Search Results: he says forever

I'm not referring to someone trying to get in a relationship and failing constantly. I'm referring to staying single on purpose out of a desire/feeling to - is it something that should be discouraged? Does it depend on the reasoning for wanting to stay single? If so, how?

I ask because...
- When someone asks a question about feeling like they're missing out on relationships/sex, people often console them with saying they 'aren't missing out on much' or something along the lines of that. If a younger person says they aren't interested, however, a common response is 'just wait, it'll happen'
- I think most people tend to look for long term relationships to settle in before a certain age.
- There is arguably societal pressure to have a relationship (and/or sexual experience) by a certain age, else being deemed a "loser" or equivalent. Hence, "forever alone" memes, "30 year old virgin," crazy cat lady jokes, etc.

For reference, while I'm single now, I have been in various relationships before. This is just a stray 'shower thought' I'm curious on. This isn't meant to be a personal-advice question.

Reason I ask is many young ladies under 25 believe marriage is just a paper and not important any more as once was in 1950s for example. Where woman depended on male counterpart heavily. Today they say thanks to modernized science and laws woman have no need. Is this true? Because I thought we got married as a moral structure of a family unit. To show importance of relationship between two families getting to know one another. Because as we know once you are in relationship with someone and children come into play. Weather You're married or not. End oft the day you are linked by blood forever. So you might as well get married and get the blessing. No?
