Are you guys happy being single more being in a relationship? I have personally never been in one, so my answer will be way different from yours.

I've never been happier without a woman. From age 16 through the second half of my 20s, I always had a girlfriend.
I went through a major life change after I was 26 because I began a professional, career job that was foreign to my previous lifestyle. Without going into reasons why, I gained almost 50 lbs by my early 30s. I sort of hated myself and didn't want the kind of girlfriend who would want me. So I basically had about a 5 year dry spell. I was miserable.
When I was 34, I pulled myself together, lost weight, and got back in good shape. I started dating again. Woo Hoo!!!
I lived with one woman for a while. That one was a mistake. Then I lived with another woman for over a year. I was 37 and she was 31. She was amazing. I actually loved her with my heart and soul and she loved me. But being lifelong partners wasn't in the cards. We wound up splitting for reasons that are complicated but didn't have anything to do with anybody cheating or doing anything wrong.
I met my future wife when I was 40 and married her when I was 42. We've been happily married for almost 25 years.
I wouldn't be happy without a woman. Male friends would be no substitute.
Damm I'm the opposite I been single still and no woman in sight. I have been lonely and get sad sometimes but your point is interesting.
At some points in your life, you may decide that you don't want to be in a relationship for awhile. Given the opportunity for hookups, it's not entirely unreasonable for some guys.
And there are some guys who just don't want a relationship, period. It's their life and up to them.
Yeah, I can see that. You may wanna make money or take care of yourself.
Both men and women are happier without each other when in the wrong kind of relationship generally. But both are also much happier when in the right relationship. Life experience teaches you such things if you’re balanced enough.
Yeah, that does depend on the relationship between them two also.
Men aren't happy with our without women. They should just be gay. Most men are anyway
Your right about that lol
@Uptowngirl88
It's not gay with the homies lol
Right and it's really not to put down men I just noticed they really don't like women's emotions at all. They can't be with or without them. So honestly men should probably be with transgenders. They have masculine emotions, you can't get them pregnant , and men love bring around each other vs women

I think mgtow was started by some
men who got badly burned in a divorce. They focus on all the ways they are vulnerable to women in the legal system and their solution is to avoid any legally binding entanglement with women. Unfortunately, I think they drag a lot of young men into cynicism when a simple warning (be smart, consider a prenup so both parties can settle on what happens if there is a break-up instead of letting a judge decide, etc.) would suffice. Having been badly burned in a divorce myself, I can understand their concerns to a point, but I decided a better approach was to be smarter about the woman I would choose next time and not to give up on finding love. Is there a risk in this? Yes, but on the other hand there is also a risk of living a bitter life alone.
Hehe yeah the well maybe not 90% but in my experience 4/5 will not make it any better probably worse. But I'm with 5 now so it's way better than being single definitely. Being single isn't bad but it's just not as much without a partner especially a good partner yknow?
I have NO animosity or negativity towards women , but I am one for the rarer minority of men , that is single by choice. My former marriage took it's toll on me , and I am the type of person that has little need for people and prefer own company. Also I am a single dad , so that means staying single , like it or not. It is much more women that have turned their backs on men , than vice versa , most single women choose to be man free.
Some men just do not wish to have a close personal relationship with a woman at this particular moment this is not set in stone it depends if they meet someone they feel they are compatible with, all these men have done is performed a risk/benefit analysis and decided that marriage/family life is not for them.
Women see this and immediately see resources they could use walking away, and then start with the shaming language and abuse.
Rather be single, there are women that just like to have sex, I don’t need to be married, too much b/s.
I can say that I'm happier without the MODERNISED WESTERN woman.
depends on expectations. If you pursue/want to be in a relationship, it sucks. If you okey with the idea itself, it is great.
Its either or, no bs without, but no sex either, so take your pick
I don't think that is true.
Yeah, me either. I think it's just a sham
