I heard half of Canadians over 18 are single? What are your thoughts about it?

[jennifer_bloom]

I know successful woman who always have swarms of guys around them but are still single while nearly 40 years. My ex wanted to marry the first woman he ever dated but we never married.

[Friendlybro79]

I think half the people out there make 50% of the 100% it takes to survive, so it's probably tough to date when you need to work all the time because it takes twice as long to save half as much as past generations to buy the same things. This equates to people needing to take work more seriously than relationships if they want to have a dollar to their names. I have no idea if I'm correct but it's something that I feel could be one of the possible many reasons.

[razelove]

Hmm, sounds like I need to flirt with more Canadians. My second thought would be a question, are they single because of lack of options, or because they're chasing career options more? Granted that would vary from person to person, but if the numbers are that high there has to be an overall trend.

[shaysh87]

The thing about rich successful modern women is thay vast majority of them dont need marriage. In fact they might have so many assets that they dont want to get married because they dont want to share their assets in case of a divorce. Successful women dont tend to be desperate for marriage but companionship and romance. You might find poorer women tend to be more desperate for marriage

[jennifer_bloom]

My mom says some woman need people to sleep with so always have boyfriends.

[shaysh87]

@jennifer_bloom

Everyone wants to feel loved. Everyone needs companionship. But rich women , in particular , dont tend to need marriage as much as poor women

[shaysh87]

And if theyre that rich, they probably work a lot too which leaves little time for dating

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m saying that some woman date because they want physical intimacy and are addicted to it.

[razelove]

Everyone wants attention and intimacy, men, women, even those who tag themselves as asexuals.

[hi_it_is_me123]

At least you guys are not in unhappy marriages. Majority of my cousins, relatives etc are in unhappy marriages due to backwarded culture that harm both men and women. When I see them, i want to be a carreer woman who go monk lol

[Bubbles45]

Isn't that kind of the standard nowadays? Younger people tend not to stick with relationships as much as older people do. Newer generations in general are becoming less socially adapt to relationships.

It may be a thing in Canada, but also everywhere else in the world I believe.

[xazo54]

Its because Womens education and beauty increase they dont need a man. this is why feminism needs to be banned and women need all their education makeup seized.

[AviatorTom]

I'm surprised it's only half of people above 18 who are single in Canada, since average marrying age for people throughout the world is mid-late twenties and early thirties, see the map.

Average age of first marriage at Different Countries

[LogicBomber]

Makes sense. A females “success” is irrelevant to her being relationship material.
Most women are very entitled and have insane expectations because of the illusion of choice, while not actually bringing anything to the table aside from sex.
Men are tied of the entitlement, shit tests, games, etc.
Most women will practically stop having sex once married, unless they are using it as a reward for good behaviour.
So for men, it makes more sense to just hook up with the easy ones and avoid all the nonsense.

[mantelk]

People aren't marriage material anymore. Neither men or women. For the sake of partying and sex and drugs people forsake their future. As a man in Canada I prefer being single than dating some of these girls who have done unspeakable things with like 10 guys. I just dont have respect for them enough to want to love them. Perhaps they feel dame way.

[Friendlybro79]

For every unspeakable thing there were those ten guys that did the same thing... Do you respect those guys?

[yofuknutz]

^^^ I'm sure he doesn't

[mantelk]

@Friendlybro79 No I don't respect those guys. I also have the same kinds of lusts but it's very ugly. I can't actually do these things to a real girl. It doesn't feel right. The main reason I don't respect those guys because I am capable of the same thing but I don't do it. Just like I don't smoke crack, maybe crack is fun. But it's not the right responsible thing to do.

[mantelk]

@Friendlybro79 I have never had a sister and I don't have a daughter but I am aware these girls are sisters and daughters to people. It is ok to have fun and do things but to actually treat a girl like a whore like many of them seem to like nowadays is just wrong. If you like someone and they are kinky and you have fun, nothing wrong with that. But to actually play girls and use them like this well, let's just say I have a different definition of what a man is than most people. A real man doesn't abuse women like this. They are sick. Perverted.

[mantelk]

@Friendlybro79 A real man to me is one that could sustain a relationship with one or few women and is capable of love. Having sex with many girls is not something I respect. Anybody can do that if they actually try to be manipulative. Guys that can't think there is something wrong with them. No my brother, there is something right with you. Your heart is in the right place. The hook up culture and addiction to sex that we have has completely destroyed our potential for love. Most of us don't even know what it is. It's just compulsiveness. Bring some awareness into your lives

[Friendlybro79]

@mantelk I appreciate your answers and I challenge you to recognize your viewpoint is looking through a very tiny lense.

