I'm 33 years old, in the best shape of my life, I'm told very handsome. I look 25. I own a nice house, nice car, truck, have a great job...etc. Should I be concearned that I am still single or should I embrace it? I date a lot but just have not found the "one". I am picky but I should be. I just feel like there is a "pressure" from society to be married with kids by now?

You HAVE to be selective! You shouldn't feel pressure from society at all. So many people follow the rules by settling down, getting married, having kids and then getting divorced in a couple/few years.
Isn't the 30s the new 20s anyway? That means you're really 23, so you've got plenty of time! ;-p
I am very picky myself, and have been single for a few years. I am tired of it, but I rather be alone then be in a relationship that is not even worth it. Stick to your guns. You'll know when you "the one".

No problem in you being picky. The most recent polls show that more than 62 percent of females do not want to get married anyway. You have a lot of nice "things" so the evidence is there that you treat yourself well first. While that may not keep you warm at night so to speak at least you know what is yours and you don't need to share with anyone else. I suspect you reasons for not hooking up with anyone permanently are because you have a really wide selfish streak and are unable to share. The good news is that these days society is not pressuring anyone to get married and females will not put up with a bunch of immature males who only think of themselves. You don't need to have kids for sure because the earth is way over populated anyway. Be as picky as you want and don't forget that you will depreciate as well as all your toys as the years go by and your worth on the marketplace will decline. Answer is EMBRACE IT, you may be the only one who wants you anyway..

ok I am only 18 but I think you should take your time. There is no need to rush into marriage, because that could result in a divorce which is 10 times worst than being single. I have a teacher and he is 39 and still never been married, I don't know what his life outside of work and coaching is like, but man does he have some money. Good Luck and do what you feel is best.

Do not give in to the pressure if you do you might end up married with two kids and looking forward to getting a divorce. So enjoy life until the right lady comes along. The fact is not every one will get married but some do and most of them now wish they were in your shoe

Hey
I'm 33 too, but...
I still live at home with my mom
I work two low-paying jobs
I have never had a girlfriend and I am still a virgin
I have a big nose, a skinny face, balding, and a long neck.
I have no friends.
How can I be like you?
Sorry, I got no advice, except don;'t worry about not being married. I don't believe that you can be in love with one person for the rest of your life, so there is no such thing as "the one"

I honestly dont think age is a reason to get married. You get married when you are in love with someone, not when you turn 25. You are right about being picky when it comes to sentiment, the way someone feels about you. Dont be too picky about looks because sooner or later we all get older and gravity takes its toll on us all. Good luck finding the right girl and Congratulations on a very successsful life so far.

You shouldn't feel the pressure. There's plenty of time for you to see what's out there, and with all the people jumping into marriage, having a baby or 2 then getting divorced. Why rush it and destroy 2 or more people. Take your time life might be short but it only goes by fast if you let it

No - I'm 25 and in the same boat. Hugely succesful but single.
Watch that show, 'The Real Desperate Housewives of Orange County' and you'll change your mind about being single.
I love my life, and I have plenty of great female friends who I'm sure I could easily fall in love with and have wonderful children and everything. But not yet - I feel like I've done all of this myself, if a woman is confident and secure enough, she can chase me around. It's 2007, you ask me out, I'm busy eneough.

Why should you "settle" just because society says you should be married with kids by now? Women feel this pressure constantly. There is a saying.....you will find it when you stop looking! Good luck.

Take it from a married women, ENJOY ,ENJOY, ENJOY cause once your married That's it! You have every right to be picky and when the right girl comes around you will feel it. I believe men shouldn't get married until there late 30 early 40's go ahead and soar your oats!
