List five things you LIKE about your love life

Post Reply New Topic

Actually I don't, that list was as much a brainstorming session in sour grapes rationalizing for myself as anything. But I might as well like it, because being an aspie my age living in podunk, it isn't likely to change any time soon.

I'd love to date an aspie girl, but that skewed male to female ratio doesn't leave a lot of room for hope.

• I last bathed a week and a half ago.
• I don't mind if I piss on the floor.
• I eat like some kind of voracious machine that eats like a pig.
• I shun all humanoid contact.
• I rashly speculate aloud about the probability of intelligent extraterrestrial life, the Build-a-Burger Society, and various and sundry assassination attempt conspiracy theories; and I like to rail against "those clowns."

I am glad I could submit a few more to the list of great qualities that make you wonder why you're still single.

I can list what I love about being single in ONE item.

I like my love life because:
• I won't be sad when it's over.

One reason I like to be single.

* When I have sex, it's with someone I love.

(Apologies to Woody Allen. )

Mr-Minesweeper,

Sick burn.

Five Things I Like About my Love Life:

1. I'm finally over my ex-boyfriend, and I'm realizing what an idiot he was.
2. I've learned from my mistakes in past relationships--mainly, not to commit myself to someone too quickly, and to take time to get to know him better.
3. I no longer feel second-best to a rusty old Ford Mustang (my ex was a mechanic).
4. I dyed my hair pink a few weeks ago. I wanted to do it for months, but my ex would never let me.


5. There's this cute hippie kid I've been talking to lately, and he told me the other day that he thinks I'm "cute".

Five reasons I like being single:

1) I can spend my money on trivial things like comics, video games and action figures, and not be criticised endlessly for it.
2) I get to have peace & quiet whenever I like.
3) The only arguments I ever have are with myself.
4) My holiday destination is a decision for me, and me alone.
5) I don't have to be dragged out to wretched social gatherings unless I want to go.

Well there have been some pretty good responses to this one, and I reckon most of it is covered, so I thought I'd still do my lists:

10 Great Things About Being Single
01 - I get all the bedclothes and bed space.
... but it would be nice to cuddle up to someone at the end of a hard day.
02 - I can sit and play games or sit on the internet for hours on end
... though I'd much rather play games with a partner who at least understands my interests.
03 - I can wear the same clothes for several days at a time.
... doubtless a contributing factor to my singledom.
04 - I only have to please myself and don't have anyone relying on me.
... though having a partner might get me out of the rut I currently inhabit, push me a bit.
05 - I can check woemn out in the street, flirt, or pass compliments to women without fear.
... if I had a decent girlfriend I wouldn't really need to do all this anyway, though I hope she wasn't the paranoid type.
06 - My money is mine and I can buy CDs, games or whatever whenever I feel.
.... though I would love to spoil a woman, I do miss that being single.
07 - I don't have to do my duty and attend functions, events, or do stuff with a partner I may not be keen on.
... yes, I'd rather be a dirty stop-in with no life and no direction, right.
08 - If things go wrong, I am only letting myself down.
... not exactly good practice for the future, better to have pride in yourself and maybe women would take me seriously.
09 - I don't have to bother with stuff like resteraunts, holidays, days out etc.
... though I pine for times when I can share moments with a woman, more to life that way.
10 - I can leave the toilet seat up.
... okay they'll just have to learn to live with that one.

Generally I hate being single, yet there's nothing I can really do at the moment. However we try and convince ourselves that singledom is great! I wish it was.

No messy breakup, no animosity, no having to worry whether you're spending too much or not enough time with them, it's hard not to agree with you there.

What do I like about my Love Life right now?


Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing,
and......NOTHING!

My aspie husband can be the most irrational human being I have ever met. He has the ability to make my most irrational moments seem like moments of mind-shattering lucidity. It's not a strictly female characteristic.

But to the original question, I like that I identify with guys more. It makes everything easier. I tend to be simple in what I want of any relationship, I don't like all the complex signals and unspoken rules, and in my current situation I don't need to worry about that very much. Say what you mean, mean what you say. And since we're both the sensory-sensitive type, we find things to do that we both can enjoy (and tolerate).

Five things I like about not being married or in a relationship:

1. I enjoy my routines (going to work, reading, internet, etc.) and would have a hard time accommodating someone else's at my late age.

2. I need to concentrate on getting a full time job.

3. I have my cats for company.

4. I don't have very many expenses, so I'm able to save my money.

5. At my age, the risks that a child of mine could be born with difficulties increases every year.

hmmm

a continuous "high"
less inclined to doubt things, be anxious, worry
have something to wonder about
smile when remembering some cute moments
check my phone often

I'm single, and while my life isn't perfect, it has it advantages.

1. I don't need to spend my money on things such as romantic dinners, jewelry, boxes of chocolates (unless I like the taste), expensive gifts, etc. More often than not, their return on investment is mediocre at best. As a corollary, Valentine's Day is an excuse to pig out on free candy given out at my work.

2. I can get sex anytime I want. ("But you're single; how would you do that?") I can get sex from escorts. They're available most days of the week, on 24-hour notice. They're always nice and sweet to me, they're always in the mood, and they never "have a headache". All I need to bring is the money to pay her. And every time, I walk out of their hotel room smiling.

3. I don't need to waste precious hours of my day talking about feelings. I also don't need to listen to anyone drone on and on about shoes, melodrama, and gossip.

4. My apartment can be as messy as I like it to be, without getting in trouble with the rental office. I can have pizza boxes on the floor, empty beer cans on the coffee table, an escort site open on my computer, and no one will rag me about it.

5. I can get drunk whenever I want, with no one to get on my case over it.

1). I'm not stuck with someone I settled with, feeling discontented, and looking around for something better.

2). I've had enough down time where I know who I am I think a lot better than if I'd been in serial relationships.

3). I feel more compelled to push myself and improve my own life.

4). I don't have anyone trying to sabotage self-improvement out of paranoia.

5). I get all the time with my friends I could want and almost as much alone time as I'd want to recharge after a long day (or night).


And yes, I'd take change if it came, but I do realize - from everyone around me - the grass tends to be greener no matter where your at. On that note I think the smartest thing you can do is make the most of what you do have.
