For one reason or another, some people decide that they are happier being a bacholar for life. I am one of those person, the reason for me is #1, the best I can do is a welfare queen, and that's just sad. Plus, after being rejected so many times, a guy just quit trying and just decides that he's better off single #2, I do not plan on having children, so whats the point of getting married if bf/gf relationships will do? #3, and probably the most materialistic, money money and money! So, who else is being a bacholar for life?! :D

At the age of 18, I aint gonna make such desitions.

Ask me again after uni lol

I rather find someone to live, with and be happy, but that's hard to find, like you said. Companionship is very importan for me. I don't really want kids, just for the friendship, companionship, sex lol, etc.

Get a dog.

I think you're just anti-social :p

how old are you?


i dont think anyone can really claim to be a bachelor for life until they are at least 40. (im not counting anyone who has been divorced as a bachelor)

you have to successfully dump a number of wonderfully suitable woman because they insited on getting married before you can think that you can be sure that you will never succumb.

just for the...sex lol, etc. Get a dog.

:eek:

Ewwww, thats wrong

Get a dog.

Erm... not very useful for the sex though...

Well... if he had iffy tastes, maybe.

Damn, someone got there before me.

22, and actually I've dumped about 3 women who asked me to marry them. One was the Welfare queen, and the other two, well they were crazy and had their own problems that they needed to sorted out first.

:eek:

LOL! I caught that RIGHT after I posted it, but decided it would be more fun if I just left it there! :p :D

No. No. Anyone who is a bachelor beyond age 30 is a pedophile or a weird Star Trek-obsessed freak of nature...and also a pedophile. You HAVE to get married. And you HAVE to have children. And they HAVE to be your own. It's the law of the land.

No, seriously. I thought about being a bachelor forever. However, I am getting married in December. But there's a caveat: If it doesn't work out, she's probably it. No more relationships. I think I will find myself a job I enjoy and marry that.

"I'm only in it for the sex.."
*gets out of car and fades away*

I am with you on this one. I am not a rock star. Or an actor. My parents are not millionaires, neither am I. I also have Crohn's Disease.

So the likelyhood of me finding someone that I find attractive, that also finds me attractive, and our personalities don't clash, and she isn't psycho: pretty much approaches 0.

Get a dog.

Thanks, for the offer but I will have to pass ><
I'm not into Beast man relationships.

that leaves out the "wonderfully suitable" part. if you can dump a GREAT woman that you love deeply then you can think of yourself as a confirmed bachelor.

if you are over 40

after all both gloria steinem and hugh hefner married in their 60's. (not to each other *shudder*)

Well actually I heard a report that married people make more money on average than their single counterparts. Has anyone else heard this or I am misinformed?

I think we'll be better off in the long run. I mean divorce rate in the USA is 50%, and everytime theres a divorce, the husband get cleaned out by the woman, so stay single, stay free, and stay happy!

You know we've all heard this. That single men are "always broke". Well if the single man is a whipped guy and spends all of his cash on the women he meet at the bar, then yea. But lets take a guy thats basically stop looking. He has settled into a life of bacholarhood. He may only have one income, but with a living expense of around $1,000 he'll have money left over if he makes more than $1,000 per month. Hey may even have $1,000 or higher left over. In which he spends on his hobby. Whether its collecting muscle cars, or fly aircraft.

Now, lets take a man married to a woman. After hes done paying for the living expense. The wife who some money towards the living expense. Hes left with a few hundreds. Sadly in most case, he won't see the few hundreds for long because the wife just GOT to buy the crap she sees on the Home Shopping Network.

So, the final verdict?

While in a married situation, their is two income, the actual money the man has left over is very small to the actual household income. However our fine bacholar here is not tied down. He learns how to live cheaply and thus has more "fun money" than the married man.

So my verdict is, The myth that single males are always broke is not true.

Erm... I am 20, and have never even dated anyone... so the idea you can know you will never find anyone you will want to marry in a life of on average of a further 53 years seems a bit daft.

22 seems a bit early to decide that. And I doubt many would feel ready to marry just yet anyway at 22. You could have changed your mind in 10 years, 5, or even by next year... by age 40, yeah, as someone said, maybe.

Meh with the women I've seen so far, nah. I've basically seen the following women: Women who think they are too good for you, women who think everything will be handed to them, women who are slutty, women who jerk you around, women who are in it for the money, and my personal favorite, women who only wants to be friends because hey, she needs someone to bitch to when her abusive boyfriend abuses her.

Didnt say you would have found someone you would want to marry yet... hell, I wouldnt have expected you to. And I am not saying you neccessarily will either, just to say your going to be a bachelor for life is a bit premature.

Well let's just say that ever since I made this decision I've been happier, enjoyed my hobbies more, hell even enjoyed working more, and my overall life improved.

Beside, I already got a lady in my life, my 3 months old Siamese kitten Amelia.

I'm probably a bachelor for life. I'm 45, never been married, don't plan to get married, and my current GF has her own hang-ups about marriage. However, she is somewhat unpredictable, and there's a slim chance she'll change her mind about marriage, and if she does, she has a decent chance of reeling me in.

So, I guess I am in some danger!
