Really depends if you’ll always be second to wife #1. Some guys will be glad she’s gone so they can move on or are open to new love. My neighbor’s husband died and she did not reserve the neighboring plot in the cemetery. That told you how she felt. Remarried twice. |

F would be the way to go if I wanted a family but did not want to go through a pregnancy or have my own biological kids. |
How many never married friends do you have? Or have you tried online dating in your late 30s or 40s? |

I know a good amount of people in all categories, and can say with confidence there's something wrong with a lot of the marrieds. I don't get this line of thinking seems incredibly dated. |
| "No one can help if their spouse died"-I just attended a funeral where the husband committed suicide with a kid in high school. I would be curious to know the cause of death. |
It would depend on far more variables than just these. Including my own priorities and desires. For example, when I was dating post-divorce at 33, I ruled out guys with kids but not guys who were divorced. I still wanted to have my own kids and wasn’t open to the complications that other people’s kids bring at that point. If I was doing it now at 43, I’d be more open to dating someone with kids. The only slight red flag for me in your too-generic list is the never-married guy with kids. Especially if those kids primarily live with their other parent(s). No thanks. |
This. How is this a question?? If you are dating other 37 yr old men, that is young to be already married, divorced, and with kids. They really screwed up and made some bad choices. Now if you wanted to date 45+, divorce and kids is much more common and I would be open to that. |
Anything over 35, single, no kids…there’s something wrong with him. You don’t want to be the guinea pig that finds out why. Run! |
