Agree. I was married for 9 years, and after divorce, I tried dating for like 3 months, and I realized I prefer my alone time. I dont have to answer to anyone, depend on anyone, or have to care what someoene else thinks.
I think when you're younger you put up with so much because you're working toward having a husband and family. Now that I'm not looking for that I find it very hard to compromise and really hard to overlook even the slightest indiscretions.
A lot of women now know how horrific and ruthless men can be. So you're doing the right thing. Her husband cheated on her whilst she was in the hospital, once she got out he divorced her and took her to court for full custody. Can you believe that ! Shocking
I'm 57 and I have not dated anyone in about 9 years. Everybody has their own agenda and always looking for ways to control you or use you. I totally agree with the 'sincerity' and 'power' issues getting in the way of a meaningful and mutually enjoyable relationship. Rather be alone than in bad company.
I’m 54 years old and haven’t dated anyone in 5 years. Every once in a while, I say to myself, “maybe I’ll try it this season”. But then a few seconds later, I say “Nah, I’m good”. 😂😂😂
I'm 65 and I've been saying the same thing ever since my divorce 20 years ago at the age of 45. I haven't dated for over 20 years and have never felt lonely. Just way to much stress and I don't believe in that undying romantic love anymore. I've seen many relationships in my life and not one would I have had. Enjoying life being Single by choice.
I'm 36 and I'm done with dating as well. I've got amazing friends and they have amazing kids who love me. I just won't settle for an emotionally unavailable and immature man with no long term goals.
I now enjoy being by myself after an awful 20 year relationship with a failed marriage/seperation. Now turned 62 yesturday and Im enjoying my time alone witjout the constant stress of the drama of an unfaithful fake husband!
I am 55, single, never been married. At this point in my life I have NO desire to date. I'd rather use my energy and LOVE source for myself and family and friends. I have invested years and ended up realizing I was deceived, used, and manipulated. It would be lovely to have a true companion in life, but I've yet to meet any man who is capable of honesty.
Oh the insecure man-babies come out crying, whenever a women expresses herself. Marriage isn't necessarily great for everyone, and being single can be rewarding for some. Do what's right for you.
@james pond move from what area? I am active at church, socially (theater, symphony, corporate job, sports), and have tried online dating for only 3 months. All my dating has been in person, through mutual friends, and church.
@Troll Boy I show the world all my faces - my profile pic happens to be one where I'm fixed up with makeup (like most women in the world). Where is your pic? The world I live in TODAY was indeed built by men and it's HELL and failing us all. Save your drama for the stage, darling.
I have never dated. Never had a serious boyfriend. I am 41. I just started trying to date. Men don't take you on dates anymore. They send you messages on FB that say "Hey Beautiful". I've found the whole thing to be extrememly frustrating.
I am a single mom of a special needs child, and I decided a year ago to stop dating and looking for a partner. I am focusing on myself and on my child, and it feels so freeing! I realized that no one is going to swoop in and save me. I have to handle my life and my problems on my own. I don’t need anyone else because I am strong and I can do this on my own. And now, when my friends call me with their relationship problems or when I hang around couples, I have feelings of relief and gratitude that I am not in a relationship right now.
Early 30s. Quit dating in mid 20s. It was more exhausting than "fulfilling". I broke up w/one guy & blatantly told him I didn't want to raise someone to even just have basic human decency.
"I find people to be insincere and not worth my time." Hit the nail on the head for me. While i am happily married, I choose to not allow many people into my life for this reason...I also just value alone time so much.
I am a 56 year old male and I don't feel like dating either. As Sharon says, there is so much insincerity and I rather be happy alone than unhappy with someone. This might sound selfish but I rather be with my family and friends.
It’s not selfish. I totally agree. The time I’ve spent with men that have manipulated and cheated, I wish I’d spent with my Dad. He has COPD and I don’t know how much longer I will have him. I’m so sad about the wasted time on those men in that regard.
You're not selfish, you're smart. Better happy on your own than miserable with someone. Life is too short to be made miserable. Enjoy your life and your family and friends.
I'm a 57 year old Registered Nurse..state of Missouri..had a stroke in June related to covid19..did a medical bankruptcy..went through the exact same thing Sharon went through .very painful..past 10 months. But..Like Sharon..I had to fight for myself. You find how cruel people can be.
Lost a dear friend to cancer several years ago. She was single/divorced. She told me she mentioned to her chemo nurse she wished she had a husband to be there with and for her. The nurse shook his head and said, "no you don't" and proceeded to tell her about all the hateful immature husbands who accompanied their wives to their chemo app'ts, openly contemptuous in their demeanor. Who needs that? Nobody, that's who.
I hear ya Sharon. I stopped dating a few years ago. In my late 50's now & have watched of my women friends keep trying & keep getting hurt. The guy's were cheating, lying about their financial stability, constantly whining about random body aches and/or all of those. One of my friends said it best, "I give up! Now they're just looking for a puss, a purse or a nurse." lol!
I am an attractive and successful 41 year old woman... why gave up men 7 years ago. Between my work life(nurse and small business owner) and personal life that’s filled with enriching friendships that fill my heart and warm soul I feel fulfilled. These past 7 years have been the most peaceful and joyful of my life and it keeps getting better.
I've been married and had two other long relationships. One ended just last Christmas and now, at 55 yo, I'm just not interested in dating. Not because I hate men, or think they're all one thing or another - but I just really can't be bothered. The very thought of dating (well, it's a bit tricky at the moment anyway, let's face it!) fills me with dread. I would say that men, whatever their age, seem interested in youth. It used to annoy me but now I think, meh, let 'em crack on with it then. It may change, but for now, I am happy living on my own, catching up with friends when I can (again, tricky with COVID but I do live in the area of the UK with the lowest COVID infection rate), walking my dog, hiking etc. - just doing my own thing. It's all good.
