I guess for someone that feels they need a "reason", they'll do...I don't really have any thoughts about it other than that if you want to be single, be single...no excuses, or reasons necessary.
I think the first reason is excellent. I think most of the other reasons are out of sync with number one - because the point of number one is that you should take your time to find the right person. And then most of the other reasons are really only applicable to having a relationship with the wrong person. At least, that's my take on it. Personally, I think everyone should wait to settle down until they find the right person - if that's what they are looking for.
I would advise any young man to be very careful before you get married and involved sexually with a young woman of today. I know of two women who are married to very nice young men, walk all over them, treat them like a servant, are constantly visiting on on the phone to mom, or regularly visiting mom, play sick to get out of work or contend they can't work, even chores at home, and treating their husbands parents like the enemy. I've heard of other stories from parents of grown children who are dealing with very selfish, self centered daughter in laws. Single men have to be careful too, as some of these young women may become "accidently" pregnant,(I know some cases like this also) leaving the guy on the hook for child support for many years. Why do you think there are so many single women with children on the dating forums. My advice, take it slow and be very careful. If their family is on the crazy side, run.
I've never in my life got a decent explanation on why a man being single is "immature"
No, immature as in how the article is written. The writer basically plays off the issues of the relationship being completely the woman's fault - she's moody, she spends money, she is a gold digger, etc.

Please be mindful of this generalization -- some of us single moms are because our ex-husbands ran out on us after a mutually agreed upon pregnancy, not because we put them "on the hook" for anything.
Otherwise, I completely agree with your statement about some young women out there AND taking time to find a partner that is a good match.
Unfortunately relationships are treated as just another game these days.
Back 100 years ago young people got married to start their families. They intended to form a strong unit which would protect all the members equally. The men usually earned the income, the woman traditionally ran the home and reared the children. Folks usually lived within a mile of their own parents and where they grew up. The world was a harsh place and people knew Family was the best way to survive.
That has gone. Now people want endless passion, perfect grooming, bank accounts, careers, perfect children, a show home, an SUV each.
Now men tend to view women and marriage as a threat/liability. They no longer see wives and children as something to be proud of, rather something to be wary of. Dating is no longer a quest to find who you're most compatible with to build a family and a future, but to find who is less likely to "steal" the joint money in the inevitable divorce.
It's the way of the world now and ironically, men everywhere complain because women do not have sex with them.
Perhaps if they treated women less as liabilities and more as assets, they would be more popular.

The whole gist of the list was that women want to ruin men's lives and bleed them dry. If a guy meets the right woman, she makes his life better. She wants him to hang out with his friends. She wants him to keep his speedboat (what guy has a speedboat, anyway?) and take maybe her out on it. And at the same time, he likes her and he wants to spend time with her. Relationships aren't for everyone, but they don't have to be punishment or restrictive.
