No joke.
Marriage of 12 years went south, and now I find my self divorced. Being 35 and single kind of sucks. Every woman my age either has kids, is married, or a train wreck. To old to be hanging out in bars, and truth be told, bar skanks are not really my cup of tea. So here I am, trust in women shot, I realized last week that I have not bought clothes for myself in 12 years, now what the hell do I do? I guess it is currency, motorcycles, hot rods, and tattoos for this guy. |

Everyone should live by themselves at least once in their lives. If you haven't before, then now is the time to learn how.

I'm not sure what to make of GD anymore. People are married and upset, then they're single and upset..
Hang in op, everyone has their own bag of rocks to carry, remember that.. you're not alone. |

Look at it this way. I was in the same boat as you when I was 32. I had been married for 12 years and got dumped. If that hadn't happened I wouldn't have met my current wife who is a much better person than my ex ever was. I met my current wife in Walmart. She was working there at the time. Since then she has become a nurse. Sometimes things happen for a reason.

Do you have friends you can go out with? If not, find some... it would help if they were single too. It gets harder and harder to have single friends as you get into your 30's. Most guys have taken themselves off the market by then, which is sad. I've been getting more interest from women in my 30's than I did in my 20's. It's way easier now. Never married... and the party continues. Edit: edited to sound like less of a douche. Lol |

You just need a couple wingmen to ease you back into going out and the social scene. Once you're comfortable in that environment again, you can start flying solo without the training wheels. It always helps to have help at first. Trust me OP, life as a single dude can be good, but it is what you make of it. Women rarely fall into your lap. You have to get out there and put yourself in situations where opportunity can be seized. Don't waste time thinking about how bad it is to be single. Life is too short. Make being single work for you. You're now free to pursue any woman you want. Have fun with it. |

Not really upset about bing single per say...I just don't know how to do it.

Find one younger that you, before they get all messed up in the head, maybe in the 27-30 range, or live life happy single
