I find nothing wrong with seeking companionship. I do it via hobbies, activities etc. When I come home and the house is empty, it's very soothing (yes, odd for a lot of folks, I know).
I've just seen so many people miserable who've married just to have a body under the roof. Seriously, folks they didn't even like or have that much in common with, but they were the only 'marrying' ones on the market at the time.
So Mr. Chrome-Glass-Ultra-Modern finds himself hitched to Mrs. Country-French-Potpourri-Slinger. He's miserable, she is too...but they aren't even sure why.
And I've dated men who didn't want to get to know 'me'.... they were just shopping for a wife. They asked a bunch of shallow questions, decided we 'got along' and popped the question. And they were bumfuzzled when I said I liked being alone.....
For them, 'being alone' was like a disease that had to have a cure. No matter how radical.
To me, someone will have to be pretty incredible to make me want to change my life ;)
You are right again of course.
The main thing I'm responding to is the body of the thread and not the headline....which is, I assume the "take" of the poster about Art's comment that he misses companionship.
Did Art say he was looking for another woman? Or did the poster assume that's what his intent was? I can't really tell from this snippet.
If Art is saying he's lonely. that's understandable. If he's saying he wants to fill his void with another woman, any woman that comes along - well that is plain disgusting! (But did he say that?)
