I don't care what anyone says but if you were a high quality man, you should be taken by a certain age. And if you're 50 and still never been married. There should be no reason why you've been looking for so long and still can't manage to find anyone. Must be something severely unlikable about you which is why no one wanted to marry you
If you haven't married by 40 you have a 1 in 4 chance of ever marrying.
Duh.

If you don't care what anyone says, why are you bothering to post? LOL
Let's unpack your nonsense, since I have a minute or twelve:
* ... if you were (are) a high quality man, you should be taken by a certain age.*
Please DO define what a "high quality man" is. Then when you're finished, tell us WHY he should be TAKEN? What if he doesn't want to be taken?
* para-phrasing" ... 50 never married, no reason why you should have been looking so long and couldn't find anyone... "
Has it even occurred to you that not every man in the world is LQQKING to get married?
Has it even occurred to you that such a man might be exactly what a woman thinks she wants, but he's not interested in marriage?
You foolishly assume that marriage is the ONLY choice for all humans to make, and that they all intrinsically WANT to make that choice. That's your first mistake.
Your next mistake is to assume that someone must be horribly unlikeable because they're not married. Let's just say that's not the most brilliant statement ever uttered by a human.
Many notable historical figures and celebrities never married (Beethoven, Queen Elizabeth I, Clara Barton, Susan B. Anthony, Louisa May Alcott), some of whom were extremely likeable and loved by everyone who knew them. The most notable in my mind is Linda Ronstadt. You can't find anyone who knows her that doesn't like that woman.
So whatever you're going on about here being unmarried at 40, or any age, is pure nonsense.
There is something wrong with you if you don't want to get married. Only traumatized people or people raised by single moms say they don't want to get married
Ans how do you know people loved queen Elizabeth, Clara Barton, Susan b Anthony? Were you alive 250 years ago?
Bullshit. That's nothing but your own perspective, which is not universal. Unmarried people are not "ill"; people who get married because they think they're supposed to are the crazy folks.
So in your brilliance, you figure that nobody at all even "liked" either one of them? LOL Do you even know who Clara Barton was, and what she did? She didn't live 250 years ago. She was a beloved nurse during the Civil War. Try doing some research and thinking before you write or speak, for a change of pace.
@loveslongnails
how do you know she was beloved? were you alive 250 years ago? just because she pioneered nursing , it does not mean she is a likable person.
Hmmm... maybe she was a little BUSY doing all of the above and prioritized helping thousands over raising some rug rats. Did THAT ever occur to your little mind?
and just because she did all of that, it does not mean she wasn't TRAUMATIZED. She could've had an entire host of mental health issues which was why she never wanted to marry. Maybe she didn't trust men. Maybe she was one of those who was too afraid of entering a relationship due to early childhood trauma. These types of people do exist.
and trust me, they are not high quality individuals.
Only traumatized people or people raised by single parents never tend to want to marry. Because there should be no reason why someone wouldn't want a loving marriage and caring family. If you don't want this, it means you have issues.
@loveslongnails
You sound like you're 100% offended by my question. I see your time has run out by 40. I can see why you're so angry and causing so much of a ruckus on here.
well why do you think you both haven't gotten married?
because you both are settling for each other, knowing you both can't get anyone better
if you both found each other a perfect fit, you both won't be avoiding marriage
@loveslongnails
Try and use one of your two competing brain cells to understand this: my partner and I have been together for 12+ years. We've outlasted the average first marriage by 4 years already. ** We don't NEED a piece of paper to tell us what we have or what our relationship is... you do! That's your thing, not ours. We'll be together long after you're divorced if some unfortunate bloke marries you to begin with.
Perhaps the other brain cell can work on this one: the fact that we've stayed together, and continue to do so, is PROOF we aren't settling. LOL Every day we choose one another, again and again, no piece of paper telling us we have to.
A legal document doesn't mean forever. Other legal documents get you out of the first one.
You really have some abandonment issues, girl.
