My avatar is a killer klown. Of course I do crazy shit. Probably why I'm still single. They can tell.

Just not pack up and move across the country. Although I've thought about hopping some freighters for fun.

I spend the money and then regret spending it, then I sell what I bought (usually at a loss) which makes me wish I hadn't bought it in the first place, which leads to me regretting selling it because I actually really wanted it to start with.

So I just end up buying it again.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the PNW. It can be fun. Never been to AK though.

My ex is in Seattle, it’s tainted now. Even though one of the best punk rock dive bars ever is there. Sad.

I want the opposite of crazy out of life.  I am single and my activites consist of doing things that ensure all is well and smooth and calm.  

Don't get me wrong, there is a weight bench in the middle of my living room.  Now and then when I can't sleep, I will jam out some music way too loud at 3AM.  Sometimes I just drink coffee straight out the coffee pot....it's just a big cup anyway and I am the only one using it. It's not the same as being married and there are for sure some differences, but as a general rule I crave stable and predictable.  Perhaps I am a little too boring when left to my own devices, but the truth is the truth.

He’ll, I’m married (no kids) and do whatever I want. I may go to the Leesburg Bikefest tomorrow for the weekend alone and see what I can get into.

I’m not asking permission to go and she won’t know I’m gone until I’ve already left.

I'm single and always have been. I've never done anything considered "crazy stuff". I've never even went to a night club or attended a party, not even in my teenage years or my 20s.

About a year and a half ago I went to the dentist and the female hygienist asked me what I do for "fun"... I had nothing. I do hate that question, but unfortunately it comes up in small talk quite often.

My house legit echos.  The entire upper floor is empty.  There is nothing up there, it's just walls and floor.  The basement is empty.  If not for the furnace in the middle of it, you could have a tennis match down there.  There is not a single thing on sitting on the floor that isn't an appliance.

My main floor is the only space that has any furniture and really just barely needed.  I am in my recliner in my living room and if I were to sneeze right now, it would echo around the house and come back.

Different priorities, when I was younger and single I would hit a different country every month or so for a vacation. I als9 didn't care about savings, 401k, etc. Now I'm married with a wife, kid, mortgage and car notes. Not to mention debt from my younger stupider years. Now crazy is something like eating out at work instead of packing a lunch.

Most people are boring and lame regardless of relationship status. But yeah being single gives you the freedom to do more things.

I have no desire to live in a van because I’m not a dirty hippie, but I travel and do whatever I want. If I remain single I will be able to retire very young.

Life is about choices. No right or wrong in my opinion with this, but there are consequences for either choice.

That is actually depressing af.  Go to the bank tomorrow and get $100 in $2 bills and take an Uber to a strip club this weekend.  Don't have to do anything "crazy" but at least get to drink some beers while seeing some tits and ass.  Get the fuck off the internet bro!

There are only two strip clubs anywhere close that are still open that I can think of.  Both are in sketch neighborhoods and both will have performers that quite honestly...I have no desire to pay money to look at.  I really doubt you would either.  Not to mention then being stuck there with no ride and having to depend on some rando uber driver to happen to want to come pick up...it all sounds like a really dumb idea.  If I was going to I would not drink and drive myself but I would very honestly rather just...not.

I think, largely, if you can't afford it, married life and/or having kids just enslaves you, and people fabricate just how joyful the grind is.

Marriage and family is a prison.

Yeah, yeah, bad attitude, I'm not doing it right, bad husband/dad/christian, whatever. I wish I had the freedom to completely pursue my personal goals, and there are times when I really wish I was single.
Flipside is wife's got big tits, a home and stability is nice, kids fun sometimes, dog always loves me.

I was discussing something like this with my buddy today.

I told him I literally just want to pack a bag and leave this shithole...

He'll, I am married with children and my kids are getting to the point where I could just tell my son to grab his shit and meet me in the garage in ten minutes, we'll be home in six months.

And my wife and I are so thoroughly on each other's shit lists that it's starting to look like a good idea.

Put another way, blow up your TV, throw away your papers, move to the country, build you a home, plant a little garden, eat a bunch of peaches, and try to find Jesus on your own.

Single, I've worked remotely for over a decade and can travel anywhere, kids are grown, one is at home (but doesn't need to be) so he can take care of the homestead...

I have a ton of freedom, I just need to leverage it. I have lots of ideas but pulling the trigger is difficult for me for some reason. Need a wingman or something to go on some trips and tear it up 😅
