What a more than 40 years single man is thinking?

[Oildog]

Because I like my money and my house. Have dated some great gals, but it never worked out and I travel for my job quite often. Besides most of my friends have said they wouldn't marry their wives again. Love the kids though.

5. He wants to come home to a quiet sanctuary rather than a house ruled by a shrew and filled with shrieking kids, neither of whom he can discipline without being arrested even if it is just raising his vioce.
6. He sees ABSOLUTELY NO ADVANTAGE to getting married!
7. In the words of Braveheart: FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that about covers it.

So I take it you're not a fan of getting marriedWhy don't you tell us what you really think about marriage

So many possibilities. But marriage is not always the goal for everyone.

A 40+ single guy still single has set being single as a priority in his life. Because if that were not the case, he would have found a way not to be single by now. Maybe his priorities were taking care of siblings or parents, or working on his career, or hell, even drinking, partying and playing the field. Who knows? If he wanted another life and never made time to have it, then he's finding out the hard way that time doesn't wait for anyone.
