I can understand why some women choose to be single.
I can also understand why many gay men are single.
But what I don't understand is why some straight men choose to be single. I do know some of them in their 40s and never married and not intented to (they mostly could find somebody if they make an effort and not having unrealistic expectation). I don't want to ask them why (it's a men thing of not talking that kind of thing). Anyone could thnk of why?

Some women find men too dominant in a relationship and they want to be "independent" instead (words from some of my friends).
For gay men, it is just the reality for them not easy to find someone in a mostly straight world.
Perhaps some men feel the same way about relationships with women. Have you tried asking them?
I still hold out hope to meet Mrs right but cant find a girl as laid back and happy with the world as I am.
Everyone seems to be stressed :S
Why do some women and many gay men choose to stay single?
This is my first post phewww and does anybody know how to get rid of my name with a username?
I'm a single woman and it sure as hell has nothing to do with men being too dominant.
What a strange OP.
I accept that it's not entirely 'normal' to want to live alone but unless you crave company it seems the obvious ideal arrangement.
(*)They probably feel the same way.
(**)And they don't have to put up with my slouching around the house and failing to measure up to their standards.
Have you ever considered that some men feel the same about women ?

And the shopping, on a Saturday afternoon, when there's football on
I'm in my 40's, never married and won't ever be. You're welcome to ask me why but I think i've covered it fairly well on these here forums
"Being Single" chose me, I didn't chose it. It's just the way life turned out for me really and i'm ok with it now.
You're stuck with it John
Seriously, I should contact the site administrators via "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page.
Yes, and some women of that age don't want to risk getting into an abusive relationship which will emotionally damage her children and leave her with a broken nose and black eyes and bruises, and then be left homeless and penniless when he moves on to a younger model and kicks her and her children out.
Seeing as we're generalising and everything ...
I grew up watching my female relatives (nan, mother and sister) nagging their husbands into submission, and I could never understand why a man would want to live that life.
I've always been happy in my own company. If I want other company I'll go out and find it. If I don't want company I don't have to put up with someone else invading my space.
Having a screen-name that makes you sound like a woman probably doesn't help
Sorry, I'm new
Do you split the dinners for two and freeze the other one?
Hopefully I'll become less weird and might have a chance.
