Why are women over 40 so desperate to get married?

True - If I am NEVER going to be his wife, then he's just another boyfriend to me - nothing special. They come and they go

I understand Western culture but I never get used to have a boyfriend without the purpose of marriage. I have understood everyone who doesn't want to be in a marriage since I learned many things from the forums. Many people only want to have fun and don't want to be responsible because they are unable to be responsible. When they get old, they can still play with someone else in a nurse room...LOL!

That wasn't very nice,,,
equating being responsible with being willing to marry...
I think some of these people are doing the responsible thing by not wanting to marry,,,

Truly, you are positive! Playing around is being responsible, not bothering one only forever but enjoying everyone!

I may have lost the meaning in translation but what I was trying to relay is that some aren't good marriage material and are being responsible by not marrying and possibly hurting someone ,,,

Wake up PLEASE!, your over here saying women over 40 are so desperate to get married, and I on the other hand can't even get a date!, not that I would make your eyes bloodshot, but if this in fact were a fact, hide your bank book and insurance profile....you may be the next victim of (Women Who Kill For Money)...
Been married, and change, as all things do, changed with it. Don't think I would do it again, but, I don't have a crystal ball, everything happens for a reason! Don't for get that.....
Good luck.

Marriage........over rated I think. Alot of people would be better off with a 5 year lease with the option of renewal. "My wife". Sounds like a possession. "My partner" sounds like an equal.

I worked with a man who referred to everything as 'the' rather than 'my'..............the stove, the car, the wife.

One day, he made the comment that he had bought a washer and dryer for the wife. We asked where he bought her. He looked at us strangely. He treated her as 'the' rather than 'mine' in that she was just another something that he had acquired.

I like marriage but I understand what you mean about partner and equal, but the longer I am single, the better I like it.I am not ruling it out, just not the end to the means. I come and go as I please. I don't have to cook, clean or any number of other things if I don't want to. It is a trade off, there are things to miss about having someone with you all the time. I remember the good times of a marriage but I also remember the bad. Other side of the coin, I realize that it was the combo of he and me that made it not so good greater majority of the time.

Considering the pond content that I have had the opportunity to meet...it wouldn't be likely to happen anyway.

I am well-educated, professionally and financially successful, fit, good hearted, and never do bad things. I seek someone for marriage only. I am wondering who has an ability to marry me!!!

Little algae floating on that pond, huh?

Don't forget to check for mercury, either!

I like being married. I think those of us that want marriage think of it as security. I realize at this time in my life that it isn't but I still want it. I want to grow old with someone and make memories and share a life instead of "well when it's not fun any more move on". Yes I've heard that. Relationships take work and commitment it and neither is easy.

That is exactly what I am getting..I have to cut it off after a few dates..
they act..like they are going to die quick and have to grab whatever woman they can find..
It is scary..
It seems that no one wants to date..just for dating..
even on emails..they all ask what my intentions are for the future..
when I say thart I don't know..A lot of em get angry..

FYI. Alert, alert. Some males have been brainwashed all their life. You are not the end all, be all, of any womans life. Women actually expect you to bring to the table, an equal to what they bring, financially, culturally, even, education. Most women can perform your basic function, artificially, or with a dildo. Dont you just love "electronics" and medical science? Unless you are one of the few and far between, who actually are looking for something extra, who actually have some color in your personality, believe me, we are not desperate for marriage, or even a date with you. We do have other options.

To do list: Call the sperm bank, and replace those dang batteries.

Aw, come on,,, never? No stealing candy from a baby or pushing over little old ladies or punching a boy in the arm or robbing a bank with a Nixon mask on?

I seek someone for marriage only.

Would said husband have to go elsewhere for the bumping uglies part?

I am wondering who has an ability to marry me!!!

Ah,,, I get it,,, I guess that counts me out since I don't have my green card

I know men and women who are in a hurry to get married again, I know others who swear they'll never bother with it again.

Some assume that is my goal, since I am open that what I seek is a LTR, but I honestly don't know if I ever want to marry again. I do want a LTR; I like the feeling of being part of a loving relationship, the feeling of a partnership, and of the two of us being greater than we were separately.

When I find my LTR, marriage is something we may or may not discuss when it fits into our plans. As I see it now, the 'marriage' aspect would be more to address practical matters than to define the relationship itself.

So, I suppose this "over 40" is hardly 'desperate' to get married again.

Addicted: Women want to go slow (before sex) in order to make sure the man actually cares about them. However, men push and push and rush them into sex, then 'after they get sex' they say 'whoa', we're not exclusive. Slow down! Men are liars from the get go. You evidently led those women to believe that you cared about them and then put on the brakes when you had to 'prove it'. You're a worm. Those women had every right to be angry with you. Get a hold of yourself. You're not 17 anymore. You're irresponsible behavior is no longer cute, or mischievious or endearing. Grow up and stop lying to women.

This was without hints, discussions, or talking about this subject.


I am confused. If there was no discussion about it, how do you know marriage was the next intended step?

I have been single since 2001 and prefer it. I do desire a close relationship, but not marriage. We are not all alike.

Sometimes, humor is lost in translation,,,
It's a shame.
Farmie, I don't have the need for a green card. I also wasn't implying you have one or needed one. As long as you've seen me post, I'm believing you've only seen me "slam" on one person, true?
Please relax,,,

For some reason, a vision of a Miss Cleo with scarves wrapped around her head and incense burning came to mind,,,
