Same here. That said, it would have to be a pretty nice lady to get me to get married or in a long term relationship again.
Just tired of the games that many of them play and not willing to put up with it. Lets face it, sex is fun and being with someone you like and hopefully love is better but at what cost?
This "women's lib" crap that popped up in the 60's was nice for a while but now the ladies are realizing that they usually cannot have everything and do it all alone. By their mid-30's they wake up and realize that "OMG I have wasted my child bearing years and now its almost over" and go into a frenzy.
Hope to find someone to share life with, but if not then going to enjoy it as much as possible on my own.
EDIT, have to say that a large part of why I feel this way is what happened with my Father. He was married three times, my Mother being the second wife. The last years of his life were an absolute hell as the woman he ended up was an absolute beyotch.
He married her when they were both in their 40's as she was his childhood sweetheart. Even on his death bed where he changed his will to add my sister to the executors, his wife with-held food to him for two weeks to force him to change the will back to its previous state. I asked him before he passed why he put up with it and he finally confided to me that he was afraid of being alone, especially in his final days. I assured him that as long as his kids were alive that he would never be alone, but it was too late to help him. Its not too late to learn from this and hope I have.
