Recently, I bashed an old single man online for posting a meme that "no matter how boring life becomes, do not get married." It got me wondering why the number of men opting to live and die single is increasing by the day. The fact that they are enjoying what came with a stigma in the past shows just how much things have changed.
A few months ago, a senior government official died in middle age very single. It is a trend that is now becoming common. First, it was men opting to postpone marriage until in their mid-thirties. Then it seems that some became comfortable and opted to push the search for a better half into their forties. As they bought more time, they realized that life was not bad being alone after all.
