I don't know, but I do find single men aren't very subtle about highlighting they're single sometimes.
It's like their dissatisfaction with being single has them focussed on finding a partner, any partner, rather than just getting to know women and letting things unfold one way, or the other.
It leaves me feeling that I, as a human being, am somewhat irrelevant. It feels like it's a relationship they seek, not a person and I find it objectifying.
For me, being single is fine. I think I can sometimes feel lonely on my own, or with people about. I can not feel lonely on my own, or with people about. It strikes me loneliness, or otherwise is about my frame of mind as much as being alone, or otherwise.
jac_the_gripper: I wish I could work out what that blunt, cerebral answer was.
Some clear communication would have helped me understand.
que? How on earth have I missed that
If you dont understanding that there is no correlation in the subject of the thread, I suggest you to do some reading. plenty of material available online.
I was curious as to what the blunt answer was, that's all. There's an irony in there somewhere, I'm almost sure of it.
I wonder if there's more social pressure on men to be in relationships. I wonder if women having more choice about relationships over the last 60 years, or so, has changed the psychology of being single for men.
They require a partner when their playing days have come to an end and their use by date has punched them in the face..Problem for those kind is a lot of woman aren't interested because we ain't silly.

Do you think so Merc
I just feel that men on the whole don't feel complete without a woman by their side

I don't "love " typing,
I think we have a language barrier here.
To me 'the subject of the thread' is singular, but 'correlation' refers to a connection between two, or more things.
Can you see why I need clarification? I could guess at what you mean, but I don't consider that effective communication.

that´s a different subject, and an intelligent question.
Yes it has changed of men being single. It has made it easier. society has change for better.
The difference between the genders and the pressures are related to the better education,and equal rights to both men and women.
of course, sociohistoricaly men had to "win/ provide", and it still somehow in certain types of culture (western also)