Amen to that!! I am around your age, married once and two other long term relationships. Last one ended early 2020 after 10 years. Bottom line. He was emotionally immature and a cheater. I also realize I enjoy my time alone, being an independent woman, own my own home, have a puppy, good job. My time is too precious to invest with someone who disappoints in the end. MEN. I can live without them
I completely agree but on the opposite side of the gender. Morbid obesity, tattoos, entitlement, skewed laws, and single mothers have killed dating for most men from the ages of 16 to 67
Sharon still thinks she's in her prime. Not even close. Women make huge mistakes when they're young and pass up good men. Now she's looking for a good man and can't find one. Can't have your cake and eat it too. She's not far from being a cat lady.
@@burgcarli929 like i said 30 was 3 decades ago for her..i dont see where shes is getting at about giving up on dating. that was over before most people now was born now
First time on your site, Drew. Will subscribe. Another empath here who has not been in a relationship for 10 years. I am 64. These last ten years have been the best! I walked the Camino, trekked in Nepal, explore, paint, write and listen to my inner guidance.
Quit dating just over five years ago and it’s the best decision I ever made. I have had more personal and financial success since I made that decision than ever in my life.
Online dating is a trash heap. If you get lucky you might find a good person. But you have to have the stomach to sift through all the garbage to find them.
@@asuka3407 I met my wife through online dating. I had actually logged on to delete all my accounts when I saw her message. I almost didn't even respond. Glad I decided to give it one more shot.
She’s at 100% I completely stopped dating, I’m not bitter, I’m better. The drama, the stress, men this days want a prefect woman, with a perfect body, they don’t care about the heart ♥️
Ugh tell me about it! I'm kinda the opposite. Been with my boyfriend since high school and its insane how emotionally immature he is compared to me and he's a couple years older than me lol
Me too, and I've gotten some more pets, recently got just a few chickens, and I don't worry about my hair or nails or make up or ironing clothes, I do keep a pair of poopy foot gear by the door now, ah freedom!
I'm married and a lot of the time I feel like I have a full-time unpaid job taking care of a giant baby. I believe that deep down men feel loved when a woman is taking care of them like their mother did.
@james pond but let's also not forget about all the absent fathers. So many of the men I know had their fathers leave the family . that also erodes the value of relationships and comittment and responsibility
My bf is fantastic but he did said to me his first "I love you" after he watched me ironing her work shirt at 6am in the morning. Haha 😂 he is super independent though. He cleans everything he sees dirty or untidy without hesitation, he is a great partner and listener. But yeah I get your point haha
@Anastasia333 You got that right! Wouldn't we all like to be taken care of like a baby? Men need to grow up and realize, we're NOT your mommy. If a man wants to be babied like a mommy, he can stay with mommy.
I don't think anyone decides to stop dating. I think people realize they're doing ok by themselves, and if they meet that special someone, of course they'll make an exception, but they're not actively looking for them. They're going on with their lives, and if that person shows up, great, and if not, oh well. They're going to live their best lives whether that person ever shows up or not.
I decided to stop dating 10 years ago. Please don't assume for others what you do not know. The rest of what you said I agree with. But not that first sentence. I am happier than I have ever been and do not anticipate dating ever again.
@@TobyPriceHD no one said anything about giving up. It’s about valuing one’s own time and looking out for number 1. Y’know. Just like how men operate. 😘
I quit dating since early last year at 28. Frankly I’m over it. My teens and 20s have been a series of disappointments in dating/love. I’m at 7 years living alone now and I’ve grown so much as a woman. It’s hard to imagine ever cohabiting with anyone now. I’ve developed one hell of a glow in the last year and I can’t help but think it’s all linked to lack of stress from dating. I’ve found a much more satisfying life single and spending time with family/friends and working on career/hobbies. Turns out I never needed anyone they needed me more. Ideally i’d like to get a cat shortly, then it’s over for everyone 😂
I love Sharon Stone! She is far from being a tart. She's sexy and strong and men try to put her down because she may old but far from salty. She is a goddess who knows her worth and she's been through hell and back and still standing THRIVING✊
My grandma stopped dating after her second marriage ended in divorce. She was a happy lady. It used to make me sad because she was such a great lady, but I think she was just before her time.
Yep. At 53 done with the dating nonsense and feeling really good about it. If a man is not adding to my life in a positive, life enriching way, then they have no place in my life.
I love the line that Drew is making. She is a very good conversation interview, and I love the fact that she can interview any Hollywood friend that is not necessarily promoting something
My " love" life was chaotic. Luckily it brought me two lovely children and three lovely grandchildren. All the misery i did go through was not in vain. I live by myself now since 2005. I was 55 and stopped having my per...s. My last romance came to an end at the same time. WHAT a timing! So no biological need for males from that time. My life without a male is one huge relief. Not for a million i ever want a male in my own home sweet home again. I have two little dogs and they can better hug and give me love and attention than a man ever did. Men always want more than just cozy hugging. They always want self satisfaction. Men take energy away....dogs GIVE energy! Depending on the breed and the character of the dog. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
@james pond 🙌🏼 my goal exactly. Thank you James for your amazing response. I appreciate the guidance it’s received well from one grateful momma bear ♥️
I agree with Sharon. I have been done for ages and I wasn’t a fan anyhow. I have had the emotionally abusive one. I had the belittling one. I had the one who lied about being married. I had the one who was too scared to make his move so he dated/married someone but keeps wanting to be friends (platonic, no side stuff but he flirts). I’m just done
@@burgcarli929 you assume that there were guys lining up around the block, there weren't. The last one was a nice guy but he was afraid to make a move and then when I was able to be ready, he was in a relationship. I respected them enough to not interfere. I hate dating, I'm allowed. I don't have cats but I have a kick ass career and multiple degrees that I worked hard for. Sorry this bothers YOU for some reason. Not really sure why YOU care
@@zzplantlover I can't think of a bigger way for a human being to waste their time than by collecting multiple "degrees." What you did was get conned by people selling you the illusion of legitimacy and a phony substitute for true approval for a very high price. It's a form of emotional prostitution. Somehow this man got together with another woman so it doesn't sound like he had a problem making "his move" with the right person.
