Such a decision might seem strange to some, so these women in the list below shared the reasons why they’re doing it, ranging from enlightening to quite heartbreaking. Scroll down to see them for yourself, and don’t forget to share your own opinions on the matter.

I always lost myself, they were too needy
Rebecca Ortiz replied:
yeah, that's how I feel. I'm from an era that expected women to mold themselves into someone that put their man above their own selves and happiness.
In the process we lost ourselves.

Most men want us to put in 100% while they match that with about 40%. They want the honeymoon experience without doing any work to get there. They seem to think the “independent women” only needs the bare minimum.
I’m at a point- if they can’t ADD to my table. I simply don’t have a seat for them.

Because I'm tired of feeling like I have another child to contend with. Been happier since being single lately. I can do what I want without someone breathing down my neck

It’s not worth it. Online dating is based on looks. In person, where do you find good, single men who’ll step up and ask you out? I live in a small town and only get out for errands and my kids’ sporting events. And…I’m okay being on my own.

not only to ask you out but also don't use a dinner date as a transactional date!
Some guys just don't have any empathy or integrity towards women.
Some think a good meal and a glas of wine will make her jump into the box with him.
Idk who teaches those guys this crap!

At the end of the day, idk if they are aware consciously but…it’s always about d. Everything a man thinks and does is in some way shape or form, is to get him booty. They say that woman are the seat of reproductivity, when in actuality, that’s the sole purpose of men. Look up Tiffany Haddish’Yo Cochie fell out”

It's just easier and more peaceful without a man. The men I've experienced arent good partners more like teenage boys and they are over 50.

I’m newly single. I don’t know how long it will be before I really put myself back out there, but I’m going to be more careful this next go. I just got out of a relationship with a narcissist and he really messed me up. I’m 38 and 22 years of my life, I’ve been mentally and emotionally abused by men.