@loveslongnails
if you are in such a committed loving relationship then why are you so angry at this question?
clearly you're still super insecure about still having to check that single box on that IRS tax form every year.
you're either single or married... there is no in between
its crazy funny how hard you fight for a relationship with someone who you would never see you as "the one" or make you "the one"
long term dating relationships are a sham. they're not marriages and will never be marriages. they're just made up of two people who don't see each other as permanent partners due to a huge mismatch of some sort, and are waiting for a better fit to come along some day.
In other words, you're just a placeholder till someone better arrives. If she truly wanted you, she would've married you a long time ago. No need to wait 12 years.
@loveslongnails
there are people who would date you for 10 years then propose to another person they only dated for 6 months... why? its because they are their dream partner, not you.
@loveslongnails
sorry but roomating is not the same as marriage and will never be. i don't care what you say
if you are in such a committed loving relationship then why are you so angry at this question?
* I'm not angry, as I told you before, at your question... I'm bothered by the arrogance of your response and your assumptions. Are you capable of knowing the difference?
clearly you're still super insecure about still having to check that single box on that IRS tax form every year. * This is a very assumptive and foolish comment, but typical of your responses
you're either single or married... there is no in between. < ~~~~ THAT is a legal concept. Nothing more, also something you don't understand.
its crazy funny how hard you fight for a relationship with someone who you would never see you as "the one" or make you "the one". *** It's CRAZIER that you think you KNOW anything about us! LOL It's crazier that you believe "marriage means you have found THE ONE", which explains all the people who get married multiple times.
You choose not to address points that prove yours to be weak, don't you?
Ever hear of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell? They've been together 43 years. Yeah. 43 years.
Now go tell them they are just "place holding till the right one comes along", LMAO
long term dating relationships are a sham. they're not marriages and will never be marriages. they're just made up of two people who don't see each other as permanent partners due to a huge mismatch of some sort, and are waiting for a better fit to come along some day.
** You're entitle to that opinion. It doesn't mean your correct, especially in light of evidence to the contrary.
** 50% of all marriages fail within the first 8 years in the USA, so stop talking about "the right one" please. The data and evidence say you're wrong about longevity, and the rest, as I say, is your rather small minded and arrogant opinion.
In other words, you're just a placeholder till someone better arrives. If she truly wanted you, she would've married you a long time ago. ** Or, if she didn't want to get married either, and didn't want me, she would have left.
You can't seem to live with the idea that a piece of paper and a few words at a ceremony are not what keep people together. You just can't handle that.
You never do stop blabbing, do you? Yes, we already know you don't care what ANYBODY says. LOL
Are you married? In an established relationship long term? Do tell.
@loveslongnails
I didn't bother reading any of your BS. All I know is... I'd rather spend the rest of my life with someone who can't wait to marry me rather than stay stuck with someone who refuses to marry me. Staying stuck with someone who would never marry you is not a prize. It's a prison meant to keep you away from finding your one true love.
No verbal agreement about commitment in the children's playground will ever override REAL LEGAL COMMITMENT CEMENTED UNDER LAW
Sorry but your girlfriend is just a roommate. I can't imagine how someone can have so much pride in having a mere roommate rather than a wife.
"Playing house" like little kids playing husband and wife is not the same as actually being husband and wife.
Of course you didn't read it. Took much for you to mentally comprehend. I'll keep it short because of your lack of attention span and cognitive ability:
You're entitled to your opinion about marriage, but that's ALL it is. It's your opinion. Nothing more.
I pointed out that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together 43 years and never married. Why don't you go tell THEM they are just playing house, or afraid to commit, or they're just settling waiting for the one. LMAO They'd get a huge laugh out of that.
" I can't imagine how... blah, blah, blah..." Exactly correct. You can not imagine. You have a limited viewpoint and a close-minded intellect, so it follows that you "can't imagine" anything outside of your own little world. Now stop writing. You made your point endlessly, and we will forever disagree. Try and be an adult.
@loveslongnails
I just said everything that hurts too much for you to admit...
