Unmarried men, at what age is something seriously amiss?

[Anonymous]

In your opinion, if a man is I married, but typical background (college, maybe masters or grad school, healthy dating background) no long trips or absences. At what point do you begin to thing it's that either he doesn't want to be married or is not marriage material?

After 28, I expect a man to date for the purpose of looking to settle down. Before that it is for everything else but marriage.

By 35 - he is not marriage material.

I think that some guys decide that they aren't the LTR/marriage/kids/white picket fence type...and they just plain choose not to marry. I've known some happy bachelors before - great varied dating life, freedom to hang with the guys whenever they want to w/o answering to anyone, responsible only to themselves. There are trade offs, I'm sure, but they seem fine with those trade offs.

I would consider it "amiss" if they seemed odd or unhappy about their life, needy but doing nothing about it...trade offs not really working for them.

Are these men that you know upfront with the women they date about their desire to not be married or do they pretend to be looking for marriage to bed girls and aren't?

You've got to explain this one...

Different men decide to marry at different ages. I wouldn't judge based on age alone.

Do they lie to get lucky? I honestly don't know the answer to that but I don't think so.
