A lot of these people are attractive.

Are they women? There are a lot more dateable women out there than dateable men. Women are just more likely to be thoughtful and caring towards other, to take care of themselves physically, etc. It’s e easier for a man to find a reasonably attractive, nice, relationship oriented woman than vice versa.

I'm OP. A lot of them are attractive men. But also some attractive females. Maybe Momma's boys?

Some people just aren’t interested in marriage. My uncle was attractive, straight, a surgeon, but never had any interest in marriage and kids and that lifestyle. He traveled a ton and had a bunch of time consuming expensive hobbies and also volunteered a lot with Doctors Without Borders type organizations.

But wouldn't you see them date people over the years?

Have you found this is usually the case? Why else would a religious person want to stay single into their 50s?

No.

My brother. 55. Never married. Many, MANY women throughout his life. Very attractive, charismatic, athlete--most popular guy in school. Not a momma's boy and not gay. He never wanted to be married and it's a good thing. He would have left a wake of destruction in his path. He took a very long time to mature. He's a good guy now. He lives in NYC where it's quite normal for many (men and women) to never marry. He has a very active social life. He left a very intense corporate job to teach around age 36.

I have had many friends ask me to set them up with him and never would I do it. I don't think he is a great partner. Fun? Sure. But not someone to have as a serious partner.

^ but I'll add. Not religious at all. I missed that part. We were a lapse, non-practicing family.

I know a bunch of women who are never married in their early 50s and one who is 65. They just never found a decent guy. Dating in DC is not easy, and they gave up years ago.

Also, by the time you are in your 50s, there is no one good left who wants to get married. There are tons of divorced men who don't want to ever get married again. Datable women outnumber men here, so single men have their pick of the ladies and are having too much fun to settle down.

No.

The other siblings are happily married and have been for decades. Kids doing great too.

This assumption is extremely off.

I am a person in that category. I am not gay, and I resent the assumption that there is NO other reason someone can't be single.

Just stop.

This. And once a man has made his money he absolutely does not want to get married especially to someone he won’t have kids with. It’s a losing proposition for him.

And you post this on a relationship forum. Go be single.

The people I know like this are just... well... incredibly boring.
