Sounds like you aren't marriage material!

That's what out of your league means.

No, PP is right. I spent my early twenties attempting to date within my own religion. I suppose the idea was to check one of those "marriage material" boxes right off the bat. Then at age 26 I met a woman completely randomly who was not my religion but much more enjoyable to spend time with. We became marriage material when we met each other. |
Perhaps a better question is who has a marriage agenda? Many people make marrying their priority for various reasons including but not always for love. Some people (women & men) just don't make it a priority but would be suitable should that be a goal of theirs. |
No way, this is just not true. Timing and flexibility is huge. There are many fat, old, and ugly married people. Be serious. My married friends vary in terms of looks/professional success but the married ones met their now spouses in their mid 20s. They found equal ish matches in men who had the shared goal of settling down. Finding the right person (an acceptable match) at the right time (typically mid 20s) is about luck. Of course you can increase your options by being especially marketable and having flexible standards but being hot and/or rich is not at all necessary. |
Some people have a difficult time coming to terms with the reality that they are a flawed human in search of another flawed human. |
Marriage material: Good in bed, good at cooking, good at planning awesome vacations & weekends, good at cleaning & tidying, good with babies, toddlers, adolescents, tweens & teens, good at keeping family traditions, good health & wellness & fitness, and good at supporting me. |
I always appreciate hearing the truth like this even it makes me a little bit ill. Marriage material = making a man's life easy and happy. |
Yep, well said. |
I was just going to say KIND. |
What reason do you think men should have? Why else would we bother? |
Yep, I’ve seen the same thing. These are the women who say things like “men are too intimidated to ask me out” or “she’s just jealous of me” and you just nod politely while not pointing out the litany of off-putting things about them that they are completely blind to. |
A better question is, what makes a man marriage material?
How big his bank account is. |
Someone who wants to be married? |
