I'm approaching 43, never married, couldn't care less. I LOVE my independence and the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I have plenty of good IRL friends, a stable job where I get along with most, etc -- but I need a lot of "quiet time" and I can't bear the thought of having somebody around 24/7/365, forever. I can't even handle more than 3 or 4 hours of "togetherness" with friends I love like family without needing to retreat to my own space.

I have had intimate relationships, so it doesn't necessarily mean I was "rejected" or whatever. I just have learned what works for me, and I'm completely happy with it. It's the people who think I'm a loser who don't know what they're missing!