Let's face it... you don't want to get married because you know she is not "The One". She is an imperfect match. You want to reserve an easy exit once you find someone better. Another reason why you wouldn't leave her is because you have low self esteem... you don't believe you can find someone better. Staying in a subpar relationship is better than being alone
Of course you will never admit this. But I have enough life experience to know.
Things always happen for A REASON.
You both aren't married FOR A REASON
@loveslongnails
if you had just left her and looked around for someone else who might be a better fit, you might be a husband and father by now. Not some dumb guy pretending to be husband and wife with a female roommate.
@loveslongnails
[I pointed out that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together 43 years and never married]
they might've been cheating on each other for 43 years... just because they've been together for that long, it doesn't mean its a good relationship
Countering your ignorance and assumptions is hilarious fun on a rainy day. LMAO
I just said everything that hurts too much for you to admit...
* Huh? LMAO right, because I'm the one in a secure, long standing relationship... and you're a single, desperate woman praying some man will tolerate her! LOL
Let's face it... you don't want to get married because you know she is not "The One".
Let's face it... you're too intellectually close minded and limited to comprehend anything outside of your own beliefs. Still waiting for your response about Goldie and Kurt... 43 unmarried years together. PLEASE tell me you will write to them and offer this same bullshit. LOL
PLEASE tell me you will explain how they just settled for one another for 43 years. LOL
Of course you will never admit this. But I have enough life experience to know.
** You're 25 years old. LOL You're basically an adolescent when it comes to relationships. You just "think" you know what's good for EVERYONE else's relationships, when you don't even have one of your own.
Things always happen for A REASON.
Right, and things DON'T happen for a reason... which is, we don't need to get married to prove a damn thing, not to you, not to anyone.
How's the air up on your high horse? Is it rarified up there? LMAO
You both aren't married FOR A REASON
Hahahhahahahahahhaha... that's PATHETIC. OMG, let me copy that again:
" just because they've been together for that long, it doesn't mean its a good relationship"
Ask yourself this, Einstein... do people who are MARRIED for 43 years NECESSARILY have a good relationship, JUST BECAUSE they are married?
My word, I'd be afraid to give you a paper bag for fear you couldn't find your way out of it. LMAO
@loveslongnails
The difference between a couple who is married for 43 years versus a couple dating for 43 years is
That the married couple chose to COMMIT for 43 years.
Dating is not the same as commitment
I know of a couple with a daughter who have been together for 30 years. They cheated on each other on and off all throughout those 30 years
@loveslongnails
By the way, I'm 31. Not 25.
My boyfriend was in a long term relationship with a girl for 9 years till they broke up
He admitted that he never wanted to marry her because deep down in his heart he knew she wasn't "the one". He loved her very much but admitted he was just wasting time with her
Bullshit. You're not answering the real points. After 43 years, you're fully committed, you goofball. LOL. Being MARRIED doesn't stop you from doing ANY of the things you mentioned. It doesn't stop you from cheating, it doesn't mean you're fully committed. It's just words and a piece of paper.
So you can stop answering me now. It's pointless. Your reasoning makes no sense at all, and all you're doing is spitting up examples that also make no sense. So enough already, think what you will, and go away.
So you're 31, but your ANON says 25-29, so you lied about your age too. Your 31 and not married. He hasn't asked you. Big surprise. Now just go away.
@loveslongnails
length of a relationship is not a sign of commitment. You may be cheating on your spouse on and off throughout those 43 years.
If you want to truly PROVE your commitment, sign the marital papers. It's not hard.
When you tell people you have been dating your girlfriend for 13 years, people will usually raise their eyebrows and wonder why you wouldn't marry her. They're not going to outright tell you because it's rude but it's definitely something they will wonder and find weird.
I don't care about how committed you are to your girlfriend. There is no bigger sign of commitment than marriage.
length of a relationship is not a sign of commitment. You may be cheating on your GIRLFRIEND on and off throughout those 43 years.
[Your reasoning makes no sense at all, and all you're doing is spitting up examples that also make no sense.]
both of those are true stories. None of them are made up. Just because it hurts your feelings, it doesn't mean they're fake
You keep spitting up the same things without using your brain. If length makes no difference, then signing a piece of paper makes NO difference either, for fuck's sake.
