Had enough of life la.
Alone is bestest.

Do anything no need responsible to anyone.. Freedom

The phrase single men is an umbrella term describing men who are never married, widowed, separated, or divorced. Interestingly, a large corpus of research indicates that single men have higher rates of mental health issues compared to married men and single women.

For example, a large-scale U.S. study found that unmarried men aged 40-60 were 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide compared to both similarly-aged married men and unmarried women.

Similarly, another large U.S. study found that unmarried men aged 40-75 years had a 2-fold risk of suicide compared to married men of the same age group.

Other research indicates that single men have higher rates of depression than married men. For example, one study found over double the rate of depression in single men (3.6 percent) compared to married men (1.7 percent). Other studies have found that single men have much higher rates of addictions than other demographics including married men and single women.

Stigmas and Stereotypes

Evidence suggests that a variety of factors intersect to increase the risk of mental health issues among single men. To start, recent research indicates that single men experience abnormally high rates of loneliness, which can leave them alienated and isolated from mainstream society. Such loneliness is a risk factor for a range of mental health issues including depression, substance abuse, and suicide.

This isolation does not occur in a social vacuum. While many men may choose a life of solitude, some single men may face harmful stigmas and stereotypes when trying to integrate into society.

For example, some research indicates that unmarried men of a certain age are typically perceived in unflattering terms, and sometimes considered an untamed threat to the moral social order. These stereotypes are embodied in archetypal fictional characters such as Svengali, Don Juan, and Lothario—depicting single men as a corruptive presence lurking in the shadows of civilized society.

Such stigmas and stereotypes can have harmful consequences, fueling policies and procedures that marginalize single men, young and old alike. For example, some aggressive campus campaigns against so-called "rape culture" have been criticized for implying that all single young men are potential brutes on the verge of pillage.

Worse still, some policies and procedures implicitly associate single men with pedophilia. One of the most egregious and well-documented examples of this phenomenon is a common airline policy that prohibits solo male passengers from sitting next to an unaccompanied minor, with such men being asked to swap seats with a female passenger. While very few men actually experience the humiliation of being asked to swap airline seats, this sexist policy is indicative of the wider societal suspicion targeted at single men, which can harm mental health.

The report says Unmarried..not "Single". Guys in their 40s can still be attached but not married. I'm 43 and my current GF is 30. Are we planning to get married, maybe not. We enjoy each other's company and also our alone time. Most of my secondary school friends are divorced (by most I mean around 65%, because of this tered I went and calculated), and the most stubborn one got divorced 3 times...and now he has a "partner" instead of wife.

1 of these secondary school friends was murdered by the spouse, so basically if you can say if the person didn't get married, the person will be alive and kicking now (ok, this is one of those extreme examples)

But I guess I am lucky, I've never met with any negative views on me being weird for not being married at my age. But on the flip side I have a lot of younger male friends asking why I know so many pretty girls and if I can intro to them. The  answer is always "networking" and no..I am not going to introduce to you hamsap fellas.

choosing to be alone is a matter of personal choice. I my self have been stop dating for 10 years and focus on my career, through out 10 years, i learnt and earned more then any of my married friends, i also learnt those who are insecure will need a partner either for companionship of financial.

Now i am in my early 40s, looking back what i have decided 10 years ago, i am glad i make that choice. Recently i started dating again, and yes there are plenty of ladies, every 3 months i get to date different girls and choose who i wanna settle down with.

My advice is, don't get desperate for a companionship, built up your career, financial portfolio, and invest at least 4 properties, automatically ladies will come along easily.

Agreed, that's the plan, no point following the majority marry early and have stunt growth or live a miserable life, worse if financial bottomline is severely impacted from divorce, men got no idea what they're getting into.

Once a good money base has been built, men will be swarmed in choices naturally. Start to reap the rewards, taste different snack whenever you wish, no contract, no obligation.

Exactly, i started dating since 2 years back, so many choices...some are young divorcee, some are wives of useless husbands, young graduates, property agents, insurance agents, bankers...it really open my eyes about Malaysian ladies. Do i still wanna settle down? the answer is No. From my own random dating lifestyle, Malaysian girls carry very little values, many do not even have a retirement plan, only 1 house and is still paying every month, very low buying power, and worst the self entitlement! Am i happy with my current lifestyle? Hell yeah and i wanna live and grow old gracefully.

Having Financial Freedom is also a very attractive attribute...and a sense of humour and being filial helps also. My GF is from Foshan (we meet due to work)..I guess when you find someone that can speak cantonese in Shanghai, you will become friends quite fast. Her family also is not rushing her to get married, the parents like me enough, and her family is a lot richer than mine. I have an apartment in Shanghai and also an apartment in Foshan, and that is about it for my investment in China. I don't own a car here because public transport is so convenient.

Some people might ask, you are in Shanghai, why didn't you get a Shanghai lady as GF.......well....there is a saying, if you want to get a life partner (for men looking for women) get a southern lady (Fujian, Guangdong) and for ladies looking for Hubby, get a Shanghai hubby.

Aren't those insurance or property agents out for making business deals rather than romance? I had dates with them and they end up telling me the business details in the restaurant, very irritating I want to leave. And yes they're pretty much useless, all they have is the body that earned them lots of attention, given enough time they think they're god, hence the entitlement. They truly rely on their physical to the max. Girls with actual substances are a bit tricky to find, at least they contribute to things other than physical.

That's my goal, i plan to achieve that freedom in late 20s, plan is already at late stage, once timing is ready in a few more months to 1 year, I'll harvest it then officially quit job and solely enjoy life, no job, no bs office politics, no work, never lift a finger anymore. Be extremely hardworking and plan meticulously during early years, only to be completely lazy later, a bit of irony huh

When i finally have all the time in the world, I'll dive into the possibility of finding life partner, some places include ukraine, columbia. And you gave me some places to start with, but what is the quality that makes them good?

An advise being alone for too long your entire life can develop suicidal thoughts. You'll start feeling disengaged and abandoned by society....

Yes, i was exploring different dating experiences from time to time. Maybe i am bias, but i had experienced so much in such a short time with different ladies and i can safely conclude, Malaysian ladies have very little value and yet demand a lot from their partner if compare to other regions i posted to such as China, Vietnam, Germany, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.

I do agree there are some fine ladies here, met a few of them. However, i can't stand being control by them. lol

Russia and White Russia are good place to date. But its all up to fate, cannot be too mechanical about dating also, not like choosing vege at pasar. So let fate do its work.
If it was up to me, I would avoid vietnam ladies.

ok. i'm in my early 40s. i can say based on my experience

ladies doesn't like losers. does this answer half of your question?
