Many answers for this question. Most of my friends are already married except from he hard workers who made themselves (that would be another thread). Still, I don't understand how most of the married ones (trust me 99%) tell me about huge problems and they don't seem to care... it's not that they have "faith" or solutions, or that they are working something out... they just... go on... intriguing (without solving anything). I don't want to live like that (that statistical dominant of quality of life).


I used to get a lot of questions from them regarding "why are you single? still?", they got married and discussions-question increased... then a few years after their marriage they stopped asking

Don't want to taint this thread with "negativity" but I'm amazed by the ugly stuff I've seen regarding their marriages (most of them won't tell but I can see, read between the lines, anticipate, predict and I'm mostly right) and some just tell me their stories out of trust (intjs can be excellent diggers).



Many sad stories... but me, being only a listener, I can't really tell if such stories are real. The guys seem to live because of their kids and sex, and the women... I just don't know how they smile and kiss each other after the problems and complains they tell me about... so... a lot of confusion... I have better times along with my single friends, no drama, no sad stories, no equations to solve (no mystery if such stories are real or not).

Almost all of my friends in daily life are single. I have old friends from times gone by that are married with college age children (EEK!!!!), but they always live far away and they move in different circles.

In terms of close friends? Only 1 or 2 single friends. Everyone else is paired up.

"Friends" is such a relative term. I only count maybe 3 or 4 people as friends, the rest as acquaintances. So from the friends standpoint, only one is still single. As for all the acquaintances, ie, the people I hear about through Facebook, about 75-85%.

A fair balance of both I would say, my friends who are married have really cool partners for some reason and my single friends have their heads screwed on.

Only a handful. Nearly everyone I'm friends with has been partnered for years. I definitely need to make more single friends, just have to find the time and figure out when/where/how to meet 'em.

My guess would be 70-80% of my friends are single.

I never really thought about it, but of my close friends, only two are still single. The rest are all in relationships. I'm still single also. Maybe I need to meet more people...

Pfft - who am I kidding.

It's about half and half. I have a few friends who are in the dating/relationship stage, others who are in the single and happy stage, and others who are in the single and lonely stage (like me) haha.

Mmmm.. I see it in loads of marriages / long-term relationships too. I said elsewhere I think a large part of this is the result of people getting with people based on a physical attraction alone, or as a major deciding factor. Further down the line when they eventually start to see the real person, or start seeing past the superficial appearances, it's often too late. They're emotionally attached, sometimes already with children. Oh well.... What can you do? Sometimes the person never shows their true self until a lot further down the line as well. And sometimes people change for the worse because they get complacent and think they don't need to or get tired of making effort to impress their partner. It's almost like a right of passage for some, a societal norm, just following what others are doing: mess around when young, eventually get with someone and stick with it, have lots of sex and attraction early on, have children too soon, get overwhelmed due to the lack of understanding what the responsibilities would involve, get fed up with each other, bitch about each other to other people, have occasional or regular arguments, stop having sex or have sex extremely rarely, grow old and stay together for companionship.

People are stubborn too. They don't want to grow and evolve together. It's a take me as I am attitude and I'm never willing to budge an inch. Arrogance and a self-deluded belief that they are perfect as they are and can do no wrong.

Well, that's their choice. I'm damn glad I didn't do things that way.

Oh, to answer the question, I have no friends so my answer is as follows: N/A. Last remaining friend I had died a long time ago. Second last one I fell out with a long time ago and have no desire to rekindle. The rest of them from before that where when I was at school, and have not seen any of them for a dozen years. No idea what anyone of them are doing with their lives now...
