The Single Shall Inherit The Earth
Despite the prevailing stereotype that women live in a candy-colored fantasy world with unrealistic relationship expectations, a new book by "playboy" Carl Weisman says that over 30% of confirmed bachelors avoid marriage because they "won't settle for anything less than perfection," reports Reuters. Weisman's book, So Why Have You Never Been Married?: 10 Insights Into Why He Hasn't Wed, includes a survey of 1,533 heterosexual men discussing why they've never tied the knot. They not only fear marrying the wrong person, they also fear losing their money in a messy split. Of course, the implication is that these men remain bachelors by choice, and not by circumstance, enjoying the swinging single life as long as their graying bodies hold out. Often the stereotype of single women is that they are desperate to wed, though according to the Telegraph, that Bridget Jones-ian preconception might be shifting, at least across the pond. More »
