I'm forty -- five years old, and I've never been married . I feel insulted and offended that not one of the women I've known has wanted me to be her husband . Am I wrong for feeling this way ? If I shouldn't feel this way, why not ? Why is it wrong ? I don't have what it takes to be single . The single life is a big fat zero ! If Jimmy Jerk and Andy the Abuser won't let themselves be unattached, why should I ? I hate being single .

No, you shouldn't be insulted that women don't want to marry you. You should feel like you're not doing enough to show them who you truly are (or you're not finding the right friends, or your standards are too picky).
Start FINDING ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS NOW!
That means (a) getting "out there" (match.com, Y! Personals, join a gym, a book club, a political campaign, something), (b) Show that you're romantically interested in the women-- (flirt, smile, touch (in good places), invite out for dates, etc.) (c) commit to those dates.
Bottom line -- YOU have to make the choice to be attractive to the opposite sex, and YOU have to take the initiative to find someone. Now get going!

Don't think that way. Be happy with who you are first & all else will follow. I'm single & 40 & wouldn't have it any other way. Would you rather have experienced divorce once or twice by now by marrying the wrong person, have spent thousands on lawyers & possibly have hurt kids in the process. we are smarter than most, not desperate. I have high standards for myself & have similar for others, but not unreasonable. If you are truly unhappy about this, you are putting out that vibe so work on that.
Like the song says, I'm good alone but better with you. that's the mindset you need to adopt. It's karma!

Dont be insulted.Maybe there is a reason you havent married yet and that your still single.Maybe you havent found the perfect woman yet.Dont give up hope,I believe there is someone out there for everyone.Ive heard stories of people not finding there true love until they were in there 70's.Not that would happen to you.Keep a lookout.She is out there.I promise and my bet is you wont be single long.Get out there mingle and get some dates!Hope this helps!

Don't be insulted, I can relate though, being single and middle age does start to take a toll on your self esteem, but I have learned not to let it. Keep your head up and remember that you are a catch, and one day someone besides you will figure that out.

Mike
May I take this opportunity to propose marriage to you. Will you marry me?
Now at least you can say that you have been proposed to. lol Hey, I am an old woman, though. Sorry. Just wanted to make you to feel better. lol
Don't give up. Someone special still might come along. Don't know what else to say.
