people who say negative things about single guys are JEALOUS!

I'm thirty not married and happy. Marriage is not worth the time and price.

We don't want to be rinsed by gold diggers. If a man makes it to 40 and single, he's seen and heard it all before and can't be duped by her act. With age comes wisdom from experience.

"they assume he has a psychological issue that prevents him from being in a serious relationship..." Yeah, it's called sanity.

MGTOW

I'm 32 , unmarried , unattached and I have no plans or want for a relationship. I don't seek approval from other people nor do I need it. I do what I want , when I want and to noone elses disappointment or detriment.

If someone ever says I'm afraid of commitment, i'll just say "I'm not afraid of commitment. I'm fully and wholeheartedly committed to being single. " :)

I'm 33, single, no kids, never been married. I have a decent job, I travel, ride a motorcycle and pursue various other hobbies. My extended family often asks me when I'm going to get married and I ask them one question: why? They all come up with some bullshit answer. Last year at the company Christmas party all the dudes I work with tell me how lucky I am and how jealous they are of me because I have no attachments.

I divorced almost 30 years ago and never remarried. Once was enough for me.

Whats wrong is people feeling like single men should become contractually obligated..lmao.

It’s unfair to say bachelors are gay

MGTOW - 4 - LIFE

Unfortunately....being brokenhearted and used before is a good reason for me to stay single..

I sometimes think that dating and marriage are just alternate versions of prostitution. DTA ( don't trust anyone )

I'm older and single and don't feel stigmatized. I am often the envy of married men. I'm REALLY envied by divorced men.

This really is just another reason why i hate society, i just can't stand how demanding people are of how others should live their lives. Let them make their own fucking decisions with their lives and why should they have to be told shit if they don't live by certain standards. If a man isn't married or hasn't had sex by a certain age, what would it fucking matter to you? It's either his decision or he just doesn't have the confidence to form relationships anyway.

Some men have never married not because they commitment-phobes, players etc, but because quite simply while they may be regarded as decent guys, they no woman thinks they're special enough to commit their life to them. Considering what a huge committment marriage is, and the hoops one has to go through in order to get married (ask her outm first date, second date....) it is staggering that there aren't more people out there who never marry.

It's because they assume the guy who's never been married has nothing to offer

Women don't want to commit with guys that never were in a stable relationship and yet the fault lays on the guys...

That facial guy at 0:48 wearing black facial expresion was priceless 😂

Why do people assumed the guy is gay. Maybe the guy might be unattractived as hell. Speaking as if he doesn't have any cash, look ugly, come from a bad back round that made him the loser of who he is today. Just because a guy is single it doesn't always mean he is gay.

Marriage is like trying to get ridOf a fire that slowly eats away at you and gets bigger and bigger until you can't take the pain anymore. Savor the suffering.

I am sure that people who grew on internet can't be shamed or bullied into marriage, so tough luck society. Put some of that shame on the other side.

If Marriage was properly viewed and valued, then we wouldn't fear.

I'm 33 ,in a relationship & I long to be single again. I have no plans to marry . old bachelors are cooler than most

I see no reason in sex and/or a romantic commitment of any kind in my life. I am perfectly happy, satisfied and successful as a single asexual/aromantic man and having someone else in my life to the extend that is marriage would just devalue my own life. So I say "No thanks marriage, no thanks ladies."

0:48 John's WTF face

0:49 over the shoulder look lol that was good

0:48 LOL

the thing about older men though is they have more to offer. they tend to have more money, have no debt, have a solid career, etc. and the divorce rate has scared many men away from marriage.

"Just take your money and light it on fire." That's like THE most accurate marital advice EVER! LOL

my mother screams at my father with that mindset EVERY FUCKING DAY. I can't wait until they split up so i won't have to hear her misguided and self entitled bitching anymore. The worst thing about it is that if she doesn't get to pick a fight with him on a specific day because he's working at the office early or late she'll pick a fight with me. I can't wait until i move out. Things are going to be so much better.

