Usually these guys might feel the need of a woman but they probably think that the disadvantages that come with a serious relationship (drama, cheating, financial burden, lack of freedom, etc) outrank the good points, so they prefer to stay single.

People don't need to be in a proper relationship to have sex. Occasional one night stands along with the help of the right hand are probably enough to satisfy the basic needs.

Well I guess some guys just can't stand to be alone. Either because they don't want society to look down on them or they feel "lonely."

Yes all guys are wired to want sex. Trust me, I'm one of them. I had a one night stand for the second time back in february and I don't care to do it again. It's not me.

Some guys have enough things to do plus hobbies and don't have the time. Yes, I want a family and a couple kids but I also have things I want to do in my life. Self challenges. If a female can keep up with me, sure that would be awesome. But I'm not slowing down for one until I am satisfied first.

And some of us just enjoy being alone more than being around people in general, male or female. I could be a hermit pretty easily, I think. When/if I find a woman I enjoy being with more than being alone, then I'll know I found a good one. So far I haven't her.

Speaking for myself, I haven't been in a relationship for 4 years now, but it is not because of a lack of effort. I've just been busy with finishing college and obtaining a degree. I am 2 years into my job. During the last 4 years, I've learned that life is great for single men, and that I have plenty of activities and friends to not bother myself with relationships. I feel like relationships and women drama is something that I want to avoid as much as possible, and my outlook on life is more clear and happy then it was when I was last in a relationship 4 years ago.

I just wanted to get opinions from all of you out there, especially single men. I want to see if there are any single men who feel the same way as I do.
Finally single after being in various relationships since my sophomore year in high school. While I can say I'm having a blast, no drama, etc., there's always that bit of companionship I miss.

The way work is currently, I don't think I could be a great boyfriend to anyone, but when things slow down I will probably be open to another relationship.

I do completely understand what you are talking about though.

So does this mean you're not going to make that year-end quota? 22 days and counting ...

I don't think so, I'm just glad I ended the 11 month drought of not going on a date. So I will look foward to 2010. On the good side atleast I met a cute girl who will spend time with me each week in my apt. She is my practice girlfriend

If a 26 year old man has no interest in, and chooses not to associate with females, he is either a moma's boy, very very immature, or gay.

Men were designed to be attracted to women, and vice versa.
I guess it depends on what interest means. I date and hang out (and do, you know, rent the cow, so to speak) with women, but I have no desire to be in a relationship. It would take an amazing woman for that.

Yes, I think you should satisfy your wife to some extent but not bow to her.
Sounds spot on. I'm not the type of person who would put up that. I'm all for give-and-take and working together, but what I see a lot of time. Also, the get mad for having a night out or doing something (a hobby or such). You need that in a relationship. I think you need to have you're own time (this goes for both partners) every once in a while.
