If a guy wants to stay single his entire life...no problem. But be honest up front with the women one dates, so they don't hold on to the hope they'll someday get married.

Ladies, if after two years, three at most, he hasn't decided to marry you, it's unlikely that he will. Move on.

Women tend to be focused on a relationship "growing". As in winding up at marriage and kids.

What too many women don't realize is that, from a man's point of view, once she's moved in and he's getting laid on a regular basis, the relationship is at an ideal point: he gets all the benefits of marriage without that much future commitment

EXACTLY.

My daddy warned me against "shacking up" when I was a teenager. His words: "Why would anybody buy the cow when he's getting the milk for free?"

Too many foolish women have bought into this notion of "sex without consequences." It has lots of consequences - you get things you don't want (STDs, babies with no daddies) and you don't get things you do want (commitment, marriage, legitimate children).
