You are wrong ha! Just wanted to point out--it's not a given that a woman in her 30s automatically has kids. I don't have kids and I'm 35. | |

Posted: 8/5/2007 11:19:09 PM | Not only am I 30 and have never been married - I also do not have any children  I seem to be in a very small category. I also have many friends that are younger than I am because all the ones my age are married or in serious relationships - I hate being the third wheel on the motorcycle of life.
I am a "real" woman (or "organic" as described by a man who was into life-like dolls - I stumbled upon a show while channel-surfing...TMI, perhaps?) who is looking for a "real" man who is not into playing games. I guess that's a bit harder to find than I thought it would be. Ah, well, ces't la vie. | |

Posted: 8/6/2007 7:47:50 PM | I’m 32 (although I don’t look it) and I’m not married.
I think that’s me being smart because if I had married during my twenties it would surely have ended in divorce. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 12:06:59 AM | | I was engaged to one woman for four years and am so glad I did not tie the knot cus when things got out of hand and the relationship hit an extremely difficult faze, I asked her ' If we had been married would this be divorce ' to which she replied 'Yes'. I never had the need to look elsewhere, did not pay attention to other women when out that noticed me (she would always notice), I never really expected to be single ever again and when it did go down the pan, figuratively speaking, it was one hell of a drop! I always said to myself that even if I decided to get engaged then it would be to someone I really had no doubt about. She is now married by the way. HEY no regrets though! | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 7:49:14 AM | The funniest thing I have ever heard a young lady tell me is that if a guy hasn't been married once by the time he's 30 that he's not your guy. I find this absurd as yes I have not been married before I was 30 but I too was a very shy guy when I was growing up, girlfriends what where those?
Girls scared me because I didn't know how to adjust around them which I am still learning to do in some cases even though I have been with 3 so far in my life, the longest lasting 3 years.
So I think it's silly, maybe the guys who are playing these women for everything are the ones to blame for setting the bad example. :(

People who have been married before 30 can have more baggage. ..there's something to consider. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 2:54:14 PM | | I'm over 30 y/o and have never been married or engaged either. But, hearing some horror stories in both relationships/marriage where people can change from Dr. jekel to Mr. Hyde after the Honeymoon and the realities of marriage face you, I guess it's not something to feel bad about. | |

If a woman is 30+ she just comes with kids and finding one without them is very hard. I have nothing against kids, I just don't want any. I have two niece's that I love very much, BUT they are my sisters kids and not mine. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 4:33:21 PM | I'm 34, never married, no kids, never engaged. There's nothing wrong with it, and I certainly don't picture myself single for the rest of my life. Kids, well i'm at a point where I can go either way with having them or not now.
I'm not going to just settle just for the sake of being with someone, nothing wrong with being a little picky, but I don't want to be in my 60's finally meeting someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'd like to enjoy my sexual peak with that certain someone before we get too old and pruney, so hurry up and find me already lol!  | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 5:13:22 PM | Goin on 30 next month, no kids (that I know of at least, lol) and almost all of my friends are married or in serious relationships. Get alot of joking crap from them that their gonna have like 5 kids before I have one. Always envisioned myself done with the dating thing and married by now, so much for that plan  | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 6:51:20 PM | | I don't see any reason to get married. I certainly don't want children at my age. You don't have to get married to have someone in your life. | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 5:37:09 PM | | I've never been married either. I spent my 20s in college and university, then working more hours than I've imagined as a teacher. However, the topic did come up with my last two exes. We were pretty serious, but the relationships ended. I guess it's a good thing we never went to that next level. It hurts so much to break up; I can't imagine the pain of a divorce. | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 11:13:12 PM | Oh no! I just turned 30 last Friday. I'm childless and never married. I've now crossed into the realm of "There must be something wrong with him."    | |

Posted: 8/9/2007 9:51:02 AM | | I have never been married. I've been close a couple of times but am quite happy that we never went through with it or I would have been divorced now. I decided to stay single for a long time after my last relationship in order to really find out who I was. I don't feel anyone else can be responsible for another's happiness. That comes from within. If you are not happy with who you are then you can not be truly happy with someone else. I decided instead to focus on my child and my career . The last few years have been great for me. I now know who I am and what I want in life. I have complete faith that now when I meet someone I will be ready for something real. I believe if you marry too young you don't necessarily have the maturity to compromise and give enough of yourself to make a marriage work. There are exceptions to this of course. I have a couple cousins who were married almost right out of high school that I know will be still holding hands at 90. | |

Posted: 8/9/2007 6:23:42 PM | Never been married, and if it never happens I won't fret over it. It isn't worth "settling" or compromising one's principles solely to be with someone. Considering the divorce rate as well as the number of spouses who cheat on each other, it's amazing the marriage rate hasn't dropped more than it already has. But when you've got the Britney Spears' of the world abusing the institution, it cheapens what is supposed to be a lifelong commitment.
Maybe nobody should be allowed to get married till they're 25. :) | |

Posted: 8/9/2007 8:35:37 PM | | At the risk of being repetitive, I am 36 and never married/no kids (37 in two days). My problem/question is this, when anyone with 'our' history meets someone, do you feel the need to justify being single? I often feel like I need to justify my 'singleness' when I meet a girl who is freshly divorced or has a more torrid and frequent dating history. (My history is neither torrid nor frequent). | |

Posted: 8/9/2007 8:46:45 PM | [I think its because a lot of people have realised that its an outdated institution and a ceremony that celebrates one day,]
I disagree that it has to be that way. I think you are confusing marriage with the ceremony, although granted some people are just in it for the dress and the big cake. It represents a decision to take a relationship seriously enough that this person will publicly and in front of others say that he intends to be with me and me only. While people and circumstances may change and people may split up, it doesn't detract from the seriousness of the commitment you should be making when you marry someone. A symbol it may be, but symbols can be powerful things, and I don't think you should underestimate the importance of a symbolic gesture. | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 2:22:39 PM | Never married. Had too many things going on after high school.
Am I ready now? Not sure.
Would I like to be married? Depends on the woman, obviously.
Is their a perfect match for everyone? No. But their are folks who are more compatible than others.
The question is: Are you willing to commit yourself to a person, thru the hard times as well as the good times? If your not, then DO NOT get married. | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 11:30:50 PM | I came out of a bad relationship 5 years ago....never got over the hardship of it. Now I hate to say it although I know I should be over it BUT I find it hard to trust women now, I dont know why could be maybe I dont trust myself or is it them. I tell myself whats the point of loving a women so deeply and then marrieng her then she divorces me takes half of every thing Ive worked hard for in my life, and then robbs me of my children and then finds herself with another man.
Yea I know "IM NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK THAT WAY, ITS A GAMBLE. no no no thats worse then losing a gamble thats suffering to some and death to others. Ive been single for 5 years not once been in a relationship and no one night stands (just in case I get emotionaly attached) I was born by myself in this world and Im going to try leaving it in the same way to. No matter the Movies, TV, Famly, Books, friends, work ............Im not crazy about people telling me how I should live my life, and hey PLUS I love hanging out with myself and doing cool shit all the time. | |
