Living alone can be a symbol of freedom for many, but no one truly wants to experience it. Being single isn't easy and often comes with its challenges, but it also has its perks—provided it's not a sentence, a punishment, but rather a conscious choice. Every person who is single knows what they need to be happy and can quickly find ways to feel better.
And while finding a life partner is often a big dream, unfortunately, it’s not as easy at a certain age. An example supporting this idea is the story of our reader, who openly admits that today’s men are withdrawn and don’t know what they want out of life.
"I chat with men on dating sites, but I feel like no one there is looking for something long-term, just something short-lived for fun"
"I’m a single woman in my thirties, and I’m not even sure why I’m writing this letter. I think I just want to say that life hasn’t been kind to me, and every day feels monotonous. I don’t know what to do to meet someone who will be with me for better or worse. For several years, I’ve been following social media and chatting with men on dating sites, but I feel like no one there is looking for something long-term, just something short-lived for fun. Today’s men are withdrawn and don’t know what they want out of life.
Recently, my coworkers and I went to a club. I wanted to meet someone, and they were really cheering me on. I got all dressed up, and finally, a guy approached me, and we danced for a good hour. We started talking. When I told him what I do for a living, he mocked my profession and asked in a sneering voice if I was joking. I replied that I wasn’t and didn’t see anything wrong with being what he called an 'aggressive ticket inspector.' I felt embarrassed, but I thought to myself that I work honestly and didn’t deserve such words, so I walked away without saying anything. After all, no job is dishonorable. What’s wrong with me that I’m still stuck in place and can’t meet someone to build something truly lasting with?
Marlena"
