Experienced divorce lawyer here (Pennsylvania and New Jersey). Marriage is an outdated technology. Most of my inner circle friends are professional, unmarried (divorced or never married) guys over 50 who date and travel with beautiful women but do not cohabitate. All of my male divorced friends and former divorce clients will never get remarried. Once you have tasted the freedom and bliss of joyfully dong the things you love, whenever you want, with whomever you want, there is no turning back. Great video!
Yes it's easy to see how outdated it really is with all the people getting divorces after 30+ years of being married. Women especially just don't love their spouses for life anymore or think there's something better out there (which usually there isn't!) By about age 32-33 I knew I wasn't the marrying kind. That was 34-35 years ago.
Really appreciate your opinion. The freedom is really what I appreciate also. I was in a relationship for 20 years with heroin. 2 years clean. I have dated many women even during that time. I am lucky to have no kids and actual really good health, healthy blood work no STDs. Got all my credit cards paid off own my car outright and am half owner (with an uncle who's 82 who's leaving me his half when he dies, and he has a trust already done)of a older house and huge garage on 3 acres 5 minutes away from Olympia Washington and 45 minutes away from Seattle. I only have to work 10 hours a week on average and can easily afford all my bills. Because I live around tons of rich people there's a great food bank in my town and I eat like a king. Tons of goat cheese wild caught salmon lamb fresh fruit and vegetables and a bunch of frozen fruit to make smoothies in the morning. I have time to work on my art, I breed different strains of plants grow my own medicines, have a huge garage I work on stuff inside and have a mini half pipe inside. I should probably get a full-time job again pretty soon but it just doesn't tempt me that much. I'm not trying to brag at all I'm just seriously seriously grateful and love my freedom. My future's so Bright I gotta Wear shades 😎. God bless all good men 🙏
I was once asked about my stress level and I told the Dr that I had no stress in my home life. She looked at me kind of shocked. I'm a bachelor and my time is mine to spend as I wish. It's definately not lonely, but it is real nice live my life without compromise and on my terms. Have a great day Jim!
Being married & having kids is so overrated, for real. Nothing beats my freedom and I'm not willing to give that away. I see people going through hell and back due to financial struggle just because they have to pull a carriage that society impose on them.
@@notimefornonsense722 Hey notimefornonsense. Thank you for watching my video and I appreciate your comment. I agree, freedom is important to me. At this point in my life, I’m pretty sure I won’t get married. Lol. Thanks for your support!
@elsynjogu7578 i wasn't missing anything, believe me...😃. Besides in my communist country they were forced to have kids. I wasn't a wanted kid so where is the point?
The last single mother I dated, I wasn't interested in " waiting and building a relationship " bullshit. We slept together the night of the first date. Guys don't have time for that.
Functional adults don't require another person to cherish or miss them. That's for a person who hasn't learned to be good company for themselves, and doesn't understand the difference between alone and lonely.
I would assume most bachelors already have friends and family members so I don't see why it is sad if one chooses to not get married. Different strokes for different folks.
It's to each their own. I have a beautiful, loving wife and a 2 year old son. We share financial, parental, household duties etc. Seeing my son running to me coming from work is the best feeling in the world.I still have time to play golf, go fishing and I encourage my wife to do the same with her hobbies. It's about compromise. Some people are married and sad, some are happy, the same with single people, some are happy and some not. Internal hapiness is inherent, hereditary, so it can't really be attributed to being single or not. Anyways, as long as any person is contributing to the world in a good way, I could care less if they're single or not.
There's always pros & cons to everything. But for me with divorce rates so high why risk losing so much if your marriage ends? I prefer to have less & own it fully than to have more with a partner & then lose it all with a divorce.
I'm 58 and never been married myself. I'm in a relationship right now for 14 years but no children either and I had fibroids at 29 and then at 31 a myomectomy and then at 41 a hysterectomy. ZERO REGRETS.
My brother is 53....never married, no kids. He's had a fling here & there (rarely, actually) but nobody stuck. Now my youngest is a 28 year old bachelor, about to give up on women. They're both heterosexual, they want a woman....but don't like their attitudes.
