Are Single-Trips something for Losers ?

Oho – okay. Before i begin to write i’m thinking if i actually choose the right word for my title. Maybe nobody will understand what i mean with “Single-Trips” . Well, in german we call that word ”Singlereisen” – Singlereise is when you are single and you go on holidays. But, well, we’re not finished here… You go on holidays and in your holidayplace you’ll have a bunch of other people, singles - of course - around you. All willing to make holidays and maybe also willing to not be single anymore.

Well, let’s begin.

Im pretty free in November and of course i need some holidays this year. We worked a lot, we’re pretty down with our humour so everybody’s having his own holidays after this summerseason. I was thinking a lot about where to go. I was not thinking that much about with who i should go. Cause the answer is pretty simple. You have to go on holidays with somebody who will not stress you, not bother you, someone who is on the same “wellenlänge” as you. And, well .. this doesnt fit too many people which are closed to me. There is Manuela who will probably work and there is Philip which will probably work too. There are hoteliers which are off in November but uhhhm, no, would be too alcoholic.  So i will go on holidays alone, which is not even bad cause i do a lot of things alone and i love to travel alone. So, next question….. i was thinking about where to go… Easy question cause i guess im pretty easy to handle if we talk about holidays. I just want to lay down on a beach, have a good book to my right, a drink to my left and yeah, a lot of men on the same beach if possible. So i thought about going to Brazil, Thailand.. something like that. ( no egypt, greece or turkey, thanks !!! ) .

But some days ago a friend of our family told me to travel to a Single-club. ( Robinson Club etc. )… First i thought.. oooooooouhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm. Doesnt that look a  bit like …..

Like your going on holidays somewhere and you’re feeling ( already ) pretty naked in front of all the others ? I mean, it looks like you have the postmark “single” on your forehead. Well, no, thats pretty intimate. Thats too much for me. In real life nobody knows if youre f* single or not. But there it  would be pretty obvious. Maybe they’ll all think that youre here cause you dont find a man in the whole world. And 2) that you’re going on that singletrip alone ! cause you dont even have a friend…. :-)

.. Well, let’s be clear. Who is going to make such a trip ? Maybe just people who really dont find somebody ! I mean, i could probably be with somebody. Probably. Maybe, yes. But sometimes i just dont want toooo. (Sometimes ‘hingegen’ i really want… ). And if somebody wants me even more i want even lesssss. I mean, singletrip sounds pretty much that its just made for losers. But, in the end of the day… if youre single for years.. yeah maybe you are such a loser ?!?!?!

No, no, no,  i dont feel like such a loser. Maybe on a trip like that there are just young people with 2-cm-glasses on their eyes… maybe they have even hairs on the back and… and no, ohmy goood… dont even want to have a beer at night. Arghhhhhhhh. No, worser than that could be a young man with a flauschigem bart… But well, guess you understand what i mean..  

Okay … Let’s think positive for a moment: ………..
Maaaaaybe, if i would do such a trip in november …. i’ll meet there a wonderful man… but then, then he tells me that he’s irish or finnish or whatthef*. Hell should i do then ? Im not made to live in Denmark or Ireland !  No no no. Argh, besides that i guess its even pretty freezy over there…

Well, i  dont know what to do. I need a drink. But, uhm, just to underline: Since my idea about going to a sunny ranch and run around pretty naked, maybe in dirty stofffetzen … went not to open ears ( gell, Klaus ?) … im really thinking about doing such a trip…. PRRR !! Nacht !

P.S. Marc from Melonjuice: Es is auch hier eher pimmelwindig :-)

Da ich, mittlerweile auch seit fast vier Jahren,
selbst Single bin, und somit doch behaupten darf, einen gewissen Einblick in deine Situation zu haben, stelle ich hiermit folgendes fest:

Zuerst: Du verwechselst “looser” (locker, lockerer) mit dem von dir eigentlich gemeinten “loser” (Verlierer)
Aber die Frage, ob Singles lockerer sind als andere, hat auch ihren Reiz.
.)

Zweitens: Warum hast Du als erfahrener Single das Gefühl weniger wert zu sein als der Rest der Gesellschaft?
Meiner Meinung nach kann die Antwort darauf nur sein: Weil durch die Medien, die Werbewirtschaft etc. erzeugte Rollenbilder, produzierte Wünsche etc. dir vorgeben dir würde etwas fehlen.
Zumindest ein Teil deines Gefühls kommt von daher.
Dabei erfordert es durchaus Geschick, Willenskraft und Erfahrung
mit sich selbst zusammenzuleben und zufrieden zu sein.
Denn nur so kann man doch überhaupt erst entdecken wer, wie und was man ist.

Dazu kommt der unterschwellige Wunsch nach Zweisamkeit, da im menschlichen Gehirn das Programm “Fortpflanzung und für die Erhaltung der Art sorgen” noch lange nichts an Aktualität verloren hat.
Auch wenn die Lebensumgebung der Menschen mittlerweile von Höhlen zu Hochhäusern gewechselt hat.

Mein Fazit vorerst: Reise in diesen Singleclub und schau wie es ist.
Ich würde jedoch meine Erwartungen niedrig halten und keine Wunder erwarten.
Mit dieser gedanklichen Einstellung dürfte dieser Urlaub am entspanntesten sein.

Und danach wäre natürlich eine Rezension bzw. ein Bericht, welcher hier (womöglich auch nur in Auszügen) zu lesen ist,
eine coole Sache!

Selber ein übriggebliebener Sonderling, würde ich davon ausgehen, dass schon ein großer Teil der TeilnehmerInnen von Singlereisen übriggebliebene Sonderlinge sind – und der Rest Rentner.

Habe aber selbst noch keine gemacht und stelle nur Vermutungen an…

listen, gorgeous, the idea of running around pretty naked, maximum wearing stofffetzen, is still on the top of my to-do list. promised. just need to save the world from the financial collapse. once this is done ( a week, max 10 days ), i pick u up and then….off we go.
