Not pathetic in the slightest. I spent my 20's partying, my 30's being a workaholic and now have crossed 40. If I had married for the sake of marrying I'd be miserable today. During my adult life I have met, and dated, some amazing women but none were right for me or me for them. You either meet someone that's a long term match or your don't. Forcing things just leads to messy future. So no I don't find it pathetic. I find the divorce rate pathetic.
Everyone's situation is different. I think most who say they are truly happy without kids and a family are in denial. That's just my opinion. But no, I would never label someone pathetic based upon their relationship status.
Pathetic? No. Disadvantaged? Yes. Guys in their 30's more hitting their stride, becoming more confident and attractive to women, (granted some let themselves go and become gross toads) and girls in their 20's are an attractive dating option compared to women in their 30's.
It’s not pathetic. Some people have standards and won’t just be with anyone for the hell of it or to say they’re with someone. Only people with inferior intelligence think it is pathetic to be single at any point in life.

That they are women in their 30's that are single. You're relationship status doesn't indicate the person you are. Do you think this of men? There can be so many reasons for a person to be single, AND, it's not BAD! That's the real issue, why society views single as "bad" and "something's wrong with you".
I think that women in their 30s have exchanged sexual market value status with men in their 20s, and many of whom are finally faced with the realities of that. Not necessarily pathetic, but misled and lied to by modern Feminism.
If they've never had a relationship, it might be a red flag, but it's possible they got out of a relationship recently. My girlfriend was in a 10 year relationship until 28. She started dating me at 32 after several short (less than a year) relationships in the interim.
@FictionalCharacter a girl I know has a mother who doesn't want her to date anyone but the person she'll marry. If that doesn't really make sense, join the club. So even if I found her attractive, I probably wouldn't date her because I wouldn't know if I wanted to marry her until we've been dating. So the reason why she's single is a red flag. Maybe she gas really specific requirements and no guy meets them. I doubt I would meet them, but it is still concerning.
It’s a trend that has been consistent since sometime in the 90’s…I’m fine with it since I interact with younger ladies from 25-35 years old. My answer is YES…just be sure you’re on the same page with the subject of having children.

It generally depends on their past.
A girl who partied and racked up cock in her teens and 29s who is single is pathetic and deserving of her situation
a girl who was in a long term or hadn’t been with anyone but got her shit together instead... are not pathetic. It’s unfortunate.
I think that it takes time and trust to find someone you truly care about and want to be with. it takes time and energy to be able to just have that with anyone you meet.
love takes time. i think this would be what i say for any one at any age that is single
its so sad that anyone would think a single woman in her 30s should be seen as pathetic. what sort of people do you associate yourself with? doesn't sound like decent people.

I’m 30 and never been in a relationship. I’m about myself and if they right person comes along cool. But I don’t want to spend my life saying “ wow I’m alone” I focus on my career, friends, and family. I’m glad I didn’t have kids early and I’m glad I didn’t rush into anything.
I don't think they are pathetic, but it does raise the question in my mind about how they ended up in that position. Was it a matter of their choices and priorities, or have they just had bad luck with relationships? If the former, I would be a little leery of them.
No. I’m tired of hearing about women in their 30s being thought of in such a negative light. Like everyone’s situation is different, it’s not black and white.
It depends on the reason. If she's led a life with my level of hardships, being single could prove a blessing. No one to desert you when the going gets rough.
If she's not looking for a relationship then I said good on her. I totally get not centering time around finding relationships. Besides at least for me, I have my friends.
No, that’s silly. Pathetic because one is single is nonsensical. There’s plenty of other items that could make the pathetic list. Maybe we can figure out why? What do you guess is pathetic about you?
It's a symptom of her not being valuable in a long term relationship so she could not get that. Now you may say it's because she didn't want that but these aren't mutually exclusive.

What do you mean in tjeir 20s?
The decade between age 20 and age 30.
If they've never had a relationship, it might be a red flag, but it's possible they got out of a relationship recently. My girlfriend was in a 10 year relationship until 28. She started dating me at 32 after several short (less than a year) relationships in the interim.
Why is it a red flag of a girl never being in a relationship?
@FictionalCharacter past 30 makrs me think there's something that prevents them. That worries me.
“Prevents” what do you mean?
What are you ‘worried’ about?
@FictionalCharacter a girl I know has a mother who doesn't want her to date anyone but the person she'll marry. If that doesn't really make sense, join the club.

That means I’m the chosen person for you my dear

I mean I'm in my 30s single but I see no problem with it. I'll find my Mr right until then I'ma do me
Well said
@Bklynbadboy12 thumbs up
They may be divorced.
They may also be Lesbians.
They may also have demanding careers that crowd their lives..
They may also be too selective.
