I won't bother getting married. Single and ready to mingle forever!
whoaaaa, wait one silly moment here....

Not everyone cheats on everyone...and not everyone marries for money.

And just because all the other guys tell you the same thing, doesn't mean its true.

Answer me one question....

Lets say you are considering getting married. What are your reasons for doing so?

Thanks Creme

It isn't their childhoods that make them that way. It's dating selfish men who use them to dump them. When you've had your heart broken several times, you have to harden it to protect it.

I won't bother getting married. Single and ready to mingle forever!
Last week I had a great weekend with a spicy 22yr old.
Last night a drop dead gorgeous lady I have known a few years asked me what I was doing later that evening and I ended up waking up with her in my arms.
Neither of these things would have happened if I was married or even still seriously dating my miserable girlfriend. She seems to be interested in what I can do for her, these other two seem only interested in what we can do for each other in the now. I prefer the short term can you make me happy tonighters!

I can get em, and I choose to.

Uh, dude.

Dating relationships mostly end in marriage.

You can't "stay single and mingle" forever especially as you get older.
The young, single women wouldn't mingle with you. There.

So, when the girls you're mingling right now, starts to realize that you're not marriage material will you live as a hermit?

Maybe your boys were really saying, "hey, we're losers because no woman can stay with us for long. Why don't you be one with us so we won't feel so bad?"

I heard the main reason people won't get married is because they fear rejection. Is that you? Even if you "mingle" you could still chance on being rejected.

I know, but what do they act like? Seriously, I need to know. Are they all sex crazed and mean?

And therefore you should be hostile and cold-hearted to all men? Hello...am I missing out on something. Sounds like irrational and childish anger displacement to me.
