Imagine divorced twice with two different sets of kids.
Jesus... kids from 2 broken homes and throw in the X's for a special pain in the arse.

Why does never married get the excuses, but divorced lady goes straight to batshit?

Never married could also mean she thinks you and her dog should wear matching outfits every day.

divorced twice


Either she is the problem or she has horrible judgment. Both are deal breakers

I only have my own experience to speak from. A woman twice divorced at 35 would be a huge red flag. Not having been married is not, unless she is a clinger-on type. Example:

My wife was 33 when we met. She'd never been married. No kids. We've now been together 18 years and married 16 years with two kids. However, that early focus on her career paid off. She's sold one successful business enterprise she started to Ross Perot and has been a corporate exec. at Dell/Perot for the last ten years, only recently leaving to help start another business and also accepted a senior management position for a Forbes top 25 company as a cloud systems architect.

So my experience would say, nope, not a red flag to have not been married previously.

Divorced twice. I feel like some of my friends that got married were just settling on the first girl they had a serious relationship with. I'm not married and in no rush to do so if ever. I feel like it doesn't mean as much to people anymore and they give up to easily.

I'm 25 and single and I feel like I'm nothing close to the norm around here. I don't want to be married until 30ish or a little after. If I'm in some major city then add even more years.

Divorced twice by far

35 and single isn't exactly a green flag either though

Yeah, I'm 31 and the age range I shoot for is 24-29. They start getting cooky after 32. I'm also not looking to take over someone else's sloppy seconds, so a divorcee is out of the question

not in the bumfrick south. All my friends are getting married in their early to mid 20s.

I cannot understand why, other than family pressure.

So true. I try to explain to my parents that just because all 50 or so people from my podunk high school class are married (mostly to people from other podunk high schools), having kids, and/or divorced by now (I'm 27), doesn't mean that's normal. It's a big world out there, and the rural South is a small sample size.

Shitty advice as always. Just more kids these days refusing to grow up, "hey you're not married yet, don't worry man let's just get drunk every night like we're 22 forever".

If you haven't met "the one" that's no excuse not to get married. At a certain age you do certain things. Grow the frick up.
You serious with this?

You know how I know you don't live in the northeast. Majority of successful women worth a crap up here are single in their mid 30s

I was in Livingston parish the other day and met a girl 35 and 2 grandkids.

I met an under-40 double-grandparent the other day too, at the hospital. They (grandma, mom, son + daughter) were receiving "free care", of course.

Started dating my previous gf when she was 35 and had just ended her second marriage.

Current girl I'm dating is 35 and never married.

Previous is way crazier.

Single just means you haven't found the right person.

Divorced once might mean their ex was a bad apple.

Divorced twice? Good chance the problem is you.

I've been dating a lot of women in their mid 30s. That's a really tough call.

I haven't met anyone yet that was 35 and never married where there wasn't a noticible reason why. Either they were batshit crazy or the were impossible to please and had their standards set way too high that no man could ever make them happy.

Haven't dated a chick that had been divorced twice so hard to compare. I do have two buddies that have been divorced twice in their late 30s. Both are really solid guys, just gullible and easily taken advantage of.
