>>1055915>before the crushing loneliness and regret gets to youThis is a meme, a terrible one at that. I'm a nurse and every once in a while I get some old guy or gal that stayed single and they're the most interesting, well traveled and experienced people I've ever met. I have an 80-something guy right now that used to be a sailor in his younger days and he's tattoed all over. He told me that he definitely got lonely sometimes, but it's 90% happy and 10% lonely. Take this in contrast to a lot of people in a relationship with children who are 50% drama and 50% happy. Of course if you find your unicorn by all means go and get yourse booboo but for me personally it just isn't worth the hassle. I like to be able to leave to do anything I want at any second, for me there's no greater freedom.
