its hard for a man to live entirely without a woman he could look at almost all the time and smile back at,laugh off the jokes they make.....its always difficult to allow the loneliness created by not having a woman around haunt for so long......there is factual prove to relish that desire to have a woman around,someone who could be there cheer u up,lighten u up,fellowship with u,argue with u in every reasonable issues...its been ordained from the beginning for every man to have a partner,a helper,some who could be more than a sister to the man,to be able to fathom way to set things aright....and wake up to the that call of fate for togetherness..

Because he's dealing with situations of extreme persecution. The more preteristic views of Mark 13:17 and Matt 24:19 collaborate that.
Those are the only circumstances marriage is discouraged...
Even then 1 Cor 7 is in the context of something the Corinthians wrote Paul, a something we don't have. The translation's pretty rough in most versions and the addition of verses to the letter don't help anything either...
In his letter to Timothy he encourages marriages in a different circumstance. You're far overstating what Paul meant in one chapter.

It does say that is good for a man not to marry, but if he marries, he has not sinned. Me personally, I don't want to have any children. I was somewhat promiscuous when I was younger and unfortunately I'm not a virgin, but I choose to be abstinent now. I don't really see the need to marry because I don't want any children and even though it is nice to have a woman around....relationships can be very aggravating. lol
1Co 7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
1Co 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
For those that have never been married it is good for them to stay single due to impending needs. The circumstances are the persecution of the church.
On the whole he exhorts people to do as they're called concerning marriage. Do as you're gifted, do as you're called, abide in your calling.
To be honest he doesn't even present it as a 'choice' as much as a 'calling'.
