I'm a 32 year old woman am I too old to find a good man to marry?

[FlowerRoseStar]

I keep hearing online men want a woman who is in her prime about 18-24. And after 30 she's too old and "hit the wall". By the way I have no children either.

Everyone has preferences. For a lot of guys being our age but desiring the college age women is their fantasy, that's an uphill battle. Hence the whole, you need to be a "high value male" mindset. Along with the other side which is telling women they aren't interested in that they aren't desirable.

I don't think you'll find too many issues finding someone to date, just that as we get older we have more baggage and have to make more compromises there. It isn't necessarily body count or anything like that. It could be debt, the time and investment in a career, family, so on and so forth. Going both ways

Of course it's simpler to have someone young who is a "blank slate"(also with very little to have in common). My belief is that relationships go both ways though, the attraction, compromises, effort and attention to make them work.

Just keep putting yourself out there, be clear on your hard and soft limits, dating can suck, but something will break :)

Not at all , Age is really just a number , when people hold age as a deciding factor , they are only limiting themselves from meeting someone that actually might be amazing to them , I dated girls that were younger and older than me, so it all comes down to chemistry and connection and attraction , if I see a beautiful girl that catches my eye , her age isn’t the first thing on my mind , getting to know her is the first thing on my mind to see if we connect well and we have things in common , Of she is continuing a conversation with me and we start flirting with each other then that’s all the really matters , the topic of age might come up later in the conversation and when it does , and I find out we have a big gap in age , I am not automatically going to hate her and tell her good bye , my intentions is to keep getting to know her and possibly hook up with her and keep continuing to see each other , So do t really hold age as a deciding factor , I know most girl’s like older guys , so there are plenty of older guys that would love to be with a 32 year old girl , so do t seek yourself short because of your age , it really doesn’t mean shit , just find a guy that has a lot in common with you and finds you attractive

Unless the man is wealthy or the girl is a big girl, very few 18-24 year old women are interested in men in their mid to upper 30's or above. With that being the case, men that you would be interested in have to settle for who they can get. Therefore, depending on your looks and other factors, there are men in their mid 30's and above that would marry you.

However, at that age, they are more aware of how bias the laws and family courts are so they are less likely to get married, but the difference is not great. In any event you choices are not near as good as when you were ten years younger because many of the guys you rejected prior to age 25, no longer want you.

Certainly, there are nice men that will marry you provided you don't have unrealistic standards. However, what I suspect is that the men you want will not marry you because they can do better and that you reject as not acceptable the men that would marry you.

You are not old at all! Most people who say the 18 - 24 thing are usually people who spend all of their time online, don’t speak to women in real life and certainly don’t get girls. Never ever listen to what people say on GAG etc. as it’s mainly full of incels and people with very abnormal beliefs honestly

[Summeroflove]

Look now. You’re still in child bearing years anyways. Yes I believe you can find love. Absolutely!

Sure. Not all guys will be into you and that’s fine. Because you’re looking for the one. You’re looking for the one whose made for you.

Don’t take it personal if a guy just respectfully doesn’t want to be with you. Because not everyone will. The same as I’m sure there is guys you would reject

[OlderAndWiser]

My fiancée is 59 years old and she found a decent guy to marry.

[Avicenna]

Of course you aren't too old. And not having kids is a huge advantage. I would advise you to start looking for a guy now, though.

[HighValue]

Good high quality men that want yo create/raise a family are often likely to avoid women past 30. If they date someone for a year, then live together for a year, if they try to have a kid together she would be 33 minimum if they were dating since she was 30. One year to recover then have a second by 35 which is the age limit to be likely to have a healthy kid if a pregnancy was successful at all.

Regardless of people's wishful thinking, biology matters. Women past 35 have less than 1% chance of ever having a healthy kid. For every one woman that can, there is nearly 200 that can't.

If you want healthy kids, I'd suggest making that your priority in life before it is too late.

Me personally, a high quality very rare man would not consider a woman past 30.

[bobalife]

Lol you’re 32. I’M 32! 😂 we are not old, girl. It’s disappointing and concerning thinking of the small percentage of good candidates as potentials in our age group. However, don’t listen to that negative talk. What matter is valuing yourself, working on yourself, and living your best life, so you have something good to offer for the right person and you give yourself the right type of love that you want/need. Therefore, when/if the right person found you, then go for it.