@@burgcarli929 and let’s keep it real, you’re the rejected one and you think you’re nice. If you’re rejected, you’re rejected. You’re probably not that nice.
At the moment if someone feels lonely just call to friends ! You don't have to belong to someone anymore! A lot of people is independent! Tru is when you getting older then you realise it's much harder! It's nice to eat food with someone or just spend time together! I'm lonely last 5 years and get used to! It's life! I don't want be with someone just because I feels lonely! It's very hard found the right partner! Coronavirus situation doesn't help ! Stay safe all!
@@brenzyc8703 These same celebrities will rail against any sexism, racism or bias anywhere else except when it's them being bigoted and judgmental of men (or whites).
I TOTALLY agree with Ms. Stone and the ladies comments. I am 62, had a wonderful marriage and still miss my husband, I am a widow and attempted to date and I was not impressed. I did get a best friend out of one of those dates, he’s a nice and fun guy, but just as a friend. I’m done!
interesting conversation, I Love animals and my time with them too. I recently leased a horse and love' that time so much I don't worry about dating anymore..feel very fulfilled !
I stopped dating 10 years ago and at 61 I now realize I will never get married; and I'm okay with that. Love my son and my fur babies and feel lucky to have had the life I have.
After 2 divorces and 1 LTR, at 61 I’m done. I also have dog that is good company, that you can trust, and is lovable! So much happier now than being involved with an idiot.
Even Sharon Stone has thrown in the dating towel! Now I don't feel so bad that I'm in the same mindset with these two awesome ladies! And by the way...me-ow to both! They're beautiful!
Sorry, she's not close to being beautiful. When she was, I'm sure she passed up a lot of good men. Now she can't find one. Women think their looks will last forever.......Sharon has found out too late, she was wrong. I hope she finds happiness with the dog.
Yeah I’m 24 and I haven’t been on a dating app in 6 months now...I just have prioritized exploring my own demons and asking myself how I can fight them or accept them. And make myself a better person. And it’s not pretty so far lol
I think a lot of people have had a lot of bad experiences with dating and relationships. Also, as you get older, you know more what you're looking for, what you won't put up with, what you must have, etc., etc.
I'm almost 51 and I'm so over dating. Men of all ages seem to have lost the art of flirting and engaging a woman with their words to show their interest. Now it's nothing but emojis and atrocious English if you attempt any kind of online conversation! Gah! Who needs it?? Better off with spending time with myself, friends and family! I'm with Sharon Stone on this!
Did they have such great flirting capabilities before, though or were we all just easily impressed as youngsters? And if you add patriarchal ornaments to this man persona on top of that... well... I have doubts.
This is the best! I am off it too. I want to spend my life with me for the rest of it. Absorbing my grown children and my 3 rescue dogs! I think it is more important now to Teach our boys what a Good man should be! Plus I have been widowed 18 years and the times I've dated all I could think is 'I could have had a V-8' love this clip. love you and Sharon!
I’m 31 & I’m ready to stop wasting my precious life and energy on dating!!! How liberating! And what a gift to love and cherish my alone time, and the other love that’s present in my life in my connections with others.
I agree with Sharon. A very good man is truly hard to find. And as you get older, I think most women enjoy their alone time and being able to just be. Do what you want. I to have dogs. Three of them. My Yorkie is very kissy and cuddly. Men can't give unconditional love. I'm sticking with the Dogs!
Both parties want someone to nurture them. Help them grow as a person. I see that in basically every "happy anniversary" or "happy birthday" post. Seems it is a relationship requirement.
@james pond my ex was responsible in some aspects like working, but then he wanted a woman to cook, clean and basically look after him? I work to plus we had 2 kids so sorry honey, no time to be your mummy. He would criticise me if I didn’t bring him a drink when he mowed the lawn???
I just can't get over how intelligent she is and well spoken. I mean I'm imprinted on some of her first movies where she played a dumb blonde and yeah what a great actress that she could pull that off when she's clearly not a dumb blonde she is just so smart.
Im 33 years old and honestly the time with ur child and alone time is best time of ur life im single mom i do what ever i wana do when ever i wana sleep play with my kids talks to my family no need men in ur life if u r done with them family told me remaary again but i said no i have my kids and my family its enough
Sharon is still beautiful and a strong-willed human being. Ordered her book last week. Can’t wait to read it. Her IQ is on genius level. More power to her.
Right on! 1.5 years ago ended my last relationship and have been so happy ever since being single. Have no intention of dating in the future. I love my wonderful life!
