What do you think of male loners?

Male loners are just boring. Who wants to be in relationship with someone who is antisocial and has no friends?

Other loners, a shame you think they are weird!

How is having no friends boring? The only topic of conversation that it rules out is gossip, and if that is your definition of exciting then it speaks volumes about how interesting your personality is.

No, it's asocial. And why exactly is liking to be alone such a bad thing?

No it rules out most things, all you would have to talk about is yourself. And no-one likes someone that talks about themself constantly. No funny anecdotes or stories, less to add to any conversation as a result of having heard fewer peoples experiences and opinions and no meeting new people. Sounds dull to me.

That is just completely wrong. I don't really have any friends yet I still talk to a lot of people and have loads of stories to tell.

Spending time by yourself constantly is pretty antisocial....

I know he's a fictional character but if a guy had a Bondesque lifestyle eg had an interesting job with lots of travel and went to exotic places and could deal with people with charm when he met them, then people would think he was interesting and cool.

If you have no job or a dead end job and spend all day playing computer games or jacking off to porn and when you do meet people you whinge about how bad your life is, then people will probably think you're a loser.

A lot of people that are more adventurous than the norm are loners to a degree, when I was travelling I met a lot of hardcore travellers in their 30s and 40s that went round alone and were really interesting and confident people. So if you are a loner - and some people are more comfortable with themselves naturally - there are ways of sorting your life out and having an interesting existence.

It's not, its not as if you are hurting anyone, but it's not going to want to make someone want to spend tie with you that isn't a loner themself.

funny u say if guy sits in room jerking to porn and playing video games hes a loser.

But what if he enjoys it lol....guess externally hes viewed as a loser but he dont give a crap if hes enjoying himself.

Tell u what i ws most happpiest unemployed was much more fun than working, guess i was a loser but i sure had a good time shame lack of money though

Same, but that's mostly because I find my (former) friends boring and have little desire to spend time with them. Would rather go to a play or concert or something.

EDIT: and I don't give half a toss what people think of me.

I think its attractive actually.
I like to be alone a lot but, being a girl, you get much more judged for it. People either think you are:
a) Suicidal
or
b) Stuck up

Meh. People are annoying.

An antisocial person is someone who is antagonistic towards society whereas an asocial person is just someone who doesn't socialize (much).

I don't think you really understand what being a loner means. I'm not trying to say loners are better or worse than sociable people, it's just that they require much less stimulation from external world, in fact, too much stimulation becomes stressful to them and they need to revert back to quietness and solitude to clear up their heads. Just because someone is a loner doesn't mean they never interact with other people, just to a lesser extent.

I mean, I consider myself a loner and I still have friends, very few, but they're more than enough. I go out with my friends, very rarely, but I do. I will go to a cinema/theatre/restaurant/gym/... alone and enjoy it just as much or sometimes even more than I would if I had a companion. I travel a lot, I will do the journey on my own and stay in hostels and meet new people there. I used to force myself to go with my friends wherever they went because I thought that was the right thing to do (because people are sociable beings yadda yadda), but I see no point in that anymore, if I'm not enjoying myself I'll just bring everyone else down, too. They got used to me only occasionally tagging along and it works fine for everyone. I have no problems working with other people at uni when required, but when I need to do individual work I'd rather go back to my room than do it in the studio or in the library, because I feel there's too much going on around me for me to be able to relax and work to my fullest potential. I'll spend most of my Friday and Saturday nights in, watching a film or reading, and you may think that's sad, but I just feel the urge to be by myself. I forgot to quote so I don't know which user said this, but basically loners don't require as much socialization but still enjoy it occasionally. I personally don't like small talk and don't feel the need to share every single thing that has ever happened to me with other people, which is what the majority of people do when they hang out. Personally, I just find people who want to hang out all the time needy, I can't handle something going on 24/7.

I agree with you that it's much harder for loners to find friends/partners they're compatible with because they don't get to meet a lot of people in the first place, but the thing is, if they're content with being alone most of the time, it doesn't really represent such a big problem.

And you also said that if someone spends a lot of time by themselves they don't have anything else to talk about but themselves, and I disagree with that, too. I find that most of these people are great listeners, and have a LOT to talk about, because they have more time to engage themselves in things that really interest them. Yes, there are people who wish they were more outgoing but are loners because they lack social skills, but there are also people who simply prefer that way of living. If they learn how to utilise the advantages of this lifestyle and of internal stimuli instead of external, then what's the problem?

I'll rather be alone than be with people I don't like for the sake of being with people and not being a loner.

THIS.
Thank you!
I'm at University at the moment and so many people I know hang out with people they don't even like as they're desperate for the social time!
I'd rather be alone then people call me rude or tell me I need to open up.
I think...they don't understand I don't like them.