You're generalizing your beliefs onto almost all people and it isn't true. I'm not trying to argue with you, but I am here to say there are plenty of good men and women out there. TV shows and the news are so drawn to the stuff you're referring to that it never mentions the good that is here in front of us everyday.

If you have faith in anything remember none of us are perfect but many of us are very good and loving. Getting sucked into everyone is bad and not worthy is a depressing and lonely place to be. Challenge yourself to look for good in the world. Many of us are now hardwired to see negative only. Try to think better and you will see better. Good luck.

[DarkWinterNights]

It goes a lot further than that. About 30% of men from 18-30 in the US are virgins. Divorce rates are plummeting at the same rate as marriages. There are going to be a whole lot of millennials and Gen z who end up in nursing homes all alone with no one to care about them.

[Reaper1985]

In western culture most laws regarding relationships and/or parenthood are outdated and make it a bad deal for males. So less are opting to be in long term relationships and/or have children once they hear how badly other males are ruined by the courts.

[Guardian45]

I'm NOT surprised. The world is pretty Fed up now. Pandemic, wars, politics, covidiots, dumptards. It's hard NOT to be single & depressed!

[Chiarac2003]

I’m living in Canada but I’m Italian born and I’m not single. Most my friends aren’t… there not married yet but not single

[yofuknutz]

Your Italian what are you kidding me you should be eating great food and gets a deep hard cock every night no way you should be single.

[Jamie05rhs]

@yofuknutz 🤣🤣🤣

[yofuknutz]

I know it sounds funny but I speak the truth

[zagor]

I think a lot of people up there don't bother to get married. My cousin up there had four kids with a girl but they never got married. And a Canuck I worked with had been with the same girl for 22 years but again never bothered to get married.

[BCRanger10]

A LOT of people over 18 are single. Not just in Canada.

[Mess96]

Including me

[Anonymous]

A lot of women are dmged and dont feel like they should be loved. Guilty consciences

[mantelk]

They are damaged because they choose players and friendzone the good men and after they are used and abused they realize their mistake but by then maybe too late

[Opinion Owner]

@mantelk hold up. Players aren't bad. What else can you be a fan. Are you a fan?

[mantelk]

Fan? What does that even mean. My brother I am stronger than you, I am more handsome than you and I have a bigger dick than you. And players are trash and so are you

[Opinion Owner]

@mantelk so you are islam?

[Friendlybro79]

a lot of guys are imbeciles and don't have the wherewithal to treat someone nice enough to earn a solid relationship because of their own narcissistic personalites.

[mantelk]

No not at all.

[Opinion Owner]

@mantelk are yiu black?

[yofuknutz]

^^^nikka pullease!

[mantelk]

No I am Persian. I live in Canada. a lot of you guys who have fallen into the trap of hookups and being players haven't been in real relationships with someone you care about. You are too taken by pornography. I watch porn too and I jerk off with it. But I have not lost my dignity enough to actually play games to attract girls like that and to do these things to them. Maybe I should start man. It doesn't pay to be a decent person anymore. In such backwards societies the phrase "ladies and gentlemen" doesn't make sense anymore. It's the age of pimps and whores. People have forsaken all responsibility. I am trying not to sell my soul to gain the world. Money, power, fame, lust, these things, if you have the awareness are cancers for your own soul. You think you are not being damaged in the process of treating these easy girls like sluts but you are and on a very deep level.

[Opinion Owner]

@mantelk show your face

[yofuknutz]

Iran?

[Baredog69]

Better than being American that's 50% divorced

[Agagagagaga]

She’s a Canadian talking about Canadians.

But nice attempt at a “what about you.”

[yofuknutz]

Betta American and divorce then a pussy whipped 🇨🇦 Canadian beta boy with NO balls!

[Baredog69]

They sure enough in the balls to shut the cities down the transportation and everything else, before we even had the balls to get out the gate. But it's typical in today's environment the United States is a follower not a leader anymore at least for the last year and a half we haven't been

[yofuknutz]

For what I was told it was started by an American

[boobliker]

stay single as long as poss

[moonpie89]

Haha sounds possible

[Anonymous]

Half of Canadians are inbred.

[red_knight]

I wish

[UpdateGloomyNights_]

Really? isn't ok