John's face in the background... lol

I can't understand why ppl have such a hard time getting along. I married my wife after high school graduation in 2000,had our first kid in 2002,second in 2005. Today we've been together 14 years and looking forward to what life brings us down the road. I don't know why ppl can't enjoy life and love and enjoy building a life with someone. I know sometimes there is justification for divorce, but I've seen a lot of ppl get divorced and the grass is never greener.

0:47 Look at John's reaction - priceless.

Haha take your money and light it on fire , great advice

MGTOW for life

I am 34, single, never been married, straight, have short term relationships in the past with women but did not end well and now I am just enjoying my life and who knows I could find the right women one day, get married and start a family. Sometimes it just social stigma and values that condemns unmarried bachelors, especially boomer relatives and conservative people. I am not a drug addict and alcoholic, I frequently workout, eat healthy, can take care of myself and totally dedicated to my profession as a transactional attorney. There are other things that bachelors can focus in life instead of succumbing to social pressure, lowering your standards and ending up with the wrong women. Though sometimes I envy the married men who are lucky and blessed with beautiful wife and kids but anyways we all have our timeline and destinies in life!

Pfft. I don't even like having roommates and I'm over here watching a video about marriage. I know all I need to know about marriage and that is: Don't do it! And this is coming from a gal...not a guy!

Marriage is so overrated. I mean besides some legal benefits what does marriage give you that a long/life term serious relationship doesn't. And on the flip side if you two come to not enjoy each others company any more, its a lot easier to break up if you weren't married and where just in a long term relationship. I'm not saying I'll never get married but I see people jumping to get married as quick as possible and it usually doesn't fair well. At least live together for 5years before hand.

And? There's nothing wrong with getting married at 45, or 55, or 65, or never. I would much rather find the person I want to be with later in life than endure a rotten marriage.

Marriage was the single greatest mistake I've ever made in my entire life. . I lost my job, my car, my dog, my house, and my family antiques. . I got $16,000 of her debt, all her thrift store garbage (she got my antiques, I got her used trash), and 17 years of child support payments for her and my neighbors child. . Stupid me thought I had a right to leave her after she had an affair with our neighbor---apparently not, considering the immense punishment I've suffered for her poor decisions...

I'm 35 & unmarried childfree man who is debt free and a business owner I will never change that I'm also very unsocial so I'm not the type to go out with friends or party as I don't like alcohol or smoke anything I just work as to me working doesn't feel like work but more of a hobby that I get paid for

Fuck the current trend. Why get married?! Just live with the person you love for as long as can endure each other. Why do you need a certificate to tell you that when, statistically, theres a 50% chanse that you will separate? I don't get marriage, and marriage will never get me :)

they are after status

Hahahahaha! Look at John's face at 0:47! He's like WTF?!?!?!

I had a girl I knew from a class take me to court for sending her too many e-mails, even though they were all of an innocuous nature. That's made me extremely cautious in my contacts with women.

The reason why I've never been married is because I'm fat, ugly, poor and stupid plus I never had any luck picking up women so I never bothered with it. The times I did try dating I wound up getting my heart broken from all the rejection so I decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Thank god from my art that has healed me from what I've experienced.

0:47 To the left.

John's face at 0:49 is priceless

I'm 36, and I had a woman tell me that she thought I was gay because I've had trouble getting women to date me.

Are unmarried women unstigmatized?

I never married because I'm just not interested in raising kids. I like seeing kids now and then, but I also like giving them back to their parents when they stop being cute and cuddly. I'll probably settle down one of these days, but in the meantime, I do enjoy the single life.

I hate questions like "Are older single men stigmatized" as the reeks of pop-psychology (In this case a few interviews, and a single statistic, and prices for one overpriced match maker) There are a few obvious extraneous variables to consider: 1) Socioeconomic background 2) Criminality 3) Sociability 4) Mental / Physical Health 5) Attractiveness rating 6) Race Control for all those variables (and probably more), and then attempt to find the effect of age and marital status on stigmatization.

