There is no such thing. There is undesirable but involuntary
Religion has been on a decline for years now. The concept of "god" is highly outdated especially with how far science has come these days. Many people are waking up realizing you don't pray to whatever "god" you believe in and get what you want. You go out there and figure it out. You basically sell yourself to get further in life. If you haven't worked for a large corp you don't understand how they work and I won't elaborate on that. Join any "industry" and it comes with its open secrets that are hush hush and typically involve signing a NDA. At the end of the day peoples happiness is determined by their opinions and morals. Quite a few people quit/resign high paying positions due to the stress and the impact morale can have on them. Not to mention it's a game in the sense others are always trying to dethrone ya and get to the top. It's not something every human can handle and some are more empathetic so they don't want to chase money or fame.
The sad part about some churches or religion groups is the agenda they push and how they try and make people sometimes feel bad. Either way a "single" person doesn't make it far in life without help from investors and knowing how to sell if you want a certain amount of wealth. The poor bitch so and so "sold out" but perhaps they want a lifestyle they dreamed about because after death nobody comes back. The concept of heaven/hell is highly outdated too. And other religions have their own after death beliefs. People switch religions at times because their opinions change and what not. Fear has always been a great motivator and generally works. How many gays, etc. left certain churches to ones that said there's nothing wrong with them being gay and "god" accepts them as is.
Most of the time all these online polls and sources swing either way and some people generally base things through their own experiences. You find a couple married for 20/30 years who still enjoy each other while others are miserable. Not everyone is gonna live some "dream" life they created in their head by watching tv/reading books or whatever.
And with medicine advancement more people are open to being in open relationships perhaps hoping to bump into someone who they really connect with otherwise they are typically fine alone. Some men would rather just pay for the service and if they aren't financially in a decent position single they might look for another guy to partner up with to balance their lifestyle. Once again leaning towards "corporation" mindset. And some people are sensitive or tend to spend what they make for today and if someone has a hard time understanding that or wanting to be with someone like that then find someone who's more so conservative financially.
Bottom line is it's annoying when people push stuff on others or say to someone they should have babies. Nobody should be going around telling others how they want to live their life or how they spend their money. Unfortunately, we live in a world where poor and poverty exists and that will never change. Most Westerns probably haven't gone to third world countries and good luck trying to fix it. There's no magical eutopia where perhaps money doesn't exists and people go around doing stuff for free and food supply magically is endless. People bitch about organic food, but science has helped things last longer because with global issues effecting food supply chains would you rather see first world nations dealing with stuff like famine? Has this lead to increase in cancer? Of course, but that's just how it goes. Some of us will never get cancer or others who even eat healthy will get it in their teens and pass away. Poor people in terms of those who want to just spend for today generally don't it make that far in life and struggle. Should the government constantly bail them out? The economy would collapse like how it is in other nations where the cost of bread is like $10 or $20 or whatever based on their own currency. People need to get a basic education about how money and an economy works. The hippie mindset (which I also was going through in my 20s) isn't the solution. And we all know about corruption that exists and hear about it. A genuine honest person doesn't it make far in life. Monks are a prime example and others.
The happiness people generally seek is based on how they want to live their life in accordance with stress. Some will take meds for it which can effect their body while others who once were CEOs quit and go work at some min wage job or something. Perhaps they leave their wife too because she wants that high standard of living and they are just done with it and being materialistic along with trying to impress others. Look at Steve Jobs for example perhaps the stress of being a CEO caused his cancer and/or his diet. And he refused certain medical treatment which could have prolonged his life.
Like anything there's tons of factors at play but it's really not that complicated. If a single person making enough living in some small place is content and prefers going to the library to read books for free then all to them. How many people here have also bought stupid stuff? What made you decide to buy it? Do you really need more than lets say 3 coffee mugs at your place? If people didn't spend and hoarded their funds that would ruin things.
Also with the rise of AI many more jobs including stuff like admin assistant and lawyers will decline. Most of the time even writing something on a piece of paper, dated and signed and perhaps with a witness signing too is enough to be deemed a contract. Law firms that do better than others generally seek work with a better payout and use certain tactics typically because money is a tool that can help out the rich. The world has its issues and some protest against the system and what not and others dislike certain protestors.
At an older age I'd never tell my 2 kids once they are adults to get married or have kids because I want to see grandkids before I pass away. Comes across selfish and narcissistic.

This is an excellent analysis, Jeff2.
A couple of things are going to be very interesting to watch in American politics and economics the next few years.
A great number of current American policies will likely prove detrimental in the female versus male never ending somewhat friendly skirmish.
The one most reported on is the reduction in high-paying government administrative jobs often filled by educated women. They do indeed have a union aspect as you indicated. This is being coupled with the tarriff-induced attempt to bring heavy manufacturing back to the U.S., which will theoretically benefit men.
But a less reported on thing to consider is food affordability and availability.
It is simply a basic fact that Single Life is much easier to survive in now than it was decades ago because you spend a smaller portion of your income on food now compared to back then. It is less expensive to feed two people on a “per person” basis than it is to feed one person. And there didn’t used to be as many restaurants to help accomplish that result by feeding many people at once.
One of my favorite American government leaders was Earl Butz, who promoted policies that has helped the world feed 8 Billion people (a feat once considered impossible as indicated in a previous post), and he spoke, although somewhat ineloquently, about the importance of comfortable shoes, a warm place to take a shit, and a tight vagina into which to ejaculate.
Funny and combative to the end, they wheeled him to an interview in King Corn, a documentary about High Fructose Corn Syrup, and the old bastard knew the inflation adjusted cost of a cheeseburger over the years and its percentage of a typical family income.
Food inflation is already high, and could get worse with Trump deporting so many immigrants who work in Agriculture, and RFK Jr. interfering with the components of the food chain.
I hope it doesn’t happen obviously, but food affordability could drive marriages up between the higher percentage of those hopelessly romantic single men mentioned in the article and those many single women the article says are not looking for romance, or to do cooking for two. I suppose some of those men would have an Earl Butz approved tight vagina into which to ejaculate, at least for a while - until the divorces occur after people realize you can’t feed 8 Billion people with healthy food and grass-fed cows, and things go back to the way they were.
The US government making a lot of cuts already seem due to the rise of AI. The liberal/democratic mindset will be to keep those jobs and fork out money. It's the typical lowering US debt debate that's been happening for decades now. A lot of companies are already trying to get their high paying educated workers to create or work along side someone so the work down the road gets automated and the smart ones are prolonging the transition because they know they will be easily laid off. And of course manager or whatever will say that's not true no different than people training someone down in Mexico or overseas and then people walk in one day and find out they have been laid off.
Many single men are unhappy because they have to do dishes and laundry, and they have to get up and go to the fridge if they want another beer while watching the game on TV.
If you continue to diss me, you'll get lots of likes from Jenesis.
