[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in their forties who have never been married or in a serious, long term partnership  have issues. Doesn't matter if they are male or female, they have issues. If they didn't have issues, they wouldn't still be left on the shelf.  It's like shopping a clearance sale. You can find a good deal, but you have to shop.

I'm happily married, but disagree with this statement. I have a few friends who are unmarried because marriage was never a huge goal for them. Marrying and having kids is not the end-all-be-all for everyone, and good for those who are smart enough to recognize that it is not what they want instead of just blindly following the path.[/quote]

Yes, but generally those people aren't on OKC, Match, etc. trying to get dates.

I am not the PP but I did post before about being single (divorced) in this time frame, and almost every woman I dated &gt;35 who was &quot;never married&quot; (to include long-term relationships, not just marriage) but was pretty insistent it was something she wanted, there were reasons (mostly self-sabotage and fear of emotional intimacy) that interfered.  I don't think it's related to gender at all.  I did date a few divorced women who were very clear they didn't really want to get married again, and were happy being &quot;single&quot; but wanted someone to do things (to include sex) with, and I never encountered the same kinds of wacky &quot;getting to close&quot; freakouts. Easy, natural friendships.  [/quote]
