Me, most of my friends, most guys who live in this area in fact.
Gave up trying at 30, I always hated the "game" would rather push toothpicks under my fingernails than approach and absolutely refuse the sad sausage fest that is online dating three weeks of begging for attention (that's what it feels like) fir one platonic date that cost me $1100. That said I tried, I asked seven women out in my 20's they all said yes then ghosted me. I married the first women to ask me out, got used then dumped.
I wanted a family, instead I've spent 21 years completely alone.
Can't say forever as I'm still writing this so must be alive.. I think! But I was loving, romantic, kind considerate blah blah then had one too many relationships that didn't start (rejection didn't want what she described as too nice), two timer, because I wouldn't jump in bed with another because she had issues I wanted to help her resolve first, an ungrateful one.. took her on a romantic weekend there was nothing from her totally cold that last one I was 26 finally I'm ready again but look at my age I look at things differently now, but still lost a lot of years.
I gave up dating one day maybe forever. I was really serious about it. I was never going to go out with a girls again. The next day I met my future wife.
If in mine country marriage was not necessary , i would have chosen to be single not that i have gave up in love but i don't think relationship is for me and i have made for it. I am a huge shy kinda guy, so I can't even dare to look at the girl, can't even talk to them , and in my opinion Shy guys are considerd to be the turn off for the girls coz girls like confident guys not dumb guy like me... haha 😂
Yes, there are a few. Spinster is a name for a woman that does this, not sure what they call men who do this. They're really kind of in a mental state, you know.
Love and marriage, family, isn't about what you GET, it's about GIVING. Some people just never get there, and they should not marry, perhaps even date. For some, pets are the answer.

Sort of. Since women do not love me I am not expecting love. Not now and not anytime soon. It's like I am cursed. A situation, that stubbornly changes the same way like turning from poor to rich. For my day-to-day living it is convenient to not believe in love until I see it.
My plan was to stay single forever, but I feel that I was coerced into dating, and then marriage. My plan went awry. I live in regret. It was my fault. I live with it.

My uncle stayed single to look after my Grandparents. it was then too late to meet anyone, so he travelled all around the world, but on his own.
