Does a single man in his mid 40`s who mostly have married friends feel the need to settle eventually?

[Anonymous]

Let me explain with an example. A famous handsome movie star is 42yrs old, he has never been married before but he had been linked in the past with 11 women and dated and hang out with many women in his past most of them models, reality tv stars and some actresses too, with some he had lasted like 1yr or 2 with antoehr one 4 years and he had been known for on and off relationships but never had settled with either one or had kids either and married or got like pretty serious perhaps with only the one who lasted almost 4 years but they broke up.

Currently like I said he is 43 and it seems he is currently dating a much younger lady maybe in her mid 20`s or early 30`s. (Is like a Hollywood trend now haha). Noone knows who the woman is but it seems she is not in the business and she is an coomon lady , like a waitress or similar he met in a restaurant he used to visit with his buddies, so he hit on a waitress, haha!!. He could had met her maybe not even one year ago. Anyway this actor took her for an Europe vacation trip and now he took her to a formal event in LA, where many stars attended so the public says probably he wants to be serious because he took her to Europe and took her to a formal event, even if they are not together not even 1 yr or so maybe one year. This actor has a group of friends (male and female) who had been together for many years and they are related to the business some are B list actors others work in advertising and marketing and they are so close that they go often to trips to Europe and trips and parties locally. Most of these friends are either married with kids or only married, only 2 male of his friends are totally single with no kids just like him and around the same age.

Anyway since most of this friends actors have families and married, is the inquiry of my question., Do men (in their mid 40`s feel like it is time to settle when his friends have alreayd families and with kids. so maybe they feel it is time to settle even with a younger woman or not necessarily? or men like this actor who had been with many women in his past and never settle with any of them can change his mind and want to settle or he will continue to just casually date with no committment.

I think it depends. I think a guy that has reached his 40s and hasn’t contemplated marriage or anything is a red flag in terms of dating especially if he’s going for relatively younger women. It specifies to me that he is still very unsure about commitment in general and wants a woman that is at an age where he commitment levels are uncertain

In what sense?

Different people want different things. Just because most of his friends are married doesn't indicate that he will want the same.
