17 single seniors share myths of being single

9.

“A lot of people assume that being single and older means we’re somehow difficult and/or undesirable. But we’re not. And since we’ve been alone for so long, we can see more…of those who aren’t worth our time sometimes.” , we simply aren’t meeting the person I enjoy and I want a man who is comfortable in his own skin too; Enough to maintain order in this life, I will remain single before I get married with a man who constantly needs my help.

“I have two children, but I am not married. If I had gotten married, it would have been miserable, and I certainly would have dodged a bullet. I have met a couple of men who have discussed marriage, yet they barely make it on a daily basis and they have already shown me that it is difficult for them to stay in one place for very long. So, I enjoy peace and getting together with my friends (some of whom are single and some of whom are married more than once) to hang out and have fun. Then, I return home or travel back and forth to my hometown to visit my family, friends, and familiar stomping grounds. All this while you smile and feel great. “I’d still like to meet a cool guy to do things with on a regular basis…we’ll see.”
