Well, aside from every individual is different, let me answer you this way.
Most men, once they find a woman that they love, would rather be married, provided
She is a good wife, in his mind and view. This one is very important.
She has sex with him often.
She isnt always trying to change him.
She is responsive to his needs and to what he says and thinks.
She is a true partner, not just another pain he has to deal with all the time or someone else just using him.

Depends on the man. I play poker a couple times a year with a group of guys I knew from college. I and another guy are the only single men, though the other single guy is divorced and I have never married. We are all in our late 40's. The group varies from 7 to 9 guys depending on who can show. One night we were talking and one of the married guys said "gee it might be nice to be single again". Well, I jumped in and said "Not really, not with Aids, and the quality of the females that are out there. Between the ones that are pissed at the last relationship and the ones disappointed in life did not give them what they wanted. No way would you want to be single!!!" "And there is also Herpes Simplex 3!!" It got real quiet at the table. I have not heard word one about divorce from any of the guys since.
I guess my point is they consider it. Then if they really think about it there must be more to the thought than just I think I would rather be a bachelor. Its a cop out in my book. Sometimes I think it would be easier being married and I know that is work too. Either way it is work. Soo......
And as far as being happy, my friends seem to be. But, then they are still dealing with putting their kids through school What happens after that we shall see.
It is all a matter of choice either way.

They would rather be married with a wife and family. There are some who are not homely and regret being married. There also some who discovered the addictiveness of sex and would soon stray and have more sexual encounters with other women outside of marriage. These men should not have married. Whether they regret being married is not clear.
As with being married, being a bachelor forever has it's downside too.

If he was sincere then he should be happy. This is, afterall, the reason why people get married. I have been with my woman for many years and we are getting married next year. I know I will be happy for the rest of my life. There will be ups and downs but you have to take the good with the bad. I would rather argue with my woman anyday over being with anyoneone else.

I heard or read something about this that more man than not want to be married and have a good life and not stay a single bachelor forever, they crave the security and love just like us women do too..it just doesnt seem like it sometimes...even nowmore and more women are choosing to stay single longer or even for good...the world is just changing...if a guy gets married chances are thats what he really wants..marriages can fall apart for all kinds of reasons...

Their right. It just all depends. When I met my husband he was 39 years old and no family or kids of his own. I gave birth to his first child when he was 40 years old. He has just always been a bachelor. Always hunting and fishing. And I mean hunting and fishing when he gets off work he is in the woods or in his boat. The only reason I snatched him up was because I worked with him. All of his other friends are just like he was. They are all in their mid 40's never been married and have no kids. Probably because they are always hunting an fishing too.

Men who are happily married love their wives, enjoy the stability of a lifelong relationship, and may ven be satisfied sexually. BUT....all married men secretly fantasize about being single and having sex with whomever they want (assuming that whoever they want desires a 40-something guy with a receding hairline and a bit of a paunch). The guys who's fantasy become reality are called cheaters. The guys who keep their fantasies to themselves are called faithful. It's a good thing that married guys aren't rated on their thoughts because every married man would be considered a cheater. So, happily married men are happily married and dream of being bachelors when they are horny. That's it.

Some men like and want marriage but most men don't. I hope this answered your question. Are they happy yea for a bit then it turns hum drum. I think every marriage is like that whether it's a man or woman.

It's a individual personal choice, if a man finds the love of his life then there is no better bliss than married life, if he decides that stability of a marriage is not for him then he needs to make a choice...

men who want to be single forever and usually single forever.
Men who want to marry, marry. Just sometimes, its not like the way you planned so it falls apart.
