Even when lonely spinsters meet lonely bachelors, the spinsters will start misbehaving like she is doing the bachelor a favour. I know how to send those types back into the lonely market.

Born child and train them don’t let woman pressure kill all because to satisfy what people will say , you’re alive that’s why they are talking ,if you die today no one will remember you again ,just live your life
But make sure you get the big bag �
You are my kind of guy. I ve 3 boys from 3 different ladies. None stays with me but I have weekends to stay with all my kids together. Any of the baby mama that fails to bring over my son on weekend or holiday will lose the child. I don't care.No marriage for me.

OP, see, it wasn't just me who found something off about the description you gave of that friend of yours. undecided
I understand your point. I guess dude is very lonely but also scared of commitment. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought he was impotent/gay. Truth is that some bachelors are scared of commitment and have turned their girlfriends to lord of the rings. Some don’t really care and living their best life.

When I was taking my kids to their grandpa few days ago to spend the remainder of their holidays I was so happy! Coupled with the fact that my wife was also traveling the following day, my joy knew no bounds. Finally the peace and freedom I craved was here!

This weekend my home didn’t feel happy! It was sad and lonely. I felt cold loneliness throughout. I tried everything I could to distract myself but I miss my family so bad!

I miss our little quarrels, our eventual understanding and acceptance of each other using truce keeping.

I miss their mum badly. This made me wonder? How do older bachelors cope in this very lonely world? Una dey try o... respect.

Don't compare yourself with others.

You married for companionship among other things.

Enjoy it.

I don't get it.... should a "lonely" spinster latch onto any available male that comes her way or what? undecided

You folks need to get your heads probably screwed on right. Just cause a person is lonely does not mean the person no longer has standards. undecided

Fear of commitment is a psychological problem that requires looking into. Not all bachelor are simply so because they are scared of commitment... you forget marriage is itself a choice, not a mandate. undecided

Jesus Christ put it beautifully, when asked about marriage, He said, ..."some are created Eunuchs, some become Eunuchs, some choose to be Eunuchs.." undecided

I used to enjoy my time alone in the house when I was a bachelor, but when I married and had children it became a different ball game. If they are not in the house for one day I immediately feel lonely and crave for their company

I beg to differ sir!

Merely seeing friends/family that are married then Bachelors know what they are missing.

I have a very close friend who is a 43 year old bachelor and he has turned my kids to his kids...

Dude calls me way ahead of time to discuss how he would celebrate my kid’s birthday (without asking for his help o)

We (Me and wife) tried hooking him up a lot of times but he was very choosy. The last girl we hooked him up with (That appeared to be perfect. 24 year old Young lawyer Who just finished law college) he said she had incision at her back and that was it...

He confided in me sometime ago that he envies me a lot, and that he knows something is missing in his life, which is having a family.

Reason he had been treating my family like his.

Truth is: Bachelor’s know they are lonely, and they miss having a family.

Just as married folks miss being single especially after a hard day's work you just want to lie down and wifey is asking you "who is Femi?"

They probably have other things they spend their time with or they get involved with other vibes in the society as a correct older bachelor would do sometimes. I think one way or the other they get something to occupy the space/gap with the different things that keep them alive.
you are on point guy man.

Ashamed? You better go get some counseling, and no, not from pastors and Imams but from a reputable professional. undecided

If your self-worth is tied to what you have or whether you are married or not, then you are in need of help possibly through counseling . undecided

Don’t be ashamed sir! Marriage is not all rosy all the time, there are ups and downs. Marriage is also not an accomplishment. At your own time, you shall be fulfilled.

I can't stop laughing here because of your old bachelor friend grin See, you just have to be careful with that guy. He needs a woman sent from heaven because as far as this earth is concern, he can't find a perfect woman. At 43, he's not married yet selecting women. I don't know who should be selecting who here.

It's because you're already used to their company. Bachelor's love their solitude, it helps a lot of them stay productive and well rested.

I'll not trade solitude for anything.
