I've decided my singleness is more than likely terminal. I don't want kids, I have radical political ideas, I'm an Atheist, I deal with my flaws on my terms, and to an intellectual degree I view status and money as worthless and temporary, which I think these all act against me generally in dating. If being myself can't get me more money, or more status in society, or in a real, lasting relationship-- its not my problem, its my blessing.
The idea of being single doesn't affect me emotionally as much as it used to. I've seen a lot of manipulative and gullible people go through chains of bad relationships, some who I cared about a lot. These days admittedly, whether its more disassociation or sadism, I just want to silently see chaos run its course.
Being single or lovesick seems like quite painful loneliness. I've been in both those boats, both should be stashed with chocolate. The more that I live though, the more I view loneliness as a lie of time and distance.
