The reason I ask is it seems people always question me, you're not married? But I feel if I say "I'm divorced" I would be viewed in a more positive light.

Good question! I've never thought about that one before now...lol
If a guy I met said he was never married at thirty-five...i would wonder why and see it as a red flag however with deeper thought I may also think that he is just waiting for the right one.
A divorced 35 year old man....well, i've already been there and am still single so I would have to say that if you said you were never married you would have a better chance. Hope this helps.
Oh, and lying is never a good thing...just a thought.

Sadly, I think you will receive a more favorable response about the former (never married people will tell you it's because it proves that SOMEONE wants you), but really, no matter how bad you think it is to still be single at 35, it's much more stressful to go through a divorce! And if you're divorced, you're really not proving that someone wants you!

Tell the truth. And anyway it is better that you are still waiting for the right person rather than admit that you had a failed relationship. Plus over 35 aint that old these days for marriage. Often married people tend to feel superior (so do people with kids by the way) but really, who cares what they think?

No, I would rather never been married at 35..You have had time to get your life where you want it..Get your head where you want it independently..Being independent is very important and it is hard for people to do that when they have another person to deal with and use as a crutch.. So do not be ashamed of your life be damn proud of who you are and what you have been through..Obviously, not being married is something that you were suppose to go through if you wouldn't have you would not be the person you are today..

well i always figured that if you havent married by a certain age then you are either not interested in a relationship to lead there or have been way too picky about the people you dated, probably too picky
if i had to choose between two girls and one was divorced and the other never married i think i would choose the one that was divorced because i would fear that i would never meet the standards of the never married one

That's a tough question and one that one of my buddies is experiencing. In his case, it's the divorce side of the equation and he thinks it is a problem in terms of dating. On the other hand, never married should raise a red flag of it's own. The best would probably be a widower at 35.

Not true. It's better to be never married at 35 because chances are you'll meet someone else who's never been married at 35. I think you have a better chance.

Well for me divorced at 35 would be the choice.

The sad thing is my friend that divorce has become so common that it is socially acceptable. Everyone expects you to go and get hitched but everyone thinks that it's going to break anyway. It really is a sad and cruel world if you think about it in that light.

Yeah for some odd reason in today's world, it seems a 35 year old divorcee is deemed more 'normal' than a 35 yer old "never married".
go figure
