I'm 32 and never had a girlfriend. I just want to calmly live my life, work as much as possible, travel as much as possible, help my family as much as possible, take care of my dog. I don't want a woman to ruin such a good life.
My friends, however, always try to set me up. At weddings or parties, they frequently leave me alone with a single woman or make comments like "oh she has just broken up with her boyfriend." Congrats to them but why would I care?
At least your friends definitely care about and value you...I didn't have a 1st g/f until I was 31, but my friends/family could have cared less whether I found someone romantically or not, and so I had to do everything on my own, the hard way...
These days they are all getting married and turning into very, very boring people. It's marriage, babies, wedding dresses, family homes, ugh.
J/c, have you ever considered that while I understand that you are happy being alone currently, later on down the road in the future, you might potentially come to regret not having someone special in your life, who loves you and cares about you?
Not wanting my life turned upside down and not wanting to spend money on someone that will stab you in the back given the chance.
Ah, but please remember though, not all women are like that, not by a long shot...some women can be incredibly loving, affectionate, caring, and gentle
I mean if you were to actually meet the hypothetical girl of your dreams, wouldn't you at least be willing to give her a chance?

Weren't you paying attention? He has a plan that includes working a lot, traveling, taking care of his parents and playing with his dog. Who are we to tell a 32 year old man who has never had a girlfriend and was upset because he started to like someone once what to do or how he might be missing out?

Regret what? Living the high life?! His friends are just jealous.

Whatever works best for the OP and makes him the most happy sounds great to me...if he is more happy being by himself and the other activities you had mentioned, all the more credit to him
At the same time though, right now in the present he is 32. But what happens when he is 45-50-65, etc.? When his parents and pet eventually pass on into the hereafter in the future, due the natural process of aging? Has he ever considered that it might eventually become really lonely, not to have a loving family of his own in his life? Everybody has a fundamental human need, to be loved and cared about...

I freely concede that an unhappy marriage where it is nothing but stress and conflict for both sides is not something that anyone should be actively wanting or aiming for. However, having the real love of a truly good, kindhearted, and loving woman can make a huge and incredibly powerful difference for the better, in someone's life If he was to find a compassionate, affectionate woman that genuinely cared very much for him and freely offered him her heart and love, would he really want to turn that kind of precious gift away?

I actually agree with you, was being sarcastic, which doesn't translate well.
Your friends think they're helping you. Just thank them for their efforts and let them know you're a confirmed bachelor, not interested in a relationship.

You know that in the 1950s the phrase "confirmed bachelor" was code for gay?
