Any others who are single not able to watch movies?

[Rambunctious]

The only problem with that is the stigma. I generally don't give a damn about that, but, I don't want to be "that guy" who when I was younger I would say "what kind of person hits the theatre alone"? It would almost reinforce my lonely plight lol,

Never worry about what others think....

As

are there any community groups you can join? My mother when she retired joined a local walking group and her phone is always buzzing on her what’s app with all the new people she met wanting to do big walks or hang out.

Get a new dog too. I meet so many people walking my dog, I talk to everyone (a few rude people don’t )

Being alone is so rewarding. I am single and love it! Watching movies with anyone annoys me. Way better alone.

I would definitely get another dog if i wasn't selling our house. I will have to rent and dogs aren't allowed in many apartments. Damn I loved that dog. Losing him was worse than losing my wife, he was the best.

So I love movies, especially non-fiction. I am able to still watch documentaries and such but I find it near impossible to watch a movie just for entertainment purposes now that I am single. Perhaps it is just because of the lost routine but I think it is moreso to do with the fact I can't discuss the movie with anyone, can't bounce ideas and think out loud.

Any of you like this or are you able to sit down and watch a movie alone?

I'm not single, but find it almost impossible to sit down and watch movies or any TV really. I used to watch things with my other half, but now there just isn't the time.

When I was younger? It was just odd, they stuck out like a sore thumb. At that age, everything is about acceptance.

As an adult? No one cares.

You were one insecure kid.

If you're talking through the movie; that could explain why you're single. That, or you're black...

Wow. Just wow.

I don't talk through the movie, we both discuss what we think is going on if it's a thriller or give our impression of the character, our reaction.

Don't be rude and racist. G-d made us all, accept that.

We have nothing here. I am on a dating app but when I receive a like from someone local I still like to take it slow. They seem to have other ideas.

It's difficult being single once you move past 40. These women feel the need to move fast. The internet has destroyed dating in many respects. We have lost our patience and humanity. I'm not interested in rebounding into a bad relationship again.,

Have you tried joining an online group for a hobby you enjoy? It is often easier to meet people with whom you have common interests without the pressure of a "dating" app, environment or situation.

OR on your profile you can select Friends or Penpals if you want to take some of the pressure off. True, you run the risk of meeting someone who you fall for who may only see you as a friend but depending on your perspective, it could most definitely be worth the risk.

And you're right, the older you get the harder dating becomes probably because the dating pool becomes smaller & smaller but focusing on yourself and seeing meeting someone as an enhancement to your life rather than a necessity helps to attract the type of people you want, not just people out there playing the numbers game.

Almost without exception I watch instructional vids that deal with machining &/or upholstery. The instructional vids to me are like a one on one encounter like see below.



Below; this instructor is a mute(no voice) but does an excellent job of showing his students how to achieve the impossible.

He sure did. And if you've sat through a movie in a theater with a group of blacks; you know exactly what I'm talking about. Reality isn't racist.
