- bludo, on 05/27/2008, -7/+72Man, I can relate to that article. I'm in my 20's and it's sad to see this transition around me. Every time someone finds a woman, he retreats into his cave and brakes his relation with his friends. It's like they are brainwashed by the cult of women.
- unclebuck, on 05/27/2008, -5/+60Oh man, so many good bits in that article that had me laughing.
"And when a baby kicks up a fuss, it is rewarded with boob. But if I start crying and demanding boob, I'm simply asked to leave the bus/cinema/restaurant/church." - ohhoe, on 05/27/2008, -2/+46Spurmo? Wtf?
Anyway. I think men get sexier as they get older, you guys have it way better off than women as they age. - WetDaddy, on 03/02/2009, -4/+44"Spurmo"? Really?
Can we PLEASE stop trying to categorise and sub-categorise and pigeon-hole and label EVERY demographic permutation that exists? This is worse than "Cougar". - shauncorleone, on 05/27/2008, -3/+33Becoming extinct? I'd say the single, childless 30-something is more prevalent these days. With women fully integrated into the workforce, the average age of starting a family has increased drastically vs what it was even 20 years ago. Must everything be a tragedy? Aside from my inevitable hair loss (mom's brothers/father being bald as hell), I'm not afraid of my 30s. If anything, it should be the decade where I reap the fruits of all the work I'm sinking into business now. Sure, several of my friends are getting married and popping out kids, but I have many like-minded friends that are nowhere near "settling down".
In short: Don't fear it, embrace it. - inactive, on 05/27/2008, -6/+31I feel this way and I'm only 25 :(
Wish I had an abortion/divorce ray. - inactive, on 05/27/2008, -7/+30I like being single in my 30's. I get to stay in shape, date whoever I want. My married guy friends have no nuts, have to check in every hour, and are fat. Yep life is good.
- h3lx, on 05/27/2008, -3/+26Most women age like cheese. That explains the 'old lady smell.'
- LeRenard, on 05/27/2008, -0/+22I got married at 28, and I spend a heck of a lot more time with friends (my own, hers, ours) and doing fun things now than I did when I was single. Before, I spent a ton of time programming until 4am when the caffeine wore off. Everything is relative.
- Flappy3, on 05/27/2008, -1/+22Lonely? There's a Japanese toll-free number you can call...
- inactive, on 05/27/2008, -3/+23Glad I'm not the only one who thought that this happening in his 30s was generous. I'm not even 25 and I've already lost a bunch of friends to the terror that is matrimony.
- GRANDPAMUNSTER, on 06/11/2009, -1/+19Stick with the girl, you don't want to be that 40 year old guy at the bar trying to pick up all the 20 year olds. When we were in our 20's we used to make fun of that guy. Gotta grow up some time, you can still have some fun.
- SierraAlpha, on 05/27/2008, -3/+20Yes but women get milfy!
- reddoggie, on 05/27/2008, -2/+19As a married woman in her 30's, with *no babies* or plans to have them, I can completely relate to this guy. There are no women for me to 'go to the pub' with either. If I manage to actually get friends together to hang out, conversation seems to completely revolve around their children. Not that I don't like their children, I just think things like science, politics, technology, music, etc. are far more engaging topics after the first 10 minutes of prerequisite "baby-talk".
- nightlawyer, on 05/27/2008, -5/+22I got married @ 26 and divorced at 28. Marriage ruined a good relationship for me.
Marriage means:
You cannot play poker allnight.
You have to adhere to strict time rules.
You get lazy and your game is ruined (Who's WITH ME??!)
You become your wifes bitch.#
You suddenly have to become aquainted with DIY.
There is plenty of fish in the sea when you are over 30 ( and a lot of it is desperate!) Only thing you have to worry about is the baby trap. Let the good times roll! - Loonatickle, on 05/27/2008, -2/+16"Plenty of fish in the sea when you are over 30"
This is very true. However, single women over 30 tend to have emotional problems or some other reason why they are still single. Plus, as baby-makers, they are nearing the point of no return. Younger girls (early 20s) generally don't have enough real life experience to stay entertaining to a man over 30. Sure they're hot, but please stop talking... - inactive, on 05/27/2008, -7/+21"Straight, proud, unmarried men over 30..(Spurmos)...How to tell if you're a Spurmo
When you meet a woman, do you check her wedding ring finger?
On holiday, are you always put in the worst room of the chalet/villa?
Is hair loss a greater threat to the planet than global warming?
Do you mention ex-girlfriends early in a conversation so that people don't assume you're gay?
Have you ever said: “Fifteen years is not that big an age difference.”?
Do you have two or more godchildren?...(Answer yes to 2 or more: you're a Spurmo)....

