Do men want to get married? Why do men reject the idea of a long-term relationship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rollo Tomassi, the author of The Rational Male<\/em>, men have a natural tendency to seek multiple partners throughout their life and thus have no urge to settle down. Women, however, are more likely to seek a committed relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s why men don’t want to settle down, according to Tomassi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Men Don\u2019t Need to Get Married<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The feminine agenda upholds monogamous, committed relationships as the ultimate achievement in our culture<\/strong>. Men are led to believe that they have one true soulmate and it\u2019s up to them to find that elusive \u201cone\u201d and settle down. But do men want to get married?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Many areas of our culture promote belief in a soulmate, including films, books, magazines, and television shows. For example, the reality show The Bachelor<\/em> showcases a single man who dates several women to find his true love<\/a>. Many religious traditions also bolster the soulmate belief<\/a>, downplaying the importance of economic or social compatibility in favor of a spiritual connection.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fantasy that men want to get married, Tomassi asserts, has two effects. First, it undermines men\u2019s natural tendencies to seek out multiple sexual partners without attachment<\/strong>. When they buy into the bogus notion that there is one perfect woman for them, they invest precious emotional and financial resources in pursuit of that one treasure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, it causes men to desperately hunt for their soulmate <\/strong>so they can fulfill the cultural expectation to get attached and settle down. <\/strong>Consequently, Tomassi says, a man often settles for a woman who is not a good match. And then he invests more into that relationship\u2014trying to buy love, and fix himself or his partner\u2014instead of cutting his losses and walking away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: How prevalent is the belief in a soulmate, and how many people truly invest their emotional and financial resources into finding theirs? According to research, 73 percent of Americans believe their happiness depends on finding their predestined soulmate<\/a>. As Tomassi says, this belief can have negative effects. People who believe they are fulfilling their destiny by committing to their assumed soulmate are more likely to lose interest in their partner and give up when any challenges surface in the relationship. To reduce your chances of suffering disillusionment that leads to painful breakups, stop trying to fulfill an unrealistic fantasy. Instead, focus on building an authentic, meaningful connection with a person with compatible interests.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men need to stop believing there is only one perfect match out there for them and that a committed, monogamous relationship<\/a> is their duty or destiny: They can settle down if they want to, but it\u2019s not a mandate. Tomassi cautions that the idea of men getting married forces a man to sacrifice his sexual strategy in favor of a woman\u2019s. Thus, the man surrenders, to a large degree, his options and freedom. Men remain sexually desirable well into old age, and they can live happy, fulfilled lives without locking themselves into a committed relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Married People Happier?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at what research says about Tomassi\u2019s assertion that single men who heed their \u201cnatural\u201d instinct to eschew attachment can be just as happy as married people. Some research shows that married people tend to be happier, healthier, and live longer than single people<\/a>. Breaking this finding down further, marriage seems to make women happier than men but provides more health benefits to men than women. Arguably, these benefits to health and happiness<\/a> could outweigh the loss of options and freedom that Tomassi associates with marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many complicating factors prevent us from making any direct causal connections between marriage and life outcomes. For example, a tumultuous, abusive marriage will not foster happiness. And given that married people are more likely to have health insurance, improved health outcomes may be linked with access to health care rather than support and nurturing from a partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other research has found that single people are more likely than married people to have deep, rewarding relationships with their friends, family members, and colleagues. When singles proactively pursue those social connections, their happiness can exceed that of married people<\/a>. So, a strong social network can outweigh the benefits of having a committed, long-term partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, new research indicates that single women are generally more satisfied with their singlehood than men<\/a>. Men who are older, more educated, and in worse health report the lowest levels of satisfaction with their single status. Hence, while Tomassi is right that men don\u2019t need<\/em> to get married to be fulfilled, they should carefully evaluate their priorities when choosing singlehood or marriage (an idea Tomassi would likely also agree with, as we\u2019ll see next). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
