| Why are women over 40 so desperate to get married?
Posted: 7/19/2009 11:47:35 AM | You sure they were over forty?
Most women I know dont want to go down that route again, they just want a good friend, a lover a pal to share life with, both with their own lives and both wanting to go home every so often.
Maybe it is in your profile you are looking for something long term and they are reading it there? Just an idea but does seem odd they all want to marry you after one meeting  | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 11:51:40 AM | | I might be open to marriage more than most women my age since I have not been married. However, if I was desperate to get married I could have gotten married, and at this point in my life don't seek anything with desperation. (except chocolate, caffeine, and a few other things) | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 11:16:49 PM | I'd agree. Me thinks the OP is wrong and lots of ladies 40+ aint in no rush. Good Lord man...I'm a gonna have to give one of em an ultimatim....marry me or....or...or..
wait one I have to think...marry me or I wont give you a back rub? Nah...uhm...er....?
Marry me or you won't know the sweet sugar lips I got...ouch that sounds too...sugary
dem diabetics might run. 
Marry me or I won't have a pillow fight (let you win of course...) then throw you down on the bed and bite your neck (full moon habit...)  No...that won't work...golly gee whiz. Uhm...there's gotta be a way...I know...meet someone, date them and don't ask? Treat em as great as could be...and get them to want to marry you first!
Yeah that's the ticket. But wait, what about if I'm afraid to marry them?  Ok breathe in slow and deep... Well if I choose the right one and the right one chooses me
(no not the the Matrix "the One") then maybe we can take it real slow and enjoy our courtship...  
Course we will have a hugging great time at the holidays!  
Then maybe even live together... And when we want to ruin things, then get married      
Ok I'm joking...I'm a romantic (sh! don't tell anyone) at heart. | |

Posted: 7/21/2009 6:07:29 AM | | I've found over the years, women that don't have financial stability or security are a lot more WANTING to get married as where women that are finacially stable or secure DO NOT wanna get married. I'm not saying that this is the case everytime but this seems to be the pattern. | |

Posted: 7/22/2009 6:54:10 AM | | For me I think that wanting to be married to someone I love is just a part of my moral fiber. I think growing with God as a focus in my life and the attitude and morals of my parents make me feel that intamcy should be associated with commitment and marriage. I was married for 27 years and although I don't want to be married again anytime soon, I know if I meet the right person, it will come into play for me, not only for the moral reasons, but financially it is better (IRS, insurance). I am fine finanacially, so that is not the issue at all. I know that I am probably old fashioned in my ideas and views (although I am no saint), but that is just what feels right for me. | |

Posted: 7/24/2009 10:34:26 PM | | My opinion...either woman or man.. If someone is hearing wedding bells... it takes two to make them "ding dong"... Sir, maybe you are more charming than you realize? And again.. both sexes don't like to hear about "time-outs"...if they aren't expecting it. We are all only human... Don't read to heavily into the book... :) | |

Posted: 7/25/2009 6:52:07 AM | When did I say I wanted to get married, much less that I am desparate to do so? I am not saying never, but it would take a pretty darn fabuloso hunk to convince me to walk down the aisle.
I told someone the other day that I had been to 4 weddings in 4 weeks and that I would attend 4 in one day as long as it was not mine.
There could be someone for whom I am willing to put on the ring but right now I come and go as I please, cook or don't cook when I please, spend what I want on what I want. Change the decor, move the furniture and no one says a darn thing. I don't have to consult or ask anyone before I do anything. Someone told me I was selfish----only if there was someone else in the house that I was not considering---the dogs don't care.
I know how to give and take in a relationship and every man I have ever dated or was married to, has said I was one of the most generous giving people they had ever met--that I was too good for my own good. So I am willing to do that if the right man came along. Problem for me has been, the men I have run into take advantage when being spoiled and don't know how to return it. Treat one like you don't care and he won't give up but what kind of a relationship is that?
Never say never.....................just not desparate... | |

Posted: 7/25/2009 9:06:11 PM | | You must be what they thought was a "keeper" and they wanted to marry you! There are plenty of women who reject men and don't want to marry them. It's a great compliment to you, so you're just going to have to tone down your attractiveness meter. ha ha. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 3:30:53 AM | Im in no rush either if you have already had one relationship turn sour, why be in a rush.
Id prefer to go slow and be as sure as I could it was working for both of us.
perhaps some people are afraid of being left on the shelf as it were as they get older. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 10:00:06 AM | Hi everyone. I am new, So I haven't really gotten to know you all yet. Probably never will. LOL However; I have belonged to a forum before and generally there are your regulars who post and reply.
I just couldn't help but read this thread on desperate housewives. LOL
Truly most women I know over 40 don't want marriage at all. They want a divorce.
I agree with most all the ladies here. Truly after years of combat with a mate that went bad, the misery, the frustration, the stress of it all, the last thing we want is to be restrained again. OH and please forgive me, there are those who favor that. It is called insecurity, co-dependency and clinicly disturbed. Not to mention a few other fobias.
Is there a spell check on here? LOL
I know I have had my fill of marriage, I have been hurt, heartbroken, put back together, fragile and alone. I am ok alone, but who doesn't want to feel loved, spoiled, adored, and romanced? Passion is one of women over 40's best traits. I am sure the ladies will all agree. Of course it takes a man who is into more then just getting his rocks off.
Hint: Women are of heart, spirit, emotion. Men (not all) are from Mars. Ok some women are from the depths of Mars. LOL
Have a nice day.

Posted: 7/26/2009 7:02:43 PM | Dude, I think its the women your choosing. I've been down that road before and believe me Im in no hurry to make that mistake again. I doubt I'll ever get married again but the dating part is fun.
You need to screen your ladies better before dating them, and most women I know are not the needy or marriage minded types. Good luck. | |
