Why would some people choose to be single?

If you choose to be with someone and then after many years you walk away a total wreck you don't want to make the same mistake again and the easist way to avoid such a massive mistake is to stay single and be happy with that decision.

and also, i dont need a partner to validate myself and my life, i dont need a partner to prove my worth as a human being and a female at that

My hairdresser (about 40, kids at primary and a couple of older independent ones) got divorced about 3 years ago. Not long after that she moved 40 mins away to live with her new partner (the LOVE of her life) in his house,. Recently I get my haircut and was told  'it didn't work out' with the last guy, then proceeds to tell me she is going out that night with her partner (new one). I don't think I will be able to keep up there.

Yep.

I don't like being single. I find it lonely.

I just find it easier than trying to live up to expectations and never achieving them, as they seem to constantly change.

That's why you have friends. But you can't play tongue hockey with friends.
