Is it bad that 42 year old women is still not married?

No. Some people never get married. Nothing wrong with that. I know several people my age who have never been married. Sure, they are a minority, but a significant minority.
Of the people I know who never married, some were players and didn't want to get married. Some weren't players but just didn't want to marry for whatever reason. Some were bad at the dating game. Some just had bad luck. Some didn't put any effort into it.
There are plenty of reasons. But there is nothing inherently wrong with being unmarried. Many people prefer it that way.

Bad in what way? People will still socialize with her like a normal person and she can have friends, etc.
If she wanted to have kids and doesn't already then that would be bad biologically, but if she isn't wanting to have kids then she shouldn't worry.
I saw a woman get married for the first time in her 60s. The guy was 27 and she was 66 years old. He was madly in love with her and confessed his feelings through tv show that i forgot its name. Point is there’s no age for love and marriage but people make it seem like your life over if you pass 20s and never had a guy in your life.

Only that person can decide if it's bad for her or not.. I mean, if she wanted to be married and it hasn't happened for her I'm sure she'd feel bad... If she's happy not being married at 42, then that's what matters... Not society or stupid asshats with this "socially marketable" crap... Be you, do you!!

Whether that is "bad" is a subjective evaluation and the only opinion that really matters is that of the 42 year old woman.
No not really. Not everybody's built for marriage. It doesn't matter if the woman is 42 or 79 in age, because somewhere in the relationship the man or the wife will eventually cheat on their spouse. In my opinion, when you are married to someone for an extremely long time like 6 or 7 years; the relationship eventually goes dull and stale and just want to find someone else new.
Nope. Not at all. Some people are very capable of being independent, self sufficient and self centered, not needing a partner ever.
This way they can also explore various aspects of life and also explore being with various people for many different experiences to learn and grow from.It depends on whether you want to get married. Not everyone needs or wants to get married.
My girlfriend will turn 42 next year. Age is not an issue to me but the prospect of having a kid is severely diminished at such an age.- Anonymous(45 Plus)
Well it does give me an impression that the 42yo woman would be a very picky person. Which would probably be a signal to me to wonder "if she has said NO to all the other guys, why would she say YES to me?"
And since I'm not about to jump through all kind of hoops to get a womans heart (i strictly believe in just being myself), that mean that it would just signal me to walk away. -
no, you can do whatever makes you happy, waiting for that right man, or just being single, whatever it is best for you :)
-
Its bad for her... but Good for me! Seriously though, that age is prime for her, nits just that most women don't ever know or believe that.
the sexism on here is unbelievable. why would you ask if only its bad for 42 yr old woman to be single? why not single 42 yr old men? this goes back to the days where unmarried women were shamed.
I see nothing wrong with that. There's no right or wrong age to get married and marriage isn't for everyone. Besides you don't need to get married.
-
No, not everyone needs to be married or have certain things in their life to be successful or happy. Everyone's lives are different
-
Marriage is not common these days, more people are calling off divorces, more people are getting divorced, etc.
Times are not like they used to be Well their no rule that you get marry untill certain age or else you wouldn't be able marry after that. So it's their choice when want to get married.
-
Not when you think she’s never been divorced either. She probably has good reasons.
Depends on her life goals and how she chose to live her life up to that point. can you give us a run down on a scenario you had in mind perhaps?
-
She might have a history of guys treating her badly and she no longer wants to get hurt. It could be anything.
-
If she wanted to be married before then, then it would be bad for her.
But othe than that, no, it's not bad. Some people just never wanna be married. -
No and try to think about who gets to decide the answer to your question. This isn't for anyone else to cast onto someone else. Only that person can decide for themselves if it's good or bad.
Only 42? Why isn't it much higher? I don't believe any number of year old women should be getting married! 1 is too young!
Depends on her. If she thinks it is bad, then it is. If she thinks its not, then it is not.
No. It's her decision whether she wants to be single, be in a relationship w/o getting married, or getting married
