Why don’t some men get married? Their answers may surprise you.
Some unmarried men feel deficient, while others adapt and acclimate to singlehood.Source: Image by Vilius Kukanauskas from Pixabay, some men choose to stay single to enjoy the freedoms that come with flexibility. Others would much prefer to share their bachelor pad with a partner. What makes the difference? Research reveals some common themes as single men share their sentiments.Marta Mrozowicz-Wrońska et al.
Although their study was conducted on men living in Poland, a cultural context they describe as characterized by “a strong adherence to heterosexual marriage and weak approval of cohabitation and living single,” the results could very well translate to other cultures or communities with similar social sentiments. Consider the relevance of the individual themes, each of which could be challenged by a prospective partner offering unconditional respect, validation, and expressed acceptance..
Mrozowicz-Wrońska et al. note also, however, that many of the single men in their study expressed an unmet need for, as well as missing the chance to enjoy family life with a partner and children. And because men place high value on the need for romantic connection, the lack of physical and emotional intimacy was described by study participants as one of the most painful experiences of singlehood.
The experience of flying solo should not be dominated by looking for a runway. For singles comfortable with their status, in terms of future prospects, the sky is the limit.Mrozowicz-Wrońska, Marta, Kamil Janowicz, Emilia Soroko, and Katarzyna Adamczyk. 2023. “Let’s Talk about Single Men: A Qualitative Investigation of Never Married Men’s Experiences of Singlehood.” Sex Roles: A Journal of Research 89 : 360–76. doi:10.1007/s11199-023-01380-y.
