The text is delicious for a English learner! I copied it for detailed studing.

[peacetraveler22]

Glad you like it! And I'm pleased to know I help you with your English studies from afar. :)

[real_marsel]

I am glad too.

I recognised myself in this post :) I live the same way - travel alone, eat alone etc. I don't feel sorry for a woman sitting alone in a restaurant because I understand her - she is comfortable being alone, but I'd rather order food delivery.

[peacetraveler22]

Yes, I'm comfortable being alone. For me, it is totally ordinary after so many years of being single. :) But I will be quite pleased if I ever encounter a decent man to join me on life's journey. Unfortunately, now that I don't live in the city, there are almost no delivery options except pizza and Chinese food. I dislike the latter, and try not to eat too much of the former. :) In the city, I could order from any restaurant and have it delivered straight to my apartment door.

Hi, Shannon.. Did you move?

[peacetraveler22]

Move? Where? :)

I have a bf, a child and a cat and I still eat alone(sometimes) at the restaurants or go biking (not every human in my family can survive 28 miles on a bike), hiking and kayaking. I don't see anything wrong with it.
My mom is the same :) that's why we like each other's company so much! I don't go to the movies alone....because I like to watch them at home on Netflix. If I liked movie theaters I would go. My boyfriend can go alone without me if I don't want to watch something (I'm not crazy about movies made from comics books).
I wouldn't do it in Russia though (that's why I love America so much) because a single woman attracts too much of negative attention. At least that's how it was in the past. Maybe it changed already?

[peacetraveler22]

I don't think you can really compare the life of a single American woman with that of a single Russian woman - esp. if they are in their 30's or 40's. I think each society views them differently, quite honestly. This is why I'm constantly shocked and repulsed to see so many comments on RuNet calling women past age 25 old, worthless, etc. I've never once felt that way in America. Not in my 30's and not now in my early 40's.

I know....Even my mom has to constantly explain why she likes to live alone.....in her 70-s! People always sticking their noses in other people's business. I dislike it so much!

[peacetraveler22]

In her 70's...by then, she should be able to live alone in peace without such stupid questions. :)

I usually eat at home, but when I fly to my company's headquarters for a week, I usually eat lunch and dinner by myself. It's fine, since it's more a necessity to eat than a leisure eating.

I also go to movies and museums by myself. Because I come to watch something, not really to talk.

I won't be traveling my myself though, especially since now I am married. Because I have only 10 days off a year, I would rather spend them with my husband.

[peacetraveler22]

This makes sense. If I had a partner, then I'd probably want to spend vacations with him also. But even in past relationships, I needed a lot of alone time. This is just my personality type. I'm not a social creature by nature. :)

[irisha8787]

We are both introverts, and live like 2 crabs in one shell :)

[peacetraveler22]

Perfect! :)

[theodorexxx]

ah, those women issues

[peacetraveler22]

You have no issues as a man? :)

[theodorexxx]

i have issues but eating alone is definitely(fuck this word but i spelled it properly) not one of them

[peacetraveler22]

It is not an issue for me either...:) And I'm pleased you are a good speller. Male issues are entirely different than female. We are judged more harshly by society on almost every level.