Why can't you get this through your head... these two things are IDENTICAL
Length of a relationship is not a sign of commitment. You may be cheating on your GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND on and off throughout those 43 years.
Length of a MARRIAGE is not a sign of commitment. You may be cheating on your WIFE or HUSBAND on and off throughout those 43 years.
Why the F don't you understand this? LOL You think saying marriage vows is some MAGICAL potion that means " I'M COMMITTED, there will be no cheating!"
Look at the stats. Look at the numbers. Everything proves you wrong, so again, please just go away. You obviously can't comprehend simple logical points, let alone statistics.
@loveslongnails
"Length of a MARRIAGE is not a sign of commitment. You may be cheating on your WIFE or HUSBAND on and off throughout those 43 years."
No one said married couples never cheat. But you are much more likely to encounter cheating In a dating relationship compared to a marriage.
When you rather date your girlfriend your entire life than to marry her, it already shows you ARE NOT COMMITED
I have no idea what makes you think dating is the same as marriage. It isn't.
@loveslongnails
Who is more likely to cheat? A man who refuses to marry his girlfriend or a man who wants to marry his girlfriend?
Trust me, If you WANTED someone enough, you would marry them.
No excuses, No ifs or buts.
@loveslongnails
Marriage is the CONSCIOUS DECISION to commit. There is no bigger sign of commitment than marriage.
Not saying cheating can't happen in marriage. But it is way more likely to happen in dating relationships than marriage. Because dating is not commitment.
Dating is another word for a non serious, temporary relationship. Marriage is a forever life long contract. If you rather avoid the forever contract, you are not committed. I don't care what you say
" Marriage is the CONSCIOUS DECISION to commit. There is no bigger sign of commitment than marriage."
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... I say 43 years of staying together and raising children WITHOUT a piece of paper is a BIGGER COMMITTMENT than marriage. Oh, and I'll use your statement " And I don't care what anybody says". LOL
"Not saying cheating can't happen in marriage. But it is way more likely to happen in dating relationships than marriage. Because dating is not commitment."
This is where you really sound like a fool because you won't look up data. I'm not doing it for you, I know the answer.
Are you done repeating your same useless points? It's the same shit, different day.
@loveslongnails
[Hmmmmmmmmmmm... I say 43 years of staying together and raising children WITHOUT a piece of paper is a BIGGER COMMITTMENT than marriage.]
don't you think there is a reason why they haven't married? because i know of one couple who spent 30 years together, had kids and constantly CHEATED on each other on and off with multiple different people over 30 years.
[This is where you really sound like a fool because you won't look up data. I'm not doing it for you, I know the answer.]
you know what I've said is entirely true... it's just too painful for you to admit it so you go into full blown denial.
@loveslongnails
When a couple has been together for 43 years and never married, there is always A REASON for it. Because they don't ultimately want to commit to each other.
do you know how UNROMANTIC it is to tell your partner that you will never want to marry them?
do you know how SHITTY IT FEELS to be with someone who refuses to marry you?
and you are sitting here telling me that you feel great about how your girlfriend rejected your marriage proposal so you go ahead and lie to yourself that marriage doesn't matter.
@loveslongnails
dating someone for 43 years means that they want to be romantically involved with you but also the option to flirt with other people, have sex with other people and reserve the right to easily and quickly ditch you once they get bored of you.
You can certainly be UNCOMMITED FOR 43 years.
Will you PLEASE just shut up? LOL Everything you say is nonsense and bullshit...
AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN MARRIED OR ENGAGED! LOL You're a loser according to your own criteria. LOL
"do you know how UNROMANTIC it is to tell your partner that you will never want to marry them?"
Romance means fantasy. It didn't bother us. She said "GOOD !!" So you're wrong again.
"and you are sitting here telling me that you feel great about how your girlfriend rejected your marriage proposal so you go ahead and lie to yourself that marriage doesn't matter."