I love my family (raised my two daughters on my own, from the time they were 2 yrs old and 5 yrs old). Worked hard. No child support...ex turned out to be a party guy. Have 5 grandchildren (all grown up adults now). Dated a few times....some cuties...but I just couldn’t handle the drama. I was working, picking grandkids up at day care after work...watching them until 10:00 when their mom got off work (she was vet tech, my older daughter is private teacher). And grandkids would sometimes spend weekends with me. I also was fostering shelter dogs and cats (mostly seniors. That no one wanted). Some did actually get adopted to wonderful homes...I adopted the rest. 😊. I love animals. Much nicer than humans, I think. I’m old now..soon to be 73 yrs old. Lost my younger daughter to heart disease 9 yrs ago. Then storm blew thru Jersey (Superstorm Sandy) and 8 months after they lost their mom, my grandkids lost their home in the storm. Their school also was badly damaged. I was grieving for my daughter (she was only 37 yrs old when she passed)......trying to hang in for grandkids. They all stayed with me in my little modular home for two months...but I gave my son in law plenty of money to find a home to rent until their house got rebuilt. Heart disease is in my family...both sides. I was 16 yrs old when my dad passed from heart issues....no warning.... just like my daughter. I live alone now....kind of on a limited income (am unable to work now due to health issues) ... with two cats (strays I took in about 6 yrs ago), and I’ve been feeding and caring for 13 feral cats (got them all trapped and neutered/spayed). Have big cozy cat shelters in back yard for them during bad weather. I really miss having a dog. I always had dogs...but no fenced in back yard here...and some days I’m just not feeling great. When I owned my bigger home, I had large fenced in back yard. I still walked the 4/5 dogs I had, but I was younger, stringer, had more money and more energy. I’m a caregiver, I miss hugging my family since this Covid started. Finally going for my Covid vaccine in 2 days. Hard to find an appt for a vaccine in Jersey, took me 2/3 months of searching. Hopefully, I’ll maybe be able to finally hug my family. Still be cautious tho. I love animals, love my family (grandkids have come a long way after since their mom, thankfully)...but I’m just not interested in dating. Omg...I have chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and a few other heath issues. I can’t walk a dog every day 4/5 times around my area. I do what I am able to do. The rest...well, if I get to it, I’ll get to it. I find I’m much more content and at peace when I’m alone...or hanging with my cat buddies. Gave dating a shot back in the day...but just don’t need the drama...and...drama seemed to always occur with the men I dated. Some were good friends...nice...funny...cute....but, eventually, I felt as if they just needed too much from me. I couldn’t always be there fir them. My family and pets always came/come first. 🤷🏼♀️😊
I felt this at 10 looking at adults became and adults and really felt it after a 17 year /22 year marriage. I just like peace and qomen don't loke trauma
Divorced x3 and haven’t dated for 20 years, I have never been happier. I wanted to work at all of my marriages, because marriages take work and commitment, however none of my exes had the maturity to recognize this fact. I am far happier being single.
I agree with Sharon, I'm enjoying my own company and going at life on my terms. I have been single since 2016, and I've not found the drive to couple up. I buy myself flowers, I know what I want and I can do what I want, when & how I want. I got friends, my adult children & am friends with my ex, so if I want dinner, and he's not busy, we go do things together. I'm aware of my own toxic nature & no one needs to b subjected to it.
I believe that it was Ellen Bernstyn on Oprah years ago that said that she hadn't dated in 30 years. So many people have stability issues. And insincereity runs rampant worldwide. Circle of friends should grow, but as time goes by, true friends become a very tiny circle.

I know that’s right!❤
Wow, I thought I was the only one who decided to stop dating. But I agree with Sharon and it holds true for me. Nice to know I am in good company!
"I find people to be insincere and not worth my time." Hit the nail on the head for me. While i am happily married, I choose to not allow many people into my life for this reason...I also just value alone time so much.
I’m having a difficult time not letting this make me feel like a bad person. People have no social skills. Gone
Couldn’t agree more with this statement
I am a 56 year old male and I don't feel like dating either. As Sharon says, there is so much insincerity and I rather be happy alone than unhappy with someone. This might sound selfish but I rather be with my family and friends.
good call
It’s not selfish. I totally agree. The time I’ve spent with men that have manipulated and cheated, I wish I’d spent with my Dad. He has COPD and I don’t know how much longer I will have him. I’m so sad about the wasted time on those men in that regard.
Not selfish! Just self aware!!!
It's more selfish to remain in an unhappy relationship and keep both parties from a better life.
You're not selfish, you're smart. Better happy on your own than miserable with someone. Life is too short to be made miserable. Enjoy your life and your family and friends.
I'm a 57 year old Registered Nurse..state of Missouri..had a stroke in June related to covid19..did a medical bankruptcy..went through the exact same thing Sharon went through .very painful..past 10 months. But..Like Sharon..I had to fight for myself. You find how cruel people can be.
What a country we live in where if you get sick, to survive you need to go bankrupt to get care ☹️
Lost a dear friend to cancer several years ago. She was single/divorced. She told me she mentioned to her chemo nurse she wished she had a husband to be there with and for her. The nurse shook his head and said, "no you don't" and proceeded to tell her about all the hateful immature husbands who accompanied their wives to their chemo app'ts, openly contemptuous in their demeanor. Who needs that? Nobody, that's who.
Obamacare
expecially when ure in need... the same for me too. Learned to be stronger by myself
So sorry to hear this. I feel like adult world is nothing but abuse and punches.
I hear ya Sharon. I stopped dating a few years ago. In my late 50's now & have watched of my women friends keep trying & keep getting hurt. The guy's were cheating, lying about their financial stability, constantly whining about random body aches and/or all of those. One of my friends said it best, "I give up! Now they're just looking for a puss, a purse or a nurse." lol!
😂😂👍
Thanks for showing sympathy to men suffering from physical pain.
You poor thing, having to put up with someone in pain. I bet he misses you.
A puss, a purse, or a nurse lol 😂🤣
🤣true that
havent thrown in the towel yet but im close.
I'm 58, I don't do dating anymore. I love my alone time.
I am an attractive and successful 41 year old woman... why gave up men 7 years ago. Between my work life(nurse and small business owner) and personal life that’s filled with enriching friendships that fill my heart and warm soul I feel fulfilled. These past 7 years have been the most peaceful and joyful of my life and it keeps getting better.
You sound quite mad to be honest
Words without photo do not count lol
@@francoisr4036 I think she doesn't need your approval to find herself attractive...
@@teebrinner5939 You sound like a lower case 'g' trying desperately to gaslight someone who simply does not need YOU or your approval.
Sounds like a solid woman to me!!!!
