>>20507964I am single. I dated a few times after getting divorced. Lived with my last girlfriend for 3 years before I left. At this point, I prefer to remain single because there just isn't much of an upside to a romantic partnership, for me. I don't hate women, though. I don't have any problem with women at all. No part of me begrudges the single moms trying to find a bread-winner, nor the 30-somethings trying to make a last go of things. I find the 20-somethings mildly annoying, but I don't blame that on women--male 20-somethings annoy me just as much. They're vapid and not generally worth my time but that's just because they're in their second childhood, still. It's not really their fault and I have no hard feelings towards them about it. I just spend my time in other ways.
If you're happy being alone? You aren't bitter. You can't be bitter about it unless you're unhappy with it. The one pre-supposes the other. Let go of your bitterness. The truth is that other people are just trying to get through their own lives with some modicum of comfort and joy. Let them be, anon. Learn to be happy with yourself and you won't have any reason to be angry or bitter at other people for doing the same.
