I honestly don't know why but for a lot of women not having a boyfriend or a husband really affects them. In my opinion this could explain why women are far more likely to file for divorce because whether they admit or not that desire to be in a relationship and/or have children drive so many to just pick a guy for the sake of picking and then convince themselves that he has more green flags than red flags. Some my friends I asked myself how on earth did any woman agree to marry them. Their issues are so evident and no surprise that a few are either divorced or in unhappy marriages.

I had my kids because that was the natural order of things. College, career, husband, house, dog, kids. Checked those boxes off.
After the divorce I realized how incredibly happy I could be alone. How amazing it was to be completely and utterly selfish and it wouldn’t impact anyone and no one could judge me for the way I chose to live. I’ve been able to make decisions for me and do whatever I wanted to do. It’s incredibly freeing.
Kids are in college and will always come first but the freedom being alone brings is just amazing! I’d bet at least a few of those women the OP knows are single by choice. There comes a time when you can be pickier about a partner and if you’re living the good life a partner needs to bring a lot to the table to be worthy of adding them into your life.

Men are smart. There are things that really matter in a relationship, but your resume isn’t one of them.
I can’t be in a relationship with someone I can’t really talk to. Maybe these men just don’t really talk to or listen to women regardless, so it doesn’t matter to them.
