You are smart imo. It's tough having kids late though if that's what you might want

You got married at 20? Damn..........

I totally get the one and done mindset though. If someone got married at 30 for 15 years, I don't see having the energy to go through that twice.

Sorry you're not someone that someone would want to be with.

I'll give you +10 internets to soothe the burn.

Men who marry a woman ten years younger live ten years younger.
Marry older die younger

Married love longer.

Fair enough, but when you get cats to provide those things thats a problem.

I didn't get married until I was 41. I came close a couple of times before that, but it was a case of wrong place, wrong time, or wrong girl. I had to learn the hard way that no woman was going to make me whole and happy, no matter how badly I wanted it. Probably spared myself at least a divorce or two.

I had to make my body, mind, and soul whole first. So I got myself in shape, started killing it with my career, and got back in touch with the Lord. Once I was happy with myself, I could be happy with someone else. And after a few months dating my now-wife, we decided to get married because I got tired of going back to my apartment at the end of the night. She's ten years younger, beautiful inside and out, and spoils me rotten. Life is good.

many guys think this until they get into a meaningful relationship and realize no girl wants this, and the ones that say they do only say that until they get it.

I believed in marriage a long, long time ago. Unfortunately, I have seen the cruel side of the divorce process. Divorces turn people into evil humans that you never knew had that potential for evil.

So many married women know the game....they marry, cheat on their husband, take the poor guy to the cleaners in the divorce process and live happily ever after....while the guy is left to pick up the pieces.

Marriage is an anchor that will drown you. Be very carful before signing the paperwork and ensure your earnings and assets are protected.

Not being married is not a problem....your married friends probably envy you at a level you don't even realize.

I think you have to explain that on the front end

I'm 32.. never married, no kids... not happy.

Just can't seem to find someone that I've ever clicked with. I'm not ugly, poor, or fricking odd (not overly so) but it just hasn't happened. I'm not the most social of flowers, I'll admit that, I just don't do well with the ladies.

I've come close to accepting it.

29 and never married/no kids. The real mind frick for me is that the women I'm always interested in forging a long-term relationship with don't feel the same way and vice versa. It makes me wonder if I only want what I can't have, but I'd like to think I'm smarter than that. Then again, I'm not so sure I am. My brain is in a pickle.

That being said, 29 in a biggish city with a good job in the age of dating apps is a helluva time to be alive. I want kids some day, though. So, I need to either figure out how to have what I want or pull a Brangelina and adopt a Chinese kid.
