re: People 35+ and never married

You might find someone, and you might not. Just don't buy the lie that there's someone for everyone, and waste time expecting that someone to come along, because it doesn't work out that way for some people. There are plenty of single people that don't get married until late in life. Then there are people that marry, have kids, get divorced, and ultimately end up alone, because they can't keep from making poor decisions.

I never thought I'd wind up being divorced in my 50's, but the defendant wanted a new life, so it happened. Almost ten years later, I am back in the game and dating a lady in her mid-40's. If things go right, I'd probably take one last chance on marrying as I really don't want to be alone.

Hang in there never marrieds.
At 45, the pendulum swings favoring men. Somehow the number of available women greatly exceeds the number of men. Not never marrieds, but divorced women start cropping up.
They are everywhere.
Some, don't get married again, get angry at men and never get close to men again. But it's open season on the rest!

Y'all MFers are going to be crying when social security is insolvent because society fell apart when people stopped getting married and having kids.
No offense to OP, who I know is a good dude, and no offense to anyone else. I used to get pretty fired up about other people's life decisions, but I realize now that was due to my own insecurity.
However, I do think people take a peaceful well-functioning society for granted and don't fully appreciate how big of a deviation from the norm our current situation is becoming.

Just turned 27, only child, moved to a college town. single AF. I put everything into my career early on and I like being alone. Grew up that way. I think I will be as described here by the OP.

A lot of truth in this thread. But there is something to be said about a 40 year old dude with a roommate still single. I can't imagine how shitty that must be. I'd still venture to say if youre single at that age, something is wrong with you. Not quite a choice.

I'll be 36 next month and never married. I'm not OT rich, but do very well for myself and can travel whenever / wherever I want, take up the hobbies I want, etc. I'll usually date women for 6-12 months before they finally realize that what I told them in the beginning is true--I don't want kids and probably won't get married.
My friends' wives get pretty frustrated bc once a year they have to get to know someone new, and bc I've ruined a BUNCH of good group pics over the years with girls that aren't around anymore...
A very close friend dated his wife for 7 years and she was perfect. Everyone loved her and was excited as Hell when they decided to get married. Fast forward 12 years and they're happy and have two kids. He found out late last year that she was cheating on him. He was devestated and sunk pretty low. It was a struggle to keep him level headed, and there were a ton of sleepless nights with him or worrying about him.
I have always been on the fence about marriage, but seeing someone so brutally destroyed is tough to get over. No one saw this coming. So how am I supposed to trust anyone at this point? I may "love" someone, but is it worth betting half your shite???

The only good part about single life, is being able to take guy trips without any problems.

I feel like I would have to sacrifice too much of what makes me "me," especially trying to find a mate in a small Mississippi town, so I don't worry about it.
There are two main reasons why finding a mate is appealing to me. 1) to have someone to travel with and 2) to make babies to take care of me when I am old. Chances are my kids will probably dump me in a nursing home anyway, so I'm not too concerned about number 2, but a traveling partner would be swell.

Agree... I just went solo to Key West for a weekend for my birthday in August and it would have been nice to have a girl to accompany me.

Mate, do you ever think about how sad and pathetic you'll be in your 50s+?
Posted on 10/23/16 at 11:22 pm to Lawyered
Don't need to be married to have a girl go with you on a vacation.wtf

I'm assuming I'll be dating girls aged 25-35
Have plenty of money and freedom
Etc
Seems pretty great to me.

That's a lot to assume.

It's just funny people think not married = lonely and sexless
Coming home to the same person, day after day, for years on end, absolutely sounds like a living hell to me

I'm about to turn 24 and I'm obviously not married. I am also single too. I know I'm still really young, but it's pretty funny how all my friends are either the same age or are younger than me, and pretty much all of them are married at this point.
What small, backwards arse town are you from where everyone is married by 23?

Oh, I'm no massive proponent of marriage. DivorceCorp scared the shite out of me. I just find it amusing that all of these 30 year old dudes are banking on being the next Don Draper when in reality they'll end up closer to the creepy guy at the end of the bar.

Women in the deep south tend to get antsy if they're still single once they leave college. It's old southern culture, and that part hasn't changed with the times.
