At some point some of us just no longer have the energy for intimate relationships and we just dont care.
I don't think I ever had the energy. This is for a variety of reasons. They weren't presented to me in a positive light or as something I should aspire to. I also don't like myself enough to believe that someone else might, so I don't give them the chance.
My brother's coworkers are telling him to remarry so he has someone to cook, clean, and do laundtry for him. I told him it's cheaper to pay a stranger to do the work, instead of losing thousands of dollars more in another divorce settlement!
I was talking to a neighbor a couple of years ago...his wife had recently died. He was telling my husband and I how he'd thought about remarrying, but he wanted someone younger, if he decided to go that route. And younger like someone in her 20's.
He was a nice enough guy, but as he was talking, I'm looking at him in his trucker hat, a tooth or two missing, thinning hair, flannel shirt, living in rural Missouri, and I'm thinking "Good luck with that."

Why can't your brother learn to cook, clean, and do his own laundry?
My husband was totally self sufficient in those regards, otherwise I wouldn't have married him in spite of his other outstanding characteristics.

These are fairly simple tasks one should be taught as a child, or learned through necessity as a single young adult living on their own.

Even cheaper to do it himself!
Sad that he was never taught those things.
Good idea, but I can't do that kind of work anymore for two homes, I have my own to do and I live alone, my bad back can't take it, and I started to look for a cleaning woman for myself.
My brother does his own housework and laundry, his co-workers are telling him he shouldn't be doing it, a female slave should be doing the work instead
I know you can never say never. I've been single for almost 4 years now and within those for years I am more happy than actually being in relationship.
Okay maybe my reason to not want to be in relationship is because of my past relationship and just my observation everytime I am out and about. I've noticed that people are self-entitled and self centered. ( example: hearing a converstion where a person just talk about themselves , parents not disciplining their misbehaving kids, adults acting like kids, etc)
I just dont think I want any drama and to add more stress in my life . Not be negative nancy, for my opinion is just a lot easier and happier to be single than to be in relationship.
Yes... Relationships are a lot of work and can be painful. It's easier to not have them, but the good ones are worth their weight in gold. When the 'mine' doesn't produce gold, time to pack up and look elsewhere.

Of course they want a younger woman to do all the work and take care of them, the younger women can have them!
