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

I'm early 40's coming away from serious illness - it certainly would have sucked to go through alone. I couldn't imagine going through that in my 60s or 70s without support.

Thoughts? I'm thinking 45. I'm thinking most people are set into their ways by that age, and any potential partners have more of the baggage and less of the benefits.

It’s actually a parabola and not a straight line slope.

Prospects get much greater for older men who are healthy, starting in your 50’s.

I think theres no one-size fits all outlook. If you plan on having kids then obviously get married on the younger end for the sake of the child's health if you're a woman. Otherwise, theres no difference. People get married and re-married at all ages.

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.

People may get set in their ways, but they've had the benefit of experience and collected wisdom. Having a conversation about life with a 25 year old vs a 50 year old is night and day.

Getting married late in life is a separate issue from why and who you are marrying late in life.

Is that sausage soup? Where’s the roux?

Dude, the other day you asked what side goes with jambalaya and then you call the below gumbo




What in the world is wrong with you?

That’s a horrific looking gumbo.
