| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 11/15/2007 10:06:34 AM | | For all the talk about men only wanting one thing (and it's not marriage) and men being all commitment-phobic, there sure seem to be lots of guys saying "Yes here. Are the gals snarfing them up fast? It'll be interesting to cross reference the posts here with those over in Testimonials in six or ten months... | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 11/15/2007 11:55:58 AM | I have the money saved up; I know where to get Canadian diamonds (that was important to me) and know how I am going to propose just waiting for the pretty women that will have the honour to spend the rest of her life with me.
So the answer is yes after 40 years of doing all sorts of stuff I am now ready for marriage and want to do it.

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/12/2007 1:19:36 PM | Well Leafchick.....I now live in Spain...where if a man is over 35 and has never been married...well this is NOT normal. I am talking about Spanish men not the anglophiles. When I tell people here how common it is for men in canada/u.s. to be over 40 and never married...they are very surprised. I meet anglophiles here and they all seem to be from the same mould. generally not relationship minded..but definitely sex minded. I think generally speaking, (not all) ¨Long term¨ is the bait. It´s the carrot dangling on the end of the stick. BUT, I have been married and when you meet the right one it won´t be hard work...angst, melodrama, blah blah blah.
Come live in Spain. We might be single....but oh life is so much more sunny, warm and fun here!!!!

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/12/2007 3:09:27 PM | Yes absolutely....
I would love to settle down with the right woman in a long term relationship.... Long Term. I've had one special long term (unmarried) relationship for 3 years, & I would love another one.
& by "Long Term", I mean someone who isn't going to move into my mortgaged house for a number of months..... & then leave me broke & destitute when the next "bad boy" comes along, that tickles her fancy... LOL | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/13/2007 5:48:26 PM | Actually, it's funny you'd post this. Myself, I would love to meet a woman who I could spend the rest of my life with. Marry, grow old together. If she's able to, and we think we can do it, possibly have a child. But, that's not a deal breaker. Love is what counts. So, would I get married? Most definitely. Sleep with that person until something better comes along? No. If it's going to be friends with benefits, that's going to be understood up front. But, I'm not into that. Sure, sex is fun, but is it a relationship? Not a chance. It COULD become one, but that doesn't happen often nor can it end well if it ends. I know this from experience. I would prefer the relationship with something long term than someone to have sex with for a few months. | |

I have turned down marriage proposals before and been close to getting married once (in a situation where I would have done the asking). Having said that though, I am also not commitment-challenged.
I suppose the answer to the OP's question in my case is that I would at some point like to but it would depend on having the right woman in my life first and the right circumstances as well.

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/16/2007 11:50:12 AM | Turning 37, never been married, no children, sometimes I feel like I missed the boat and wonder if that kind of thing will ever happen for me. Most of my friends have Children and are married or divorced. I always thought that I would, but never have. *sigh* Where is she? Is it possible that I will come and go in this life and never meet that one special person? Maybe... | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/16/2007 12:21:46 PM | | It is possible not to ,eet the right person, but if you look at divorce and our legal syasstem it can be a deterant to wanting to get married., especially if they are paying alimony and/or child supportThat said I want to find my Ms Right. I have not found her yet and when I do I would like to marry her. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/18/2007 6:02:07 PM | I think as long as we women are giving them what they want, why would they be quick to get married. Don't they get married for the sex anyway? In my opinion, most men are looking for sex only. Sorry to you guys who I am wrong about (I'm sure there are a few) | |

I highly doubt any man will admit to not wanting to "try and sleep with you until someone else better comes along."
basically what you are saying is sex without love.
emotionally meaningless activity | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 12/20/2007 4:49:37 PM | | Yes. I'm 36, never been married, and am looking for a serious relationship that will lead to marriage by any means necessary. However, living in Vegas, it has proven difficult to meet anyone of quality, or anyone for that matter, either online or face-to-face. | |
