I doubt "most woman" have met a 44 year old. There are over a billion women on this planet.

People (both men and women) "red flag" for all types of reasons. Making snap judgments on any one particular trait or quality is a sign of immaturity and shallowness. You're better off without those women. Be patient, you'll find someone who is not as quick to turn and run. But also, why are you 44 and never married? Just curious.

How would they know you never married? What kind of women are they? I suggest you act like being 44 is NOT a problem BUT a PLUS because of your wisdom, wealth, experiences, and knowledge. C'mon man! Seriously put yourself together! I'm only 22 and I already own a house and a couple cars! I've ONLY had a couple girlfriends but that doesn't stop me! Life is TOO short to mope around! Have fun! Be with multiple women! I mean dating wise! Don't just focus on one, spread your talents to many at once! It's like finding a job...you don't just fill out one application, go to the interview and not get hired and then fill out an application to another company. No! You fill out many applications!

This is an example of prejudice. In this case, I believe it exists partially as a labor-saving device. Most 40 year old men who desire to have relationships with woman have tried many times in their 20+ years of eligible bachelorhood. However, none of those relationships ended in marriage. So the odds of any given relationship with that man ending in marriage are probably low. Thus if I want to be married, my odds of getting married are better if I try somewhere else -- so I will avoid a relationship with that man.
Now the case of an individual man may be different. But I would have to strike up a relationship with him to really find out. So, I decide to invest my energy where the probability of it producing fruit is higher. Thus, I red-flag him and move on.

To women, a 44 year old man that has never been married makes it seem like your a very picky person. Like you are looking for that specific person. You might be a person that is controlling and knows what he wants and that scares women off. I know that I'm not looking for someone that is picky. I want someone that is relaxed, laid back and spontaneous.
Wish you good luck!

Id have to disagree that they do. I am also 44 years old and never married. I am employed, normal looking, no major faults, I don't have commitment issues. Many reasons contribute to my being single.... shift work in a female dominated industry, being shy, not having any single friends to hang out with etc etc , now I'm just stuck in a rut. I would assume there may be similar reasons for your singledom, and none of them an indication of any abnormality.... I do wish you luck finding a lady friend.

Men are direct and women are indirect , men will just ask what they want to know women just assume things , I was married for 11 years and we never had kids and women assume that I hate kids or never had sex , another thing women assume is if you are single and hang out in a bar that you are a pig looking for a one nighter or your a drunk not realizing your just there to make friends and not sitting home on the couch alone..It's a NO WIN situation..

Well you seem like a nice and honest person. 44 Years is very young, live your life with all the lust and passion in you. Find someone who likes you for you( I know that sounds like the cheesiest thing) lol but be greatful, honest, adorable, and BE YOU!! If women dont see that your amazing then dont look twice at them!

why does it matter if you ever married or not.its a choice.if you like the single life and don't want that partner around 24/7 then theres nothing wrong with that.if your in a relationship and your bf/gf likes things as they are then i see nothing at all wrong with it.you will marry someday and if you don't then it wont make you a bad man,just a cautious one.

Because they automatically assume that-- you're married, and lying---- or you live at home with your mother...
Or-- you're trying to date hot 20 somethings--you can only do that if you have lots of cash.....
On the first one you may just need to change laundry detergents. Women have a better sense of smell than men.
If you are using "Mountain Fresh" or "Peony Spring" laundry detergent they assume wife or mom.
Wives mark their territory that way....