I've been married and had two other long relationships. One ended just last Christmas and now, at 55 yo, I'm just not interested in dating. Not because I hate men, or think they're all one thing or another - but I just really can't be bothered. The very thought of dating (well, it's a bit tricky at the moment anyway, let's face it!) fills me with dread. I would say that men, whatever their age, seem interested in youth. It used to annoy me but now I think, meh, let 'em crack on with it then. It may change, but for now, I am happy living on my own, catching up with friends when I can (again, tricky with COVID but I do live in the area of the UK with the lowest COVID infection rate), walking my dog, hiking etc. - just doing my own thing. It's all good.
I love this " crack on" saying. I heard it on the netflix show I am watching this week. Stealing this from across the pond. thanks!
Hah! Yes it is a very British expression I think. I spent 20 years living in the US so I’ve come back with plenty of your sayings!
Amen to that!! I am around your age, married once and two other long term relationships. Last one ended early 2020 after 10 years. Bottom line. He was emotionally immature and a cheater. I also realize I enjoy my time alone, being an independent woman, own my own home, have a puppy, good job. My time is too precious to invest with someone who disappoints in the end. MEN. I can live without them
Yes! Live your life.
You sound totally together to me. Just Brilliant !
Omg, I agree %100 with Sharon, dating men at this time feels so tiring. What's out there doesn't feel worth the energy.
I completely agree but on the opposite side of the gender. Morbid obesity, tattoos, entitlement, skewed laws, and single mothers have killed dating for most men from the ages of 16 to 67
Closed up shop ! Her head got stuck and so her beautiful boy just shut down .
I get it , don’t judge just person life choice and development stage.
Sharon still thinks she's in her prime. Not even close. Women make huge mistakes
when they're young and pass up good men. Now she's looking for a good man
and can't find one. Can't have your cake and eat it too. She's not far from being
a cat lady.
@@burgcarli929 like i said 30 was 3 decades ago for her..i dont see where shes is getting at about giving up on dating. that was over before most people now was born now
@@Georgia-Red-Mud single mothers don't cause men to act like douchebags, men acting like douchebags cause women to be single mothers
I don't date because I like coming and going without explaining myself. I'm far more accomplished alone than while in a relationship.
Its like you have to fake it just to please your SO who will never be happy anyways
First time on your site, Drew. Will subscribe. Another empath here who has not been in a relationship for 10 years. I am 64. These last ten years have been the best! I walked the Camino, trekked in Nepal, explore, paint, write and listen to my inner guidance.
Quit dating just over five years ago and it’s the best decision I ever made. I have had more personal and financial success since I made that decision than ever in my life.
Online dating is a trash heap. If you get lucky you might find a good person. But you have to have the stomach to sift through all the garbage to find them.
Absolutely🤦🏼♀️
I was lucky but before meeting my current partner yeah it was... Not quite interesting I must say
@@asuka3407 I met my wife through online dating. I had actually logged on to delete all my accounts when I saw her message. I almost didn't even respond. Glad I decided to give it one more shot.
Rather use my time on me, friends and my enjoyments.
Hardly a one percent chance.
She’s at 100% I completely stopped dating, I’m not bitter, I’m better. The drama, the stress, men this days want a prefect woman, with a perfect body, they don’t care about the heart ♥️
Sounds familiar
I say that “I am done dating and I am done with sex”
Sharon explains it really well.
You do sound bitter
@@TonyVega123 She does.
And mind intelligent no women
@@yasminmoledina37 I won’t completely disagree with you on that, common sense is in short supply
Omg what Sharon said about emotional maturity is exactly what I find! I’m 28 and thought it got better with age but maybe not
Ugh tell me about it! I'm kinda the opposite. Been with my boyfriend since high school and its insane how emotionally immature he is compared to me and he's a couple years older than me lol
From experience, they mature after about.... 40 years on earth, hang in there
At being single and almost 42...lol no it doesn't get better or change. Haha
Found my husband when I was 23 and he was 40. Been together 27 years...men mature much later IMO
@james pond no the complete opposite actually
I think Sharon and Drew have just set free lots of women from the chains of believing that we must pursue a relationship. 🦋💖
“Done dating.” Me too, sister! I love myself more and my pets. 💕
You mean you're 20 cats?
Me too, and I've gotten some more pets, recently got just a few chickens, and I don't worry about my hair or nails or make up or ironing clothes, I do keep a pair of poopy foot gear by the door now, ah freedom!
I gave it up 5 years ago I am 55 now and totally don’t miss dealing with small minds, much prefer my puppy too!!
OMG yes at 51 it is finally time for a long break from a babysitting/therapy job you do not get paid for.
At any Age
ENJOY!!!!
Yesssss
Just turned 52 couple days ago and gosh I wish that were true but it's not true, not for me.
50 here..and oddly fulfilled being single..no drama ❤️🇺🇸🕊
I'm married and a lot of the time I feel like I have a full-time unpaid job taking care of a giant baby. I believe that deep down men feel loved when a woman is taking care of them like their mother did.
@james pond but let's also not forget about all the absent fathers. So many of the men I know had their fathers leave the family . that also erodes the value of relationships and comittment and responsibility
Of course we love it
wrong!!!
My bf is fantastic but he did said to me his first "I love you" after he watched me ironing her work shirt at 6am in the morning. Haha 😂 he is super independent though. He cleans everything he sees dirty or untidy without hesitation, he is a great partner and listener. But yeah I get your point haha
@Anastasia333 You got that right! Wouldn't we all like to be taken care of like a baby? Men need to grow up and realize, we're NOT your mommy. If a man wants to be babied like a mommy, he can stay with mommy.
Those 2 have the cutest boyfriends I've ever seen!
Sharon dropping some wisdom, knowledge and truth!