- stonebear, on 05/27/2008, -10/+23Gets harder for males to make friends as they age (but not necessarily acquaintances). That particular loneliness is a dirty trick nature plays to get men in their thirties to finally mate before their chromosomes get too sticky. After 38, ***** 'em; they will have to blow their brains out in their lonely hotel rooms, or rely on medical science to prolong their suffering. Nature doesn't care. In fact, since they are just birth defect generators whose existence is a liability to the species anyway, she takes pains to ruin their appearance in various ways, just in case they survive into their forties.
So ***** nature, and thank God for civilization and distinguished looking gentlemen. - tbstudee, on 05/27/2008, -2/+15FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM!
- matroosje, on 05/27/2008, -1/+13to all the younglings
I'm 44, married for 18 years (some of them very happy), have three children, but ... I go out whenever I want, with whomever I want, including single male friends, married ones, girls (married/single), to the movies, sailing, the pub, camping, whatever. And I do city trips with my children, or we go on a vacation as one happy family.
And my wife does the same. It keeps us happy. We are married not to restrict each other, but to enbroaden each others lives.
Marriage is not a prison. And my wife is not my mom. - itsthemechanic, on 05/27/2008, -3/+15Women age like fruit, men age like wine. 'Nuff said.
- itsthemechanic, on 05/27/2008, -7/+19I am 30 and unmarried, and I am happy about that. I can travel, motorcycle, ***** around, play MMO's all night, and do whatever the ***** else I please without somebody making demands on my time.

- aethelberga, on 05/27/2008, -1/+12This whole article is hilarious, but everybody's beating on it like the author is serious.
- ormmarine, on 05/27/2008, -0/+10The problem, nightlawyer, is that when you married you were still thinking only of your own needs, failing to realize that your wife's needs are very important too.
Marriage, ideally, is when two individuals become one, serving one another and actively loving one another. - suntzusputnik, on 05/27/2008, -1/+11harsh
- InfamousAtheist, on 05/27/2008, -2/+12Get used to it. It just gets worse as you get into your 30s, and then the divorces start.

- MsArtGeek, on 05/27/2008, -0/+10Mind you, this is the same guy who claims to have learned everything he knows about women from a two-year-old-girl... and yet still wonders why he can't score the woman he wants. Just sayin.

- TimDigg, on 05/27/2008, -0/+9same here, turned 25 last month....
- s0nicfreak, on 05/27/2008, -3/+12Bawww, all my friends grew up and now I have no one to act like we're still 20 with.
- freezeout, on 05/27/2008, -1/+10I guess it depends where you live. I'm in my 30's in New York City and there are actually too many single guys here having way too much fun.
- atticus8, on 05/27/2008, -0/+9Yes, and they are all distinctively homosexual... when my cousin (New Yorker for 10+ years now) goes on social outings with guys in NYC, Step 0 of the experience is determining / asking whether he is gay. She is often disappointed.
(Of course, she has nothing against gays, it's just that she wants to settle down with a straight guy and then disappear him from his friends.) - inactive, on 05/27/2008, -4/+13FAIL.
Grow up, loser! With the right woman, married life is nothing like that. In fact, it is 100x better than single life. - gllopc, on 05/27/2008, -3/+11I'm 33 and in the same boat. I've met a wonderful girl, and I have to make the decision to stick with her or keep my "freedom" (her quotes, not mine).
It's one of the toughest decisions of my life: Risk happiness, but gain stability and life-long companionship, or keep all of my money and my time, and spend both any which way I please.
Anyone have advice? - znicket, on 05/27/2008, -3/+11I used to be that guy. In a happy relationship now and I just had to make some minor adjustments. Less drinking, less computer game playing and more common outdoors activity. More golf, more tennis and more restaurant trips. The transition wasn't that hard.
- DCGUY12, on 05/27/2008, -0/+8I'm 34 years old, dating a 24 year old hottie. Life is good, but man, you want kids right? You want those kids to have the same last name and for you to teach them properly right, not some half-assed way that the pathetic teachers taught you growing up? That's the answer, right there.
- Pyroteq, on 05/27/2008, -0/+8Great job of including the comments as well in your copypasta!
- spongya77, on 05/27/2008, -1/+9Man, this is why I suffer in the US. Somehow my friends back home, in Europe, do not retreat into their little caves after marriage. They still meet every other day in pubs -they only bring their wives (and husbands) along. And mom takes care of the kids till then.
- zantos420, on 05/27/2008, -3/+11probably all the crap you do to make yourself look 15 and glittery at the age of 13... ... to 30...
- midejitsu, on 05/27/2008, -0/+8“Do you mention ex-girlfriends early in a conversation so that people don't assume you're gay?”
*****. I think I might have done that and it’s possible that I’m doing the wedding ring thing too. So I am over thirty and single, but I refuse to consider myself a “spumo”. It sounds unpleasant and slightly nauseating and while that might be an apt description of yours truly, it surely does not apply to all single men in my age-group. - Ramble, on 05/27/2008, -7/+14Proud? Or just a sad git that no-one likes?
- nedzalife, on 05/27/2008, -0/+7turning 27, feel the same way. friend is getting married for a second time... i'm lucky if I find friends with benefits...
- Aplmf, on 05/27/2008, -1/+8I agree, most of the people got caught in the illusion that they are supposed to achieve something, do this, do that, well the truth is you dont have to do anything the society tells you and pressures you to do by other peoples closeminded opinions on what life is supposed to look like, just live life the way you want to and ***** what anyone thinks.
- inactive, on 05/27/2008, -0/+7Need a picture to give advice on this one.
- LocalDocal, on 05/27/2008, -2/+9Well, technically, you're risking happiness either way. If you don't take the decision, you'll risk losing the happiness of having "stability and life-long companionship". If you take it the decision, you'll risk losing the happiness of having freedom and independence.
If you're really indecisive, however, then just look at it this way:
A) If you choose marriage, then chances are you'll eventually gain your freedom again (albeit at a cost) considering the incredibly high divorce rate.
B) If you don't choose marriage, you could always hire a maid with your freed up resources, and ***** her. -
