Default I know tons of women who have never had a serious relationship

I know so many women who just have sworn off romantic relationships with men. I suspect that they are not lesbians but just had such a hard time meeting and interacting with men that after a period of anger and despair they determined it just was not worth it.

Many of these women are very friendly and close with large groups of like minded ladies who have also struck out on love. I suspect that they get more emotional support from each other than many married couples recieve. Some are like Janet Reno or Conde Rice who tell us they are to busy to date. Others have no social skills and have little to offer a man.

Does anyone have any stats about an ever increasing number of women who never marry and have no interest in having a loving relationship with a man.

the book unhooked generation? not sure...that could offer important info to your research.

I haven't dated much or been in a long serious relationship. I think I have social skills, good values, and look attractive....there just hasn't been a good opportunity.

Honestly I tried. I have tried on several occasions to have a serious relationship, now don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for marriage, I'm just looking for mostly comfort and companionship with the willingness for it to go further.

It has a lot to do with the generation today as well. A man told me well he can't even wait 3 months to have "snacks" because that is to long, their are a lot of women that would do it faster....

Well you know what, a lot of woman do have this "sexual revolution/freedom" now and I agree with it, I don't do it personally but it does hurt the women who takes things slowly......

I have dated men twice my age and still to no avail have found a good man! Are all the good men taken. Like one comedian said" I don't know how a woman today can't find a good man when other men can find a man, its a shame" .....LOL

There comes a time in your life that you feel so comfortable in your skin that you do not need the drama or romaticism that a relationship has to offer. Life is good, it can be shared with someone, but not always.
