You know what’s great? A healthy relationship…with yourself. See what we did there?
Yes, pairing off can sometimes be appealing, but getting that foundation of self-love strong and solid is really what it’s all about.
That’s a lesson far easier said than done, though.
Below, guys sound off on how they feel about the nights alone, the meals for one, and that single life in general:
How about we take this to the next level?

Another Whisper advertisement masked as a real story. F*ck you Queerty!

Whisper stories are always so lame. A bunch of anonymous using a few words, over someone else’s photos, to unknowingly telegraph that they are the architects of their own misery.
if you hate being single, you’re never gonna make a relationship work. it’s THAT simple. until you can be happy and content and make happiness on your own, you will never be able to do it with someone else. and every relationship you try to get into you will poison with your blind desperation to “be in a relationship”.
how did i deal with that gay single life? i cultivated friendships, interests, hobbies, and thriving social circles. and had a lot, a lot, a LOT, of truly amazing awesome sex with regular lovers – many of whom remain my strongest friends today.

Ah so sad. These models have such a hard life while looking so beautiful. Oh wait it’s not really them telling these made up stories.

“i’ll be single forever because gay men are the worst”
no. you’ll be single forever because you’re crippled by internalized homophobia and blame everyone else for your own issues.

Unfortunately there are only a handful of real relationships in the gay community. Most are content with being glorified roommates.

@AtticusBennett: Or you are looking for love in all the wrong places.

These fake Whisper articles… how could I ever forget these things?
“i’ll be single forever because gay men are the worst”
LMAO. Nobody wants to date a loser. That’s my take on this one.
I am in a relationship, I work full time, and am happy with myself. I did this through honesty and being open.

Most of these whisper quotes seem to be from lazy tools who couldn’t hold down a job… I assume the guy who wrote them lives with his parents and eats top ramen noodles while living out of the basement.

@AtticusBennett: Exactly. So many people just expect a relationship to drop out of the sky into their laps. Quit whining and blaming everyone else for your problems and get off your ass, go out and meet people.

I met soo many people through charity work ! I work within the Deaf community.
Although I think relationships are hardwork and sometimes you gotta work at it and not give up, too many people give up easily BUT I also believe you need to be happy within yourself ! and sometimes just learn to be happy single.

Despite thinking that these “Whispers” are ridiculous, I agree with one of them.
I would rather be single. I love not having to deal with someone else’s BS. I am comfortable in my own skin and don’t need someone “to complete me.” I have many friends and a loving family so I don’t get lonely.
I would never say “never” to a relationship, but I can honestly say I’m not going to go out an look for one.

Reportedly, Nancy Reagan died alone with the television blasting so she wouldn’t feel lonely. Point being,
In any kind of relationship, unless you make a murder / suicide pact or you both just happen to die at the same time, somebody is going to end up alone and lonely like Nancy Reagan. As someone said,
We All Die Alone.

I’ve been single by choice for many years. There’s nothing like it. I come and go as I please and make decisions without having to compromise. Sex? Yes. There’s plenty of that out there. I just don’t want the commitment.
Horse Lips
What a bunch of whiners. I can clearly see why many of these guys are single.

@GC1985: Giancarlo honey. You’re not in a relationship. Living in your mother’s basement does NOT mean that you’re in a relationship with her. For god’s sake.
o.codone
I’m in a relationship with Giancarlo. I walk him every 6 hours or so. hahahhhahaaa.

What is there to “deal” with about being single? Some of us prefer it. I have plenty of friends to hang out with, and some of them I hook up with. Just because someone is “single” doesn’t mean they’re alone, sexless, isolated and destitute. Relationships can sour at any time, I don’t want to deal with the hassle of getting someone to move out of my place, or deal with tangled finances, etc… if I break up with someone.

I am single right now. While I would like a relationship, I’m currently pursuing a doctorate-level degree. When exactly would I find the TIME to give someone the attention a relationship deserves?
And I look at those ages. Really? 34? Please.

Being alone does not mean lonely.
