I mean a guy has the advantage to ask a woman where as we as woman can't ask a guy to marry us. I am suspicious of unmarried me in my age group. Is it that they are not the marrying type or that no woman has ever wanted to marry them?

I used to avoid divorced men but that was when I was in my 20's and it isn't that odd for a man under 30 to be single but I have found that many of the men who haven't married have lived with women before (which I will never do, you gotta buy the cow) and you know the relationship ended for some reason. Just because a man hasn't been divorced doesn't mean he didn't live with a woman and abuse her or have a bad habit. Not all divorced men are bad, their are bad wives out there too.

Well, there are three reasons I would guess at.
One is that never married is if literally true, it is emotionally false. This person will have lived with a person without signing papers at a registry office or going to church.He will have had what most people call a marriage, but will not have had a wedding.
Second, this person has a really really low sex drive. He hasn't ever been interested love or sex and, given his age, will probably never start.
The third, although, I don't know if you could call it legitimate, is that he is a really big womanizer. He has had hundreds or maybe thousands of women but none of them has lasted longer than a month.
In my opinion number one is the most likely.

well i can answer this one. For me anyways, I was always let down by women mostly because i was too nice or unfortunate circumstances. I am 31 now and might not ever find the proper person to marry. Life is like that for some people, they never find their soul mate. It would be ideal to think everyone would have a chance to get married but it's not true. Money can be a key issue as well. There are many different key factors to why someone wouldn't get married by the time their 50. Would it be better to be in a marriage that wasn't planned and well thought or stay single till you know you and your spouse are ready?
Hope this helps
Matt

You know I see this on the web every once in a while and it puzzles me also. I know that men like to play the field when they are younger, because of thier urges and attractions to differen't women, and I think that after that they kind of look for perfection.
Or lets say that perfect woman latter its hard to find the combo they are looking for .
Not everyone is beautiful in thier eyes, don't all have that chemistry thier looking for and is a good loyal mate.
By the time they are older they look for the younger woman to have a family with and the younger woman wan' t men usually thier own age. So they get stuck.
I'v read somewhere that the iideal age a man looks for is someone in thier mid thirtys, even if they are 40's or 50"s . That age they are mature and also look good. Too bad because the women I see now days are looking jjust as good ,now and taking care of themselves late into thier fiftys. And are mature enough and experienced enough to not play games and be so self centered. Just a thought...

As a guy in my early 40's and dating, I can tell you I have wonderded what women thought about me never have being married. In my case, I just haven't found the right woman yet. That's all. I have been in long term relationships. I don't have a fear of commitment. I have even asked women to move in with me. I figure I will be married some day. Ask yourself this, would you rather be with a guy who has never been married but wants to be or with a guy who has 2 or 3 or 4 ex-wives? Oh, and a woman CAN ask a guy to marry her, I'd think it'd be cool.

This doesn't directly answer your question but I thought it interesting to note that actor Hugh O'Brian, TV's "Wyatt Earp",
in the '50s & '60s just got married for the first time, this past Sunday, at age 81!
I was married twice by age 27. I'm well into my fifties now but would love to get married again! Then again, I've had the same GF for eighteen years and, as the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
(I do know that the term "confirmed bachelor" is often code for gay.)

Maybe they have not found the right person yet. Would you rather that they were divorced?
Who says a woman can't ask a man to marry her?

You know, there's a saying that if he's still single at that age, there's a reason...and I believe it may be true! Maybe's he committment-phobic. Maybe he's a work-a-holic with a low libido. Maybe he's really, really ugly. Maybe he smokes a lot of dope and just doesn't care. Maybe he's gay and doesn't like girls. Maybe time just slipped away from him. And, you can ask him to marry you....this is the modern age, honey. But, get to know him first. You don't want to ask him and then find out he's still single because he prefers boys!

You should be more suspicious of a guy around that age that has been married and divorced a few times.

He could just like the freedom he has now. Maybe he never found the right woman. He could be gay. There may even be a chance some one broke his heart once and hes afraid to give his heart away again.

that's bull, of course a women can ask. but also be prepared for a negative answer. most unmarried men are Carrier minded or gay or taking care of a sick woman, (mom) women in their 50s should be enjoying life and not worrying about men to make them happy.
