Poll: Wow, I'm a sad person, I guess.

[tobi the good boy]

i enjoy being with people and i enjoy being by myself, and i have no intentions of getting married

 

[Thaius]

I do like being alone: that's the main reason I'm a night own, it's the only time I can play a good game or watch a good movie without people interrupting me all the freaking time. But I definitely do want to get married and have a family someday: being completely alone my whole life isn't a vert appealing concept to me, despite my appreciation of "alone time."

 

[geddydisciple]

Where is the option for liking a good balance between social interaction and alone time?

 

[Eatbrainz]

Marriage? Fuck that noise!

 

[DaBozz]

Since I am in a internet relationship, no I hate being alone.
there is only so much time you can spend alone with yourself before your driven mad by how dull your life is/will be.
anyone who posted otherwise has seen way to many films/games where the loner is some awesome dude of epic power. xD

To be quite honest, everyone who voted yes are kidding only themselves.

Yeah this.

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

In my eyes, being alone sucks IF you dont have anyone to mess around with. I would hate to be single (which sadly I am) if I couldn't even get a one night stand.

 

[thom_cat_]

I said yes, because I like being alone.
But I would rather hang out with my GF and friends definitely.
being alone is good, gives me time to think, and relax in peace... although I can't stop thinking > : (

 

[Neikun]

Everyone likes to be alone at times. Everyone likes to be with someone at times. ratios differ between different people.

 

[theincurabletragedy]

I like being alone, but I also have a great appreciation for my friends. It's important to balance the two out.

This.
I do however never get sick of spending time with Michael, I'd be pretty miserable being alone if I didn't have him. And I mean, if we did get bored of hanging around, we could just play Warcraft together or sommat.

 

[Hazzaslagga]

i'm sort of half loner, I have plenty of friends and have being in a very small amount of relationships but there are many times during the week when i just feel like being alone

The poll needs more than just a yes option. Being alone is ok sometimes. Marriage isnt what its cracked up to be either but just get a girlfriend. You can have sex and enjoy a relationship without losing your manhood and half your possesions.

Um, I don't think getting married makes you any less of a man. If anything, it makes you more of a man.

And well it's just the way you are. It's not sad, it's you. I prefer to have some time to myself. I mean, who doesn't? I find that people who like being constantly surrounded by other people, are kinda annoying.

And maybe you just haven't found the right person to help you believe that a life with a companion could be an exciting and fun one.

Check out the results of this poll, then have a look at the average age poll.....
Of course no-one wants to get married, the respondents are all 12!!
I've been married for years, it's great, and when you're all growed-up and have a little more emotional maturity, and a little less 'emo', this whole romantic 'I'm a lone wolf, I don't need anyone' thing will subside.

 

[fenrizz]

I hate being alone, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy my personal time.

 

[Snor]

i like being alone but also need some basic human interaction. that said if the right one shows up i wont say no

 

[KiruTheMant]

Me?I enjoy being alone while in real life but having someone to talk to other than myself,thus why I enjoy being alive in this day and age.

 

[Jfswift]

I prefer to be alone. I feel trapped when i'm with or around other people usually. I'm more relaxed when i'm just by myself most of the time. I'm not saying i'm opposed to marriage, but it'd have to be someone very accepting and understanding of me.

 

[Anthropaphagi]

Far too many people choose marriage/relationships as an option simply because they fear being alone or don't think they can do better. That may sound harsh but it's true. I know friends/acquaintences/etc. who have "settled" for a partner, not because they love the person, but because they simply don't want to be alone or don't think anyone else would have them, which is rather sad. (Hence why people stay in abusive relationships, but I digress as that is a bit of an oversimplification and OT)

There is nothing wrong with wanting a relationships/marriage, but for the right reasons. Not because 'something is better than nothing'. To have a healthy marriage or relationship, you have to really want to be with the person, be there for them, and be willing to put their needs/wants ahead of your own (and vice versa, of course)and that requires a bit of insight and maturity. I think it's really easy to say we want this or that, but not examine the motives of why. And sometimes the motives aren't healthy, realistic or reasonable.

Think of people you know who are in unhappy relationships, for example. I know a few people who's justifications are, 'well we've been together x years, and it seems a pity to throw it away'. Throw what away? You're both miserable, and are wasting time together when you could be with someone that you enjoy being with. Then they do something really dumb, like get married, and then divorce when the realization finally dawns on them that the marriage was there to fix the relationship that no longer worked. Well done, waste a ton of time and energy beating a dead horse.

So, it's down to motives. If your motives are pure, regardless of what you choose, and if you're willing to put in the hard work of a relationship or marriage, good on you. If its because your miserable, and well so the person your with is miserable but at least your not alone. Move on. Unless you want to prove how well misery loves company.
