Fewer Bachelors

juuge · 20-01-2008 10:42PM #1

Are there as many bachelors today as there was say thirty years ago?
Or is it now the case that if a man is not married to a woman he is presumed to be gay?

I think it's always pretty much taken for granted that if a man is married and it isn't to a woman there is a presumption of gayness.

OP was this a serious question in any way?

A serious answer would be yes there are more bachelors as there is a high population and low marriage rate in Ireland see above for all the none serious answers.

Do you believe that "bachelors" should be allowed to adopt?

No, they'll only turn the children into beans.

theres less now coz us fellas are sexier than back in the 80s or whenever. the wimminz cant resist us!!! :eek:

jdivision · 21-01-2008 02:36PM

Given any man who's not married is a bachelor I'd imagine there might be one or two of them around! Including me.

prendy · 21-01-2008 02:40PM

"Bachelor" has particular connotations in this country - rural guy, still living with his father, first in line for the farm etc. I presume there aren't as many of those around today as there were in the 1950s (could be wrong) but there are probably more single men today because people got settled down younger back in the day.

well seeing as more and more people are seperating i'd reckon theres MORE bachelors than 30yrs ago. the real news though is theres WAY more spinsters. its a buyers market now for blokes as the girls out number us.

who'da hell would get married in that enviroment

No, you can only split the lad 12 ways so many times before there's no land left to share. Now the favorite son gets the land and lives the high life driving his big fancy 4 be 4 to and from markets, awash with cattle and the like. They make me sick.

More people too, though I suppose the question is really be what % of men are unmarried.

People get married later in life now, and some wont bother at all. I am surprised at the number of mates who do get married. esp. with the separation/divorce these days. I would want to live with someone a good 5-10years, but know some getting married after only meeting 1-2 years.

And it takes 2 to tango, just as many "spinsters", weird word that, you sometimes hear bachelor in a good light, like "eddie ervine the jetsetting bachelor", but never spinster, never even heard "eligible spinster".

But I must say I find more females looking for partners than men, so as they outnumber lads it really is a "buyers market" as said.

Not if your going to marry me or a hot foreign chick. (btw I think your safe where I am concerned)
Living together for up on a decade for the sake of being able to afford the helicopter, chocolate fountain and the chair covers is not for me.

Sadly not, over here they are kind of like pimps, albeit pimps with less fashion sense, a big stick and wellies doesn't trump a pimp-cane and a pair of stompin' pimpin' shoes. I stilll think the tweed cap is better than the pimp hat, but thats just me.

i think he's more worried about losing his gaff and/or everything he's ever bought in his life

guys do NOT do well in divorce in this country.

in fact i have to say i only know ONE guy in my generation whos happily married. everyone else is seperated or divorced. thems bad odds

Fewer Bachelors
