I was listening to this video on YouTube and this dude said men enjoying being single compared to women.

Are men really happy with their lives if they stay single? Can women be happy with their lives if they're single?

Since I'm staying childfree and most women do want children, then I have to get used to staying single, probably forever, and maybe leave the world a virgin (I don't believe in fornication).

I believe young men prefer being single; older men married.
I believe young women prefer being married; older women single.

Women live longer if they're single. Men live longer if they're married. So the question is would I prefer to live longer?

I'll have to agree that younger women prefer being married and older women single. Not sure about men. They seem to like having someone around to clean up after them no matter what their age

I don't think we can make a meaningful generalization about it, but no doubt some people (men and women) are happy being single, despite society's constant insistence that one should get married and start a family.

I'm not sure why you're so convinced you won't find a woman who doesn't want children.

Because from what I've seen on reality television and at high school (2 years since I graduated). All girls were talking about is babies.

IMO: Most females get/have "baby-rabies" till they're about in their late thirties - but that can get short-circuited if they get into a big $$$ career.

Yes. I think men like being single.
I hate it. It is so boring.

I would hate it too, knowing that there are no girls who are my type.
