I have noticed there is a real large double standard when it comes to wanting to stay single.

If a man says something to the effect of "I don't want to be in a relationship and have to share and compromise and deal with women" women will say things like the guy is a loser, a Virgin, has issues etc. Yet if a woman said something like "I don't need a man and don't want to deal with men's crap and their issues and have to compromise" women will say things like "you go girl!" "you are a strong independent woman!" "women definitely don't need a man!" "girl power!" etc. etc. etc.

It's very hypocritical. Man doesn't like the idea of being with a woman? He's a loser. A woman that doesn't want to deal with a man? She's just a strong independent woman!

I think it's the other way around.

Older single men are "bachelors", older single women are "spinsters" or "cat ladies".

If a young guy is single, it's "you're a player, huh?" if a young woman is single it's "wow, you'll find someone, you poor thing!"

I feel a firestorm coming on again! I'll throw another one out there for the hell of it!
Any woman can pick any man she wants, for men, it's not that easy, for it's women that actually do the picking and choosing of whom they desire as a mate. After all, men are a dime a dozen, women are a commodity!

LOL. I have never heard anyone saying those things, to men or women.

Same here. Ive not yet heard anyone here or in real life call anyone a loser. Because in all seriousness, people have a short attention span and really don't [care].

Yeah. Or others will say the woman must be too picky. We see that a lot here from bitter guys. If a woman has trouble dating she's ugly, has an attitude problem, is unrealistically picky because women have nothing but hundreds of grand men after them on a daily basis. lol

Another double standard. If a guy has tons o women, he's a stud that any woman would be lucky to get. If the woman has tons of men, she's a ***** that men should only sex from, but never get serious with.

But the thing is unless a woman is extremely ugly she will have no trouble finding a man who agrees to sex and consequently ride the **** caroseul. Whereas even attractive men unless they have serious "game" will always have trouble.

I think the OP is getting heat for being single when it's his choice.

Here: I'll break it down like this....

Women are emotional. They see you alone and care. They feel you are lonely and need somebody. It's really an awwwww moment for them.

It's ok man. I walked in your shoes.

Yep. Aside from parents who maybe want grandkids in the future, nobody cares if you (man or woman) is single and wants to be single. How much does anyone really care about the choices of strangers?

The only time anyone cares is when the person wanting to be single is seeking attention from others and needs validation from others for their choice by being self righteous and making sexist generalizations and illogical claims to purposely provoke an argument from others (usually the claims are about the opposite sex, but sometimes about their own gender). Then people will chime in (usually to let you know they don't care) but only because YOU brought it to THEIR face trying to claim opinion is fact in the first place hoping for a reaction.

So in other words, don't drag others into things, and others will leave you alone. But don't act shocked when you purposefully ask, in a confrontational way, for the input of others and they "give it to you."
