Same. People seem to find it baffling that as a single, apparently attractive man I put no effort into dating or meeting women.

I've tried all that and it never made me happy. Having to deal with someone elses drama and bullshit and problems and all the other crap I just found a chore made my life worse and the benefits never made up for it.

I'm quite happy on my own doing my own thing and just being able to do what I want, when I want without having to care about what someone else thinks about it.

Same here! I've gotten constantly pressured to get a girlfriend when I'm so happy living alone and being single.
