Some of you guys sound like a ton of fun to be around, real laugh a minute types. /sarcasm
If you are 35+ and have no ties or obligations (family, financial or otherwise) from a former relationship I would think it would be even easier to get out and meet someone. | |

And just how do you suggest that we do that when there is nothing available out there.
All the women that are out there have some kind of university degree, and some of us men have barely high-school, there is not even a glimmer of hope for a guy like that, since no women would even want anything to do with somebody like that. Not that I am blaming them, but the end result is the same, and when you are over 40, it is too late to get anything to compete with those that have university degrees | |

Are you saying there are no women anywhere near you? Not one? Every single woman in your entire area has a degree? Every one. Wow. You know every single woman? That is amazing! You sound like a broken record.
I don't have a high school diploma and I live on an island. I am dirt poor and have a car that is so unreliable that I don't dare RSVP to anything. I still refuse to give up. My mother always said "can't never could". I just applied to school at 43. I have no idea how I will pay for it or when I will go but... I am still going to try.
You should delete your profile and move into a cave somewhere. I mean, what's the point? You have given up. So sad. | |

it's never too late to go to school if it's a worry...even if it's part-time...even if you're 50, 60, or beyond! there are now tons of online classes & degrees where you never even have to step foot on campus if you don't have the time...and they're legitimate, accredited degrees....you just need to search around for a good program & avoid the ubiquitous matchbook cover degrees. never say never, my dear! | |

it's never too late to go to school if it's a worry...even if it's part-time You can not get to go to university without high-school, and since I can never graduate from high-school, I will never be accepted to higher level of education
BTW, the reason that I can not graduate from high-school is because they require to be able to pass sport class, but due to a physical problem I can not do sport, but since I can walk, therefore the handicap that I have is not recognize by society since 99% of those with that handicap can not walk | |

Are you saying there are no women anywhere near you?
I did not say that there were no woman, I said that those that are around here all have university some degree and are not even interrested in somebody like me.
That is just the reality of things | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 2:43:35 PM | Yes, this is a fact written in stone as well as if you are still a virgin, you will die a virgin.
Seriously what I don't care for are the men that are in their 40's and didn't marry and yet want to make babies. That I find to be ridiculous...oh wait, I'm not serious about that either.
Statistics are hard facts and trends. The averages take in all statistics. That means there are those that marry more than once after they turn 35 as well as those that never do.
Your life is what you make of it. If you have issues with relationships, do something about it. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 3:04:27 PM | | don't know about canada, but in the u.s. people can get ged's & then higher ed...and sports classes aren't gonna stop it. are you *sure* there's nothing you can do?? maybe you should check into u.s. programs. i'm guessing if you're a certain age, & from a diff. country, they're probably not gonna press too much for a h.s. diploma...might have to take some sort of test &/or make some phone calls to the people who have some decision-making abilities to bypass it. worth a look-see. (and, actually, i knew someone from a euro country who never did get his h.s. transcripts sent to a u.s. college, and got into a u.s. school and graduated...hard to trace old school recs in a diff country) | |

WHat good is it to have a foreign degree if you can not use it
And beside, by the time that I get a degree, I will be lucky to be only 60years | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 3:22:18 PM | | rat...geez...you can get all sorts of computer jobs...ibm has shipped a good chunk of their jobs to places like india where it's done cheaply...it's all online...you can be anywhere in the world! ( i also have a cousin working in a diff state in the u.s. ... no reason to move if your j.o.b. is online.) those are just a couple of examples. there are jobs in many fields where you could work from canada. you could even get a visa & move if necessary. (i know a guy with whom i used to work who spent his entire life moving for jobs...china, alaska, the philipines...he's even married to a a filipino gal...he lives in the u.s. & she lives there...and they make it work...and have done so for almost a decade). at any rate, if you don't even bother to research it, it's a for sure "no go." worth looking into, at very least. it's up to you as to whether you want to try or not. there are no guarantees, but you have nothing to lose except a little effort at least looking into it. don't say "no" before you've even checked! exhaust every avenue...and you have yet to begin...! btw, with a fresh degree and an online application, who the he*ll is gonna know how old you are??? what do you wanna do...wait another 10 yrs, give up enteirely??? i'm only suggesting you at least LOOK! | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 8:27:58 PM | I won't say that you will or won't find someone after your mid 30's, I'm still dating and willing to try new things and constantly meet wonderful women, but myself I don't get those giddy feeling's of "high-school-like" love anymore or a major desire to commit to someone I'm not in love with.
So I'm not quite sure if I'm getting jaded in my old age, or if I'm finally maturing as a person and placing less emphasis on superficial things. I'd like to think it was the latter, but I really think it may be the first. It seems like the older I get the less important traditional things like marriage is. Not that it's over rated or unimportant, but I don't think wearing a ring and saying "I do" is any less of a commitment as just loving someone and being faithful ...I could be wrong though, maybe it's the pentacle of true commitment   | |