I’m going to share this video with my youngest son. He is a 30 yr old Bachelor who has no problem finding a girlfriend. He claims he doesn’t want to get tied down, loves his freedom, and the responsibility of children scare him mainly because of the current times we live in.🫣 He also claims women are to complicated (confusing). As a woman, I’d have to agree, women are complicated and have difficulty keeping it simple. I’ve been married to the same man for over 30 years because he keeps it simple, and I really appreciate him for that. Thank you for sharing, make it a great day! 👏🏼💪🏼❤️
Hey CDC Dogs! Thank you for watching my video and I really appreciate your comment. Being open-minded has really helped me enjoy the times when I'm in a relationship/dating and when I'm not. Basically just having a good attitude. Thanks for your support!
I am the Forever Bachelor!! Did a 7 day river rafting trip through the Grand canyon two weeks ago and today I'm back from a week beachside camping San Diego. Best decision of my life was not getting married!! I enjoy women but don't take them serious, great way to lose your wallet. Timmy C Arizona 59.
Just turned 61 and I have never married. Straight white male, have had numerous girlfriends but never wanted to enter into a contract with any of them. I believe I wouldn't have been able to retire at 50 if I had taken on a wife. My days are filled with doing things I want to do. Pure freedom. I am a loner by nature and prefer solitude with the exception of having dogs. It is amazing how clearly you can think without interruptions and having to do things you don't want to do. I always get a kick out of talking to married guys when they ask why I'm not married. I always respond "Sure, it would be nice to have sex whenever you want it....." That always seems to spark some soul searching in them.
It reminds me of a meme I saw with 2 long-beaked birds where one looks like it is squawking at the other. The caption reads "I don't know much about birds, but I know which one is the wife".
This IS the best option for most self respecting men now. How is not being in a 'relationship,' considering being in a co habitation relationship, a con?
Hey ICFUBAR. My “con” statement was way too broad. Lol. I just meant, sometimes I miss the companionship. But I choose to continue not to date because overall, I’m happy. Thank you for watching my video and I appreciate the support.
@@JimAgate I got your drift. It's a different being and conversation with a gal than with the guys and sometimes we might miss the former.... but at our own peril.
FREEDOM both personal and financial is the biggest benefit. Settling down is usually toxic as is living with someone or vice versa. I wouldn't consider it these days. Most in my age group (mid 60s) are turning into old ladies before their time with their negative wavelength mostly complaining how rough it is being old. If it isn't that they're always talking about their saintly grandchildren which I have no interest in. Being unattached is the best choice no matter your age group.
You don’t really know the pros and cons because you’ve never been in a real relationship with kids. You are missing a lot, and I hope you don’t stay alone much older with no one to care about you or for you.
@@toddsickinger3934 Hey Todd. Thank you for watching my video and i appreciate your comment. I’ve always been open-minded, so maybe some day I will settle down. Thanks for your support.
I respectfully disagree. There are folks out there (myself included) who love the freedom of living alone and don't feel lonely doing so. Keep in mind also that married people can be lonely, too.
@@Black-Circle Maybe for some people, but not everyone. Besides, a bachelor can still get together with friends to go out to eat, catch a game, concert, etc. I, personally can go either way. I treasure my alone time.
That you've had many girl friends along the way, that's good. Not having kids is good too. The freedom is precious, as you do what ever the hell you want without someone there to complain if they don't agree. Yeah, between girl friends are times when they are missed and could be useful.
Hey Tensionality EFex! Thank you for watching my videos. The bachelor life definitely gets lonely sometimes, but it definitely has its advantages. Lol. Thank you for your support.
Yeah, I hate when society pressures people to get married, have kids, etc. I think everyone should be so free to choose the life they want to live. I'm almost 50 and hearing people asking me if I'm not scared of growing old alone is driving me crazy. No I'm not scared , I'm wild and free I do what I want, when I want.
@@notimefornonsense722 yeah, people ask me that same question: Am I scared of growing old alone. I stay busy, I’ll be fine! Thanks again for your support!
