What if you picked wrong in your 20s?

What if you picked the wrong guy to marry in your 20s? What if you wake up alone and single in your 30s? Are all the men really leftover losers?

I look at it this way. A lot of terrific people (as I assume you view yourself as) will become available due to death of a spouse or divorce so the market will replenish itself. Viewing people as leftover losers however, does not put you in the most favorable light.

It is a major concern for most women. Let’s face it, the majority of men are going to be losers. There are only a limited number of jobs that paid well.

Married in my mid 20’s, divorced at 34. Found an amazing, wonderful man (that’s younger than me!). Years after the fact and could not be happier with my life.

There are no guarantees in life about anything. Your best bet is not to worry about it and just go after your dreams.

I realized it pretty quickly once we started talking about having kids. I thought I do not want this personnel to be the father of my kids. So, I initiated a divorce. Met an awesome guy and got married 3 years later at 31.

Let's face it, an awful lot of local women call a man a loser if his job doesn't put him in the top few percent pay wise. We call those women whores, due to their blatant obsession with their sexual partner's money.

Then you get to get divorced and become the mistress you were always destined to be in your 40s. Heal your wounds, op Live your truth!

This is the fate of many of my friends. They are in their late forties. Many talk about divorce, but now they're screwed. Most haven't worked in decades.

No, actually you are the leftover loser.

Marry only for love, and not for other reasons. I know couples that married to reproduce offspring. They divorced, and they are now with their high school sweet hearts.

Why anyone would ever trust themself to pick their LIFE PARTNER in their 20's is beyond me. You have the rest of your life to be married so I have no sympathy for those who rush it and end up making a huge mistake.

If this is your world-view, and maybe it's valid, then by the same logic many men picked wrong and are in the same boat.

I picked mine at 15. Married him at 21. We just celebrated 30 years of marriage. I know many, many people just like us.
