That makes absolutely no sense. I have never been in a realationship with someone who wasn't intelligent. Stupid is a nonstarter. Don't assume people shopping alone are single. Most couples l know don't shop together very often.

I'm 54, and surprised by the number of female F.B. friends from my h.s. who have apparently given up on guys! We must suck!

Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I believe it's got a lot to do with wages and people's lack of optimism.
Job security for many people is crap compared to a few decades ago. Home ownership was just a path to financial ruin for lots of folks. Combine that with stagnant wages, and the knowledge that divorce is utterly common... They're not dumb or lazy. They are actually pretty smart and observant.

We've created a generation that knows the old "War Games" lesson, "the only winning move is not to play."

I think there are less barriers to being single now. Women can drive and own property and no longer must have a man. People that don't cook can have a hot meal at home in less than 10 minutes.

The more relationships Im in, the smarter being single seems.

All the intelligent women who have gone out with me are still single.

It's better to be happy and single, than married and miserable. I don't need a man to complete me.

Many men my age want a "mommy" to take care of them- doing all the cooking and cleaning- and great sex. No, thanks.

Since age 21, I have worked out in a gym alone. I only work out with a friend if they know their own routine.

"You can whip me into shape," overweight men suggest. "Hire a trainer," I reply. "You would resent me if I nagged. I wouldn't get a workout if I spent all my time coaching you."

Honestly not sure...
