mine. Chances of that = slim!
Well they pretend to be incompetent to get out of doing things. Suddenly competence returns when they’re in work or organising their hobbies.
I see red flags with every man I interact with apart from my family and two close friends husbands.
This alone shows me I am not ready. If I never am then so be it.

Yeah absolutely! Always totally selfish!
I notice how the men act trying to get onto trains/getting a seat & that’s all I need to remember - no thanks!
Would anybody consider this a red flag a guy constantly texting asking to meet up every single day when u have already explained the situation u have kids and can only arrange to meet when u are child free then they reply back what u doing now would love to meet u Even for a minute after u explained the situation
Absolutely! Makes me feel claustrophobic just reading this.
Yes. He already isn't respecting boundaries you have clearly set out.
Eurgh
100%, he's after some sex. That's no shade on you, he sounds like a typical hole.
Definitely. Either he's not capable to comprehend a written text, he doesn't care about and doesn't respect your boundaries or he's just trying to pressure you into meeting him, lovebomb you to get some sex...basically what has been already said. I'm sorry, it's always such an disappointment to discover just another idiot
Tbh I think you’d be better off sharing that on the dating thread. 
But am a single woman by choice for 9 years now and it's only recently I started talking to a guy am still fully single so don't understand why it can't be posted on this as a discussionTbh I think you’d be better off sharing that on the dating thread.
Yea having a guy over when my kids are at home is a big no for me kids do not need to be involved with a parents dating life, only time my kids would ever meet someone is if it was going to be turn into along relationship
You absolutely can post here, but I’m not sure how useful it will be. The dating thread is very active and they’ve seen every trick in the book!
Didn't see the dating thread on this will have a look for it
