[quote=Anonymous]I know plenty of people - male and female - in their 40's who are never married.  Most of them are pretty normal.  The craziest people in my social group are actually married or divorced, so I'm not sure you can extrapolate someone's fitness for marriage by whether they've been married before.

The bright side of a 45-year-old who hasn't been married is that they likely do have less baggage.  Like it or not, if you are a divorced person, you probably have some negative feelings toward your ex and maybe their gender in general.  You probably have some stuff to work out over why your marriage didn't work.  You may have kids you're sharing with your ex, and it may or may not be amicable.  I've dated my share of divorced guys and most of them have some issues related to the marriage, and some custody issues to work out.  It's never all that easy.  It's so much easier to date the never-marrieds.  (as long as you accept that some of them are single because they choose to be.)

Most of the child-free women I know over the age of 35 (and maybe 30) are happy to date guys with kids because they know that's the pool at that age.  Most of them know they won't come first in your life.  If coming first in your life is their thing, they'll find someone without kids.[/quote]
