Since I don't need to leave just yet, I read a few of the articles posted here including the one just posted by Rose and while I understand where they're coming from, I don't fully agree with them.
These articles seem to assume the man in question is part of the majority (grew up with stable families, followers of faith and God, no significant hardships in their lives, particularly during childhood, white picket fence, ECT), which in turn, doesn't apply to everybody.
I personally don't desire a "normal" life with a wife and kids and everything else; in fact, I don't want kids at all because I don't want to have to sacrifice my own personal self interest to take care of another person. I also don't want marriage because I want to focus more on my entrepreneurial goals and when I eventually become a millionaire (which I fully intend on doing before I am age 30), I refuse to get married because I don't want the wife coming in and divorcing me and taking half of the assets that I earn.
Not to mention, I'm both a heavy introvert (INTJ personality type in particular which is 2% of the population) and a heavy gamer which is a hobby that I am so serious about that I plan on starting a video game company, an eSports team, or a company that manufactures game systems or hardware one day. I'm also heavy into things like anime and cosplay and other more "nerdy" things that the majority couldn't care less about and since these are among the few things that bring me joy, I refuse to sacrifice doing them for a stupid relationship.
I'm also an Atheist who believes that organized religion is a scam that the rich use to enslave the poor so that belief alone is the polar opposite of what this guide entails the "perfect married man" to be.
So yeah, these articles that ASSUME that every human being is wired the same way and needs the same things are flawed indeed.
