Not me. I've been married to the same woman for almost 36 years. I can't even get time off for good behavior.

RE: SINGLE?
I've been single for many years now, and I enjoy it. I've dated on and off but no serious relationships. Dating can be fun.

I will admit, I don't think I'd mind settling down. It's been a while. Life's more fun when you can share it with a friend.

RE: SINGLE?
I'm a swm. About 6' and 175lbs. Blackish hair with greenish/brown eyes with olively skin tone. Nevered married, no kids, been close though, had something to do with maturity I think. What gives!!!

I reek like a republican most of the time but have moments of liberalism to balance out the odor.

You either will hate me or love me its that simple. Was labeled a karma killer one time ago because I was bold and spoke the truth. Funny how opposites can attract.

Being single has its moments just like being in a relationship will have theres.

hell,
I'm 19 and there is not a single guy out there who can keep up with me at this point in time, so why bother. Anyways it is more fun to have several then just one, who wants to be tied down.

cockroach, You can always make another vow. Besides, you can't get married until you've had me, but then you'd be spoiled and never want to get married. I don't want you to die a lonely old man. hmmm... Go ahead and get married. ;o)

RE: SINGLE?
It took nineteen years for me to marry the girl of my dreams. Well, that`s not true, I didn`t meet her until I was almost seven, but I knew I loved her even then. We became good and fast friends and shared some great times and all our secrets. I told her in the eigth grade I was going to marry her, boy, she laughed at me, but almost five years later we did get married and we still are. Even with the person of your dreams it isn`t always easy, but if it`s with your best friend too, you can work through almost anything and stay together. Single, no... I`ve been marreid for almost all my life!

Retired Army Special Forces, currently consultant to Federal State and local governments on Counter Terrorism and use of Military Intelligence by civil authority, 49, blue eyes, Glasses, 5'9", shaved bald, seeks hiking partner.

Signed the papers today, officially single thirty calendar days from today. I'm not cheap, but I can be had, let's negotiate.

No emotional baggage, that's all her's, I've been single for the last two years, this just makes it official.....

RE: SINGLE?
I am definitely singular. Used to be, I thought I was incomplete...now I realize, no one can complete me, but complementary hues wouldn't be objectionable. Don't worry about it like I used to; I'm single by choice.

Every time I hear the word 'marriage', I just laugh. Partly because I keep hearing that guy in Princess Bride: "mawwiage...o mawwiage'.

Besides, how can you promise to feel the same way until death due yoo part? (duck) No I'm not afraid of committment :)

But I do favor living in the moment.

RE: SINGLE?
I'm single, but...

"I'm reviewing the situation!
Can a fellow be a villian all his life?
All the trials and tribulations -
...think I'll settle down and get meself a wife!

A wife can cook for me and sew for me,
And come for me and go for me,
And go for me and nag at me,
The fingers she will wag at me!
The money she will take from me?
A misery she'll make from me!

...I think I better think it out again!"

49 and single for just over 2 years. I like it a lot better than I did most of the 23 year married years. I'm almost ready to be close with someone again. A hiking buddy, friend, and snuggle partner. Maybe a person who could be all three.
