Living Alone

[JollyMisanthropeParticipant 3356]

Wouldn’t have it any other way. Nothing better than having your own space completely free of the presence of other people, at least for the majority of the time. I can sit on my lazy boy in my boxers, scratching my b~~~~ and blasting whatever music I want and don’t have to spend a second on wondering if I’m being a good host.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

Is living alone great? Does a bear s~~~ in the woods? Dude I can spend all day listing reasons why living alone is the best ever but here’s my 10 :

(no particular order)

1. You have the entire bed to yourself. No more cover fighting or pulling her hair out of your mouth!

2. Peace. No nagging. No boring conversations. No nothing.

3. You get to keep all your stuff. No negotiating what has to go and what can stay.

4. Save money on everything. Food, bills you name it!

5. Watch whatever you want on TV. I know I’ll never have to sit through another Gilmore Girls again!

6. Eat whatever you feel like. No more vegetarian bitches giving s~~~ about eating meat etc..

7. Watch all the porn you want anytime, anywhere.

8.  More time for your hobbies. Got that guitar? Dust it off and rock out!

9. Hang out in your boxers. (or nothing if that is your sort of thing)

10.  Never have to tell anyone when you’re leaving / coming home.

And if you think being lonely still sucks, get a cat or a dog! They will be your true friend till the end

Good luck!

I LOVE living alone. I could list reasons why, but mostly I’d just be repeating what you guys have already said. The only thing I have to add is:

Nobody stands between me and the tv to talk about their feelings when Game of f~~~ing Thrones is on.

That itself makes it all worthwhile.

I LOVE living alone.  I can walk around near-naked (or naked if I wanted to, haha) and watch Netflix, play video games/movies/music as loud as I want to, watch/listen to whatever I want, cook whatever I’d like to WHENever I’d like to (and I don’t have to worry about sharing a meal with someone, it’s ALL mine), and as I’ve stated before on one of my posts, I can make my place look like whatever I want without having to worry about any nagging about how “tacky” or “geeky” my place looks to someone else.

Ha… I live alone but I certainly don’t have silence whenever *I* want it.  I have it whenever my c~~~ neighbours let me have it.  Which isn’t something I have much control over.  The joys of apartment living.

What?  You don’t enjoy hearing your next-door neighbours yell at each other at the tops of their lungs like fishwives at 2 AM?  Your neighbours above you having sex at all hours of the day?

 

I’ve had that and more over the years I’ve lived in my current apartment.  But, I’m the one who’d get into trouble if my father should come visit me with his dog….

Funnily enough my immediate neighbours are women and they have the entitled attitude you might expect… basically, they can do whatever they want, but woe betide if they hear a peep out of me at any time because that’s not allowed.

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

Thank the Lord my apartment has rather thick walls.  They’re cheap, but my neighbor that used to live next to me could have parties and I’d never hear a thing.  As for my neighbor downstairs from me, I have no idea how I sound to her.  I rarely ever see her come out of her place, and haven’t had a complaint yet in the 11 months I’ve been there.  Apartments are very risky.  You either get cool neighbors or you get the kind that need absolute silence. :/

[33wolfmanParticipant 216]

I have two dogs, so a apartment would not do. Yeah, they can be a hassle at times but it’s great to come home and be greeted by unconditional loyalty and affection, not to mention their antics make me smile and laugh at times. So, if your lonely and miss companionship get a pet, they FAR cheaper and better than woman. Not to mention they can be used to attract the the puss when you need to unload some tension 😉

@ Megachris% You’re not going to whack your neighbors, are you? I know a guy…….

I’ve noticed in several films that there’s a scene which contrasts two men, one who has a family and one who is single, going home; one to a picket-fence house where the mom wipes her hands on her apron and the kids kiss him, and the other to a lonely bare apartment. Something like this happens in ‘Planes Trains and Automobiles’ and ‘The Bucket List’.

I can’t recall a film where the opposite happens; a man goes home to a nagging wife and annoying children, and another goes home alone to perfect peace, tranquility and harmony. But in my experience this version is just as realistic, if not more so, than the more usual Hollywood scene.

One thing I liked about The Sopranos was how it portrayed family situations.  I remember one episode when Tony comes home, walks into an argument his wife is having with one of his kids, and he asks if he could come into a peaceful house once in a while.

Here’s the example of this minute. My chess set (one of them) is on top of the microwave. My dog (the only one) is sleeping on my bed (gawd! here’s hoping she is sleeping!). No one is coming up behind me telling me to do things, like kick the dog out of the house and clean up the kitchen.

