Moose, we live in a conservative society, where conventions dictate normality.
I suppose when you present as a '40 something year old man' without a wife or children, people will ask questions.
It is your choice to choose a life without a wife but don't get defensive when your motives are brought into play.
Bottom line, the perception is; if you don't have a wife and family by the time you are forty you are either gay, incredibly-selfish or women think you so annoying they couldn't bear to spend a life with you!
Just my opinion, not hating!
Self absorbed.
I don't know your age...don't care.
Most guys my age are divorced or want to be.
THAT is the reality.
Since my professional and entrepreneurial paths have been so all-encompassing and time consuming, THEY are my wives.
Really not hard to understand.
In the successful world, many are like me.
And it is not perception, it is interpretation...there is a difference.
And one does not always 'choose' a life path.
It often takes on a life of its own, the way it should, without design.
Design=the breeding ground of tragedy for the moosejays of the world.
I was just prescient enough to to positrack myself from the get go.
I have wasted no time in my life.
Marriage.
Why do something everyone can and likely will do?
Anyway, what does any of this matter.
I am merely here to banter and to disseminate info.
Nothing more, nothing less.
