In my experience they that are sad and alone are wont to seek wives. I cannot lightly see a man that seeks a wife but cannot have one. It may be he is a dwarf or cripple, and you say he is sad by reason of oneness. It may as well be he is sad for ugliness sake. It is a matter of personal judging; yet I have seldom heard from a man the words "I am sad, for I live alone". It may be a strange chance that has afforded the thought of this to us on the Internet. Though to my mind they are not manly words, and I would dread the mood of him that said such things to another. Lo this is Internet, and we may say what we will. I know one alone man, but he did not wish it. He once sought a wife, but when she first met him, he underbore such abuse as to his shape or such, as I think he has forsworn wooing. There is a wife for him in some place, but he does not seek her.
