At what age do guys stop fooling around and are actually looking for a lifetime partner? Looking for there future wife?

[Anonymous]

I'm young, but I'm looking for a lifetime partner. Many people I feel like aren't and I'm just wondering...

[Matt21]

it really depends on the person and their maturity level and mindset.

Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted to have a loving family and to be the best husband and father I could be.

I met an amazing girl on a school trip to Europe 3 years ago and when we got back home started dating immediately and have been in love ever since.

it might not ever happen, there is no special age of maturity and self respect. some people are raised to have it from day one others will never get it. Its up to you to weed out the bad ones and hope and pray the perfect one for you sneaks through and finds you

Late 20s or something? I don't know. I think it depends mostly on the guy's character.

[guy532]

I'm 26 and I am even though circumstances wouldn't allow it (moving to the opposite side of the world again in like 6 months). I really don't want to move, but I also look forward to it because then I can stop fooling around and actu find someone long term.

Most men I know didn't exactly do that. At some point in their 20s or near 30 they were just in a relationship and happy and wanted things to stay like that. So they got married.

Those who actually think 'hmm time to settle down' tended to be early 30s if their career was on track. Later otherwise. Possibly earlier if Muslim.

There's no age when it's like "ok, now I stop", it all depends on when I meet the right girl. If I met her at 22, then I'm gonna stop fooling around, if I'm 25 and haven't met her yet, I'm not gonna stop fooling around.

Every guy is different usually it's whenever they enter their late 20s this is because they end up getting all of the energy and bullshittery out of them. But some guys wise up when they turn 18. Just depends on maturity level

[guy532]

perfectly said, I'm so fucking sick of all these unstable immature women (my fault for picking them) and all the huge pile of bullshit that comes along with it. For example, I was dating a girl a couple months ago and I completely swept her off her feet and she was telling me she never wants me to leave (I'm moving) and that she wants me to stay with her forever, telling me she'd move for me, telling me she's never felt like this before and I'm everything she's been looking for, basically never had a girl show a higher level of interest. We dated for two weeks then bam, gone. We met again after almost a month and she's freaking out and isn't ready to date anyone since she just got out of a longterm relationship. Starts crying and telling me she really likes me and has very strong feelings for me and would love to date in the future. We end up continuing our date after basically breaking up and she starts tellling me how our future kids would look like (not in a joking way), couldn't

[guy532]

keep her hands off of me, telling me she wants to visit when I move and that I'm the type of guy she'd instantly fall for all over again... you get the picture. Decide to ask her out again a few days later because fuck it, the girl basically made it aound as if she thought we were fucking soulmates and she ends up texting no and she's not sure if she'd ever want to meet. Now THAT, is the biggest pile of BS I've ever experienced.

[RedWolf130]

That sounds like a roller coaster of emotions. She sounds extremely unstable the way she keeps changing her mind day after day

[guy532]

You have no idea man. I've never ever EVER been more frustrated and disappointed when it comes to dating. I've never had my head more fucked up from a girl before.

[RedWolf130]

I know the feeling man. I had a girlfriend just over a year ago but I ended it because I wasn't happy anymore and she tried to control every aspect of my life. Whenever I ended it she tried to say she'll never love anyone as much as she'd love me, she'd never move on. She stalked me for 2 weeks, standing outside my house. It got the point where her mood flipped. She threatened to kill my friends. She then tried to stab me as I quote " nobody is allowed to have you but me" . 2 weeks later she got a new boyfriend who then tried to stab me as well. Mind fucked on how girls can go from I love you to wanting to kill you. To this day they're still going out but she's a proper druggo now

[guy532]

Fuck me that's a story and a half. That's crazy dude, can't believe that the guy also tried to stab you like wtf? I feel like having a girl I just started dating wanting me to stab her ex would be a slightly humongous red flag. Well they're both crazy so they're perfect for each other.

[RedWolf130]

Yeah I know mate. I see them around sometimes it's quite awkward haha but sure such is life for where I'm from

It depends on the guy, but keep in mind that most guys are not interested in marriage at all these days. The risks of marriage (to men) have continued to increase while the benefits of marriage (to men) have continued to decrease to the point that today, marriage is generally considered a very bad choice (for men).

[pepito_guy]

At age 20, I'm looking as of now. As these are my college years and there will never be another point in my life where I'll meet as many people.

[hunkkennedy]

What? I never fooled around and always wanted to be with my the one. Even if a girl gives me a seductive look, i look down and shy away.

[cavmanier]

It depends. Some are looking at your age and some never want to even be monogamous.

[Asker]

Whyyyyyy :/ I just want to find my future husband

[cavmanier]

A lot of guys like to play. They want to put their energy into their career and having fun with guys and experimenting with different girls. At 25-30+ more guys will be interested in being more serious.

[TripCadore]

I personally won't be looking for a lifetime partner until I have significant income and can support myself along with another. That doesn't mean I don't want a partner until then (and I don't want sex). It'll have to wait until after College.

[TonnyStryder]

Early to late thirties, but some are looking for partners after college,

[scorpioDude]

I'ma loner. honestly I don't think I would make a great husband.. I try to stay away from people haha

[Glen68]

depends on the guy. personally I've always wanted a lifetime partner even when I started dating in high school

[legalboxers]

I was at that stage at 21. my ex fiancee was crazy and I thought she was normal.

[Thecanadiandreambaby]

it all Varys from guy to guy there. no age when we grow up some just want different things

[Reddingo]

It varies on the guy I suppose. I've been trying to settle for years but no joy

[Anonymous]

Its always later and later. Many men look at it as a burden.

[oooduc]

Never fooled around and never will.

[evenlift]

More and more guys don't want that.

[scorpioDude]

sadly true and I'm one of them..