I am right there with you Sharon and Drew. Never been happier. No more drama. No more games. Just me and real life.
Totally not related to the subject, but... this dog is always SO calm around Drew, this is what trust and peace look like
Sharon said it perfectly on how I feel about dating.
OMG. This is EVERYTHING. absolutely true
I don't think anyone decides to stop dating. I think people realize they're doing ok by themselves, and if they meet that special someone, of course they'll make an exception, but they're not actively looking for them. They're going on with their lives, and if that person shows up, great, and if not, oh well. They're going to live their best lives whether that person ever shows up or not.
I know plenty of women who consciously said, out loud, I'm done with dating.
I decided to stop dating 10 years ago. Please don't assume for others what you do not know. The rest of what you said I agree with. But not that first sentence. I am happier than I have ever been and do not anticipate dating ever again.
No, many of us decide to not to date anymore.
And what do you think DECISION is based on, lol.
I quit dating 5 years ago and I’ve never felt better about myself, my time, my worth 💗...I don’t miss it at all!
I respect your choices, I love dating and find courtship so interesting, but I also repeat others.
Same! Right after I turned 40. I realized it made me utterly miserable.
Exactly with me, 5 years and instead have been learning so much about myself and appreciate myself so much more.
You shouldn't give up, there's sure to be someone out there for you! Just keep your chin up
@@TobyPriceHD no one said anything about giving up. It’s about valuing one’s own time and looking out for number 1. Y’know. Just like how men operate. 😘
I quit dating since early last year at 28. Frankly I’m over it. My teens and 20s have been a series of disappointments in dating/love. I’m at 7 years living alone now and I’ve grown so much as a woman. It’s hard to imagine ever cohabiting with anyone now. I’ve developed one hell of a glow in the last year and I can’t help but think it’s all linked to lack of stress from dating. I’ve found a much more satisfying life single and spending time with family/friends and working on career/hobbies. Turns out I never needed anyone they needed me more. Ideally i’d like to get a cat shortly, then it’s over for everyone 😂
Sharon Stone always looks so effortless chic. I want that dress. I want that bracelet. I want that haircut!
so
Yeah, RIGHT!!!
Do it with an effort, instead of just wanting 🙄😒
I love Sharon Stone! She is far from being a tart. She's sexy and strong and men try to put her down because she may old but far from salty. She is a goddess who knows her worth and she's been through hell and back and still standing THRIVING✊
Yeah she is full of her
Nice to know it isn’t just me 😂 I guess it’s a global thought.
My grandma stopped dating after her second marriage ended in divorce. She was a happy lady. It used to make me sad because she was such a great lady, but I think she was just before her time.
Me too, i just feel I am better with my time, myself, my friends, my family
Yep. At 53 done with the dating nonsense and feeling really good about it. If a man is not adding to my life in a positive, life enriching way, then they have no place in my life.
I love the line that Drew is making. She is a very good conversation interview, and I love the fact that she can interview any Hollywood friend that is not necessarily promoting something
My " love" life was chaotic. Luckily it brought me two lovely children and three lovely grandchildren. All the misery i did go through was not in vain. I live by myself now since 2005. I was 55 and stopped having my per...s. My last romance came to an end at the same time. WHAT a timing!
So no biological need for males from that time. My life without a male is one huge relief. Not for a million i ever want a male in my own home sweet home again. I have two little dogs and they can better hug and give me love and attention than a man ever did. Men always want more than just cozy hugging. They always want self satisfaction. Men take energy away....dogs GIVE energy! Depending on the breed and the character of the dog. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
So true, it’s so tough raising boys and teaching them, just because it may be tradition doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.
@james pond 🙌🏼 my goal exactly. Thank you James for your amazing response. I appreciate the guidance it’s received well from one grateful momma bear ♥️
I am tired of my grown children ask me what is the matter with me that I don't date or get married. Why? Been there done that. Can relate.
My sister met Drew in an elevator once. She said she was tiny and very sweet. 💕
I've met her too and she's super nice and down to earth.
@@MothGirl007 I’m so jealous! I adore her! I loved her so much in ET that I named my Golden Retriever Gertie, after her character. 💕
I’ve heard that from others as well that have met her. That’s she’s tiny in person and super nice.
I agree with Sharon. I have been done for ages and I wasn’t a fan anyhow. I have had the emotionally abusive one. I had the belittling one. I had the one who lied about being married. I had the one who was too scared to make his move so he dated/married someone but keeps wanting to be friends (platonic, no side stuff but he flirts). I’m just done
YOU picked those guys......over nice guys. Now you and Sharon can't find a nice guy.
Good luck with the cats.
@@burgcarli929 you assume that there were guys lining up around the block, there weren't. The last one was a nice guy but he was afraid to make a move and then when I was able to be ready, he was in a relationship. I respected them enough to not interfere. I hate dating, I'm allowed. I don't have cats but I have a kick ass career and multiple degrees that I worked hard for. Sorry this bothers YOU for some reason. Not really sure why YOU care
@@zzplantlover I can't think of a bigger way for a human being to waste their time than by collecting multiple "degrees." What you did was get conned by people selling you the illusion of legitimacy and a phony substitute for true approval for a very high price. It's a form of emotional prostitution. Somehow this man got together with another woman so it doesn't sound like he had a problem making "his move" with the right person.
@@burgcarli929 you assume there’s a ton of nice guys?! Lol
@@burgcarli929 and let’s keep it real, you’re the rejected one and you think you’re nice. If you’re rejected, you’re rejected. You’re probably not that nice.
I agree 100% especially going through something traumatic. I'm 57 had a stroke 3 years ago and my life is too precious to be cheated ever again.
