I will make it simple. Men are expected to provide, protect, pay for everything while getting nothing in return. Women these days have forgotten how to be women. Most women have become selfish, aggressive, and hateful. If I work 80 hours a week I don't spend enough time with you. If I work 40 hours a week I don't make enough money. If I help around the house I don't do it right, if I don't help around the house I'm worthless. If I parent my children I'm too tough and am an a-hole. If I don't parent my children I'm a deadbeat. Men can't win. And if you divorce me you get everything I worked for. It's a lose -lose for men. Just easier to stay single and keep my peace, my sanity, and my house.

Because statistically speaking according to today's society it is proven that by having a female partner you have an � chance to get cheated on, and that's still not counting the phycological or physical abuse that they can give me or my/our child when I'm not home, Im sorry but they don't make them like they used to no more, we're not going to bust our asses all our lives and invest on something that's going to bring us pain and suffering, Peace is all we want.

Sanity is worth more than a relationship nowadays loyalty used to exist now it's as respected as running a red light and the saddest part would be how we use the word love just to be exclusive but don't understand its meaning why not say to one you want to be with please don't entertain other guy's don't laugh at there dumb jokes or flit with them or even be friends like that it's not healthy than if u marry you have to give a percentage when that person didn't help you build anything just put you down and dismantle your thoughts and dreams. Let's just be friends have a nice time and that's it u go home I go home...

Because she will leave and take everything and then prevent us from seeing our kids. Guys are not going to risk losing everything for someone who doesn't really bring anything to the relationship except a used kitty with a high number count. I'm not saying it's all women and all men, but it is the majority.

cuz social media has taught girls/women that men are optional and that we r to provide everything for them while they give nothing in return. and when we decide we want you to help you cheat and make it our fault. why should we do so when we r the only ones putting in effort. we r done with the 1 sided bs

because some women want control rather than a relationship, automatically wanting the mand to do whatever she wants and not realizing that when you want someone, it's supposed to be for the companionship and not for personal gain. being a woman is not all about you and just what you want a man wanthe can work with.

to demanding, delusional, crazy expectations, kids, no compassion, empathy, refusing to be held accountable, vengeful narcissistic traits, will keep your kids from you and lie to them about it, scheme filled, full of crazy accusations, always has a complaint about everything, likes nothing I enjoy.......could go on for literal hours but you get the point. Not woman hating but I'd rather be single and enjoy my space, freedom, and my peace of mind. peace.

Men hear the horror stories from the older generation everyday at work. Guys that work 35yrs and when they want to retire the ex they left 20yrs ago because she cheated, still gets half their pension. That and all the child support they had to pay that never really went to the kids. Until they change the laws and stop this nonsense men are not likely to settle down. The new trend is to have a long term girlfriend and stay in a separate home so they can't claim common law marriage, never have kids, and live your life.

we're not only not benefitting from the arrangement, we're actually being hurt by the system. We see over and over women in their late 20s into their 30s cheat. divorce rates are high enough and hurtful enough that it never is an equal split and many men lose their kids. it's a complex problem. X Gen parents lost their kids to social media and celebrity influencers. No accountability. outrageous behavior, zero sense of loyalty.

It is to much work to gain the interest of a woman... and when you have their attention they will not commit to a relationship. Then there are the carreer women who want to concentrate on there job and don't have the time for a relationship. Why continue searching when they don't have the time to be together.

I think it started when we became handbags that were traded in for the next better handbag when the sense of compassion is left when we are only valued for what we could provide I on the other hand and blessed I have found a good woman with a compassionate heart and a good soul and lets me play the role of a man

most American females are evil and controlling, you think you own your man and tell them what to do and you might give them some.but you seam to don't understand you are not the only female that has one. and you think you can cut them off. but they plenty of other females will give it up easy until they get married. best to stay single and you get all you want.

because there's no such thing as a partnership anymore it's due for me. do for me do for me and then when we ask for something to be done it's like pulling teeth or I do something every time you ask. and in reality, that's not how it works. women are selfish and self-centered these days

it's not that I don't want a partner for life cause I do, actually I was married for almost 6yrs but I divorced her because while I was out breaking my back to provide for our family she was sleeping around behind my back,I was just a paycheck to her pretty much,women nowadays have changed they aren't looking for a boyfriend or something serious they just want to hookup that's it& that's not what I'm looking for I want a girlfriend that hopefully leads to something serious, permanent & those type of woman heck I have no clue where they are hopefully ill come across one some day

When I finally found someone, we were together. Almost 10 years and had a beautiful child together and she decided that she wanted to be with someone else and cheated on me and abandoned us.

women have characteristics like a man. That's not what we are looking for. A person can have to much freedom, as a individual when no else matters accept the person themselves. You can't have a healthy relationship with no one if you think the whole world involves around you.We as men we need women who are proud to be a woman .not someone who competing with us. We need a loving and caring mate.

Because many women think that we should give them the ocean and that we should be satisfied with a grain of sand. Life has its challenges for everyone, men and women, but the challenges for me is to uphold the societal expectations like being a provider, not be sensitive, be quiet, suck it up, dont live for yourself but for the woman...etc. we dont receive reward for the things we do and have to put up with. Not even a freaking pat on the back. We dont do what we for a reward, but a show of appreciation goes a long damn way. We dont bit h and moan because in the end, nobody gives a care. So it doesnt matter. We're torn down and questioned as being men.
