"both genders are giving up on each other with singledom growing as the fastest growing cohort --------- but, it's men leading". ..... good point raised there pinot.
if men can't cohabit with women, they should live alone. I did for 20 years after my divorce, and maybe because I deserved to, and it resulted in a better 'me' evolving. it's certainly a much more peaceful way to live and allowed me to develop as a person.
