| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/9/2009 6:28:45 PM | Hopefully this won't get lost, this thread is really old! :)
I'm here specifically to find that special person. Even though my first marriage did not work out (there was an amicable divorce), I loved being married. It made wherever we were living (from a crappy college apartment to eventually, a big new house) feel like home. So I was young and it wasn't the "right" person, or maybe I wasn't the "right" person at the time...
I don't see the point in "dating" if it's not somebody I can imagine marrying. If I go on a second date, it means that I see something in that person that makes me look forward to "forever".
Anyway, that's my two cents as I sit at home on a Friday night :)

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/9/2009 6:47:21 PM | | So speaking of seven years and sex, is it rue what they say that if a woman doesn't have sex in the course of seven years she is considered a virgin again? Coz if that's the case I got a whole new barganing tool if i do find mr. right (LOL) | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/12/2009 9:25:24 PM | | Yes, some of us do want that. However, the farther we get from our teens and twenties, along with adding failed relationships and marriages, the more we want to make sure that when we do take that step, it will be with the one who we will be parted from only by death. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/13/2009 10:33:45 AM | Commitment phobe?
Why can't a guy just decide the woman is not for him? And you wonder why he left? This is the same thing that scared me one time. The women talked consistently about guys her friends were dating and after I met them, I got the feeling that they talked to each other about all the guys they were dating or had dated in the past. And that included me.
Was I a commitment phobe? I was to her. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/13/2009 8:33:20 PM | OMFG you have got to be kidding right..
Except for a very short period in my life from about 19-23 where I did not want a longterm relationship.
I have done all from heaven and sometimes hell to find a woman who would be honestly compatible and wanted to build a relationship that lead to marriage. I have really given it may all.
I'm still waiting and still looking
I've had girlfriends some perhaps if i asked may have said yes but had issues that I knew would not make things work.
Or on the other end ones that were commitment phobes.
In fact most woman that I know are commitment phobes..
most have no idea how challenging to can be for someone who want to give it all is waiting see others that claim the want the same but is never heard or given opportunity.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm like that adventure safari trip to africa or any other exotic place
So many say wow I'd like to do that but they just settle for something easier and less demanding of them. like vegas | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/14/2009 4:38:54 PM | One question for you: Then why do I have so many female friends on online dating sites telling me a different story. Seems of the 8 of us... all met men that were looking for long term and yet all they wanted was "SEX".
Ok ..... I think this is soo true!! .. But I have come up with a solution of why guys put "long term" in there profiles. I think it is an attempt to tell a woman what she wants so HE can get layed. Honestly guys.. if your not looking for a long term relationship and only want "sex" then I think you should put "intimate encounter" or "activity partner." At least that way you will be honest and not be soooo pissed off that you are not getting any, especially on the first date! COME ON NOW!!! lol | |

If all 8 of you have the SAME experiences, you should start thinking that maybe their attitudes are driving the guys off. Maybe your picker is just broke and you need to spend more time talking to understand the person before you meet. | |