There's something wrong with your brain. I never asked her to marry me, you silly fool. We both agreed we don't want to. WHY do you keep trying to other people what's good for their lives AND what they did, when you don't know shit about them?
What is wrong with you? Just go away.
@loveslongnails
Romance is not fantasy. Love is not fantasy either. So what are you doing with her if there is no romance or love?
Re read this again so you feel stupid
When a couple has been together for 43 years and never married, there is always A REASON for it. Because they don't ultimately want to commit to each other.
do you know how UNROMANTIC it is to tell your partner that you will never want to marry them?
do you know how SHITTY IT FEELS to be with someone who refuses to marry you?
and you are sitting here telling me that you feel great about how your girlfriend rejected your marriage proposal so you go ahead and lie to yourself that marriage doesn't matter.
@loveslongnails
If you feel good about your girlfriend rejecting your marriage proposal, then there is something SEVERELY wrong with your relationship.
@loveslongnails
I promise that if you propose to her, she would say no.
Doesn't that sound like the most unromantic thing ever?
Because you both know you don't truly want each other
@loveslongnails
If you're happy that your girlfriend rejected your marriage proposal, it means you don't actually want her.
(don't tell me you never proposed to her. She would reject you even if you did
You're pathetic AND psychotic. You've been reported several times now.
@loveslongnails
That's your cope for being stuck in a shitty relationship. You can stop pretending everything is OK.
@loveslongnails
Reporting me isn't gonna make her want to marry you.
There could be numerous reasons why someone is not married. You can't assume anything just based on them being single.
Maybe they never wanted to get married, and are just happier being single. Maybe they've had relationships that just never resulted in marriage, for whatever reason. It takes two people to result in a marriage, and maybe they weren't the problem, but the other person was. Maybe they're divorced? Who knows?
That's the point, though; without knowing the circumstances of a person's life, or the history of their relationships, you can't make the assumption that there is/was something wrong with them.
There is something wrong with you if you don't want to get married. Only traumatized people or people raised by single moms say they don't want to get married
Multiple long term relationships and no one wanted to marry you? That's a red flag.
You're free to think that, if you wish, but I disagree.
You're judging people without knowing anything about the circumstances of their life. You're criticizing based upon assumptions, and that says more about you, than it does about them.
I prefer to know more about a person's circumstances, before rending an opinion about something I know nothing about.
@orion8484
No one is going to be fully 100% honest to you about why they are single. It's easy as hell to lie cover up the fact you are unmarried cus no one wanted to marry you. So no, you can't ever know someone's full circumstance cus they will never tell the full truth
I'm sure some people are still single by a certain age because they were so busy they barely ever had time to date but I find this to be very uncommon reason
That's exactly my point, though; you're making assumptions about people that have no basis in fact.
If someone isn't 100% honest about why they're unmarried, then you have no information to go off of, and yet you're certain something is wrong with them.
Why? What are you basing that assessment on? Intuition? Opinion? You have nothing to support your judgement, other than the fact they are not married at a certain age. That's literally the only information you have, and yet you believe that's enough to make a character judgement about them?
What if someone was 40 years old, and all you knew about them was that they were curently single, but you didn't know it was because their spouse died of cancer?
You're assuming something is wrong with them, when in fact they are grieving the loss of their husband/wife. You don't know the facts, but you fedl qualified to judge them?
What a joke.
Well why wouldn't a high quality person be picked by a certain point?
it's not that hard to understand, you're making this way more complicated than it has to be
Do you realize that a lot of guys aren't interested in "settling down" until that age?
I have a relative who dated a lot of girls over the years but didn't get married and have kids until his 50's. Yes, she was about 20 years younger.
Most men don't settle down in their 50s. Having kids in 50s basically means you will never be able to retire and work til the day you die. Not a good plan
@zagor
You're talking out of your ass
Vast majority of men don't have that much money. By 50, most men have a very modest savings for retirement. It cost 10k hospital bill to birth a child. Another 22 years to pay for till it finishes college. College is another 80k.
