Is it normal to not want a significant other?

I started realizing that I was bored whenever I dated a guy, just not really into it. I dated a lot of them but I wasn't interested. Then I thought ok maybe I like girls? I tried that out, definitely do not like girls.

I sort of just rather not have a relationship, like I'd rather hang with my friends and make art. That makes me so much happier than being with someone.

People keep giving me such a hard time about this and saying things like "you could get so many guys why are you single" "wow you're still single it's been months"

I had one relationship where I really liked the guy, it lasted 2 years but since then I just don't want another one.

Is that crazy? Is it not normal that I just want to have fun with my friends and focus on my career in fashion?

    I think it's normal, I also would rather live alone than take anyone who is available. I'd like to experience love, but it is so difficult nowadays and if I can't have it then... whatever, i guess, I'll just have fun on my own or with friends like you.

    I won't comment on if it's normal or not but it's definitely common in women nowadays. Women usually have a very low sex drive compared to men and that's why a lot of them don't really feel the need for a partner, and as time goes by, a lot of them experience a drastic decline in sexual urges to the point that their whole sexuality just fades away. I noticed this tendency especially in women who consider or used to consider themselves straight. I don't really noticed this in bisexual women and lesbians. Usually gay people are either in a relationships or are searching for a sex partner. I rarely see gay people not having any interest in relationships at all.
    This can most likely be a result of the fact that this society has been feminized drastically and masculinity in general lost it's appeal for women. Masculine beauty is pretty much non existent aesthetically. That's why so many straight women have pretty much no interest in dating. Because they can't find the element that they find naturally attractive, in today's society. Masculinity.

      I can't say I've personally noticed that women usually have a very low sex drive.

      :P

    Relationships are way overrated.

    These guys just get you pregnant, so be careful. Masturbate and make your career.

    You probably haven't found someone better than in your 2-year relationship. I don't think its normal to be an eunuch. Perhaps, like Crusade said a masculine or even a true element is missing. Like u feel your relationships are superficial and prefer work instead. Life's much more fun with a partner.
