How can I make my self-fulfilling prophecy a reality in modern society without being labelled as a homosexual?
I have decided that I want to be single for life because this is what gives me peace of mind in the long run. How can I make my self-fulfilling prophecy a reality in modern society without being labelled as a homosexual? Don’t get me wrong I’m perfectly straight
Thank you for your answers. ;)

1. Why would people assume you're gay just because you're single? Why do you have to tell people you plan to stay single..why make a prophecy at all? Just do it if that's what you want to do..and screw everyone else. (sorry couldn't resist ;)
2. become a preist? but if its what makes u happy then u shouldnt care what other people think. if u want 2 be single then good for you! much less stress n heartache. good luck.
3. I agree with first poster. And why do you say it is a "Self-fulfilling prophecy". And modern society is less likely to look down on you for staying single that many historical societies.
4. I don't imagine anyone will think you're a homosexual for being single. Besides which, I don't know where you're from, but here in the UK we can have civil marriages which means that homosexual people aren't necessarily single.
5. single men arent labelled as gay by society, apart from priests.
6. a lot of people thought elton john was straight when he married in sydney australia, but they realised later that they were wrong.you will not be regarded as gay, just because you dont get married to some tired wrinkly tramp
7. Just because you're single doesn't mean that you're gay
I don't see that you have any problem here
8. I respect your decision, but I wonder what has brought it on.
Have you been hurt in a relationship recently or in the past?
If so, staying single for life is the easy option that prevents you from being hurt again, but also prevents you from experiencing the joys and richness-of-life that being in a truly loving relationship can bring.
If long-term peace of mind is really your goal, then go for it and everyone else's opinions of you can get knotted.
If you would actually like the opportunity to experience both the best and worst things that life has to offer, the greatest happinesses and the most miserable lows, then have a re-think. Maybe decide to be single for a year and then see how you feel after that.
As for being labelled, I know quite a few men of all ages who have stayed single. Some are gay, some are straight, some are completely celibate, some are utter dogs.
If this is the decision you want to make, then why should you care what other people think of you. If people ask, you can tell them your reasons or not. It's your choice.
9. get rid of your homophobia
who cares what other people think and its insulting to gay people that you are concerned about being perceived as gay because you are inferring tjere is something wrong with it and there isn't.
