re: A record-high share of 40-year-olds in the U.S. have never been married

Probably has something to do with the fact that a lot of guys don’t want to lower their standards for women they know they aren’t attracted to. Any guy can lower his standards and get with a below-average looking woman, it’s not that hard. But to get a woman that’s insanely hot and be truly attracted to is hard to do since other guys will be hitting on her

Yeah, but when was this not the case?

It isn’t just looks with regards to lowering standards.
It is also a mix of insanity, kids who come along for the ride, and earning power of the spouse.
If I’m going to be with a grocery clerk from Rouse’s, she better look good and not have kids because I’m clearly not marrying her for the money. Not a lot of career growth potential there without hitting school or OnlyFans.

I'm 43, never married and I legitimately get depressed whenever I gather the nerve to start dating. Actually getting the dates is not a problem.
But invariably I'll have a couple of dates with women that I would consider to be only somewhat attractive physically, but I'm no Don Juan myself so whatever.
I try to go in with an open mind but these women are just like the more attractive women as far as attitude goes. It was one thing dealing with these types of women at 23, another thing entirely when they're 20 years older and have the same attitude that they did back then. The "not lowering standards" part comes from the fact that the lower standard still thinks they're the upper standard.
