But the main reason I am single is I refuse to play the social game. I stay home and play music and use the computer every night. I have no interest whatsoever in 'going out'. I don't care anymore.
Well that explains a lot. You won't catch any fish if you don't go fishing. Just don't complain that you wish you had fish.
You've been married before, so you know that marriage isn't always pleasant. Half of my family (8 siblings) are divorced, and the other half wish they could afford it. :)
Obviously I joke, but there is some truth in my jokes. While I am still married after 23 years, there was a long time, maybe 15 years, where I was only married due to the 'cheaper to keep 'er' mentality. Of course I wanted to live with my children too, so I bit the bullet. Now, 3 years since she had her hysterectomy, she is a normal human being again. Marriage isn't so tough now. If I knew the results would be, I'd have made her have the operation years sooner.
I do realize that 'happily married' is just another oxymoron, like 'army intelligence' and 'jumbo shrimp'. :)
Seriously, I do have three sons, and I do worry that they are getting too serious to young. I do tell them to 'play the field' and 'have some fun'. Don't get too serious too young, that's where most of the mistakes get made. They don't listen though, oh well, at least some day I can tell them 'I told you so'.
I just have to ask, if a woman truely interest you, have you tried the internet sites for women instead of audio equipment?
FWIW, sadly now I have Stereophile replacing Playboys in the bathroom as well. That just means I'm old, like my kids keep telling me. :(
