The truth about women who Live Alone without a man

Anybody in their right mind would rather have somebody to be close with in their lives.

That doesn't mean they can't be content accepting the life that they have. We do what we have to do in life. And we accept what we find sustainable.

This video makes too many stereotypical generalities to be taken seriously.
 
OK, I stopped at 1:54. What I got from this was that there must be a huge existential crisis permeating society that I wasn't aware of, and also there is no end to the ideas that people can make into podcasts for their own self glorification.

I agree. I think most (emphasis on most, not all) people who are alone, long for someone they can share life's ups and downs with. It's nice to have a sounding board. I'm not talking about marriage or someone to live with, but someone you can connect with on an emotional and intellectual level. This forum is great for that, but it lacks the personal touch.

you don't have to have a husband for that or a live in lover...or even a lover... you can have a best friend.... absolutely no need for many women to want to live with any other person..

I agree, that's why I said that I wasn't talking about marriage or living together. A lover isn't necessary either, but in my case (everyone is different) it's nice to have the company of someone besides females also. I like to hear what the opposite sex thinks too and compare notes.

^^^ This is not true for me. I think strong friendships can be formed at places like online forums and... well frankly I'd trust close friends here more than I would most "in person." I think SF does offer all the "personal touch" that many need.

SF doe and touch on many subjects that we as seniors are interested in and we can share thoughts with. By personal touch, I mean it's nice to have someone you personally know where you can pick up the phone, or text and discuss what's on your mind. The forum doesn't do that, but it does help knowing there are other seniors out there that you can communicate with via the internet.

I've pondered this in various forums. There are connections that develop, even in an electronic atmosphere. OK, it's not the same as in face to face where other things also enter in. But it's very similar and not to be discarded as unimportant.

Exactly... close friendships form, emails and phone numbers can be exchanged, texts can be sent, gifts mailed. I have local friends I went to school with that were always "close" but I don't even do those things with them.
 
I think the premise of this video is a faulty assumption about living alone versus being alone.

Most women whom I know who live alone are not alone.

They have plenty of friends, mostly female, but some male. And they have plenty of relationships, just not one tied down to one man. So what? Not my circus, not my monkey.
