                    [Summary] => Why this phenomenon called "overstaying bachelors"? Is it due to the pressure of too much work, the fear of making a lifelong commitment to a woman, the temptation of remaining perpetually free and unattached (therefore socially and legally free to have many girlfriends, whether one at a time or simultaneously), one’s very exacting and high standards in choosing a wife, possible ambiguity in gender preference or other special reasons? Are some overstaying bachelors in this condition due to passion or addiction for "plenty" of sex with different women?
