Why do I feel happier as a single guy with a lot of good platonic female friends?

It is a strange thing, but I have a lot of very good platonic friendships, but am single but really don't feel the need to change that. I feel more fulfilled than I did when I was in my last relationship - and more motivated to get in shape and enjoy life. However I can't explain why... I can't help feeling happy and upbeat the whole time, how come?

Update:

John C: we go out together and take it in turns to pay - we buy drinks for each other, we plan nights out alternately etc. And even if I were to go out and I were to end up spending more on the night out than when I get invited out, I couldn't give a fig...

    If you feel that you don't need to change the fact that you're single, then you obviously know that you don't want a relationship. Being fulfilled is a good thing. If you're happy with yourself and motivated to get in shape and just have a good time, come to terms with that and eventually the right person will come along. Platonic friendships are the best ones, in my opinion. You get to know the opposite sex really well on a casual level and then once you get into a relationship, understanding the person will come a lot easier. Enjoy your life as it is.

    actual any guy might properly be purely acquaintances with a woman. Ive had many lady acquaintances who ive no emotions for in a romantic way. All men can do an analogous element. If some men declare they are in a position to have intercourse while not having feeling for the girls human beings then why won't be in a position to you be acquaintances without sexual emotions for her. Its an analogous element yet in opposite.

    As hard as it is for some people to understand, not everyone is set up psycologically for relationships. If you're one of those who isn't, then don't get into one! They're a lot of work, and if doesn't do you any good, it will do you bad. Sounds like you figured that out! Good for you!

    It's because you are always see the good side of them, they are leaving the drama at home and just having a good time. The girls you date bring all the stupid drama along with them.

    Do you take your "friends" out to dinner and pay for them? Have deep, personal conversations over the phone? Have very meaningful, affectionate cuddling?

    So, how does it feel to work your *** off, and not see a penny, while your salary is going into somebody else's bank account?

    Because your friends have given you all the emotional supports you need. It's divine to be in such great companies, don't you think?

    You will meet your mate some day.

    I think its just you don't want to settle down right now. I use to feel that way. Its normal. Maybe you don'tlike relationships.
