but would you rather die earlier, or live longer being miserable?
Proverbs 21:9?
In any case, it doesn't have to be one or the other (or so we rather desperately hope). There are (somewhat) normal, (mostly) faithful, and (reasonably) attractive people out there, because otherwise there'd be no stories in the local paper about those diamond wedding anniversaries.
Man, high BP in your 40s! Take care of yourself, man. Hit that gym and get in shape!
Some of us just have high BP for no reason. I'm low in weight, work out, eat super healthy, rarely drink and don't smoke. Without meds mine rockets up 200/113.

BEST POST addressing the general topic of: if (approx.) 50% of marriages end in divorce, why marry?
Sounds like you just need to lighten up, relax, insert some mirth in your life and not be so rigid. Nothing turns either men or women off like an instantly serious date. Early on people want fun shared experiences and laughter. My date Friday went 2 hrs and it felt like 8, there was no flow; she was so serious, it was like an interview. Saturday, the date went 4 hrs but we thought it was more like two. We only had a couple of beers each because we were just talking and laughing at each other's stories all night. That was fun. Not coincidentally, I'm seeing date #2 again Friday.
Being able to have "fun" with someone (for me) requires one of 2 situations:
1. We are among common friends and have not considered dating, or
2. We are alone on a date, but have already gotten to know each other.
I am not an extrovert by nature, so I don't really "loosen up" around complete strangers. I suppose that's another reason dating just isn't for me.
Just another misogynist rant from some dude who actually believes (whether he knows it or not) that superman is a she, robbing men of their vitality and virility with their snarky ways and that men retire from the battlefield voluntarily Ăn protest (when, in fact, they have been beaten). Both messages come through in the same sad tone.

Nice Bible reference; yes that's it exactly. Also Proverbs 12:4. As for the people you mention, "(somewhat) normal" is fine, never bought in to society's definition of normal. "(reasonably) attractive"; I assume you are referring to physical features, which really don't matter to me. "(mostly) faithful"; That one is the dealbreaker for me. One is either faithful, or unfaithful. I have always been 100% faithful, and I cannot bear a partner who isn't. (see my earlier posts in this thread). Trying to find that in this world is like looking for a piece of straw in a needlestack: every failure is painful, and success is near impossible.
I never lost interest in women. I am married but if I was single I would simply be a lot more choosy in who I date and what I am willing to put up with, or what I expect from her.
A lot if it would have to do with her attitude and outlook in life

That's what I was thinking too.... in your 20's a I think a dude sometimes gets a little desperate for a lack on another way of putting it.
I'm in my 40's and now, if I were out there, I'd be much more driving the ship, so to speak, I haven't got time for drama and don't want any period.
