Who is happier being single? Men or women?

Question

LogicBomber · Accepted Answer

Well, GENERALLY SPEAKING <-- this is here for the retards who will say "NOT ALL".

... women act happier because they hang out with their female friends and pick and choose what cock they ride at any given time. But that only lasts while they are young and society bends over to help them through life. After 30 when they start to expire and looks don't get them through life anymore... they start becoming sad and pathetic. Going on dating sites desperately looking for "a good man" to "love them for who they are"... which men generally don't want any part of because nothing is more pathetic than a middle-aged, dumpy, overused, mentally fucked-up female. So they eventually get cats and become bitter and angry and start joining groups like feminism.

Men are usually happier in the long haul because as much as not getting sex may depress us during horny times, if we have the ability to get pussy without attachment... A male without a female controlling him will be more successful, have more freedom, and be more of who he really is. He will have more friends and generally be happier.

There has never been a very successful male who got there while with a female. Women generally think men's ideas are stupid, won't let them take risks, etc.
So while single women are traveling the world filling their experience bank (and vagina)... single males are becoming successful.

I have a feeling there is a curve where men will gradually find it easier to be single as their hormones decrease and women will find it gradually harder to be single as their biological clock runs out. So it will likely depend on how old someone is.

In general its really tied to the individual but i do have the impression men have a stronger desire for sex and girls a stronger desire for romance that makes being single a bit easier for men.

These replies... good grief. So glad to see everyone's keeping an open mind towards others opinions! Lol
If a woman says they're happier single, the men downvote her. If a guy says men are happier single, they get downvoted!

Realistically? I think it comes down to the individual, NOT gender. I'm a female that's legitimately happy single, yet I've met and spoken with other single women younger and older that are miserable alone.

Same concept goes with men. Some people are just naturally happy not in a relationship! Gender plays no part.

Mickey9999 · Accepted Answer

Cougar? No. In fact I don’t normally date all that younger than myself. But I must admit that the more I get used to the single dating thing, the more varying my age limits become. Just because 20-something men hit on me, doesn’t mean I’m gonna actually date or fuck one... a little too close to my children’s ages. My point is that you’re saying that women just automatically become unattractive at a specific age and that’s simply not true. But as far are your question, I would say 34-58

Iwant2kno · Accepted Answer

I can’t speak for the rest of the women, but I think women cope easily with the idea of being single, I don’t think women mind unless they are reaching a certain age in which is expected of them to be in a relationship by society or family. Men on the other hand always give me the vibe that they have a hard time coping with being single, some men see it as a form of failure. This may not apply to all men, but the majority I’ve come across have that attitude in common.

Men. Women need connection more.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I think men are happier being single but I'm not sure.

Miristheiss · Answer

I'll say this.
Not in every case... but on a macro level... overall, men are just happier period.

Men don't have the propensity to just worry and worry all the time, even when everything is ok. I think women just worry all the time and it is in their nature to not be "content"

Men tend to be more chill and content more often and compartmentalize their lives. If there is an issue that calls for some "worry" they just worry for a bit and then shelf that issue when they need to deal with something else or go home for the day. They don't just worry and worry 24/7.

Psynax · Answer

If we narrow it down to one thing it would be "interest". Every human has a different degree of interest depending on what it is.

Some are really interested in relationship and commitment which tend to make them need it. Therefore a relationship would most definitely be in their favor. Whilst vice versa, less interest would cause the person better being off as single.

Female or male, gender doesn't conclude their choice of preference. But I feel there's more pressure for a male to find a partner from society. A man who's single views as a "loser" while women are viewed as "waiting for the right one".

So who's happiest being single? The one who cares less about being in a relationship.

Alice2398 · Answer

I'd say men and before a keyboard warrior, incel creams his kickers I say this because most women naturally prefer companionship whilst men on the other hand can deal better without being in a relationship as long as sex is still a option for them.

FatherJack · Answer

Depends on the person more than anything. Women have some key advantages over men , closer own gender friendships , decent support networks of all gender , single men often truly stand alone in life , and also having a typically much lower sex drive than men is an advantage. Being rid of my formerly high Male Curse is a huge blessing !! Personally I'm a single dad , and never intend to even date again , the marriage I ended and also some past relationships prior to that have proven I am happier single , also , being honest , single dads do not really have any dating options anyway.

DarkAngel1619 · Answer

I think men enjoy being single because they can screw as many girls as they want. Woman on the other hand, if they can cope with being single enjoy it because they are free to do whatever they want and not have someone control their every move

magicInABox · Answer

I've seen both sides wanting to be with each other. I would like to say that being independent, or financially free, or on my own, being single ARE GREAT *BUT*

the truth is that i don't feel happier per say, maybe for like a short while, but then i end up thinking about past relationships or the things girls did to make me smile and stuff.

If i'm honest... do i really need a women, maybe not... BUT I SURE DO WANT TO GROW OLD WITH A GIRL I LOVE.

laurenok · Answer

Women, because especially attractive ones like myself don’t find it very difficult to get in a relationship so we’re not really missing out on anything. Men are kinda desperate (search Elliot Rodger ok YouTube) and get rejected a lot by girls if they are ugly or short etc so it may give them an inferiority complex and they tend to make a bigger deal about it.

BluesheepOwl · Answer

I think women because we aren't worried about having sex every 5 seconds lol guys make such a huge deal about sex. We are fine being single and guys who are single are obsessing about needing sex.

Dbwkdncnf · Answer

Women.

Men find it tougher to deal with because of all the work that they have to put in to getting to the know the person. Most of the time, for men, even if they come forward as their genuine selves, we will still get shot down. Women don't have to deal with this because of plausible deniability.

