Looks, folks.

In the end, you marry what you can get, just like everyone else. If you think that x is "too old" for you or "y" must be a loser because he's never been married, then keep looking.

Just don't be surprised to find that your reach exceeds your grasp and you end up having to scramble like every other "successful" thirty something with high expectations. In the end, it's not about what you deserve, it' about old fashioned economics: supply and demand.

Aaaaand...what would that be? Because as we ALL KNOW, any never married man over 30 has serious hidden issues.


He is gay.

i am 42, married for a long time, and when i look around i think every single guy i ever had even a minor crush on is married with kids. there basically nobody left that i would have interest in if i had to look around. good stuff moves fast.

LOL, does Amal Amaluddin know that?


She's certainly smart enough to know.


She's drop dead gorgeous and incredibly wealthy. Normal rules don't apply.

Nothing incredible about her wealth, a dime a dozen in central London.


Yeah I don't know. I mean George Clooney is 54 years old and there's a 16 yr age gap. If he was 40 years sure..but I'm not really sure he's "that eligible a bachelor frankly as maybe a younger movie star. Even if he has preserved his looks and is rich. So I do think Amal Amaluddin did have to "settle" in a way.


+1. Who under 40 actually talks about George Clooney? Who really considers a 50+ never married guy a catch?


This is Clooney's second marriage. He was married to Talia Balsam in the late 80s/early 90s.


yeah and even then he had issues. He stated he should have never married then. Gist is, anyone who says Amal Amaluddin had the winning formula that most women should follow because she waited till her late thirties to marry George Clooney is on crack. Plus, most women want kids.

...you do realize you can propose to him, right?

My wife proposed to me. Same with a lot of my friends who are married. Then again, I'm from California, and we of the West Coast master race aren't saddled with a lot of the hilarious WASP bullshit you guys are, so that might account for the difference.

Ask your wife if she would have preferred that YOU had proposed to her instead, and report back, please.


PP here.

You must have extremely low standards for communication if you don't think we'd thoroughly discussed the topic. She was glad I didn't propose, she finds the concept of men proposing to be archaic and sexist. (She also didn't wear a white dress to our American wedding, opting for a dress in a color she describes as 'slut red'.)

Tldr: feminists are better than you at everything, including love and marriage.


Thanks for reminding me why even though I am a woman and believe in gender equality that I hate feminists!


We hate you right back

She's certainly smart enough to know.

Worked out for her - to not marry till late thirties, and to marry one of the "rejects" by age in your book.


Hmm...she married at 36 to a guy heading into his mid-50s. His "hot" days were behind him. He's rich and famous, so I'll give you that. Still, so NOT what you're average 30yo woman dreams of settling down with.


+1 Love how in general people like to shame and criticize older men for settling down with much younger women. However when it comes to George Clooney and Amal amaluddin they are suspiciously silent. God he is old..he may already need viagra. And his past is nasty and sordid and full of drugs and sex. What a catch.