At the moment if someone feels lonely just call to friends ! You don't have to belong to someone anymore! A lot of people is independent! Tru is when you getting older then you realise it's much harder! It's nice to eat food with someone or just spend time together! I'm lonely last 5 years and get used to! It's life! I don't want be with someone just because I feels lonely! It's very hard found the right partner! Coronavirus situation doesn't help ! Stay safe all!
I'm only 30 and i feel the same Sharon. We're definitely in different spots, men and women.
Not into the generalisation. I've met men with high EQ, women with low EQ, everyone has different strengths and flaws
@@umair111 Exactly, it's such a cheap excuse to simply generalize a group to sooth your mind and validate your worldview.
@@brenzyc8703 These same celebrities will rail against any sexism, racism or bias anywhere else except when it's them being bigoted and judgmental of men (or whites).
I love the clarity that Sharon has. Nice interview.
Sharon is SUCH an inspiration ❣ what a beautiful survivor 🙏 inside and out 🌈☔☀️
Totally with you and agree 100% with Sharon. So DONE Too!
❤ From Canada
I TOTALLY agree with Ms. Stone and the ladies comments. I am 62, had a wonderful marriage and still miss my husband, I am a widow and attempted to date and I was not impressed. I did get a best friend out of one of those dates, he’s a nice and fun guy, but just as a friend. I’m done!
Amen!!!! I haven't dated in 10 years.. now that he is 18.. I still have no want to date.. I agree completely with what has been said!!!
interesting conversation,
I Love animals and my time with them too. I recently leased a horse and love' that time so much I don't worry
about dating anymore..feel very fulfilled !
I stopped dating 10 years ago and at 61 I now realize I will never get married; and I'm okay with that. Love my son and my fur babies and feel lucky to have had the life I have.
After 2 divorces and 1 LTR, at 61 I’m done. I also have dog that is good company, that you can trust, and is lovable! So much happier now than being involved with an idiot.
Even Sharon Stone has thrown in the dating towel! Now I don't feel so bad that I'm in the same mindset with these two awesome ladies!
And by the way...me-ow to both! They're beautiful!
Believe me Ben feel the same way as regards dating
Sorry, she's not close to being beautiful. When she was, I'm sure she passed
up a lot of good men. Now she can't find one. Women think their looks will
last forever.......Sharon has found out too late, she was wrong. I hope she
finds happiness with the dog.
@@burgcarli929 what does any of this have to do with her looks? That's a very one dimensional shallow way od commenting on a woman's worth
Totally on board with this! Loved what Sharon said. Definitely resonates. xoxo
@@ivanasantillimusic I totally agree. It is her decision. Finding partner or soul mate doesn't need to be beautiful or handsome.
Sharon Stone seems so sincere, down to earth and awesome
Good for you Sharon put yourself and your family first and enjoy 😊 your life. You sound like a great mum 🌺
Aww Drew's dog is so content and relaxed 💕
“I don’t need another kid.....”. 😂. So perfect.
Yeah I’m 24 and I haven’t been on a dating app in 6 months now...I just have prioritized exploring my own demons and asking myself how I can fight them or accept them. And make myself a better person. And it’s not pretty so far lol
Re demons, read Tina gilbertson's book, constructive wallowing, re healing painful feelings
I completely am in the same place, Sharon!! I'm 45 yo
Sharon is like me! 😂😂😂
I'm over It 🙊
Same.
Same
Same. You said it girlfriend ! Preach !
I quit dating too. Im tired of giving my body away and ultimately felt used instead of cherished 🙏
ure right.
I think a lot of people have had a lot of bad experiences with dating and relationships. Also, as you get older, you know more what you're looking for, what you won't put up with, what you must have, etc., etc.
I'm almost 51 and I'm so over dating. Men of all ages seem to have lost the art of flirting and engaging a woman with their words to show their interest. Now it's nothing but emojis and atrocious English if you attempt any kind of online conversation! Gah! Who needs it?? Better off with spending time with myself, friends and family! I'm with Sharon Stone on this!
Did they have such great flirting capabilities before, though or were we all just easily impressed as youngsters? And if you add patriarchal ornaments to this man persona on top of that... well... I have doubts.
OMG Sharon nailed it!
This is the best!
I am off it too. I want to spend my life with me for the rest of it. Absorbing my grown children and my 3 rescue dogs! I think it is more important now to Teach our boys what a Good man should be! Plus I have been widowed 18 years and the times I've dated all I could think is 'I could have had a V-8' love this clip. love you and Sharon!
Boys certainly don't appear to be learning from men so it leaves what?
I'm with Drew and Sharon
I’m over it too Sharon. This is what happens when we get a Frenchie 😂 and bombarded with love. Life just feels complete
I’m 31 & I’m ready to stop wasting my precious life and energy on dating!!! How liberating! And what a gift to love and cherish my alone time, and the other love that’s present in my life in my connections with others.
I have finally accepted that no man is going to be there for me and be thoughtful and dependable. Where did I get this idea, really?
Good lord I've had the same sentiment for years. Turned out I was right all along.
Loyalty is very scarce these days unfortunately 😔
Patriarchal + Disney conditioning.
I agree with Sharon. A very good man is truly hard to find. And as you get older, I think most women enjoy their alone time and being able to just be. Do what you want. I to have dogs. Three of them. My Yorkie is very kissy and cuddly. Men can't give unconditional love. I'm sticking with the Dogs!
ure right. I prefer animals to humans
I’m with Sharon. I’m happy on my own. Single after a 20 year relationship. Men want someone to nurture them. It’s so annoying
Both parties want someone to nurture them. Help them grow as a person. I see that in basically every "happy anniversary" or "happy birthday" post. Seems it is a relationship requirement.
@james pond my ex was responsible in some aspects like working, but then he wanted a woman to cook, clean and basically look after him? I work to plus we had 2 kids so sorry honey, no time to be your mummy. He would criticise me if I didn’t bring him a drink when he mowed the lawn???
