I know an inordinate number of straight women who never married—most of them educated with great jobs (which may, sadly, be part of the reason).
I don’t know any straight men over about 35, however, who never married.

In my hometown, the majority of straight men usually didn’t marry until over 40–and that was usually to someone half their age. It’s a college town where females outnumber males. This was true while I was growing up and whenI went back for my 30 year hs reunion it was still true. A bunch of 48 year old men just starting families with their young wives.

I don’t know any unmarried straight men and of the few married straight men I know, the wives appear to be running the show in all but one case. In that one case the two parties seem to be happily joined at the hip. Either there’s a lot more male passivity out there than we hear about or my sample is skewed.

I have a cousin who is an incel. He's 40, has never been in a serious relationship and went from living in his mother's basement to his sister's basement. He has a good job, but he repels women. I'm pretty sure he's never had sex. I know he frequents strip clubs. His sister is worried he's going to go off the deep end one day.

I've known some. Occasionally there was something exotic in their background, like a lost love they never got over, but more often they had severe depression and/or problems with addiction. Or their refusal to have kids busted up their most serious relationships.

I have a couple of cousins in their mid-40s who didn’t marry, but have been shacked up with a women for years, so I don’t think they count as single. There’s an attorney coworker of about 43 who has never married and I’ve never heard about him dating someone. He’s really LGBT friendly so I think he’d be out if he was gay. Lives in a very nice house by himself.

R19 same here. I've known several with long term girlfriends and the guys just wouldn't take the marriage step, and didn't have kids. I guess the gals were ok with that because they stuck around.
And I've known some who went from girlfriend to girlfriend until they just aged out and were suddenly alone. They probably thought of themselves as viable, being good looking, but they reached an age where with a limited inventory of possible female partners in a small town, what was left for them they either couldn't get (usually due to age) or didn't want. Or the women knew their history and wouldn't have them.
But what you pointed out is true. Looking beneath the surface, they all have had issues with alcohol or other addictions.

I know two straight men who never married. Both don't have children.
One guy has lived with an older woman for many years (but I think he sees other women). I'm guessing she doesn't charge him rent.
My conclusion: these two guys never wanted to have kids and never wanted to end up paying alimony or dealing with "community property."

Almost every one I know who identifies as straight and lives with a woman has had some evidence of being bi.
There is also my second cousin who claims to be straight and he may be straight, he's late 40s. He lives with his aunt and her grandson.
By the way, just want to point out - a lot of you talking about someone living with some relative - if the person is single, they may just prefer to have da coy-to-day mpanionship at home, rather than living completely ALONE. After all, they're NOT married. So maybe they've found a way to not be totally alone. Is that bad?

I know one but I suspect he may secretly have some pedo tendencies with teen boys. He has a good friend who is a convicted sex offender with teen boys, and they both have a history of being involved with non profit camping organizations. This man has expressed that his friend was "misunderstood" so I tend to think he's the same, just didn't get caught.

One of my golfing buddies. He's in his 50s. Always asks if anyone knows nice girls they can set him up with. I finally told him it sounds creepy and he needs to get on an online dating site but he won't.
I have a nephew in his a 30s who's definitely straight but has never had a girlfriend. I doubt he will ever get married. He is good looking and has no trouble getting laid which I guess is all he's looking for.
A lot of friends and coworkers who got divorced after shortish marriages and never remarried. And on the flip side, which I find horrifying, two of my closest straight friends, divorced after long marriages, have grown children and have married women in their early 30s, so chances are they're going to have to do the second family thing now that they're in their 50s. Ew.

Yes, I know three straight men who never married although they have decent careers. One is high-level law enforcement. He's a lothario and has no problem finding female companionship.
Another is 63. He had girlfriends when young but never settled down. He is interested in much younger women.
The other is a lower-40's IT guy who is depressed and smokes a lot of pot. Ok-looking but not confident around women. Seems content with porn.

I've known several straight men who never married. The incredibly sexy brother of a close friend of mine was such a horn dog he said he would never consider marrying someone and be left with one pussy to fuck for the rest of his life (if he kept his vows). I once went to lunch with him and his brother and as we were leaving the restaurant he saw this hot chick and went over to talk to her. We stood there 20' away and watched. His brother said to me "watch, he's going to pick her up". After about 10 minutes he came back and said "we're going to hook up and fuck tomorrow".

My best friend; he spent his 20’s chasing women all over the place, as far as Australia, and he’s from Pittsburgh. He finally landed a long term relationship with a woman who didn’t want to be married; it lasted 11 years. The first 9 years were great but the last two were not; it ended about 8 years ago. He’s now 52 and still chasing women, but he’s desperate and terrified, drinks a lot and still wants a slim chick with a nice rack. He’s not a bad person, just lost. I’ve explained to him numerous times that women in our age group who are single are not looking for a boyfriend or husband even. But he doesn’t sleep around; it has to be a relationship. After the 3rd date, if he hasn’t made a move, and he doesn’t, they dump him. Queue another spiral, I’m a troll, nobody wants me….sigh

He lives with his parents and they get along very well, do everything together including trips so he seems to be happy. I actually don't think he is gay.

I knew a straight man (I'm pretty sure he was straight - he was a porn addict who constantly talked to me about women) who lived with his parents and 'putted around with computers' too. He at least didn't disparage women but he just never wanted to do anything. He just wanted women to come to him and be his mommy, do all the cooking and cleaning that his parents did for him. Unsurprisingly even though he was moderately good looking, nothing happened, so he ended up killing himself at 26-years-old.

I've known a few. They were all men with varying degrees of attractiveness but what they all had in common was they would only date white women. Obviously there are only so many to go around so they ended up alone, for now anyway.
This is a common American phenomenon I've noticed. White women are willing to date outside their race but white guys rarely are. Coupled with even the non- white guys who only want white women and you have a very limited pool of desirable women.
