re: Once you reach (age), it makes no sense to ever get married.

my cutoff was about 40 - I'v had relationships - some serious - but you're correct. The baggage accumulates, there are other obligations you have to take care of (I guess that's your own baggage) and I've just gotten pickier. I haven't given serious thought to marrying anyone in a long time and it would take someone extremely special to make me change my mind.
