Single Men Are Happy Too

Heavy_Consequence441 · 2025-06-14T18:36:54+00:00

Lol the females parading around being childfree and single are not happy. If they were happy they'd just stfu and enjoy their lives.

Never being happier than when i'm single! Weird things is that I'm happy alone, when i'm happy I have a life full of Joy and I do a lot of cool stuff... And that means that I attract women a lot more, and this is nice for me, but as soon as I "settle" for one of those women I start to fade away... It took me many years to understand than I want to share some of my life with women, but I don't want to be in the jail of relationship anymore

I think the difference is that women like that view all men as a burden. And feel like announcing their detachment from men is a invocation that other women should synergize with to support their decision.

While men typically voice their concerns in a way that relates to, yeah I'd love to win the lottery but it's so likely to lose that you're literally better off not playing. It doesn't discredit women in the same way, and kind of takes a jab at his own luck, rather than to say all women are bad.

When women get offended even when the expressions are notably different, it looks more like an insecurity than anything. What is so upsetting about a man living respectfully without you? Should every man be obligated to share himself with a woman or something?

Either that, or they feel like escaping "unpaid labor" is liberating, but emotional and financial sanctity... Isn't. Which seems contradictory coming from a feminist.

Most of these are just propaganda, and a lot of it is simply lies. Feminists constantly try to stir society like a roulette machine, even when they know it will likely end badly for everyone involved, except the elites/house. Also no men should ever stay in a relationship for a second, if there is any effect of an "ex BF".

I’m a single guy who doesn’t take BS from women and has always kept respectful communication with those who respect me. I don’t believe being single is ideal. What does sound good is being with a thoughtful, like-minded woman while still having space for personal time. But the chances of finding someone like that, and building a family with her are slim these days. And even if you somehow find “the one,” all you’re doing is taking a loaded gun from the government and handing it to your wife with the current laws in most of the world.

I also really don’t like media outlets or corporate mouthpieces telling me “it’s okay to be alone.” I was alone for literally years. It wasn’t unbearable, but it definitely wasn’t a healthy or fulfilling path. I also had to work too much, which only made it harder. Sure, being single can be fine, especially if you have enough money to shape your environment and options. But let’s not pretend that this is some ideal state for most people. I’m pessimistic about the direction society is heading.

It is funny how there are no aphorisms, like this

"No wife, no strife, happy life!" something like that

Mentally Stable, Independent Man

A mentally stable, independent man benefits less from marriage. Health and psychological benefits are minimal, as he already possesses the resources for self-regulation. Social recognition and tax advantages are situational, while the financial risks are significant, especially given women's propensity to divorce.

It's like the domestic cat, which is said to live better and longer than a wild cat. Male divorce victims are also counted among single men, which significantly lowers the average for unhappiness. A man who can cope well on his own and avoids unnecessary risks benefits little from marriage compared to a woman, especially given women's initiative to divorce (70%).

Women benefit from financial security (alimony), legal advantages (custody), and social stability. These benefits are more significant than for a self-employed man, who doesn't need this security.

As a rule, anyone who refers to it as being "childfree", as though children were some kind of plague or curse, is someone not overly concerned with happiness- just other people's opinions.

Are there upsides to choosing not to have kids? Of course. But "parenthood isn't for everyone" is one thing; this is just claiming "No, the way I choose to do things is better!".

I'm a person who would be happy with someone who is a good human being worth spending my life with, but coming from an unhappy marriage, it's refreshing coming to my own home to do things I want to do and like to do and know no one will judge me for the kind of entertainment I choose to consume, staying too late to watch movies/play games, not doing dishes the right way (lol) etc. Human beings long connection with others, but other people are often disappointing and hurt us and it's important that we find the happiness and inner peace within ourselves.

Confident_Ride2607 · 2025-06-15T11:24:15+00:00

The biggest pitfall of being a single guy is not being able to really have kids on your own unless you want to pay a lot of money to not have a woman in your life which would probably just amount to the same cost as a divorce anyway. Men are perfectly capable of cooking, cleaning, and maintaining their own house. I'd argue that it is substantially easier to be single. The less you have to rely on women the more control and autonomy that gives you over your own life. And that's how things should be too. The way society functions now is a fucking joke.

