i prefer to be a happy contented old maid rather than end up with someone irresponsible.

i don't agree with the idea nga it's happy to be single after 30's, nga you don't really need someone of opposite s3x (or of same if you happen to be homo) to complete yourself. that's just...hypocritical, imo. loneliness will start to creep in at some point; insecurities will start to loom over.

we will surely long for someone deep inside, someone who'd stay beside us...that genuine bond beyond that of family and friends...


i think they didn't really intend to end up like that...maybe out of fear to be hurt and the likes pushed them onto that track.

loneliness happens to everyone married or not.

why u choose to be single, i want an honest answer, being alone is not realy nice, like living with a dog or a cat

because being single for life is okay.

if you want specifics:
1. there's no need to be possessive of someone's love
2. no baby to take care of (crying at night, babysitting 24 hours, spending for food, education, etc.)
3. freedom

Our society dictates that it's more acceptable to be with someone than be alone. Society needs for us to have friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wives, etc. To us, being alone entails being lonely. This may be the case to some people, but I don't think we can say the same for others. I've seen people who are happy living single, and I've seen married people who are living life in hell. The bottom line is---do whatever makes you happy. Don't let society pressure you.

Nice one Sol

^^ I'm 33 years old and single.
I want to have kids but I don't want to hav a BF nor get married.
Personally kids are more fulfilling to be with rather than getting stuck with someone who cheats and lies. I thought I would die after my BF bailed out on me but when I learned to channel my frustrations and heartaches to something worthwhile, I realized being single at such an old age isn't that bad after all. I believe it lies on the outlook of the person where he/she base his/her happiness from.

So happiness isn't measured solely on the relationship status but the mere fact that you made others happy is one big feat to begin with

Im 27 and dont have a bf for 3 years.. so, I thought God must have STOP all the boys to come to me so I could prepare Myself emotionally and financially when the right one comes...

So im happy and busy preparing my life when I get 30.. [my own house and lot,car and business]
If di jud maabot ang para akoa, then plan is to adopt 3 kids and consider them as my own.....

Nindot lagi ang kanang gikan jud sa imoha dba, pero if wala jud diay maabot, edi wala.
then give my LOVE to my kids who needed it the most...

I beg to disagree. You only say this because you've been brought up in a society where being a "couple" is the norm, or perhaps you grew up in a loving, happy family (your parents may still be together). But sir, happiness is subjective, meaning what's "happiness" to one person may not be "happiness" to the other. Believe it or not, there are some people who can be genuinely happy just by being alone, isolated from the pressures of the world and complications of relationships. They would rather be by themselves---they find that they grow intellectually, emotionally (and sometimes spiritually) by things they do alone.
