Anything wrong with being a loner?

I am like that for the most part as well, except I am married. I was always like that when my wife and I were just dating in college. I could entertain myself for the most part for days. I remember a lot of weekends in college where I would watch movies, study, and really just be by myself and enjoy it.

When the wife leaves on business or leaves me home alone, I have a ton of things I enjoy doing. I never really lost that loner mentality.

i dont think theres anything wrong with it. I myself and am kinda like this. i have a few friends, but i really like to be alone a lot.

although i do want a woman in my life, and unfortunately women arent attracted to loners like me. 🙁

Shallow women who aren't worth your time aren't interested. That's the truth.

maybe not, but what if all women are shallow, then whats a man supposed to do? lol.

has anyone here ever dated a woman that didnt mind dating a loner? A loner who wasnt super duper attractive or had bucketloads of money.

I'm a happily married loner 😛

My wife is pretty social and enjoys the female 'knitting circle' crap that I have no tolerance for. I stay up late and get my 'alone' time and do the social thing as often as I can stomach for her sake.

I'm a loner, but I understand that not everyone is and my wife loves me IN SPITE of the fact. Therefore it's my obligation to be considerate of her desires and needs and make THE EFFORT to be social when and where I can.. though honestly I see very little benefit in it... Interestingly I will attend ANY social event if my children are even vaguely involved, because I love my kids and I don't want them to be loners. I think social people have more joy.

My situation exactly! My wife can talk to anyone, anytime like she's known them for years. I'd rather have my fingernails ripped off than have to make small talk with people I don't know. She's got lots of friends and they go out a few times a month while I stay home w/the kids. She understands and respects my personality, and I feel the same about hers. We've been married 17 years and are as happy as any 2 different people can be.

Same as you, I'll do anything for my kids. Although the Girl Scout Father-Daughter square dance got replaced by a father-daughter trip to the movies instead. I can only go so far!!

My wife didn't mind, although I must disclose that I am in fact super duper attractive.😛

I'm like that too, but people keep forcing themselves upon me. I always get calls from people that need something, yet I never call them. I always get invites to go places, yet I never invite people. Etc...

I like being alone because I set the rules 😉 I had to change a lot after getting married, but my wife still respects the fact that I like my solitude from time to time.

Zorro: if you really didn't care about being a loner, you probably won't be posting this thread.

It's fine as long as you don't start becoming a psycho and systematically kill people.
