Can a woman in her late thirties be marriage material?

Anonymous
Just got out of a marriage with my soon to be ex whom I met in my twenties and tried desperately to make it work with for the past 10 years.

I am devastated but I always wanted to be married and have a family. I just picked the wrong one who developed mental health issues and dragged me down with him.

Will anyone still consider me marriage material?

I am classy, physically fit and considered moderately attractive. I love to cook, decorate, play with my nieces and travel. I also love to workout and decorate.

I am looking for a good quality man who wants a wife and a family.

Look for a guy who is okay with having kids but wouldn’t be devastated if it never happened. The guys who 100% want a family probably aren’t looking at late 30’s unless they’re okay with adopting.

You'll definitely be able to find someone if you put yourself out there. Physically fit people tend to be really attractive. Lean into that. Especially in your 30's.

Absolutely! Go for it. Confidence is attractive, OP.

My sister married for the first time at age 39 to a man who had also never been married before and had twins at 42.

There are many, many attractive women on Hinge in DC on their late 30s / early 40s with “don’t have kids / want kids” in their profile, so you are not alone

Don't fall for the whole internalized misogyny crap OP! Of course a woman in her late thirties can find someone to be happy with!

I am surprised OP asked this question as a woman. Women are incredibly confident about their "worth" and "value". They think they can snap their fingers at anytime and a bunch of men will line up to be chosen....

I’m an unmarried childless 48 year old woman. So I’m not what you want to be, but I’m happy and ok. And I’ve dated a lot and now am in a long term relationship and have some insight.

First, what city do you live in?

Second, do you have a good job and no debt? That helps

Third, my advice is you focus on dating single or divorced childless men only right now. Go on lots of apps. Go on lots of first dates.

Fourth, here is the good news. A lot of divorced men start arriving on the market in their forties. So once you get to the age where you are willing to date divorced dads (I would not advise that at this age as you are still marketable for thirty something single men) there WILL be men for you to date. They have the baggage of being divorced dads, but plenty of them are cute and nice and funny and smart and fun to date. Your dating life will not be over just because you turn forty

I am 38 years old single man and I have a lot of friends my age and older who are single and/or divorced. I will say this though most men who are not married by 40 there are issues with them I am sorry but its true. My friends who are divorced with kids are just so much more natural at dating relationship etc....

TBH your best chance is a slightly older guy, like late 40’s.
