I know a man like that, only he's pushing 40. My thoughts are he either has a character flaw that's not readily apparent or he has commitment issues.
Turn it around- What would you think of a woman in the same position?

My wife's brother is 45, professionally successful, attractive, never married. He has anxiety over commitment and is very shy, never approaches women so doesn't meet many.
If this guy is outgoing and friendly, and has not had at least a couple of long term relationships, I think gay.

I would think that he's not likely to ever get married - or if he does, it will be to a much younger woman. And I would think that he's a lovely person who probably has intimacy issues and is a hard-core bachelor, very set in his ways. In other words, not someone to date.

Dented can.
Marked off and put at the front of the store in hopes it can move. May something wrong on the inside but you just can't tell. Buy only if really desperate.

Even worse if he's attractive.

The consensus is wrong?

He's rational and not particularly religious. If he doesn't want kids, marriage puts him in a worse position in all categories.

I have a relative who fits the description you gave, and I believe the reason he's never married is that for so long he had this idea that the 'perfect' woman for him was out there, somewhere, and so he never settled down with someone who met 8 out of the 10 things he was looking for. Now he's 50 and the women he meets tend to be divorced women with baggage or much younger women...and I don't think he's into either. He's a great guy, though, and would have made a wonderful father. I think he probably has a lot of women wondering the same things about him that OP is wondering about the man she knows.
Those are called commitment issues.
Np. No, it's called not settling!

+1. I have a colleague like this, but pushing 40. He dates a few women a year, but feels no desire to commit. As long as he can easily find someone willing to have sex with him, he is happy and feels no need for a deep relationship.
