[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tend to assume that anyone of either sex who states that he or she wants to be married, but has never found the right partner by his or her [b]mid-30s[/b], probably has some deal-breaker that makes no sense to rational people, prioritizes his or her career or hobby to a fanatical degree, or has a problem making any kind of compromises at all, even the dinner-at-7-rather-than-9 sort.

This is for people who WANTED to be married. Now, if you told me you'd been very overweight and avoided dating, that would seem like a reasonable explanation. If all I heard was, "It just never worked out," I'd be more cautious.[/quote]

Whoa! BIG TYPO. Meant *mid-40s*.[/quote]

+1  I think the thing that makes it a red flag is if you want(ed) marriage/kids.  It's not a red flag if you never wanted to get married/like your independence.  If anything, single guys 44 and over probably will breathe a sigh of relief because I think never-married and divorced men in their mid 40s and up aren't really looking to be pressured into marriage, etc.

The red flag is really if you seem like you really want(ed) marriage and are actively looking for it.  IME, there usually is a reason why a woman or a man who actively wants to get married isn't able to by mid-40s.  The reason isn't necessarily ominous, but there's usually a reason.

I can't emphasize enough that the above doesn't apply if the person very clearly never wanted (and likely still doesn't) want marriage.   [/quote]
