7 razões chocantes para os homens continuarem solteiros

Porque é que os homens preferem ficar solteiros?

É normal que, a partir de uma certa idade, os homens sintam a necessidade de assentar e de abandonar a vida de solteiro. Mas, nalguns casos, temos a síndrome de um ‘forever bachelor’ que parece ser cada vez mais popular no mundo moderno.

It’s not that men can’t find their soulmate, their pessoa para sempre. It’s just that they simply don’t want to. Life is so much easier when you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.

But let’s not forget—it has its upsides and its downsides too. What these forever single men won’t tell you is that there are moments in their lives when solitude becomes unbearable.

Provavelmente, a maior parte deles anseia profundamente por uma parceria, mas remendam esse desejo com um caso rápido para que tudo volte a melhorar.

Mas a última pergunta é: porque é que os homens querem ficar solteiros?

Eles querem ser livres

When you’re married, you don’t have the luxury to do whatever you want whenever you want it. You have to check with your wife, especially if you have kids. Kids are a huge responsibility, and you should be there for them whenever.

When you’re single, you’re free, and that’s what they crave the most. They can eat whatever they like and where they like. They can watch the game with their friends or go out in the middle of the night to grab a drink.

Simply put, you are the master of your own life. Some guys don’t want to lose that freedom. They want to be their own top priorities. On the one hand, that’s a good thing, but on the other, they are missing out on a lot.

Têm medo do compromisso

Marriage is all about trust and commitment and that can be scary for someone who isn’t positive about what he wants. These men are not sure of what they want and because of that they don’t want to commit.

Claro, provavelmente não estão conscientes do que estão a perder, porque o casamento pode ser uma coisa linda. Mas em vez de se concentrarem nas coisas positivas, estes homens concentram-se nas negativas, pelo que optam por ser solteiros.

Acham que uma pessoa não é suficiente

There are men who simply think that spending your life with one person is not a natural thing. They don’t want to get married because they are already sure that o casamento acabará definitivamente em divórcio.

Por isso, optam por ficar solteiros em vez de discutirem, não terem relações sexuais e gastarem muito dinheiro num divórcio.

They don’t want to lose the excitement

A maior parte dos homens pensa que quando se casam ou entram num relação de compromisso, they are done with adventures and excitement. First of all, that so doesn’t have to be the truth, and second of all, that is really not a valid reason to stay single.

But, as they say, they don’t want to lose the excitement. They want to be able to get up in the morning, start their car and drive up to the mountains if they feel like it.

Also, they don’t want to lose the excitement of doing something for the first time. Now, it becomes more clear why they choose to be single. They don’t want to lose the feeling of the first kiss or the first sex with a new partner.

It’s great doing all of those things with your wife or your long term girlfriend, but it’s simply not the same. That is how they look at things.

Acham as relações difíceis

Some men just don’t know how to handle the stress of a relationship. For them, it’s so hard to maintain a good and strong relationship without spending too much energy.

It’s more of an obligation than a pleasure for these men to be in a relationship, and that’s why they avoid it. The truth is, all relationships are hard, but the outcome and the love you get should make them easier.

Nunca cresceram realmente

Some men just never actually grew up, and it’s only logical they are not capable of taking care of someone else. And if you get married, you have children; ergo, you have to take care of them and not yourself anymore.

Alguns homens são egoístas e querem continuar a ser o centro das atenções porque gostam de ser assim.

They simply don’t believe in marriage

Maybe some of them had a bad experience when they were younger. Maybe their parents split and they saw problems in marriage as children which they weren’t supposed to see.

They didn’t have a good example of a healthy relationship growing up, and it’s only logical they reject it later on in their grown up life.