Women can cope with this better because they know, deep down, they don't have to make many efforts. Well, definitely not as much as a man does, initially.

Dsg1193 · Answer

I don’t want to generalize but I believe it depends on who you ask. For the most part, I’ve seen men cope better with being single. I feel women prefer a deeper connection and the men I’ve met are content with having something casual until something better comes along.

Anonymous · Answer

Fact is, No one wants to be single. You should have added more info.. Like.. Happy being single after breakup? Coz people lose interest in relationships when they have painful breakup and they like to be single. People who never been in relationship before aren't happier ones. Its understandable that women happier being single coz they can talk to lot of guys and still be single but it's tough for guys. because guys pleasure lies in relationship (in other words sex) , women (most) pleasure lies in laughs, taking care of their beauty, foods which they can get being single.

HereIbe · Answer

Ask a man when women are watching, and he'll say "men". Ask a woman when men are watching, and she'll say "women". Ask a man when there are only men, and he'll high-five and shout "MEN!". Ask a woman when there are only women, and she'll whine and bitch about how there are no good men.

StephenCF · Answer

I’d have to say women because if I said men, that would be saying that I’m happy being single (which I’m not).

Besides, men are hunters; when women are single (especially when attractive), they’ll know there’s a thousand or more doors open for them whenever they’re ready

Anonymous · Answer

I am approaching 31. Just one year ago, I didn't mind being single. But of late, especially from past 4-5 months, I have been feeling very lonely. I think it is time to get married.
It may very from person to person (rather man to man). But I think at certain age, one starts feeling lonely. In my case, this age is 30.

DDpsy · Answer

Men. Men have very few needs to satisfy when they stop giving a shit and not looking for a partner. It's a less stressful, more productive and healthier lifestyle at half the price. It can be really freeing when you are in that mode but unfortunately it does not last long and everything appears pointless after a while because fuck it , It is...

TonyMetal86 · Answer

Men of course since they never want to be in a relationship, they keep jumping from a woman to another while the majority of women wants serious relationahips and marriage.

Anonymous · Answer

I believe woman. We naturally deal with our feelings and usually have a support system to vent to. Men I believe need out feminine essence to heal and be vulnerable. Woman need men too but I a different way.

StellarDrift · Answer

Doesn't matter. Some days you want a relationship, but that really stems from the need to have social bonds. Being single, sometimes I think a relationship would be cool, then I get drained from being around people all day and realize I value some time of the day for myself. Sleep is the best part of my day really. Everyone's asleep and nobody is around to drive me nuts.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on which aspect of being single. If we are talking about sex, women handle it better, because any women can have sex at any given time if she wants to. But women handle the lack of love and similar emotions a lot harder. While men tend to handle the lack of emotions easily, but they struggle with the lack of sex and physical touch.

Women can handle being single better than men, although they may face societal pressure to get married...

Paultrippinthefout · Answer

Men obviously do better. Many men are single their entire lives. If you think women are more prone to be alonenor do better, it’s only because they are choosing it, many single men aren’t choosing that. But we deal with it more than women, and have become better st it. Many women are very codependent

Furuok · Answer

Nobody wins this! We create our own happiness. Women scare me, they are the greatest thing on earth. They are more fragile than glass. Learning how to live without one was an emotional rollercoaster. One day my fantasy girl, stared me in the eyes, said, "Let go! " and I did. I wish we could have stayed friends.

I'm not sure Women I think have better socialization, but I know they can't stand being single... most of them. Men function better alone, but don't socialize as well.

bill_towers · Answer

Men. Women are more dependant on other people. It's not Bad, it's just reality.

Anonymous · Answer

Single women can easily choose when to stop being single, they get constant offers from both shit and good quality men.

Single men are told they should keep shut and feel ashamed of wanting anything else but friendship, that if they're not getting a girlfriend is because they're lazy scumbags who didn't self improve and loved themselves enough no matter how false that is.

I seem to remember a stufmdy that the happiest people in the UK are women, 2 years after becoming a widow!!! So, women. With all the money of their dead husband is the answer

taleswapper · Answer

In general, men. Women are more social. But as usual, it's dangerous to generalize. The fact that men may be mostly more comfortable doesn't help in judging any particular person's comfort level.

I dont actually know, both seems to be obsessed with it; ill never understand it though, why have genuine human connection when you can not have to share your plate with someone who said they werent hungry a minute ago! :D

LinkxPeach · Answer

Tbh, this question really would had been better if it’s had a poll to easily answer the question for me. Anyway, I’d say women. Because men don’t make a big deal about being single, and have fun being single.

Sweatyotterr · Answer

ryryryan · Answer

In general, men need an active sex life to be happy, and women need an active commitment. This is my best understanding of the main difference between men and women.

james0000 · Answer

I think women until around 35 and up. Then the odds turn against her and she has to cope with reality that her looks will fade and guys will lose interest.

luciusmalfoy1 · Answer

Men. Women just hurt, control and manipulate men. Modern women do not offer anything to men other than sex, which is sad, but it means that guys don’t benefit from being in a relationship... considering how easily girls open their legs now.

Lance1965 · Answer

Men. Especially older men that have already been through marriage and divorce.

goodlongman · Answer

Women and men both don't like being single, we are created for relationship…but…with that said I think women tend to stay single longer

Anonymous · Answer

It depends if it’s by choice or not. For people who chose it they are fine. Generally women choose it while men do not. And I think even when it’s chosen, women’s assets benefits them more than men in the same situation.