The only sounds I hear are those of nature and whatever music I (nobody else) have playing.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[hmskl’dParticipant 6413]

I like to cook and even manage to find days to clean the house. With the work-a-day world – I really don’t have lots of time to dwell on being single, never married but heterosexual and living alone. As a MGHOW for years; I’ve crossed paths with a couple ladies (not many) who could have become potential mates but just never pursued it – mainly because of being busy with my life and likely having a very deep seated fear of relationships and what that can bring. I guess I’ve become somewhat of a perfectionist in my life and the thought of a significant-other no longer fits into my plans. Sure, I must admit that there are evenings when it would be nice to have someone jointly cook a meal or maybe just go out to a nice quiet restaurant with a female friend and talk.  Then, reality thinking kicks in and I just don’t see it happening. I don’t want to start down that path. From my own life experiences I believe it’s probably for the best.

Great responses guys.  Finally after a long week of work, I can sit down and respond.

I am currently looking at apartments.  I’m weighing the options.  Currently, my financial status might allow me to buy a condo, but I’m worried I won’t have enough money to put down, including having to buy furniture, and everything else.  At least with apartments, it’s cheaper to move in, and if I get bored with the location, I’ll just move somewhere else.

Things I’m looking forward to:

Peace and quiet, sleeping as late as I want, bed to myself, no nagging bitch telling me what to do, nobody to tell my whereabouts, nobody to tell me I’m spending too much money on this or that, nobody to answer to, and most of all, to pursue my music without distractions.  I am a musician; guitar player.  I write my own music, rock/jazz/blues/metal.  It’s hard to practice and compose when your girlfriend is saying “we have plans this Sat, we have to be here and there, and so and so’s birthday party, so and so’s wedding, let’s go to my parents house, let’s go to the beach, my aunt is having a bbq, let’s go out to dinner, let’s go, let’s go, let’s do this, let’s do that.  F~~~ that s~~~, I’ll go where I want to, when I want to, without having to deal with an argument that leads to disconnection and sex being taken away.

Not looking foward to:

Neighbors telling you to lower the volume of your music, having to hear couples arguing through the walls, not having a driveway.   Eh, it beats dealing with a nagging bitch!

I live alone and I love it mainly because of all the reasons that others have listed, and as others have already said I don’t have to be alone all the time I can have visors whenever I want for as long as I want and I often do. Growing old alone is not worse in my opinion than growing old with someone else old age anit for pussies and I think a life well lived to look back on would be better than a boring “wife” to commiserate over wasted youth with. As for dying alone in this I quote house md “everybody dies alone” . The only downside I find to living alone is that it turns you into a little bit of a manic because everything has to be a certain way. Whenever anyone has been in my space and moved stuff around I dutifully return things to where there were even if it makes no difference. for example I keep my patoato peeler in my second kitchen drawer, someone moves it somewhere else . I find it lose my s~~~ and put it back even if its only been moved to another drawer above or below.

Like on the movie, “The Family Man.” Nicholas Cage is a NYC billionaire suddenly thrust into about 2 months of an alternate reality where he is married, living in a Jersey suburb, his Ferrari from his other life is replaced by a minivan, his billionaire job is now a tire salesman position, and his thoughts of wanting to buy a $2,000 suit is thought of by his wife as SELFISH because “that money is supposed to be for our kids’ college fund.” Yep, watch THAT movie and I guarantee, all thoughts of loneliness will go down the f~~~ing toilet.

Hey mgtow_85, I watched that movie the other night.  Very good movie indeed.  I totally can relate to what you’re saying, however, at the end after seeing both lives, he did choose his wife over his single rich life.  He went looking for her at the end and told her he would rather be with her than anything else.  Sort of a controversy there huh?  What do you think?

Anyone heard a wahhman utter, “This’s what I’d like to ‘do’, what would you like to do?  Let’s look at the options and figure out what ‘we’ will do.”

[Jim01Participant 6678]

last night I ate cold pizza left over from the weekend for dinner, had a nice wank in my living room and then spent 4 hours on the Witcher 3 before going to bed.

If I lived with someone all three of these activities would be questioned eg “cold pizza is gross”, “ewwwwww wanking on the sofa to porn – don’t you love me?”, “I don’t want to watch you play xbox for 4 hours as I want to watch soaps so you can watch them with me even though you hate them”

f~~~ that s~~~ – live my life for me
