Do you believe a guy in his 40`s it is a time to settle down?

and get married and ahve kids because so far he still is single, no kids and just had informal relationships in his past or that man marriage material?

I mean I know there are guys nowdays that at theri mid 40`s or late 40s they still continue to be single no married and no kids and probably they just like to date around.

I had girlfriends from the time I was 16. But I didn't start thinking about finding a life partner and settling down until I was around 34. By then I had a good career, assets, had experienced life, and gained a more mature attitude.

I had a couple more long-term relationships after that. But I didn't meet my future wife until I was 40. She is 2.5 years younger than me. Neither of us had been married but we had both had full lives before we met. We got married two years later and have been happily married now for almost 26 years. We've built a great life and had lots of fun together. We're a team.

I was never interested in having kids, though. So there's that. I just didn't want to be saddled with the responsibility. But she had a motherly instinct and wanted a baby. She had two miscarriages early in our marriage, though, so we gave up. She would have been a wonderful mommy. We've talked about it over the years and are actually glad now that we don't have any kids.

Whenever he (or she) wants to is the right time to settle down. Some people never want to and live happy lives

I believe a guy can live his life how he wants as long as he isn’t hurting others 👍 if he doesn’t want kids, marriage etc then he should be honest from the jump and also let his partners know he isn’t looking for a serious route in dating. The problem is - is a lot of guys that are like this start dating selfishly , and lie about intentions/ get a woman involved with no serious intent and that’s why I usually give guys like this the cold shoulder.

No. Guys should get married by age 25. (Women, too.) If not, then there's really no reason to get married. Might as well just continue living your life.

My uncle is 42 and single. He has ladies he spends time with and hooks up with but no commitment and no plans to ever get married. Marriage is really not appealing for most men anymore for obvious reasons.

One of my clients is over 60, never married, and dates women less than half his age. He does not seem unhappy to me.

No. After 40 if a guy isn't married I'd say it's time to accept singlehhod permanently. You're kind of past the family stage.
