So, who else here is a loner?

I'm just like that, Psych. I'd suggest that all us loners should go out for a beer sometime, but then I remembered we don't like that.
 
I'm that way I got just having fun with out any one else to look after.
There's too to much to going on with the world to today not to have fun on my own and having responsibility's of looking after a family.
 
Yeah, I'm a bit of a loner. What's interesting to me is that as a loner I find it easier to live a solitary life in a dense urban environment. It's so much easier to be anonymous in a big city. I'm solo 80% of the time--I do go out with friends and my girlfriend, and I sometimes hang out in this bar down the block from my apartment, but mostly I am not a social person. I generally tend to be happier alone.
 
I'm a loner and agree with all that's been said above.
The one thing that I dislike is how some people refuse to respect, understand or even accept the fact that 'you' are a loner, they're constantly giving you shit over being a loner.
I hate to be bothered on my down time, unless it's a chick wanting sex - lol
 
I am a loner.

unless I go riding with some friends, or go to the bar. some days its good to be a loner though, being asked for help with all my shittier friend fucking projects gets old.

Is somewhere outhere.
I enjoy having my own space from time to time.So I think when you
do get company you appreciate it more.So it's good just too mix it
up a bit.

But I couldn't be bothered being pro-social all time,that just isn't me :)

I think it's more to do with your personallity,if your outgoing then
you'll always have friends because it attracts them.But if you have
a quiet or shy nature perhaps,then your more likely just to have a few friends.
I would say i'm the latter of the two.I'm a shy nature myself and
when you meet people for the first time it can be off-putting for them.I
guess it's like the first impressions theory.But that's just me :)
 
I`m exactly the same.I just can`t be bothered to go out anymore.So long as you are happy doing what you want to do,that is all that matters.

I´m extremely anti-social. I can´t talk to people about things that don´t interest me. I´m not shy (even if most people that meet me probably think so), i just can´t pretend to be interested in talking about the weather or some other topic that i have no real interest in.
 
Actually I am and have been both a loner and a guy with a pretty cool social life. Phases. I am many times surrounded by humans yet feel very alone.

That describes me pretty well too, Mr. P.

I know a lot of people who can't stand to be alone, and I always feel kind of sorry for them. I've seen that need for companionship compel many people to make poor relationship choices. I appreciate time to myself; being able to pretty much do what I want when I want.

A friend of mine is totally the same as you. Enjoyed his own space and was fiercely protective of it.
He has recently turned 50 and now says that he regrets not having a long term relationship and definitely regrets not having kids.
All of a sudden he realises that its too late and he can't get the younger good looking ladys and all thats left are middleaged divorcees or women who have always been single (there is usually a reason for that). As for the going out socializing, well i'm with you. the novalty for that wore off a long time ago. Why not just socialize at home. Its a lot cheaper.

I'm half and half, and it's annoying. I'm half dependent on a select group of people for my social desires... they're funny, they rarely ask much of me. It's a comfortable symbiosis. You vent at me, I vent at you. You crack me up, I'll give you a chuckle too. etc, etc.

On the other hand, I really hate people. A bunch of idiotic scumbags who seem to be able to barely run their own lives, never take their own advice/creedo.. and yet they have, and take for granted the things that dont come easily to myself.

I'd LOOOOVE to have a girl. I just dont want so many of the bullshit that goes along with it. Trust issues, meeting her friends, winning over her parents, pooling the money and hope she doesnt blow 100$ a month on cosmetics that I dont even like on her. (Beauty is in the eye of the mirror holder, eh?)

I like it when they cook. I like ..ahem, LOVE sex. I could romp around all day, slide in her every chance I get. I dont even have to cum, I just like being in there. It's like a wet, warm blanket. A security blanket of fleshy goodness! MMM! Like throwing a comforter over ya after it's been thru the dryer. But smaller.. and in a circle.. and pink. Oh, and it's attached to somebody. BLEH! Somebody with needs and opinions.

And.. on one hand yeah it's selfish that I dont want that. The conservatives and minorities are outbreeding people like us. I know one day I'll be too old and regret it. But that regret will be primal.. involuntary. It'll come from my body, not from my heart and mind. My heart tells me to skip the heartache and mail order a russian chick or a thai girl. Someone without all that 'American' bullshit in their head. My mind tells me.. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT A KID?! You hated your own childhood, you dont even have a family to base your experiences on with a kid or wife, how and why would you subject people to the same bullshit you had?!"

