According to Google 20% of men and women don't get married with men leading at a slightly higher rate.

Who knows. I'm sure there are tons of reasons.

It can be as now we have the same choice as men to stay single or not. Before women could not really survive without a man to support her so staying single was not that easy. Think lots of women put up with even abusive husbands before because they had no other option. Not all people want to get married or have a need for a partner in life. Women are now also free to stay without if that is what they want in life.

Ekself, again we agree. Previously, for a good life most women had to get married. At best, they were scorned if they didn't. Old maid and derisive terms like that. Often no marriage meant no protector and also since for a very long time women were only allowed certain kinds of work, not much food either. Often women were not allowed to own anything either. In many places those things have changed. So now, the question for a woman contemplating marriage becomes, why on Earth would I wish to do that?

I'm not sure 'most' women prefer to remain single, but for those who do I imagine it's for valid reasons.

Many of us have a history of unsatisfying relationships (as do many men) and we take note of that, particularly as we grow older conversing

We tend our gardens, they bloom and flourish and in time we realise that our harvest is bountiful and beautiful without any additional assistance.

Call it empowerment if you will, I think it's a mix of acceptance, resilience, insight and peace.

From what women write in their profiles and on the blogs, it is little surprising they prefer to remain single.

Of course the word "prefer" is fabricated as women these days have such a defined idea of the type of man they want, they know they are NEVER going to find that man.

I sum this up by quoting one womans profile where it stated the woman didnt need a man in her life...... she just wanted one from time to time!.... Jeeeeez!

I don't know about most women, I can only talk about myself.

I would welcome a decent guy into my life. I just never saw any sense in jumping from one unsuitable guy to the next and simply never did it. A keeper - bring it on. grin

Empored???

As in having the same rights and duties? You can only talk about yourself there. wine

I have been single for 22 years. Not from lack of interest. Just because I like it. Having a fling once in a blue moon is more than sufficient. Then I can stay myself.

who told you so?! it is not correct. the sheer number of women ( looking for men and vice versa ) registered in cs and other dating site proves the fact that they do not want to remain so.

Most people are single for long term because of unrealistic expectations. After all there's always cats...

Women nowadays don't NEED a man, they only WANT a man, and that makes a HUGE difference in how things used to be vs how they are now. Women are learning that they don't have to stay in a sour or abusive marriage. And what is wrong with a woman wanting a fling here or there? Men have done it all along...now it's the women's turn and some men are put off by that? dunno Times have changed, haven't they?

As has been suggested... times have changed in the way men and women see relationships, however, what has not changed is the attitude towards more liberal relationships.

Women are choosier, but are also more likely to fall in love with a shady character - this seems like a paradox at first glance.

Anyway, now that women don't so much need a man for his money and security her safe bet is not to "settle" with a boring nice guy, but to stay single. After getting burned a woman will often prefer not to take any more chances. Men don't give up as easily.

depends on the boyfriend if he is too much trouble then yes i rather be single by choice but if he is a sweet heart the no i want to be in a relationship with him and i want him to be part of my life every single moment of it and such relationship can be more empowering than the power of being single.
Plus women have to evaluate them self psyche their mind and see whether the power is power or is it ego. those are 2 different things
