Hell naw.
Several folks i talk to regularly are 40 or older and never got married or have kids.
I asked that question before and they said at first you kinda get bummed out because it never happened but as time went along and they got into their late 30s, they realized they were really glad they didn’t because life was hard enough although adding another person and definitely not kids to the picture

One of my uncles never married. His fiance died and he never got over it.

Just because someone never marries doesn’t mean they don’t have other family & friends to will their belongings to.
Friend of mine is like you at 39. She has a great job that she loves. She has several nieces and nephews that she spoils and goes to visit often. Has lots of friends and travels often.
She loves her life. Doesn't even seem interested in dating at all. Feels like if someone comes along...great, if not..she's still just happy living her life. Very smart and mellow chick.

If he dies tomorrow we will have some good memories of him but that’s it. If he is at peace with that then great. I wanted something different in life.
What else does he need other than that?

I worked with a guy that was in his mid 60s and never had kids or married. He was a Japanese killing machine during WW2 in the Pacific. I'm talking hand to hand combat and flame throwers burning up the enemy in caves kinda stuff.
We would occasionally travel overnight for work and nobody would share a room with the guy because he fought that War every night in his dreams/sleep. I think he never married because of his PTSD. He loved the ladies they just couldn't spend the night

Being in your 30s making great money and banging chicks aint such a bad life. I can't imagine it's any different in your 40s. The amount of hot single women in their 30s is pretty staggering.

I know one. He’s an alcoholic in denial and nobody likes to visit him anymore. Always seems secretly depressed and the older he gets the worse it gets.
Know another one that seems to be perfectly fine. He’s active, has a lot of friends, but is sort of a control freak and very non committed. Seems perfectly happy tho and decent to be around.
More to do with the person prob than the situation.

Do you know anyone older (when I say older I mean.. 40ish on up) who has never married and has always lived on their own? Do you think they are happier? They live at their own pace. They can live how they want. Life is probably less stressful. Or do you think they are just stuck in their ways an are just too independent to live?
I am in my mid 30s. Never married or have kids. Me and the girlfriend are starting to get serious. I am at a bit of a crossroads if I would rather just go solo and move on

Plenty of married men with bitch for a wife and fricked up kids.

A solid 60% of them are divorced, single moms in your 30s. That number will increase to 85% in your 40s. Nothing wrong with that but it isn't exactly like dating in college.

You want to visit Stella and me?
Posted on 8/26/19 at 9:21 pm to fallguy_1978
The hot ones are like 30% kids. They're much easier to frick, way better in bed than college chicks, and you have to deal with less bs

It's bliss, but you'd better make damn sure you don't want kids. I have more of a cosmic, ad infinitum view of existence, so it doesn't bother me. The concept of "legacy" is meaningless to me.
But, it will get tricky when you get old, I mean, really old. With no spouse or kids, you might end up in a very bleak situation. Even if you've provided for yourself, you might get hurt or develop an ailment that prevents you from making sound decisions. In that case, if you do have money saved, some of your relatives might line up to declare you senile or a vegetable so they can grab your moolah.
Then, you'll spend the rest of your life staring out the window of some state home, praying for a death you are too incapacitated to give to yourself.
Choose and perish.

I have a lot of friends who are among the earliest Baby Boomers and seven of them remain unmarried and are well enough off from having had good careers and the brains to hand onto their money.
The one thing missing from their lives is having someone to help with decision making...someone who cares about them and can see the alternatives. Everything from keeping an ancient car working at ridiculous repair costs to getting wrapped up in small cities where their friends are mostly superficial.