Honestly, it's all very contradictory. The intelligent thing to do is just sit here and contribute in other ways. Be a good worker instead of a flakey family guy. (SORRY BOSS! MY KID NEEDS HELP! BE BACK IN 40 MIN'S!)

So, eh.. here I sit. I'm not astoundingly happy, but I'm never disapointed. ;)

Heh, yeah. If I let myself fall into 'social disrepair' I find it hard to even go out the front door sometimes. On the advice of one of my friends, I went to bartending school. Today (monday) is actually my last day. I'm chatty, I'm intelligent, I put a certain perfection into everything I (try to) do. She said I would be excellent at it. I agreed because it'll put me into the position to pick and choose potential mates in an atmosphere I dont like being in, or dont have enough cash to be successful in. "Can I buy you a drink? or four?" *CHA CHING* I'm out of 30 bucks and there's no guarantee I'll be getting laid, repaid, or emotional aid.

But the bartender keeps a level head, surveys the scene.. makes his money and can cut a corner or two for a pretty lady. It sounded perfect. Get paid to talk to people and serve a product I believe in. Yeah. So I'll have that going for me.

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I always thought it was weird...

I've never been the type of person to "want" to go out and hang around a ton of other people (mostly because other people annoy the shit out of me), so I've spent most of my time sitting around in my apartment all by myself. But, when I do go out, I'm the most socialable, people-friendly mother fucker on the planet. Hooooooooow? :dunno:

When I spend time with others in the seeking of enjoyment, I don't want to be with complicated prople ! It's too much like work . . .Get It ?

Maybe that's why dating sucks so bad. You have to put on your best clothes, fake your best conduct . . .

Good thing I'm not far from Nevada ! I can go drink like a fish, get in on the craps tables, screw my brains out in Carson City.
 
I'm a loner. I have a small group of close friends, but I prefer to stay in play some games,watch a few movies. Sometimes go to there places and do the exact same thing. I don't the point of spending a lot of money to go to a crowded club/bar and pay for over-priced drinks and crappy entertainment. But the amount times family and others have had a go about my choice to stay in, you do get pissed off with them.:mad:

I think the biggest problem I have is most people just annoy the living hell out of me. Five minutes with some people and I want to kill them.

Almost everyone is like that. Makes no sense to me. Why pretend to be someone you are not? It's exhausting and if things work out she's gonna see the real you eventually. I am completely myself right away. If they don't want what I have, I wanna find out quick. And most of the time the dates end relatively quickly, though pleasantly; politeness is never a bad thing. But the ones that don't usually end VERY well (in one form or another). I believe there is a surprisingly large portion of the female population that LONGS for absolute honesty (blended with tact/compassion).

My point is that I think most people make dating out to be far more stressful then it needs to be.


sorry to go off topic

I agree. It's a perception thing . . I guess :dunno:
Sometimes you gotta play (lie) to play (screw your brains out).

Back on topic -

I just want to be the guy with the car keys ! :tongue:
There have been times when I just want to ditch the crowds and do my own thing. Crowds get old fast with me.

Personally, I think for most people it's a lack-of-confidence thing.
I used to be like that. Then I realized that life is too short.


But back to topic; overall, upon reflection, I guess I am a loner.

I really like this thread idea, btw.

I'm a lot like that. I think it stems from a combination of social skills conditioning and being naturally gregarious (in limited doses).
 
I guess I'm sort of a loner now. Although that wasn't always the case.

When I was a teenager I was most definately not a loner. I had more friends than I could handle. Then high school ended and people went their seperate ways. I've kept in touch with most of my close friends but as years pass things change. I'm just entering that stage in life where all my friends are finishing college, getting married, having kids and moving away.

At this point in my life I don't rank my social life very high on my list of priorities. I just want to finish grad school and start earning some real money. Once I have that under control then I will worry about my social life.
 
I've never been into the bar or club scene and in general don't go out too much. I have a girlfriend and 3 kids so I cannot call myself a true loner, but I prefer home life with the family to hanging out with friends.
