Males can test positive for pregnancy. It means they have cancer.
Will give it a try later today.

It means they may have cancer or they may actually be women. It also can mean the test was wrong.

Ok, so because the shiduch system sucks you have no problem staying single until something unimaginable happens. Fine.

Now, if I may ask you: (I'm not going to be explicit, but use common sense to understand what I mean.)
You don't have any problems not being married? I mean you're human.
Or, maybe,  do you practice the alternative? I know your friends do. But do you manage without it?

The whole "we need to get married to get laid" thing? I cant be blackmailed... again, G-d put me in this situation where I am not getting married, i'll be fine in the beis din shel maalah.. I have bigger issues to contend with

I think it's important to recognize that the shidduch system does not work for everybody. There are people with medical conditions or unfortunate family circumstances that places them at an unfair disadvantage in the shidduch game. They are constantly set up with people who are not reasonably compatible or have more significant personality problems. It is normal for them to get burned out from all of the ridiculous suggestions and try to find a way to cope with their reality by enjoying single life. This doesn't mean they don't want to get married on some level, they are just dealing with things in their own way.

I dont see why I would marry someone with ANY issues, I spent enough time at doctors, I hate hospitals..

I agree. I think 'chevron' is just discouraged and trying to deal with things and his reality. Is that correct?

Assuming that you have some basal interest in getting married, it's a stretch to say that you are going to find someone without any issues. We all have issues. Hopefully, we find someone who's issues aren't bothersome to us or better yet, are attractive! So yes, you should not have to marry someone with any issues!

It seems he was focusing specifically on medical issues.

Rather than get run over by the bus, I took a plane :)

Here's a shiduch idea: you walk with me across this bridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Mile_Bridge

If I dont jump iff the bridge to put myself out of the brutal agony of it all, you get a 2nd date.

Speed dating is where you gotta last the car drive accross ;)

You don't know his circumstances or anyone's for that matter. If you want to talk in general that people have a choice that's fine, but to claim you know what an individual can or cannot do is wrong.
