Posted: 2/21/2006 2:12:26 AM | W.C. Fields once said " Marriage is a great institution, I'm just not ready for an institution yet!"
I didn't get married until I was in my thirties, and have never regreted waiting that long. I would have waited until my death bed, or as long as I felt I had to in order to be with the one I wanted to share my life with. There is no age limit on getting married is there?? I've never seen the schedule posted anywhere.
Some may feel that they regret having not married earlier or even marry at all. It's their choice, and no one has any right to judge them for that choice. As long as you are happy with, and in your life, does it really matter if you marry at all. | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 10:46:08 AM | There is nothing wrong with being 30 and not married.
I was well over 30 when I got married although I never ever thought I could actually get or wanted to get married. Heaps of reasons why not.
One doesn't have to be married to live happy ~ content ~ satifying life. Single or couplehood.

Posted: 2/21/2006 10:52:48 PM | TWO ladies proposed to ME(!) but by the time I thought I'd like to, they had changed their minds (they each proposed within the first 6 months of the relationship). After several back to back long term live-ins in my twenties, I've been so "picky" (according to friends) that I can't seem to get past the first date. Living in a state where most my age are either married, damaged goods, or heavily laden with "baggage" doesn't really help either.  | |

Posted: 2/24/2006 1:14:31 PM | | Is it more men or women who are over thirty and not married? | |
|
| Thirty and not married
Posted: 2/24/2006 1:22:12 PM | Depends....men and women that are single with no children vs. men and women that are divorced/seperated/widowed with children.
Which group are we talking about here? | |
|
| Thirty and not married
Posted: 2/25/2006 12:48:14 AM | Thirty and not married, seems like a lifetime ago to me. Then there was forty and not married. Another lifetime. Still not married.
Single. Engaged. Married. Separated. Divorced. Widowed. I was thinking about it. Seems like people's lives are defined by their marital status.
No, really. People can be happy or unhappy, either married or single. Isn't it better to be single and wish you were married, than to be married and wish you were single?
Perhaps, I will never be married. But I sure am pleased that I have not been divorced. | |

Posted: 2/25/2006 9:17:28 PM | | It is becoming more common to find people marrying after the age of 30 or not marrying at all. Mainly because people are staying in school longer and then establishing careers. Also, back in the day people got married because they wanted to have families. Now, career oriented women are adopting or choosing other alternatives to start families without husbands. A new craze is catching on. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 6:16:37 PM | I'm almost 37 and have never married or had kids. At this point, my mother doesn't care whether or not any grandchildren I may provide her are legitimate or not!
I came close to becoming engaged once in my 20's. It was one of those $hit or get off the pot situations...
... I got off the pot.
Cheers! | |

Posted: 2/27/2006 8:08:30 PM | Reply to "Broken Soul"-Like you said, not everybody is like that. I'm over thirty and I've never mistreated or screwed a woman over, though I had many chances to. I just believe in monogamy, that's what works for me. I am also a very honest person. "Experts" say that at LEAST half of the people "out there" LIE AND CHEAT, so, it's a flip of the coin. I'd guess that most people have been cheated on at least once, even some of the most rich and beautiful people in the world, according to the papers. As cynical as we who have "been there, done that" tend to get, most of us are here looking for someone to at least connect with for an instant. So keep lookin' and don't get too bitter.  | |

Posted: 2/27/2006 8:13:58 PM | xcntric thank's for replying to my post...
I was liveing with a man who was everything i wanted and more in an man but he wasn't so "innocent" as it seem to be he was sleeping around on me with a woman in her late 40's he was 20years old and i thought everything was fine between us but "looks" can be deceiveing and, altho he was what i wanted in an man didn't mean that he was perfect.
And there is NOT alway's going to be a man out there that will do us the way our ex's have done us or sleep around on us like they have and i think women/girls should quit blameing everything on men and holding, judgement towards all men just because of what "ONE" man has done to them in their realtionships. | |

Posted: 2/28/2006 4:42:25 AM | daisylily9 asked,
"How many Women are over the age of thirty vs Men over the age of thirty not married?"
=========================================
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the median age at first marriage (as of 2003) is
27.1 for men and 25.3 for women. That means that one-half of each group have been married by the specified age.
DivorceMagazine.com provides these statistics (as of 2002) about the percentage of people ever married by ages 25, 35, 45, and 55:
Percentage of people who have ever been married by the age of 25: Males: 32%
Females: 50%
Percentage of people who have ever been married by the age of 35: Males: 77%
Females: 84%
Percentage of people who have ever been married by the age of 45: Males: 87%
Females: 90%
Percentage of people who have ever been married by the age of 55: Both males and females: 95%
So, at age 25, 68% of men and 50% of women have not yet married.
At age 35, 23% of men, and 16% of women have not yet married.
I hope that helps. | |
