Female, unmarried, 31- is marriage out for me?

Question

They say that once a woman of a another ethnicity other than white reaches 30, they are pretty much not going to get married. Who made up this statistic and how many of you think it's a probability?

AND who can care less? I bet alot of you, but I really am curious!

Answer 1

I think this is complete BS. People get married a lot later in life these days than previous generations. Those stats are based on old generalizations on generations past.

Answer 2

Today fourty is the new twenty! Atleast that's whats being said all over the tabloids. I met the Love of my life at age thirty. We have been happily married for eighteen years now. I am sure that there are men out there asking themselves this same question. If it's meant to be then you will find someone to share your life with. Thirty one is just a number, don't let the number determine how you feel about yourself! Put yourself in places where your more likely to meet someone, like church or go volunteer with some organization. Don't think because some jerk laid out a rediculous statistic that it's true. Embrace who you are and don't sell yourself short because your of a different ethnicity. God Loves all of us, to him we are all the same. I am a white female, but I have an Asian daughter in law who is beautiful and smart and we Love her very much. I always told my children that if they brought home a green person and that person Loved them, My husband and I could care less.

Answer 3

What the hell? I have never heard that. Who ever told you that is an idiot. Not everyone gets married in their 20s. Women get married in their 30s,40s,50s, even in their 60s...there is not set age when someone can get married. I just turned 28 and I've never been married and not in hurry to get married either. Marriage takes a lot of work, compromise...all the stuff that I don't want to do just yet.

Answer 4

No, I don't think that at all, because I know 30 is just another beautiful number for marriages. The older, the more wiser. If you want to meet a husband. Waste your time with respect, responsible and honest men's. If you are around a man who don't want marriages than that's what you get, not marriages. When you want a job, You go for employment, when you want ice cream, you go to the ice cream polar, and when you want to be marriages, than you need to shop at Home depot, the construction site, or in a church, Hopefully he dose two out of three. But remember, what you meet is what you get.

Answer 5

My uncle married a woman who, at 60, had never been married before. Statistics have nothing to do with anything. If you want to get married, you probably will.

Answer 6

I honestly don't care if your 30, 40 or twenty unmarried. I have heard of that and there are alot of pressures if you come from other ethinicities and i do believe it's true.
All you can do is take life as it comes, happiness comes from within and not from being married.

Answer 7

The statisitc thats really important is that most marriages end in divorce! So what if you are taking your time to find the right guy?? At least your marriage will have a better chance at actually lasting!

Answer 8

No age limit on love or marriage. I just met a beautiful girl who is 37, and yes, I would marry her in a heart beat.

Answer 9

I know many people, from all races, that didn’t marry until they were in their 30's, and merely in my opinion, those later marriages are the ones that have the highest chance of being successful.

Answer 10

Who cares about the statistics. When it is supposed to happen you'll know and it will. Hold out for what you want and need and never settle for less. Then it will last.
