I could certainly never swear off men altogether, but I have to admit I'm much happier and my life is so much more peaceful when I'm single

I think times have changed because a lot more women are educated and independent. Many can take care of themselves financially and don't "need" a man to pay the bills. I know I am much less likely to put up with crap from a man now that I can take care of myself financially.

Even though I find women attractive, I don't think I could become a lesbian. So batteries will have to do for now!

I don't see it. However, since there is quite a surplus of men here, I think this may not be how it is everywhere. People like a choice and this may influence such a decision.

Here's what I see:

Men:

Never married - most pack it in between 35 and 40. I've heard some brave words but little tangible action. They know they were passed over for a reason and eventually come to terms with this.

Divorced - often attempt to get remarried or into CL arrangements. They like women who aren't likely to be a financial drain, should it not work.

Women:

Never married - never seem to quit. They often find some foreign guy when they get older.

Divorced - seldom get remarried unless the previous marriage was childless or it ended while they were quite young. After fifty, some reconsider.

Men need sex. That is why.

Is this true in your experience and if so, why?

What's wrong with you miu?

I take it that you met men who were only interested in sex and were hurt by it by your posts on this forum.

What you said is wrong on so many counts. Yes men are not "as" emotional but many men need an emotional attachment just like women. Men need a feeling of being appreciated just like women. I personally would find a woman who just offers ONLY sexual gratification boring and could not stay with her long believe it or not. I require different things from women so that we can both stay interested in one another.

Men are much more likely to just want sex but not ALWAYS.
For some reason you never mention the women who do not want a committed relationship and just sex, there are more than you think. Yes, women do use men for sex a lot of times and guess what, there are actual female sex tourists and women who have sex with male giggolos

So men do not want love and companionship too? Sex accompanies love and companionship.

Men and women really want a lot of the same things in life, things just do not work out. Yes, men can be satisfied just fu***** women after failed relationships but that will get old and boring after a while and the man will want something more satisfying. Remember the sleeping around Mariah Carey engaged in when she got divorced?

I don't think that's why. Sex is not hard to come by, just lower your standards and walla

I think it's hard as a guy, to get emotional support from other men and that's why men need women. You can get emotional support from your mom or your girlfriend, or if you're open to it a female friend. Each has it's drawbacks.

I don't think most women are completely happy without a man either though. Sure, women can swear off men but the ones who do don't really seem that happy to me.
