| For the Men Over 30 Posted: 9/7/2007 7:39:29 PM | | Let's use me for an example. I was 24 and thought I found that special one. She already had kids and couldn't have anymore. We just broke it off after 10yrs so here I am 34 never married and no kids. Am I picky not really maybe a little bitter ya. I just wanted to give my 2cents worth. | |

| For the Men Over 30 Posted: 9/7/2007 10:28:07 PM | | Well i'm 36 never married and no kids.The reason for me is that i never wanted to have kids if i wasn't married.Call me old fashioned but my mom raised me well.If your going to get married for the rest of your life you have to be alittle picky cause of all the breakups that are happening over the years.If i'm going to do it(marrage and kids) i want to make sure this is the woman that is my best friend and want to spend my life with yhis person.God made one person for you now all you have to do is fine her. | |

| For the Men Over 30 Posted: 9/10/2007 11:06:59 PM | Ok. I'm 36. Obviously single. No kids- Never married. I've been asked The Big Question 4 times, but declined. Not the right girl. Almost asked said question, but a 6 month hospital stay & massive life left turn caused the person I would have asked to disappear.
I *AM* interested in getting into a relationship. But yes, I'm picky. I want to get married & do the happily ever after thing, just like everyone else but I only intend to do that *Once*. I refuse to settle as I've seen it way too many times- Get into something, get married (or not before the kids arrive) have a couple kids & then "grow apart". Now someone else who has managed to avoid all that gets to pick up the pieces.
I've lived long-term with 4 women, longest of which was 4 years, shortest was a year and a half. Obviously none of those worked out. Since they didn't, thankfully we didn't get married nor did we have kids.
Why don't I have kids? Because I payed attention in Bio class. I kn ow how they happen thus know how to have all the fun without leaving evidence that much fun was had. I want some, but want to wait until I'm financially able to support them as children should be. (that point financial point would have happened 3 years ago except for that left turn I mentioned)
I've met "The One" 5 times in my life now. Unfortunately... I was not the same One for them. Another will come along.. Someday.
I have a plan for life. Heck I *had* a plan for life before the accident. And that is why I'm 36, not married & without children. | |