COME ON NOW!!! lol Ladies.... why oh why are you still scratching your heads??? Good grief. 9 out of 10 guys on these sites are creeps. Which means you have to do coffee with 9 creeps to meet a possible match. So, when you are doing coffee, and discover he is a creep, don't waste another second. Tell him you suddenly need to take a crap, but because you are a hypochondriac transvestite you have to go home to do it. Then go home. The faster you do 9 'crappy' dates, the faster you get to meet a possible match. Welcome to internet dating. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/16/2009 3:43:10 AM | | I am 41 and have never been married all the girls I have had relationships with have had gotten the 7 year itch. I had asked my last long term partner to get married but she was not committed to the relationship and was messing around. I do not have the committment issues I just seem to attract the "wrong" ladies. I would love to find that perfect lady and get married. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/16/2009 11:06:50 AM | I hear you, but the same applies to men as we are called jerks or the A word. Being your own person without following the flow or the status quo will get that type of respond from many. I think it is a compliment, and your own person and by no means a b*****. I look at the work B**** the same as J*** or A******. It has nothing to do with being outspoken. People misuse these words a lot when they disagree in what they cannot undeerstand or is against their beliefs.
Passion can be misinterpreted as threatening when people are not used to outspoken people. On the other hand tact is respectful as you can say the same things without being too offensive. How you say things in whatever you mean can make a lot of difference. And am not saying you are not being respectful or tactful. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/16/2009 12:10:39 PM | | I cant speak for any other men here but I just joined this site and the reason I am trying it is because I work too dayam m uch. I am looking to get married. I was married for 18 years and she quit. I planned on forever but....... so 1 more time and I hope it lasts forever (more than seven). I dont date alot of people because its dangerous but am picky with who I say hello to. You can usually tell in the first 5 emails if its worth meeting in person. I am 42 and anyone around my age knows what they want and what they are looking for. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/16/2009 4:27:04 PM | | I’m nearly 35 and have been divorced for more than five years. If asked, I would say the failed marriage was my fault. Me and the ex get along great and have not had an argument in over five years. I’m by far perfect but I do learn from my mistakes. My goal is to get married and maybe have more kids. Time is slowly running out on the whole kid thing. But I will not rush into getting married either. I wont to find a good match for me. Maybe I will find that here, maybe I wont. But in the end that in still my goal. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/16/2009 5:58:22 PM | Why does one want to get married.. leave alone the question of gender. I think its because one beleives that the relationship is special and is what both people need.
Sex is overrated or in many cases misrepresented. Hopping in bed takes away inhibitions. Both people get to know each other better. So some wanna do it or some dont till there is some sort of commitment. It is common to find that people lose interest in relationships after hopping into bed a few times.
Our first instinct is to have sex with a person you feel attracted to. Its in our genes. Then what??? is there anything in the relationship to justify being together and to keep wanting for more.....
Personally i beleive its better not be in a relationship where both partners dont feel the need to nourish the relationship.
Physical attraction is the first step. Once beyond that i want to feel the need to continue in that relationship. If I am lucky so will my partner.
I guess i seriously want to get married not just for marriage but to be in the sort of relationship that requires it. In the end we all look for love..
Bonne chance and a happy new year to all...

MEN .... I'm just curious! Are any of you on here SERIOUSLY looking for a long term relationship with hopes of it leading to marriage? Uh huh.
Granted, I'm not *quite* 35 yet (turned 34 last week), but I am definitely looking for a long-term relationship and, eventually, marriage.
Now, that being said, I'm not going to merely settle for just anyone, and I wouldn't expect anyone else, man or woman, to settle. I may not be getting any younger, but I would rather live the rest of my life alone than to marry someone who is less than the perfect match for me.
Am I going to be searching forever as a result? Maybe. Who knows? But I'm going to keep searching until I find it and keep hoping I have all my original teeth when I do. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/17/2009 10:17:50 PM | Keep brushing and flossing.
I've been separated for almost 12 years now, and this question just kind of popped out at me. I've had these conversations before. Personally the answer is NO. I don't want to get married again. I would love to find a soulmate, someone who just gets me on a level way higher than favorite colour or movie choice. I don't expect to find her, but I have heard rumour of such discoveries being made. Hope springs eternal. Anyway, I'm not depressed or sad, but instead just the opposite. I love my life I find myself living at this point in time. I have loved being there for my children. I just love how far I have come as a man since being on my own. I have made it from social retard to happy hermit and am damned proud of myself. Another forum question also caught my attention. Are you too picky? The answer is of course YES. I guess just anyone won't do to hang onto my arm. Good luck in your search for marriage. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/21/2009 2:58:30 AM | I guess way down the line most guys will consider it but I have to admit it is not a priority.
If something is working and you are happy then of course you would be mad not to but it shouldn't be rushed into.
I think that as us guys get older we may in fact get wiser, yes ladies, it is true ha ha.
We want to make sure it is 100% definately working before we even consider it. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/22/2009 4:16:29 PM | | I was married for 10 years been devorced for two and a half. I dont like being alone, I hope to find my soulmate, and get married again. Life is so much better when you have someone to share it with. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/22/2009 9:30:44 PM | | I just recently got divorced and eventually probably want to get married again. Having said that, I am not looking to jump back into anything immediately. I think it's best to have a longer courtship. I think the institution of marriage can work but in my case, I didn't know my wife well enough before I married her. My guess is this is a common mistake. Nevertheless, there is no formula to marriage, and everyone has a unique story. I am convinced, however, with the right person marriage can be a wonderful experience. | |

| Any men over 35 seriously looking to get married? Posted: 1/24/2009 1:41:45 PM | | I've been divorced for for 9 months now. At first I admitt I enjoyed my freedom. However there are alot of great things about being married that I miss. I miss rushing home every night. I miss fun weekends, short trips, just being together. It may not sound like I've been divorced very long but, I know what I like and want. I really don't want to be a regular on the dating circut. Hopefully the good lord will help me meet the next best thing! | |