It would mean you would have to spend your ENTIRE retirement savings on raising that child. No retirement
Most people can't even afford to retire nowadays. Plenty of people working after 65.
I have known multiple men in their 50s who admit it is too late for them to have kids. Lotta them with health conditions, physical limitations, very worn out, or semi retired, Lotta them want to retire and travel, enjoy their last years of life. Very few people want to be tied down to kids at that age.
That is true, most men who want kids have them by that point. But those who decide to settle down late are often better prepared to raise kids.
I don't know what kind of company you keep, but most single guys >50 that I know own their own house, travel extensively, and are able to retire at their discretion.
@zagor
Having kids later is better prepared but you don't want it to be soo late that you can't retire at all. Kids are incredibly expensive nowadays.
I know by the time I'm 50, I want to be done raising my kids. Having spent my entire life working, I want to enjoy my last few years of life before I die. Not being tied down to the home, caring for some kid or having to work full time. Most people die in their 70s. By the time you hit your 55, it won't be too long before you start seeing that funeral casket.
Not all single guys are retired and travel a lot. Some of them have demanding careers where they still need to beg their employers to get time off to travel. Some of them have issues with their leg where they can't walk too far- which limits their ability to travel. Some of them re-married and only travel when their wives' schedules align.
@zagor
but what I am finding is... there is a marriage prime. If you haven't found someone by 40, your chances of ever getting married is super low.
@zagor
that's not true. It's not only for females. It's for males too. Vast majority of men get married and have all their kids in their 20s-30s. If you're lucky, you might still have a chance of getting married till the age of 45. But if you are still not married by 45, your chances of getting married are slim to none. You can look at the marriage data.
The problem is... men over estimate how much time they have to get married since they assume lifelong fertility. The problem is... when you're old, ugly, suffering from erectile dysfunction, it's very hard for you to compete with guys who are still attractive and in their prime. You also do not need to be old in order to be financially stable. Plenty of guys reach financial stability in their 30s and still look Hot.
if you look at marriage statistics, women have always married men around their own age. I can show you if you want
@zagor
it will only reach millions if the population is large. if the population is small, the numbers will be way lower.
just the same analogy: of course in a large population, there will always be plenty more crazy people than in a smaller population.
but the percentage remains the same in a large or small population.
so don't get your hopes up too high
@zagor
Just like saying if only 100 people existed in a town, only 5 people managed to get married over 40 years old. If there were 10 million people, there would be 400,000 people who managed to get married over 40. Your chances of getting married over 40 didn't go up. 400,000 out of 10 million is still a very tiny fraction
500,000 people, I meant. that's 5%
Sometimes it's just a lack of self-esteem. I've known men who would make excellent partners but didn't see themselves as very desirable so they never pursued any of the many women who were interested.
Attractive people don't need self esteem. They usually have people coming up to them. It's usually the less attractive ones or short ones who have low self esteem
@slatyb
if you don't have people coming up to you then chances are, you aren't as attractive as you think you are.
That would depend on your reasons. Most people who are still unmarried at 40 have dug that hole for themselves.
I try to not jump to conclusions about anyone and judge them as individuals. There can be many reason to explain why a person is not married.
If you don’t care what others say, why ask?
I was married once and now i'm about to hit 41, is that a red flag? What if i don't want anyone 😏
there is something wrong with you if you don't want anyone. Usually only traumatized individuals or people raised by single parents tend to not want marriage. Who doesn't like to be loved and be cared for?
Did you read what i wrote you, i was married for 9 years, but after the divorce i lost my trust in women, i'm not saying all women are bad because i have many women who outstanding but it's just i'm not willing to take adventure anymore...
I adore loving and being loved but i'm 90% over!
@tonymetal___1986
so you're just basically saying you are too traumatized to ever marry again.
yup
there is no such thing as losing all trust in women or that all women are bad or that there are no good women. You're just traumatized
Right, sadly i'm traumatized, i prefer not to take my chances anymore...
@tonymetal___1986
yea thats the most common reason why people claim to be happy being single.
but the cons of that are huge.
