You should consider appearing on the show Married at First Sight. They got a baw from Dallas on there this season who is 40 years old and never married. They matched him with a smokin, never-been-married blonde of 36.

At this point. The point when you axe the OT if you should marry someone or something. That's the point.

At what point does one just say that they will enjoy the single life for life and that is it?

At this point, the chance I find a woman with few tethers is pretty slim. Seems to not be worth the hassle at this point.

Now I could start going after the late 20s and early 30s crowd, but I've learned that I have very little patience for the vast majority of them outside of the throws off tinderellas and bumblebees.

If your daughter has two sons, the second one could have your last name. Or you could adopt.

You've probably reached the point where it will be too expensive to get married. I'm sure you get my point. I'm 35 and am probably there

It’s ok not to be married in 2918 and it’s ok to come out if the closet

Didn’t you say you were only 40?

Eh. I’m torn on this. You can have meaningful relationships at any age without getting married. But your relationship gets no respect/societal validity at our age unless you’re married. I’m torn on the importance of that.

Either way, don’t give up on love and companionship.

I’m never dating a girl over 27 again once my wife leaves me

Thought the same thing, but my co worker got married for the first time at 41.

So it could happen

It makes sense to never get married if you don’t have someone worth marrying. Otherwise you’ll end up regretting being married.

I would have been perfectly fine staying single forever. I don’t think it would have ever bothered me because I’d still be doing all the things I enjoy doing now. The companionship part is nice but it’s only nice if you’re with someone you enjoy the company of. Not easy to find that long-term.

Yeah if I dont get married one day no males to pass the name too.

I believe marriage is mainly to have children. The older I get the more I get worried about dying when my kids are younger than they should be.

Im not thinking im gonna marry a girl in her 30s. I would say mid-20s, but also not looking to marry a girl whos been a slut most her life. So starts to be slim pickings.

Biggest concern I have is I really have nothing to truly work for if I dont have a family. I have a great job, make good money, but at some point I gonna be the guy that is remembered as the guy "who's job was his life(baby)." And not sure if I can do that. So being some loner up in the woods somewhere might end up being my future. Ha.
