50, never married, no kids, no gf since basically early 30is.  while not a perfect life, compared to my age cohort men who did the "thing that society expected to do" (aka. weak and easily influenced pussies..) i am golden.  nothing sucks more then having to restart your life in your late 40is or 50is from scratch because wifey got bored or thought she missed out on something in her life (mostly those couples being together since school...). suddenly you are not only old, creaky but also fucking broke and up the the lower lip in debt and monthly payments. jesus, i wonder why not more men off themselves. anyway, not perfect, but way better than the alternative.
