An interesting subculture I came across was people who refer to themselves as "Quirkyalone". People in this group call it a mindset and a way of life. A Quirkyalone is not a quirky person that likes to be alone, but rather someone who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generallly prefers to be alone rather than dating for the sake of being in a couple. Quirkyalones are more interested in friendship and companionship rather than a primary relationship because of a need for independence.
Why I’ve Never…heard of this
Have you ever thought about how many different kinds of people live in the world? Now I'm not talking about different races, I'm talking about different individual people. There are some many lifestyles led by other people that I've never heard of before. Just watch an episode of Wife Swap to see how different people can really be from each other. Chanel's post about Costa Rica inspired me to look up types of alternative lifestyles led by my fellow citizens of the world.
