Default marriage - 12-17-2007, 08:03 AM

Some guys just don't want to get married. You have a woman you have to take care of, another family to get to know, you have to compromise. If you don't want that stuff it's easier to just stay solo. If you're a stationary guy and living in one place I can' imagine not getting married. But some guys are wanderers. If you get married and have kids its hard to just pick up and go. You also have to have stability, as that's important to many women. If a guy doesn't care about that he has to start if he plans to get married. Plus a relationship is a lot of work, even the best of them, and both sexes have a lot to complain about each others habits. So I think its best not to assume theres something wrong with a guy who doesn't want to get married. I find it interesting that if a woman is single in her thirties its because there's not good men around but if a guy is not married its because there's something wrong with him. In any case marriage ain't for everybody. If I hadn't met my girl i wouldn't even consider marriage till i was in my thirties.

Default Not shyness all the time - 12-17-2007, 09:33 AM

Some of these permanent bachelors have very many women.

Some have 2 or 3 women at the same time. When asked by any to marry, they start focusing on the other who is not pressuring them.

Then there are those who have girlfriends, break up, another girlfriend, break up, through their 30s, into their 40s, and maybe 50s, just imagine a 50-year old never-married man timing chicks in clubs, they exist! They do get chicks coz maybe they've got hot cars, money, etc.

I suspect some of these men have had bad experiences so they are covering up with a lot of superficial quick flings. They never go deep.

As someone said, you assume that men need to marry.

Adam was created a "solo guy" and the decision to bring a wife into the picture was God's idea. Adam never told God that he was lonely.

But in matters of getting sex, maze, every man gets it. Thats what matters to men. Sex.

Marriage is for women.
That's what am asking myself too, must all people marry or get married?
Marriage nowadays is also disadvantageous to the mens' needs.

I beg to difer. This is too sweeping a generalization. Marriage or barchelorhood is a choice not unlike choosing between Ketepa tea and Dormans Coffee in supermarket. Each has its drawbacks and gains.

For me, I guess the gains of barchelorhood outweigh those of getting married.
