A guy who’s not married by 35-40; there’s a reason. Outwardly, some of theses guys seemed normal; but it is not normal for a guy not to be married by then.

Definitely not normal but not necessarily a freak. I've known men who not being in an environment where many eligible women were available, simply looked at others around them, looked at the statistics and said, odd's are if I marry, I'll also divorce. If their life is basically ok, remaining single and more, or less content is better for them than marrying and running a good chance of becoming miserable.

What if you’ve been married four times?

(Rhetorical question!)

What if you're twice married, NOT a celebrity, and won't hit 40 until December?

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

In asking around, it seems the cutoff age between it being cool and it being a red flag is roughly 35 for men and 40 for women.

Shouldn't that be the other way around? Namely: 35 for women and 40 for men? After all, biology is destiny. The author has apparently never heard the expression "shelf-life."

A man could reasonably argue that, stereotypically, going to college (and studying seriously), making a career, and accumulating the necessary wealth to support a family have delayed his entrance to the "market."

A woman who has waited until menopause has (almost) set in, however, obviously has "issues," since the delay will have significantly degraded one of her primary functions.

Regards,

If I want companionship I’ll buy a dog. They cost less than a wife and no one really cares if you take it out to the woods and shoot it, as long as you have a good reason.

Yes, very odd how the author of this piece seems to think that it's stranger for men to be unmarried at an "advanced" age than women... when, in fact, men have always married later. Fatherhood is possible even for elderly men.

Oh, yeah! Women who would NEVER use "Mrs. HisName" (because that's so oppressive) end up changing their names legally to HerName-hyphen-HisName. They're still taking HisName!

Well, that's kinda the point. Those women who choose not to take their husband's name at all don't hyphenate. FWIW, one of the happiest couple I know, both married over 40, and she didn't take his name, but kept her maiden name instead. She just found out she was pregnant as a matter of fact, which makes one feel sorry for her doctor since she and her husband are both obstetricians.

When I was a young pup, I asked My mom for cash to driving lessons. She said why should she spring for driving lessons when I couldnt afford a car.
I guess that stuck because until I can afford to keep a family, I am not getting married.

Marriage is the leading cause of divorce.
