Huh. I don't think so. This is my MINDSET ( which is what I have seen while growing up and still do ) to fight against my feelings and attraction towards women. I hope once the hormones settle down I would not get the urge to fall in love with any women. I just want to remain single. If these views about women is what it takes to be one one then so be it. But the bottomline is " I don't hate you or anyone". I may dislike particular person but it has nothing to do with gender.

Others keep saying things about it to get a reaction from you and apparantly they get a reaction so they continue on with the same topic the solution is to change the subject and quit reacting.

By the way, many people before you, in the present and those who will come after you have witnessed or will witness the same thing in their friends and families regarding "some" marriages yet they manage to get married, remain married and enjoy sharing their lives with the one they love.
I just laugh when they say it. LolThanks for the answer

Every post, it seems, is misogynist if the word "Women" gets thrown in it. And I know a few posters on CD forums who would trade in their two legs to get people banned or reported just for saying "women".

I don't think there's anything wrong with what the OP is saying. I'm in the same boat. I steer clear of women now-a-days. It just makes things easier in the long run. I do talk to some women at work, but that's entirely different. It's work, not a meet-up or a date center (date center?).

I suspect the same thing. Just because my views are different, just because I am not politically correct does not mean I hate someone.I would never apologize for having these views.

Well, if you want to be a bachelor all your life, that's cool.

If you want to justify being a bachelor because you claim women are gold diggers, then you're being sexist.

If you want to justify being a bachelor because of divorce rates and custody laws, then you're just being stupid.

If you want to use both arguments, then you're being sexist, stupid and using confirmation biases to prove your point.

First off, the 50% divorce rate is a mathematical fiction. The number topped out in the high 40s in the last 1970s and has dropped since then.

But, let's take that number as an argument. Because the obverse means that 50% of all marriages stand the test of time. If you had a 50% shot that you could have a lifelong companion in life, wouldn't you take that shot? What's more, if you really read the breakdown on the divorce statistics, the divorce rate for people who wait to marry until their late 20s or early 30s is very low. In short, people who actually go into marriage with a wise choice for a spouse do just fine. They know bliss.

I love my wife. I love being with her. She is my best friend. She totally understands me. I trust her and she trusts me. And my one selfish hope is that I die before her because I couldn't imagine not having her in my life.

Yet guys like you who blather on about statistics and bizarre gender politics theories will never have that in your life. That makes me kind of sad. You're essentially foregoing what is really the most amazing experience in your life because you're a scaredy cat.

I assume your still college age. I wouldn't make life long decisions yet. You might change your mind. I wouldn't tell anyone that you plan on being a life long bachelor. Any time you say something outside societal norms, people will jump on you. Keep it to yourself, that way, if later you do change your mind, you don't look foolish. EG: My son lamented at 25 that he probably would end up single and not meet anyone. Now five years later, he's got a new better job, wife, two kids, and a mortgage, and a honey do list on his house a mile long. Life is full of surprises. Don't chart your course without planning for some detours along the way.

The "key" to female arousal lies in them being the centre of attention and feeling sexy rather than feeling anything for their partners. (they are self-centred and selfish). Guys tend to suicide more and also tend to have a harder time after a break up. Women are the ones asking for divorce more often (>70%). Besides.. Men have dedicated a lot of art to women, but what about the opposite?: When women paint, they tend to paint other women. When women write about love, they focus on the woman being the centre of attention and “love” becomes a synonym for “gynocentric egocentrism”.When women sing about relationships, they rarely focus on the guy; it is always about them unless they are looking for someone to blame.I have seen and witnessed this from my bare eyes and i have every right to say these things here. This does not however make me a misogynist.
Careful, you're hijacking your own thread.

And divorce + being used like a sperm donor and atm would be the worst experience in men's life. Thank you very much. But my life is ok. I don't want to experience so called most amazing experience because it could turn your worst nightmare in no time.Good luck to you. I am sticking with my views.