[warsevf]

The practical reason is the kids I think.

I am 29 and i am worried for the same reason as a guy. I am immature and also can't approach. I have good job but i have no wit to live in this world

It will take a while before I finally start dating.

The point i am trying to make is to hang in there.

No one knows, age is a concept which exists to compare yourself to your peers. In practical sense it works. But finding someone is not practical, isn't it. Its unpredictable

[WindAtMyBack]

You probably want a man, not an immature child. Guys who say nonsense like "18-24" is prime are too young and immature to know what the heck they are talking about.

"I keep hearing online"

Forget about online. Get out in the real world with people who don't waste their lives away online. Meet people and have some fun with people who have a life.

You are not too old to find a good man. However, it can help not to keep your own age bracket too narrow for that man. With a man your age you can have the trouble that he is in no hurry to marry and you do have younger competition. It may balance better with a guy ten years older.
Of course, the main challenge remains to find a good man, not just any man, but I suppose that counts for all ages.

[FunkyMonkee]

Of course not!! I didn't get together with my future ex-fiance until we were both 34. I had just turned 34 a month before we met, she was a few months shy of 35. We had a GREAT time together for most of the 10 years we were together!!
I'd still be interested in someone your age!

[Reaper1985]

really depends on your morals, your overall health and your personality as to weather you'll find a partner to settle down with and maybe have children with.

however helps to have a low body count these days if your legit about wanting something long term. the higher a persons body count is the harder time they have when trying to pair bond regardless of gender.

[Anonymous]

I am 30 years old but unmarried. Age doesnot matter. When it is destined and planned ny God it will happen. I have seen many women get married even after 30 and 40. And they have got good companions too. All these are God's decisions. Believe in him and pray to him. He must have written something good in your destiny. do not give up.

[lightbulb27]

When you get aggressive, dating skills, be your best, and do the work, then it starts to happen...
Waiting for God is random chance.

[Opinion Owner]

Im tired, i want it to happen naturally.

[lightbulb27]

not sure that is reality. may have some chance if it is arranged or you pay someone to help you.

[Opinion Owner]

I dont think so, i have other plans. Will pursue phd degree

[stepyo99]

Enjoy being alone with your wine and cats and framed piece of paper because you spent your time pursuing that instead of a relationship. What you put your time into is what you receive.

[lightbulb27]

@stepyo99 that's very true and so often, it's avoidance of ones own issues and mis-programming.
nothing wrong with bettering yourself, but I know people whom have kids, a job, are married AND do the PhD! There is no one or other required.

[Haha456]

you likely will be attracting a lot of men in their 40-50s. Just because an old guy wants a woman 18-24, it does not mean he can get her. these women have plenty of options, they don't have to go for old aging men

[lightbulb27]

Total BS, I know some married mid to upper 30's, I know women in 30's dating, I know people in 40's and 50's get married.

[OlderAndWiser]

Are you telling stories, jack?

[lightbulb27]

@OlderAndWiser say what? It's all factual, I could pass a lie detector test.

[OlderAndWiser]

No doubt!

[FictionalCharacter]

You’re never too old to marry someone. But from my online experiences, guys didn’t care about my age. They cared more about how much money I was earning and if I had a job. But in the end, I wasn’t valuable to them.

[OfMiceandMen]

That's pure BS. You still have plenty of primetime in your life yet. I think being fit and healthy has a lot to do with how long couples can still have kids these days. It has extended this period tremendously.

[Anonymous]

Not necessarily. The single biggest obstacle that older women have (I don’t consider you old, I mean not in their 20s) is KIDS.

We don’t want anything to do with that. I mean some men do. Very few. Very very few. But that is just a big big deal.

[stepyo99]

You aren't getting any younger. More than a decade of your child-bearing years are behind you and not many are left. Why did you wait this long before suddenly deciding now you want a good man to marry at 32?

[Nikki1989]

I have known women in their 60s that have married.

Don't listen to idiots online with their "hit the wall" nonsense.

[Anemone978]

Not too old.. date lots of dudes you will eventually find your match..
Stop believing clowns on the internet they are the ones most likely to end up alone 🤣

[MementoMori777]

You not having children definitely higher your chances, get out there more, I'm sure you'll find somebody, it's not going to happen hovering around here, I'm sure we can both agree on that 😆
