[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's a man, I'm guessing they may have an intense career or are working 24/7 and didn't have time for relationships.  (this was the case for my husband, who was in his late 40s when I met him, just as he'd wrapped up a business venture, and was taking off time before his next venture..... knowing how hard he works now, we would have never met at all if it weren't for his being on break between companies)....

If it's a woman, in my experience, it is different...I know several super gorgeous women who never wanted to settle, got proposals from professional athletes, gorgeous smart fun men, and I think were so used to having their pick....that they waited too long...these ladies are still single and with unavailable men...

Of course, there are just some patterns/anecdotes.... there are many reasons one might single, a lot to do with luck and timing too.

I would NOT say single over 39 is a red flag....[/quote]

Many women are like the man you describe in this scenario. I married someone I did not feel right about at 32 due to family and social pressure. I did not have time to date. Zero time. I was always working. That was 15 years ago. Now I think there is less pressure for people to settle so they stay single longer. I am divorced. Marriage was the most miserable decade…I wish I had been 10-15 years younger and I would have been one of the people described in this post. Far better than making a mistake with marriage. [/quote]
