I made a huge mistake by following that logic
Settling down wasn't the wrong call - your choice of mate might have been the issue (or hers - sorry, how presumptive of me, or his, maybe?)

You can settle down without being married.
We seem to be slowly divorcing our idea of what a healthy relationship is from the marriage construct.
Monogamy has never been an issue for me, it's this idea of a contract where I have to potentially assume liability for someone else's livelihood in the event that the union fails.

56, never married, but did live 12 years with my ex-GF. Don't feel creepy at all.

Sooo....prostitution?
Serial Monogamy, what most people practice today, is scarily similar to prostitution. The only major difference is the length of the contract and more financial costs.

honestly, there is only a few years of weirdness. mid 20's to mid 30's - all of your friends are getting married, so is it a little strange to be the only one who is not married or engaged. also, any girl that you date feels like she is behind the marriage curve and pressures you pretty hard. after your mid-30's, most of your friends are either miserably married or getting divorced, so you are actually in the best position of all if you have never been married.
You know whats funny, there are actual states to back this up
Divorce Facts and Stats
median duration of first marriages that end in divorce:Males: 7.8 years
Females: 7.9 years
median duration of second marriages:Males: 7.3 years
Females: 6.8 years
21. People wait an average of three years after a divorce to remarry (if they remarry at all).22. In 2011, only 29 out of every 1000 of divorced or widowed women remarried.

Uh never. Why is it anyone's concern?
A lot of ignorant people associate someone not being married with not being able to find someone who will marry you because you’re a weirdo or have some crazy flaw
I find it a lot with old fashioned people.

I cannot think of anyone I know who is 35+, socially normal, and never married.
The older millenials like my self are getting around that age, I think you will find it to be more normal.
Just think, do i want a 35 year old woman that at least hasnt had kids yet, or would i prefer one that has 2+ and has already been divorced once or twice?
What makes her a better option than the "creep"

I don't think it ever really becomes "creepy". But somewhere around 35 people start to regularly speculate as whether you're playing on that other team.

And I agree this is largely a vestige of prior centuries and a "pre liberated" society. However, it is an absolute must if you're going to have children. Just the commitment it is a symbol for - heck, if you're that worried about it (particularly if either party has family wealth, a prior marriage, "other" entanglements, or just because it's the 21st Century) get a really good prenup.
In my case, I'm glad to have been old fashioned. Mrs. Midnight and I got married barely out of our teens. We didn't have shite. So, whatever it is - we did it together. If it hadn't worked out, I might think differently on it.

bullshite! I’m 35 and I’m smart enough to know that I haven’t met the woman that I want to be lured in by and be with forever. Was recently sleeping with 3 woman between the ages of 40 and 24. So not gay. I’ll settle down when I’m willing and ready.

Congrats on the sti or possibly HPV.

Don’t you mean congrats of the sex? You’re 85% likely to have it also if you have slept with anyone other than your mother.

I've had an interesting talk with my youngest daughter about this...she's mid 20's with a BSN, she got rid of the last two boyfriends because they were pushing to get married fairly quickly...

30 is when it starts to look weird if you are not in a recent relationship or at least trying but 35 is the jump off for most married friends. Like the OP said that doesnt apply to divorced people.

Why in God's name would I want to get married?
Sex with multiple girls per week.
Money in the bank
Do whatever the frick I want
Being single is fricking amazing in your 30s
