I'm one of them. My ex wife lost her mind on antidepressants and came very close to successfully murdering me. Now, after finding a good woman my life is better than I'd ever could have hoped.
Your analogy is one in which, because you burned yourself while cooking you declare that you'll never try to cook again. I don't think that's a path to success.
I think everyone dies alone. But you don't have to die lonely. They're very different things.
Sorry to hear about what you went through with your ex-wife.
I hope your current marriage or relationship stays this positive and works out long term.
I just personally don't think it is worth the risks and effort for me to search for a mythical "good woman".
FYI I am in my 30s, I am not 6 feet tall, I am only average looking facially, in shape though and I am an introvert, the odds of me finding a mythical good woman are extremely slim to say the least.
My wife is a wonderful woman and I'm blessed to have her. I fairness I'm six foot two, in good shape and a very good looking guy. Not to mention a veteran with a job that pays well enough that she can stay home. I won't say I'm not fortunate, although I also don't think it's just luck. What I am saying is that from my perspective, I'd have missed out on a lot of I had just thrown in the towel. I'm not inclined to do that as a general rule.
You can feel as if the risk isn't worthwhile. That's up to you.
Well of course there's risk. Life is risk. Living your entire life via excessive risk aversion is a great way to die lonely.
I personally have seen too many men I know go through a soul-crushing divorce and I have no interest in going through anything like that.
I don't need to get burned on the hot stove to learn not to touch that shit.
Do you really think getting married ensures that you won't die alone when you are old?

When risk is at > 50% of getting divorced and losing your shit, you'd have to be tarded to get married.
There's risk and there's playing russian roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber and you're the only one that gets a turn.
There's a difference between taking calculated risks and playing russian roulette with 6 loaded chambers.
The sheer similarities between the two comments here is suspicious.
Fair but I don't need to touch the stove to know it's hot enough to burn me. There's risk and then theres risk
