[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have to agree with the people who've said that you waited too long. 
I was considered a very good catch (well-educated, well-read, fun, pretty, fit, good family, etc.) in my twenties. I was also a late bloomer and wasn't ready for the high quality men people set me up with. Until I was about 23, my entire life was about achieving things and I was burnt out. I didn't want to settle down with the right man then. I wanted adventure, I wanted experiences, I wanted to date just for fun. 
I talked to a lot of people about it, and most of them warned me that if I waited, I'd miss the window. I made the conscious decision to take the risk. I lived the life I craved and didn't date with much intention or seriousness until I was about 33. By then, options were more limited. The men interested in settling down with me were too old, divorced, and so on. I again made the decision not to settle down with a man I didn't really want.

So, I'm now in my mid forties and have not married. I'm at peace with it. I knew that I was taking a risk in waiting, but it was the right thing for me at the time.

No, you're most likely not going to get what you want, especially if you're not even attractive. There are tons of successful, interesting, charming, fun AND fit and beautiful women in their mid thirties who are looking for a high quality partner and they're probably a lot classier than you too. Most of them won't even find what they're looking for. My friend who was a 36 year old surgeon AND MODEL married a guy who works in a furniture store. [/quote]
