Is it wrong to be single? Absolutely not.
As monks and hermits and maiden aunts have known for millennia, being alone can be wonderful. Many of us prefer our own company. I myself am more introverted than not.
I hang out with friends and I date. I love people I’m close to but I also crave time alone. To read, to think, to play video games… the last few weeks I’ve been into Stardew Valley. It seems to help counteract the pandemic stress… but I digress.
My point was, if a man desires to be alone, or to casually date many women without getting serious with any of them, that isn’t wrong. It’s his choice. A man should not be judged for not wanting to settle down.

The modern women does not want to be seen as merely a soft organic casing around a vagina.
Even women back in the Stone Age wanted more than that. It’s unfortunate that in many cultures women had no options but to accept their role…
