Enjoyed reading this. Truth. I find even at my age, (I’ll be 57 on Feb. 27th) people, mostly women are still trying to convince me that I need to get a man. Why are you unattached? As though being single is some type of disease that needs to be cured. As for me I’ve been through the fire and yes I’m tired of men in the 60s who still think that they are players. Game Over. Also I’m not a half waiting on another half. I am an entire complete whole person who is NOT seeking a mate. I enjoy my own company and having the freedom to engage and develop my own pursuits. Freedom even on those rare days when I feel lonely is better than being tied down for a lifetime. Yes being single brings challenges but Living Single is enough of a reward that can never rival coupledom any day. LIVING THIS LIFE FOR ME AND NOBODY ELSE!!!

Been there and don’t care to go back. I am doing just fine without a man!
Same here. Once burned. Twice shy. As the expression goes, “I can do bad all by myself.” However as a Single Woman I do much better by myself than when I’m in a relationship. I don’t need or want the drain on my time, resources or creativity.
I feel exacly the same way, we have this thing figured out and if we don’t we can fake it until we do!
I may not have everything figured out however one major blessing of getting older is the ability to ignore other people’s opinions about how I should live my life. I might if they are lucky listen to what they have to say then go ahead and do what I planned to do in the first place!!
Yup!
Going through this crap as a 30 year old woman! My stage is also the nagging stage of life of get shunned, because I don’t have a child yet either.. Every so called ‘well meaning’ black woman,who thinks lowering standards to deadbeat men,or convicts(With the hope that you will change them-The Betty Shabazz effect!).. These people don’t even have their own lives right! Do you, and let me do me!
Amen Sister!!
