Yes they do other thing, yes they engage in societal activities but still yet, there is that vaccum that needs to be filled, and once a while it really grips them. I am younger bachelor though but there are times I just feel something is really missing

Till now, I still don’t understand what loneliness really means cuz as a young bachelor, I don’t miss anything..

I have girls, I’m not just dating..

I live alone. I do all my things alone. House cleaning to cooking to washing to clothings to cooking..

I have Netflix and I have a Ps4..

So when people say they’re lonely, does it mean they don’t have nothing going on in their lives or what cuz I just don’t get it..

Having no girlfriend is no factor for being lonely to me..

I beg to differ sir!

Merely seeing friends/family that are married then Bachelors know what they are missing.

I have a very close friend who is a 43 year old bachelor and he has turned my kids to his kids...

Dude calls me way ahead of time to discuss how he would celebrate my kid’s birthday (without asking for his help o)

We (Me and wife) tried hooking him up a lot of times but he was very choosy. The last girl we hooked him up with (That appeared to be perfect. 24 year old Young lawyer Who just finished law college) he said she had incision at her back and that was it...

He confided in me sometime ago that he envies me a lot, and that he knows something is missing in his life, which is having a family.

Reason he had been treating my family like his.

Truth is: Bachelor’s know they are lonely, and they miss having a family.

Do run DNA test on your kids bro.

It's not a must to own something and lose it before you realize what you've lost. Sometimes we just feel some kind of emptiness inside of us and we know that we're missing something.

To some, that feeling doesn't linger, to others it lingers and goes deeper until they begin the search for the fulfillment of their cravings. We're just wired like that, no matter how we try to hide it.
You’re right. I miss the feasts I partook in Heaven, the never ending battles in Valhalla as well as the unspeakable tortures of hell.

Although is it not part of the discussion but that your friend has an issue be is not discussing with you. Could be mental or physical but there is a strong issue and being choosy is a cover up

You need to get occupied

With a hobby, a project or charitable function....


When on getting home, all you can think of, is food, sleep and spiritual sustenance - - boredom is far away.

The men of faith preach it.. Largely to the sisthren...
Keep occupied.

I'd say likewise the men!!

I accept that at the extended family or Owambe party it becomes a stark reminder when a much younger niece or nephew has his growing football team toddlers running after him.

But hey such is life.

It's not easy living as a not-too-old bachelor. I tend to reach out to my friends and their families regularly to rid myself of loneliness temporarily. I take their family like mine because I miss not having a family at this stage of my life. Knowing I was once engaged and went ahead to do the family introduction only for my ex-fiance to call it off over a ridiculous reason few months to the wedding makes the feeling worse. I sometimes find myself lost in thought. I know that one day I will get married and also raise my family. It's not easy.

When I was taking my kids to their grandpa few days ago to spend the remainder of their holidays I was so happy! Coupled with the fact that my wife was also traveling the following day, my joy knew no bounds. Finally the peace and freedom I craved was here!

This weekend my home didn’t feel happy! It was sad and lonely. I felt cold loneliness throughout. I tried everything I could to distract myself but I miss my family so bad!

I miss our little quarrels, our eventual understanding and acceptance of each other using truce keeping.

I miss their mum badly. This made me wonder? How do older bachelors cope in this very lonely world? Una dey try o... respect.
It all boils down to the fact that you’ve already had the experience, Bachelor never get any experience, so dem nor no as e dey be. grin grin
