Hey everybody, I've lurked here for a while but never posted before but I've found myself in a weird situation.

I'm a 24 year old guy that has never dated or had a girlfriend whatsoever, when I was younger I really wanted one but was too shy to talk to them, I've gotten over it and am no longer shy, but also no longer particularly want a girlfriend, hence why i've been lurking here, I think you all might be on to something.

Here's the thing, I lost my mediocre job about a year ago, and took a risk. I worked construction and knew alot about building houses. I purchased some land and took out a loan to put up houses on that land. It worked fucking great, I got lucky every step of the way and ended up finally breaking out and making some money. For the first time in my life, i'm not check to check struggling to live, I bought my own house, started retirement funds, and even bought a new Dodge SRT Hellcat Challenger. For the first time in my life things are going good. I'm back working a mediocre job now but i'm alot further ahead than I was before.

Now the annoying part, Ever since I got my payout, My friends and family will not stop trying to set me up with women, I would've killed for this 8 years ago, but I don't want anything to do with the dating scene now. Theres a couple old crones in my family straight up shaming me for not wanting to have a girl. When I was a dirt poor blue collar worker or in school and wanted a girl no one was there to help, but I finally have a little bit of success, I'm far from a rich man, but I don't have to struggle anymore, and now it feels like everyone has decided for me that I should have a girl now when I don't want one.

The main thing fucking with me is the timing of it and the amount of times this has happened, 6 different people i've known for years have tried setting me up with a girl in the last month, and it just seems fucked up that nobody gave a shit before. Am I just being cynical?
