33 and single, no kids...is something wrong with me?

i'm 39 and never been married.

I don't see the point in marriage unless you have kids.

i mean why bring the church and government into your life unless necessary.

i'm not a big fan of legal contracts of anysort.

right on.. the illusion is failing.. marriage and kids = what you were SUPPOSE to do.. what we have been conditioned to believe is the thing to do..

im 28.. refuse to get married, and will NOT have kids

Being single is great for a while but as you get older and look back in a "what if" sort of way... you might regret not having someone hog half the bed, or little brats looking up to you and asking all sorts of questions, or having someone grow old with you and be your best friend, partner, lover and supporter.

A friend asked me a while back, "then what's your purpose for living, who are you living for and why do you make the effort to do better for yourself?"

the time to have kids or seek a partner is limited. your looks could fade, your health could fade and you only have right now to do this.

Think of yourself at 66...now look back at a life of no love, no kids and no partner. how do you feel about that?

Definitely not ! I think it's the best choice I've made

Most of my married friends (if I ever get to see them) look like they're ready to kill themselves in a cycle of routine

could have married when I was 26, but didnt really see it as any benefit to me other than a legally binding contract that has no terms but definite financial consequences if the contract is broken

what schmuck would sign this?

you have one kid, two...then you're pretty much expendable...the woman could pretty much just take off and you'll still have to pay her regardless, and this I've seen happen a few times and it appears to be a cruel punishment

probably most importantly, what always bothered me the most about a girlfriend or a 'serious relationship' is that I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy other women unless I cheated, which kind of counters the whole idea anyways

Life's pretty exciting for me...I can do what I want and go anywhere I want, and If I want female company, I can have that too, and someone different each time, and really the less committed you are to relationships the more women want you..it's really fucked up

lastly, I couldn't bear having a kid and offering it to the altar of the NWo by shipping the kid to daycare

how can any parent counter this and work a job at the same time, unless you're rich? no thanks

so really, why would a man choose to get married when you have hot little 21 year olds about that just want to party if you're nice to them?

someone enlighten me on the benefits, please

LOL this topic is cracking me up,so women are greedy b***ches who are sluts well get used to it guys YOU made them this way,thats what you want and thats what you get,the woman who's willing to work with you,build with you ,play with you,take care of you,love you,stay with you through thick and thin,raise your children,look to you for guidance and support,and cleave to you are still around but they don't look like porn stars or act like them and the reality is YOU guys don't want them,so they are left with what, the choice of being alone or changing into what men want.

OP you know exactly why your still single,you just don't want to face it,several times in this thread you have stated why marry/love someone when you have to watch them die someday?I'm sorry you lost your mother,death will take each of us sooner or later and it's what we leave behind that makes our lives bearable and joyful.I'm sure she was proud to have given birth to you and watched you grow,every book she read you,story she told you,hugs,kissed booboos,words of encourgement defined a part of her life and keeps her living on in the memorys of those she left behind and the lives she touched.She would want you to be happy in whatever you choose,one way or another just your being here and alive has touched and changed the universe we all live in if you decide to have children to make that mark a little more solid or not is totally up to you,as she continues to mark the world by having you.

You ever think this NWO thing has you all conditioned to think it's best to be "free". Derp..."live for one". Break apart families/communities and bonds with others.

Sad you may never have the loving relationship some do experience, really. But hey, to each his own.

it's just ...you haven't met HER yet! And kids...oh man,one day you are gonna love that little kid more than you love yourself,trust me...
nothing is wrong with you,nothing.you are just not there yet,it's ok.

I'm married for over 20 years now, been with my wife for over 25. I would NOT trade it for the world. There is nothing better than knowing there is always someone there to have your back, help you through the hard times, to wake up to and to share your life with. Life is a struggle but when you have someone you love and trust by your side it makes it all the more worth while. I've seen what is out there in the single scene and maybe I am just lucky, because what I found is far and few between.

Couple that with the ability to raise your children (We have 2 of our own), see them grow into wonderful human beings, and become their own person is so special. When they start sharing what they have been taught, values, etc it makes it all the more enjoyable knowing you have had a positive impact on their lives.

I have single friends who go out and party every night, complain about their relationships, etc. It's because they are looking for the "perfect" partner when in fact, they themselves are SO FAR from perfect. I'm not rich, not someone who would be eyed by every woman out there and more, but the fact I have been a gentleman and treat my wife with the utmost of respect has kept our marriage alive and well. There are too many egotistical, self-centered people in this world today and with so many hangups it sickens me. Marriage is the greatest union their is....once you get over yourself!

You speak evidence of your lack of character and values. Please remain single.

I'm in my late 20s and I'll probably be single for the rest of my life. I've never dated or had any interest to date. Most women I've dealt with have been very shallow, materialistic, and petty. I just don't see the point. I'm comfortable on my own and I could care less if that means there is something wrong with me.