There's a movement these days that a lot of men are not getting married, these are among the smartest men. A wife can fill a divorce for u even after she cheats for no reason, gets your house, alimony, your kids, and half your assets. it devastating for a men! Women need to respect men more, we don't have it easy, work is stressful; we would love to stay home to take care of kids and work part time and buy things we only want. Feminism was needed in the past, but now its all about superiority.

Because a lot of people see men like me as psychologically ill, gay or just plain awkward with women when none of those are in actuality true. The way I choose to live my life is just as normal as anyone else does and people need to understand that.

Looks like I am going to have to lie and tell women I went through a nasty divorce.

0:46 Dude in the background is like, "DAfuQ?!" LOL

So where do I fit in? I'm 37, never been married. I've had two serious relationships, one in which I was ring shopping, but both women broke MY heart, and left, both for different reasons. 1 cheated on me, only to get cheated on (serves her right). The one I was going to propose to admitted to me years later she was seriously messed up, and still is. Regardless, my heart was crushed, and the reason I'm still single is because I now have trust issues with women. Love 'em dearly, trust 'em, never!

I've met family members for the first time whose first question to me was "Are you married". When I tell them no their next question often is "What are you waiting for?" To them apparently, my marital status is the most important thing about me. Friends of my mother have asked her " Is he married YET?" Their view, apparently, is everyone's life goal is or should be to be married. Your NOT being married is to them, apparently, some type of failure to launch. I've decided when I visit the area where these relatives live, I'll seek out those people I WANT to see. Oh, Did I mention that I AM gay!!!....;-)

Men who have never been married lack the "social proof" that men who had been recently divorced had. They want to see that a woman has at least taken a chance on him. Personally, men in their 40s who haven't been married are probably the smartest of us all.

lol how is this any different from marriage? People still get divorced when they get tired of each other... The only difference is, you dont have to pay the expensive divorce process.

A: George Clooney has been married and divorced. He refuses to remarry. So technically he's in the divorcee category not the lifelong bachelor category. B: Is Wes Clark Jr. the General's son? Because I can't really see the family similarity and I didn't think of it before.

I dunno being unmarried sucks mainly because you don't experience all the good and fun of being married. It's like saying not going to public school is better than going, sure the kid not going will have plenty of reasons as to why he's happy he doesn't have to go, but 20 years down the line he'll be an adult who missed out on all the school yard fun, etc.

I'll tell you one thing marriage to me is overrated. I am so glad to be a free man and enjoying my life.

Nice catch!

I think they want the guy who has been married before because they figure he'll be easier to control.

and when it's an unmarried woman in her 40's, the call her an "Independent Woman" and cheer her on.

I've no patience for them. And I think we live in a shitty world. Bringing more people to live here is like torture.

4:04 Check out Michael laughing at Cenk's joke in the back right :D

The divorce rate is 50%, women file 70% of it. It would be awesome to be the stay home/part time "dad" get a divorce and take half "her" assets, wouldn't that be nice? "she take everything excuse" is a reality. What incentive is there for men to get married, why not have a girlfriend. Women are indeed stressed out, the full-time working women who i only have respect for that work & pay their share of the bills, now realize that work that men did for centuries is not as glamorous as they thought

Marriage is contrary to human nature, which is why many end in divorce. Sorry, but I'm the type of person who can and will get bored of a partner. Also, I want to travel, see the world, do risky things, etc. without having to get permission from a spouse. Not everybody wants to settle into the generic, family of four, two car garage, and a white picket fence lifestyle. That may be some people's definition of living the American dream, but to me its a suffocating nightmare.

I'm 45, never married. In an 18 year relationship. I love my family and give all I can. " I live you so much I want to get the law involved" said no man ever!!!!

That's truly fascinating.