Actually i tend to encourage women who don’t want a marriage or family. Its not my responsibility to advise her of her error, that would be “mansplaining” and someday soon she will have to learn for herself that she has hit the wall. The time in her life to build a family and find a life partner has passed and maybe just maybe she will take accountability or go full femcel.

OK to be clear here: I am not dunking on other men who are in a relationship and/or married. If that works for you, then great. But the sad thing is that I see too many relatipnships where the women get told by their friends that their boyfriend is being 'problematic' for standing up for himself, or 'patriachal' for expecting her to bring something to the table. And so the women are told to play games with the guy or just plain leave him. The state of dating seems so messed up, I'm just very wary about it at the moment.

Hefty-Rip-5397 · 2025-06-18T20:21:56+00:00

If i could, I would go back and not be married.. if only id been taught by a parent 1. How to be ok, being by myself. And 2. That Men dont HAVE to marry and raise children to be happy and successful. But alas, mother died at 5 and father incarcerated at 12, so I was raised by Hollywood blockbusters and friends parents in a small Midwestern town. I graduated with 23 people. I was sold the idea that ALL good happy, successful men marry and have children... BOY OH BOY have I got a story for my younger self.

I always wanted to single and child-free, to able to please myself, come and go as I choose, do whatever I want when I want. Some rainy day woman would destroy all that. I've been told I'm selfish, but I don't see how. If I had a wife, or wasted my time on a "relationship" (God, I hate that word), and still lived the same way, then I would, indeed, be selfish. Those who accuse me of being selfish are the actual selfish ones, because they want me to live by their standards. But seeing as I'm a solo artist, I don't have a duty to care. Friends, blood family and pets get plenty of love from me. That's all I care about.

This. Stop saying that there's a male loneliness epidemic. Half of US the men are married. Another 20%-30% have GFs. Another 10% are fine being single.

Only a small minority of mostly young men are struggling and that will change once they hit their prime in the 30s.

If you are one of those young men - be patient. Roles flip in the 30s and your value on the dating market only goes up with age, while women's goes down. You'll have more options than you can fit in your schedule. Just focus on yourselves, excercise, become good at what you do, make money, have fun with friends and spend time with your family.

The women will come out of the woodwork, the problem is most of them will have too much baggage / kids / toxicity at that age, so you'll probably end up dating younger. And THAT'S where the fake "male loneliness epidemic" comes from - men in their prime dating younger women and leaving less for the young men. They age, date younger women and the cycle repeats.

Those idiots really doesn't understand that, society expects something from everybody. No matter what you do. Not only in marriage, long before that. Your parents were questioned and pressured about their marital status when you were just a vitamin on an orange pulp. After the ceremony ended -which mostly shaped by people's expectation from that particular reception and from each family, my brother-in-law couldn't wear a light colored suit because for some reason it was ''inappropriate''- your parents were pressured over YOU. ''When will you have a child? Isn't it the right time? Are you guys thinking about it?'' Then here comes you - and if you are a single child, dread continues. ''When will you have a second child? It's a shame that kid will grow up not knowing what a sibling love is... yada yada.'' Perfect little boy. Soon to be mutulated by his very own parents because, we living in a society. Your circumcision and (if you are living in middle-eastern country) ceremony leading up to that, is also thoroughly questioned. When you grow up, you will be pressured by your parents in the name of ''coming out of your shell'' and ''be more independent.'' So evidently, you will be holding part-time jobs in local cafe or technician in summers - long before your career to start. A boy can't live in his ''parents' house'' and shouldn't be encouraged to. If you are single long enough, your sexuality is in question (which almost never the case with women, I will die in this hill) and when you get a girl - that's the moment you will be officially entering your parents' path of toxic circle of social pressure. Good luck fighting that.

But good actual luck fighting feminists. Who are making everything about themselves in all turns of life. You actually have more answers to their brain-rot theses than questions. Believe that.

Except this sub, almost all subs are feminist dominated. Even Ask men sub has majority feminist man. Reddit is a cesspool.

No one, woman or otherwise, has called you toxic or subversive for being single, buddy.
