Why would I waste my hard earned money, precious time, and introduce a hazzordus woman to my social circle of friends/ resources/etc... as a man who’s been through a lot of shit, not interested. That’s why MGTOW is so appealing to men. We learn the truth about women and are tired of being treated the same way every time.
You can love women or understand them, you cannot do both.
Being single isn't a sign of failure. Being old and single without family generally is. A lot of it is societal, being that past generations put a huge importance on procreation, and there's less of that now. Not saying it isn't important now, just that there are other things that are also important. I would posit that being unhappy is a bigger sign of failure than anything.
After a few abusive relations I’m definetly happy to be alone. It’s not a sign of failure, it takes a strong person to go it alone. Think of all the people who are stuck in a relationship they aren’t truly happy about? Like those that cheat for example. They are failures they failed at being honest and faithful to their partners!
some relationships are honest and love is really there but out of 6 billion people is it easy to find your soulmate for a relationship like that?
Because Society is full of Morons who think a humans worth is based on their romantic status!!! I love being single!!! I never fell for Societies trick traps, I am my own person and can think for myself. I live myself and don't need anyone else to tell me my worth because I know I'm worth a trillion times more than what some Moron or Society says I'm worth!!!
Being single is a sign of failure? I've had three gfs and those were THE MOST UNPRODUCTIVE times of my life. Singledom has allowed me to progress my career to being accepted into a doctoral program on top of allowing me to have sex with multiple women. I'd say I'm doing pretty well in life as a single man actually.
I've NEVER been happier and more content with my life than the past 3 years that I've been single. I was able to go to Vegas and have the best experience I wouldn't never imagined had I been in a relationship... it's been the best time of all finding my true self identity and character and I learned to love myself more that anyone else probably loves themselves. I have learned to respect my own hopes and dreams and desires istead of wasting time chasing others. I've learned how to control my body and urges to the point where I don't even need a guy to get me off. I just use my crazy awesome imagination and I'm way happier in the end.
When I was single I didn't mind. But when I turned 25 that's when I started dating again. Because I always wished to get married and start a family of my own.
Now that I'm in a committed relationship, I hope it last because it was extremely difficult and it felt like it was impossible to find a guy I was looking for as " boyfriend/ husband material ".
But I never looked at it as being a failure, because at times I chose to be single.
I love it when I'm single, and when I'm with the right person, I love being in a relationship as well.
There's good things and bad things about both.
So why not enjoy the benefits of each status when in them?
Being happy with your life is successful.
If you're in a relationship or not is not a failure or anything. It's just a relationship status.
I personally appreciate my singleness. I love doing what I want whenever I want. Being able to just get out and do things on my own. I've found that I haven't found someone who I feel compliments me all that well if I'm being honest so in my eyes I rather be single than be in a relationship for the sake of being in one
I'll personally share my feelings and my experience being single. I enjoy the freedom of being able to do what I want without having to report in everyonce in a while but I also feel like a failure because I haven't dated anyone in 2 years. I feel inadequate in many ways as far as experience, looks, and being able to express my self. My self esteem is pretty low and at this point I feel like women view me as a piece of shit cause I've had no luck (I've been on multiple dating sites with 0 matches for over 4 months). I enjoy being free but I miss having someone to talk to and I crave physical contact (not sexual but that's a plus).
I think of it like grades; relationships, 50% are Ds and F grades, many are Cs, because they are bad enough to break up, not good enough to know you are totally happy, Being Single is a B, and being in an Awesome Happy healthy relationship is an A, but only the top 10% of relationships earn an A, and if they have to convince others their relationship is awesome, they aren’t, likely a C and confused, because others all know an A relationship when they see one
I should add, couples can improve their grades, that’s up to them, they can also go down
Being single is great, but being with the right person is better. I think people are just generally wired to seek companion. So not desiring it goes against what is natural to them, so it's weird. At the same time, I think that for most it's a sign of faulty personality. Either something about you is so unattractive that it pushes people away, or you can't sustain a long term relationship due to some undesirable trait or issue
Because of society, I guess. Women are made to believe that growing up getting married and raising children and taking care of the household is the right thing to do. So if by my age you are single, then you are a failure based on what society expects you to do, and what it expects you to be.
Honestly this is a really general question. Personally I like the whole concept of a relationship but for the moment I haven’t found someone I won’t get bored of. So I date and stay single and I’m alright with that. It doesn’t have to do with not having guys come after you but your mindset of actually wanting it or not.
Being in a relationship shows that you're a desireable person and you attract more attention than if you're just another average joe walking through life. And relationships always seem so happy from the outside vs. how they really are. People are attracted to positivity.
Being single is fine as long as you have a career that you want to pursue, but it is not ok if you want to be the Austin bomber or want to shoot kids at a High School. People that are overly judgmental and terrible in relationships are not in position to judge single people. Loners that are religious and or motivated are successful, but otherwise they either want to kill themselves or others as they see themselves as victims.
It's a sign of failure, it equates to you are undesirable, unlovable, unworthy, not good enough. Call it what you will. It mean others can't see your value. I agree with other it's only a sign of failure if you're single despite wanting a relationship.
Being a happy single means you love yourself enough to enjoy your own company. I think people who thinks they can’t be happy without a SO have low self steem and can’t stand their own company.
Because they think having a relationship is like one important thing in their life's checklist.
I personally don't feel that way and being single allows me to achieve more important things, and until I get them, I'm not interested in being with someone yet.
Because many if not most (I haven't seen any surveys) people want a relationship so not being able to secure one is a form of failure. I'm single myself so I'm not judging, you likely have other things to be proud of. You should work on it though instead of lying to oneself.