I don't think there can ever be a substitute the position for a spouse. No temporary relationship will ever make up for the cemented family bond of husband and wife.
I agree and i never said that i'm happy single, maybe if someday, god puts the chosen woman for me in my way, i'll try again, i believe in a forever marriage, if it's not going to be forever, then i don't want it from the 1st place...
@tonymetal___1986
you can't predict a marriage will last forever right from the beginning. you can't "believe" a marriage will last forever. I have seen couples date happily for 10 years, get married, pop out kids then divorce after a few years of marriage. The woman you married might be a different person 10 years down the road... she might get fat... she might get lazy and stop cleaning the house leaving everything for you to do.
there is no definite "I know the marriage will last forever". But you need to take the risk if you want happiness.
Unfortunatly i'm dragged more into the negative road, maybe i prefer to stay like this, at least if i'm not happy then i won't be sad...
@tonymetal___1986
how do you know you won't be sad? Things get hard as you get older, seeing your parents die off, siblings fade away from your life, friend circles dismantling, living day to day gets physically harder, you might have financial issues, loneliness,
I'm not the type of guys who rely on women for finances, cause i prefer to pick the girl who loves to become a housewife, i don't have siblings, my father passed away from 12 years ago, my friends circle in real life is already very small, i'm about to hit 41, i'm not young anymore, and yes i feel lonely from time to time...
STILL with all these, a lot better then having a woman like my ex wife!

you sure are naive for 41. what if you lose your job or break your leg and can't work? who is going to pay the bills? if you get deathly sick and you have a wife with no skills and can't work a job... who will support you while you are dying over the next few years?
if you have kids, things will even be worse. Once you get injured or die, your poor wife will be left all alone with children that she cannot support. you can say life insurance... but will the life insurance be enough? cost of living will only get more expensive in the future.
Having a stay home wife is fun... as long as things go well and tragedy does not hit. But once it does hit, there is no saving you
Thanks for telling me that i'm naïve for my age, guess that's who i am, sorry if i'm not the type that you like, that's just me, whether you like me or not, let's close this subject, thanks for the chat and have a nice day 🙋🏻♂️

i didn't mean that as an insult. just presenting another perspective of the situation
people who get married young doesn't mean they are high quality. Most of them aren't.
Well why wouldn't a high quality person be picked by a certain point?
i don't know what is high quality to you
People can be single at old age for many reasons. Some people can never find their match in the place they live in
People who have high standards can also end up alone. an if they don't lower theirs standards they will never find a partner. Many reasons people can be single. So if the girl get pregnant at teen, does that mean she is high quality? Because someone sleep with her in high school, so she got pick at young age
well doesn't someone with super duper ultra high standards have something wrong with them? why would anyone prefer to be all lonely neglected and alone than to enjoy the imperfect company of someone else? I'm willing to bet these people aren't perfect themselves.
there are many reasons why some end up married or single. they have different reasons. It could be sickness etc. but I wouldn't group together like people who married young are high values, I would not group like this. and if you talking about it's better to be not single, actually it's better to be single than be with the wrong person. Just because someone got married earlier in life doesn't mean they are high values or whatever. also some women choose that, to marry young because of religion or they got pregnant etc, also men. Some people wait. I don't get who comes up with stuff like that, I don't group people like that
also people can change. and lives, you can be really rich when you are young and end up broke etc.
everyone should have a choice to decide if they want to marry, stay single, when they want to marry. not others
@opinion owner
I don't believe that you dated from the age of 18 all the way to 40 and still have not met the right person. Do you realize how long that is? 22 years and you have never been able to find 1 person who is acceptable for you? I don't believe that.
Maybe they were commitment phobic, maybe they have unreasonable standards, maybe they have problems within themselves.
From what I have seen, if you are a decently attractive person with decent social skills, decent character, decent job, you will almost definitely be taken by a certain point.
More of a choice, marrige is just a shitty contract paper.
No. There are many many possible reasons for that.
No it not
Basically.
