This is esp for those of you in my age range - late 20s, early 30s, out of school, settled in their careers…
What do you do to fulfill your personal life if you don’t have a husband and kids?
Re: Single Ladies
The one thing that comes to mind I can't say in good company :D
Re: Single Ladies
look for a husband to have kids

Judging from life1 threads, kids and especially hubby do not provide much of fulfillment anyways.
Re: Single Ladies
^ Are you a single lady 
I travel when the opportunity arises. Spend time with family - I love my nieces and nephews to bits. And go out with friends and family. This in addition to work keeps me busy.
PCG - contentment is a state of mind. You can learn to be happy with what you have instead of being bitter about what you don’t. That’s my take on life.
Re: Single Ladies
Yeah, Im trying to slowly adopt that mindset.
Re: Single Ladies
Most of my friends in that age range who are single have a circle of friends, they go out, travel, make plans with friends, date.

are the friends single too?
Re: Single Ladies
I don’t think that the friends have to be single too…they could be single for the time that they are with you…

Re: Single Ladies
2 of my cousin’s besties (they are like a ridiculously close trio) all 25-28 in age, are going on a 10 day trip girls trip to China. I totally envy that freedom. To just pick and go when the mood (and vacation time!) allows..not having to worry about another’s schedule or preferences or wants/needs.
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side?
Re: Single Ladies
ok so you travel two or three weeks of the year. what about the other 49 weeks? i think pcg bhai wants tips on what to do with life if it doesn't revolve around a marital setup, not what distractions are funnest.

I get that...maybe I didn't articulate what I'm trying to say....I meant that the world is literally your oyster, to do whatever you please for the most part..my eldest sister is single, she was married once briefly when she was 19, it lasted 5 years and then they divorced. She never remarried, and is now 41. She fills her time outside of work with book clubs, jewelry making classes, family, recreation (camping, river activities etc) and travel.
And again, I, as a married women with husband and kids (which I would not trade for anything!) envy the ease in which she can decide to take a class, a road trip, join a club at her leisure without having to take into account someone else's schedule/preference.
Re: Single Ladies
No husband and kids means you have more time to yourself. Time to explore your interest and time to learn new things. Why don’t you take up a course in something you really want to do. Like photography, photoshop, drawing, painting, language classes, culinary classes, flying lessons, tennis lessons etc. I mean utilize this time in to expand you horizons and grow your personality.
Re: Single Ladies
Travel isn't a distraction - it's an enjoyment and anything a person undertakes should be done with the mindset that I am enjoying my life and my now, rather than running away from or seeking distractions from my problems.
My first comment about being happy in my own skin and happy with what I have is the key. I think most of us are blessed, it's just recognizining those blessings for what they are is what some fail to do.
Re: Single Ladies
So what happens when you are so old and all alone?
a secretary who was living alone was found dead 2 day later, her daughter was informed then, scary stuff
Re: Single Ladies
^you find "so old and all-alone" friends
Re: Single Ladies

And here people lies the problem for why single people might be unhappy. It's because even when a single person is content with what he/she has and their life, others make their single status an albatross for them to carry and make being alone something they should be embarrassed about.
