I find marital commitment leads women to be lazy in a relationship and less sexually interested. Since I no longer want to make babies, I'm not inclined to commit. Exclusive dating? Ok, but not essential.

This.

Well, men who are 40ish or older are either divorced or never married. Both groups are full of men who are disinclined to commit. And those looking to commit often do so only when they find a younger woman.

Consider using a sperm donor to have a baby. The pool of single men who have never had kids and want to get married and start a family, particularly those aged 35 and older, is limited. And you'll be competing with younger women for these men, so you gotta be realistic. Better to be a single parent by choice than to raise a child with a bad partner, and being a single parent is infinitely more satisfying than becoming a step-parent.

But after all that, if this isn’t about having kids then don’t get married - there’s too much downside!

There’s another big batch of divorced men who want to ”companionship”, maybe another marriage, and something to show off to others that someone likes them. They might get married, plus want someone to care for them immediately and in the later years.

Who cares

Most men interested in marriage get married before they're 40. The market of 40 year old men is what's left.

Horseshit.

They are wary of the women desperate to be taken care of financially, though.

Guy here. If you are unable to support yourself, I am not looking for another mouth to feed

I think more and more women are finding that marriage is just a terrible deal for them and the market (men) are reacting accordingly. Of course, if you really are interested marriage at that age, there will be lots of guys available, but you need to be up front about what you want. Make sure you really want marriage and not just a kid- you don’t need the former for the later.

Is there really no interest from men over 40 when it comes to serious relationships and marriage?

Exactly how would you know this?

Troll thread.
