[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 40's and married with kids. Most of the never-married guys in their 40's and 50's are big drinkers. Pretty much all of the ones I know are very damaged in some way and wouldn't make good husbands or fathers.

Some of the single women are the same way, some party and some don't. But some of the women are very lonely. A couple of them are good people but I think they have some issues that have led to them never getting married although they desperately want to. The two who I'm thinking of have some crazy rigid superficial requirements and don't seem to look for the right criteria for a good guy. One is mid 40's and one is early 50's.  It's a shame because they're both really kind people and they really want to get married. They don't see how they're sabotaging themselves. One of them is a very involved and wonderful aunt so she has that.

The people I know who got married but don't want kids seem to be doing just fine. Lots of good food, travel, etc. I wouldn't trade my kids for anything, but I can see how it's nice to be able to live so well on a lower HHI, have tons of free time, etc. Socializing can be a little bit of an issue for them late 30's - early 50's because most people are either busy raising kids or single partying. It's not as easy to find friends to hang out with. It gets easier once people are past the raising kids stage and are available to hang out, but I can't imagine not having grandkids when I'm older.
