Can a man in his late 40s, never married, be marriage material?

And this is the problem. He was looking for a quasi nurse for long term care, as he was getting older.

Pretty much everyone could find someone to marry them.

Yes, ofc. My sweet, successful uncle was like this. He was pretty shy when younger and very close to his parent and siblings. Ultimately, he went to law school, became a successful attorney (a partner at an IP firm). So I think he worked a lot too, at one point. He finally met a nice woman in his 50s and they are now happily married (no kids for either).

I'm happy for him. Just sad he didn't find someone sooner as he's a great guy and would have been a great dad.

If not a closeted gay he is probably on the spectrum and has non-existent social skills. It took him a lifetime to find his perfect match.

Have a friend like this. Several hook ups but a few failed long term relationships. Very focused on her own happiness. Wants a man who makes more money than she does. Could she ever be marriage material?

I know if a highly successful business man who didn’t marry until he was 50. His choice. Seems happily married.

Seriously? You're using a gorgeous, famous, wealthy celebrity as an example?

Inaccurate in every way so kindly STFU.

He’s over 45 now and still not even a significant girlfriend - I don’t think he’s ever dated anyone consistently/exclusively for over a year. He’s just not made for it, which is a shame because he’s so handsome, successful, stable, fun, smart etc.

I think he is smart. A lot of women aren't worth the headache

I am 47 divorced and 2 kids. I don't for the profile in the question but I hope no woman ever finds me marriage material ever again. I will happily remain single forever. On this forum women always remind us how much marriage isn't worth it to them. Hey for some us men it is not worth it either. My experience with my ex wife has shown that some women are really good at seeing the faults in someone but ask them about their faults nope they will frame their faults as an extension of your faults lol

Yes. We prioritize our freedom and independence. And not putting up with your BS.

I’m sure Clooney didn’t have trouble finding sexual partners before he married Amal.

For everyone else, no. They are either unable to perform out of atrophy, have weird sexual habits that would kill my desire, and/or are diseased.

Vibrators have none of these problems.

He was married before her. So, he does not count.
