Editorial Review: Product Description: There are many familiar misconceptions about unmarried men over 40: that middle-aged bachelors disdain the institution of marriage, take obsessive pride in their single status, and balk at the thought of having children or being tied down. This book compiles interview responses from over 1,500 unmarried, middle-aged men, dispelling these myths and re-examining popular notions about long-term bachelors. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A landmark study of the rational reasons why men choose to not marryThe question of the title is one that most forever single persons of both sexes must hear on a regular basis, at least from people comfortable enough with them to ask it. In this book Weisman reports on the in-depth interviews he conducted with 33 men who have never been married. This group was randomly extracted from an original group of over 1,000. The results are illuminating, a common notion would be that they would either be playboys, men who want to play the field and bed as many women ...

And I will note that many men today are no different from many women under the age of fifty who have never married, because they have their independence, ... Read More Rating: - Great For The Long HaulThis is definitely a good book that is needed on the relationship market. More and more people are opting to stay single longer. Women often wonder why men are over 40 and never have been married. We have so many labels on relationships today and with the advent of email and numerous dating sites, people seem to be going thru non dating phases a lot longer. As outlined thru the book, men are deeply affected by relationships. Whether they be from dating experiences or family squabbles, men really ... Read More Rating: - Interesting and Enlightening for Both SexesI currently have about 28 books in my "to be read and reviewed" pile. When I received this book, I put everything down to read it first. I am not a man, over 40 years of age, who is trying to figure out why I never married. Instead I am a 41 year old woman who has been divorced for six years, after a 15 year marriage. I wanted to gain an understanding of why some men never marry. My initial reaction has always been to first assume that they have commitment issues, or something just isn't right with them. ...
