All three types of men are different, but they share a few common traits. Those are the traits I outlined in my post.
Also, did you not read what I wrote earlier?

You ignore women when they say anything to you? How do you function in society if you ignore 50% of the population? If, say, a women asks for the time or asks you to hold the elevator, how do you respond? Do you have a job, and if so, do women work there? What about waitresses (predominantly women)... how do you order food in a restaurant?

Seriously... every time you try to defend yourself you are really helping to reinforce my position.

I don't need to talk to women to function in society as I was smart enough to get a job where there are no women and I believe I already covered how respond to women. I never cared about the opposing sides position, why would I we're all losers to you right?

Children, children, children.... Let's be a little nicer to each other. Otherwise, we're all a bunch of *unbelievably gross and offensive term removed*

Let me start off by saying that I do not agree with these other posters and their mentality of alienating and hating women. But living paycheck to paycheck actually has nothing to do with being single or married as many married people and families are in the same boat. That is the result of hardships, content or poor financial planning. Being single is not inherently lead to a miserable existence it's what people make out of it. The same as being married. Your economic theories are just theories.

Losers?..Nah...just immature, not only for your stance towards women..but for your crying need to explain yourself---why would you care about our opinions about your life choices?

I totally get it. I spent many years (15 to be exact)in NO relationship. Partly because I didn't trust myself after making big mistakes and mostly because I had two kids that I needed to give 100% of myself to. I remember someone at work saying "you don't have a boyfriend?" *looks me up and down* "what's wrong with you?" As if I couldn't manage to catch a boyfriend.

Look. Don't worry about what society and the media says is "normal". But I will say, as I slide down the slippery slope past age 50, it's great having a great man in my life. I am less resentful if I sleep in the guest room peacefully. He can sleep through a typhoon so I don't disturb him. As we have a houseguest right now, I take sleep aid every night. Anyway, I love the big goof and am so glad to have him with me when my grown kids have no time for me. We are enjoying growing old together and that's it. If you don't enjoy it then it's not for you. Love life. And be sure to live it.

Nah. If you live within your means and manage your money well, you don't have to be poor. I'm single, I own my own home, I have disposable income, and I do not live paycheck to paycheck. Having children with deadbeat fathers who can't or won't provide for them and being irresponsible with your money is what makes you poor- not being single.

Plenty of people have zero sexual desire, but that includes zero desire for self-fulfillment of sexual needs as well.
It is possible to enjoy masturbation without wanting to have sex.

I think a big reason is that some people have become so conditioned and indoctrinated in terms of thinking that they need to be in a relationship, get married, and have kids - that nothing else will sway them, and anybody going against that is crazy weird. They're judging you as if they know you better than you know yourself - lol.

They can't fathom that some people may not want that kind of life. Doesn't make them weird or anything.

Then you have people who are completely unhappy with their lives, relationships, and marriages but still like to think that they're better off than you are because at least they're not single.