Men or women feed off on each other in relationships. It's not true that it's one sided.
@@tulipchic34 I'm sure you were picking up all the checks...
@@ra639 Couldn’t because he would gamble my pay
SO FEELING THIS!! ALSO DREW's dog is just sooooooo cute!!
We have come to realize that we create our own happiness :)
I just can't get over how intelligent she is and well spoken. I mean I'm imprinted on some of her first movies where she played a dumb blonde and yeah what a great actress that she could pull that off when she's clearly not a dumb blonde she is just so smart.
Im 33 years old and honestly the time with ur child and alone time is best time of ur life im single mom i do what ever i wana do when ever i wana sleep play with my kids talks to my family no need men in ur life if u r done with them family told me remaary again but i said no i have my kids and my family its enough
Sharon is still beautiful and a strong-willed human being. Ordered her book last week. Can’t wait to read it. Her IQ is on genius level. More power to her.
Right on! 1.5 years ago ended my last relationship and have been so happy ever since being single. Have no intention of dating in the future. I love my wonderful life!
I feel the way Sharon does when it comes to not wanting to date anymore. Me Ethier
I love my family (raised my two daughters on my own, from the time they were 2 yrs old and 5 yrs old). Worked hard. No child support...ex turned out to be a party guy. Have 5 grandchildren (all grown up adults now). Dated a few times....some cuties...but I just couldn’t handle the drama. I was working, picking grandkids up at day care after work...watching them until 10:00 when their mom got off work (she was vet tech, my older daughter is private teacher). And grandkids would sometimes spend weekends with me. I also was fostering shelter dogs and cats (mostly seniors. That no one wanted). Some did actually get adopted to wonderful homes...I adopted the rest. 😊. I love animals. Much nicer than humans, I think. I’m old now..soon to be 73 yrs old. Lost my younger daughter to heart disease 9 yrs ago. Then storm blew thru Jersey (Superstorm Sandy) and 8 months after they lost their mom, my grandkids lost their home in the storm. Their school also was badly damaged. I was grieving for my daughter (she was only 37 yrs old when she passed)......trying to hang in for grandkids. They all stayed with me in my little modular home for two months...but I gave my son in law plenty of money to find a home to rent until their house got rebuilt. Heart disease is in my family...both sides. I was 16 yrs old when my dad passed from heart issues....no warning.... just like my daughter.
I live alone now....kind of on a limited income (am unable to work now due to health issues) ... with two cats (strays I took in about 6 yrs ago), and I’ve been feeding and caring for 13 feral cats (got them all trapped and neutered/spayed). Have big cozy cat shelters in back yard for them during bad weather. I really miss having a dog. I always had dogs...but no fenced in back yard here...and some days I’m just not feeling great. When I owned my bigger home, I had large fenced in back yard. I still walked the 4/5 dogs I had, but I was younger, stringer, had more money and more energy.
I’m a caregiver, I miss hugging my family since this Covid started. Finally going for my Covid vaccine in 2 days. Hard to find an appt for a vaccine in Jersey, took me 2/3 months of searching. Hopefully, I’ll maybe be able to finally hug my family. Still be cautious tho.
I love animals, love my family (grandkids have come a long way after since their mom, thankfully)...but I’m just not interested in dating. Omg...I have chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and a few other heath issues. I can’t walk a dog every day 4/5 times around my area. I do what I am able to do. The rest...well, if I get to it, I’ll get to it. I find I’m much more content and at peace when I’m alone...or hanging with my cat buddies. Gave dating a shot back in the day...but just don’t need the drama...and...drama seemed to always occur with the men I dated. Some were good friends...nice...funny...cute....but, eventually, I felt as if they just needed too much from me. I couldn’t always be there fir them. My family and pets always came/come first. 🤷🏼♀️😊
Total Respect for Sharon & Kelly 🥰. I haven’t dated in almost 13 years!
My experience of men has been, too many think they have a portrait in the attic, so hypercritically ageist past 40.
Interesting turn of expression.. what does it mean, “portrait in the attic.”
@@intuitivemode5249 it ages for them, instead of them aging. Dorian Grey.
@@straighttalkinggirl7622 Was just thinking the same thing. Thanks so much for explaining!
I felt this at 10 looking at adults became and adults and really felt it after a 17 year /22 year marriage.
I just like peace and qomen don't loke trauma
Divorced x3 and haven’t dated for 20 years, I have never been happier. I wanted to work at all of my marriages, because marriages take work and commitment, however none of my exes had the maturity to recognize this fact. I am far happier being single.
Wow! Sharon totally articulated what I have been feeling in regards to dating in this era. Loved it!
I'm wondering how many women who feel this way also have kids like Drew and Sharon. I mean, I'm also over dating but it can get lonely sometimes.
I am over it because of the reasons she talked about. I have family, friends, and hobbies. I am taking a long break from babysitting.
Good point.
We all feel lonely.
I agree with Sharon, I'm enjoying my own company and going at life on my terms. I have been single since 2016, and I've not found the drive to couple up. I buy myself flowers, I know what I want and I can do what I want, when & how I want. I got friends, my adult children & am friends with my ex, so if I want dinner, and he's not busy, we go do things together. I'm aware of my own toxic nature & no one needs to b subjected to it.
I'm 30 and I agree with everything tht she is saying. At this point I don't even know if I will ever have kids, but I'm at peace with it
I believe that it was Ellen Bernstyn on Oprah years ago that said that she hadn't dated in 30 years. So many people have stability issues. And insincereity runs rampant worldwide. Circle of friends should grow, but as time goes by, true friends become a very tiny circle.
I get it. If my husband passes I do not see myself getting remarried. Too much work to start all over again.
I agree... ditto
We don't need a man, we'd like a man but not one that will waste our time.
Likely because you cant get a man
Anyone can GET a man. That is just rude