It's so weird how deeply programmed that herd mentality is for most people, they think if they aren't side by side in every way with their peers they are going to die, dress the same, talk the same, live the same... and then what? It's actually very freeing when you let go of it all and stop caring.

Her name was Beth, she was the 'cool girl' back in high school -- one of the guys. Level headed, smart, the girlfriend of my best friend. Fast forward 32 years, I hear from my friend for the first time, he and Beth are still together, have a kid about 5, and are getting married soon. Imagine that, a woman willing to wait 32 years. THAT is a good woman. Take note.

John's reaction at 0:49 is wonderful. :D

I know a woman actually who has been married/divorces, said it was literally the worst thing to ever happen to her and that she only did it because of the social pressure to be married, said she has no plan of ever getting married again. Been with her current "boyfriend" for six years, own a house together, very happy. Some people just don't want to be married, some people don't want kids, we're not all the same, simple but society tries to force it on us.

Cohabiting couples are more likely to divorce than those couples who do not cohabitate...jus sayin'.

I'm in the same boat in a sense, I'm 21 It's like me when I decided to leave college while I further my career, people keep telling me "everyone else your age is getting ready to graduate already, what wrong with you?" Nothing... So what? is it necessary to all do things at the same time, or at all, the herd mentality is very destructive when focused on the wrong things. If you want to be married at 80 or not at all, I don't see the issue, but unfortunately the majority of America disagree's.

You can do all those things without a marriage contract. My parents did it after all. You don't need a piece of paper or some vows to prove your love or to approve of having kids.

You can't just simply not want a relationship anymore..

These people are definitely searching and digging for shit that doesn't make sense.

0:40 look at John's disgusted reaction lol he's so sweet

"just take your money and light it on fire" hahaha

Just because you're in your 30's and haven't been married, don't rush into it because you think "its time" and "you might not find someone better." My uncle did not get married until 38. He was divorced at 40.

the best way to put it. kudos to you sir

Yes, he's General Wes Clark's son. I see a lot of similarities in the facial structure actually.

Exactly, I'll guarantee they are as happy as can be and if they ever get married nothing will change except the rings on their fingers Marriage isn't some sort of proof of commitment, it's almost like holding someone hostage because divorce usually has such negative outcomes, so fear will keep them there more than anything; if they are faithful and ready to commit to making a relationship last, they will, whether you're married or not Your friend is definitely an example of a true relationship

Man I love this show! it is such a breath of fresh air to being stuck in this office most of the day.

Oh and I love how it HAS to be the mans fault.

Wes is always hilarious...please have him on more.

I'm not, they are. Guys are the one's singled out here, and the entire peice about saying women are the ones making these judgements. And no one in the media would be able to say there's something wrong with unmarried women without some visible vocal outrage... Don't need a man to be happy, strong and independent, blah-de-blah-de-blah.

When you're popular women can't get off you. It's completely irrational. Change situation, still the same guy, women won't even bother to look at you.

Why thank you, I do hope that I'll get the chance to put my own advice in practice. I'm rather busy with establishing my career (currently putting in anywhere from 40-60 hours per week between work / school), which has unfortunately come at a cost of my social life. But I'm glad that could help you with your dilemma.

The odd thing was after I got married and people knew I was married I got offered lots more sex from other women. The more I refused, the more they got turned on. My wife said the same thing happened to her, but not from other women. (-;

Same reaction from 3:18 of the "High-Tech spying loophole" video. check it out HAHAH

I'm 44 and have never been married. I'm not gay, I'm just not interested in giving up my freedom. I don't have to ask permission to anyone nor do I have to explain myself.

I just assumed that you meant since people were already making decisions about marriage based on what others thought already, it's okay to persuade them otherwise. My response was that of course people decide to get married or not based on external factors, but trying to convince some to get married or not to get married would be like trying to talk someone out of the kind of music they like. Or something along those lines.

In economics we call it the signalling theory
