[quote=Anonymous]I know a couple of women 50+ who are single. They are all slim, attractive.

1. one had family issues growing up. That colored her view of marriage and kids. She's had several ltr, live in bf. Open to marriage, but not necessary
2. the other one was super close to her parents and family, and really picky, very opinionated, doesn't want to deal with compromising. 
3. this one is a flake. Never had a real ltr, just a series of flings.  Has a high opinion of herself. I think she has some family issues, too.

All of them are intelligent and seem to be happy with their lives. They travel a ton, go see friends, and do whatever they want.

Deep down, I think most people want a partner, but some people would rather stay single than have a partner that they find lacking.

I never really dated much. I found most men good as friends, but I was not attracted to them. Maybe I had too high standards, but I would've rather stayed single than marry someone I found lacking. I did eventually get married at 32.  He's a great guy, but he doesn't check off "all" the boxes, but by 30, I realized that I had two choices:  stay single forever, or set reasonable expectations about some things and marry a great guy.  I chose #2, and I'm glad for it.  If I had not set those reasonable expectations, I think I would've ended up single forever.[/quote]
