2. It’s more than likely to end in divorce. And, besides, after 8 years living with girls I know that women are just far too annoying to spend any great length of time with. As Darwin observed, deciding to keep a woman is bit like deciding whether you want a dog.

5. This is fun and I’ll enjoy it, but it’s not suitable to raise a family in. I’d have to move abroad. We’re about 5 years off it getting much worse.

6. I vaguely considered getting a random girl pregnant, but I grew up in a single parent family and it isn’t really fair on the child.

“Jesus was a bachelor and never lived with a woman. Surely living with a woman is one of the most difficult things a man has to do, and he never did it.” ― James Joyce

1. I think that Joyce is wrong here. Living without a woman—as per Nietzsche and Jesus—is the hardest thing to do. Most men, even Socrates, fall back into the easy option of being with a woman. They’re glad to be complaisant husband; it’s a relief to be bossed around.

2. Women save men from the responsibility of themselves by binding them into being “dad” and providing for the babies. It takes a man of courage to set a course free of women. This quote only makes me have a lower opinion of Joyce than I already had.

Joyce was married and had two children. He makes no claim that perpetual bachelorhood is harder or more valuable than cohabitation, but was merely pointing out a blindspot

Maybe remaining single forever used to be the hardest thing to do back in the day. I'm not sure that argument has survived the past couple of generations

Most are ensnared one way or the other, even if not permenantely. But the divorced, if they have children, live in the shadow anyway. Independence is still surprisingly difficult to achieve. Women will try to get at you if you let your defences down & family will pressure.
