I would consider it "amiss" if they seemed odd or unhappy about their life, needy but doing nothing about it...trade offs not really working for them.


Are these men that you know upfront with the women they date about their desire to not be married or do they pretend to be looking for marriage to bed girls and aren't?


Do they lie to get lucky? I honestly don't know the answer to that but I don't think so.

Different men decide to marry at different ages. I wouldn't judge based on age alone.

After 28, I expect a man to date for the purpose of looking to settle down. Before that it is for everything else but marriage.

By 35 - he is not marriage material.

In your opinion, if a man is I married, but typical background (college, maybe masters or grad school, healthy dating background) no long trips or absences. At what point do you begin to thing it's that either he doesn't want to be married or is not marriage material?
