Anyone out there over 40, never been married, and happy with their choice?

I have. I am happy with the decision so far.

40, never been married, never really dated. Play WOW most the day. Doesn't sound too great, but most of the my friends have gotten divorced or their kids are driving them crazy, and they'd give their left arm to go play Frisbee Golf with me during the week.

Absolutely. Although I have dated my significant other for some time, and love my SO very much. We enjoy the typical things couples do, such as talking with each other, watching television, and discussing the events of the day. I feel so blessed to know that I am valued by my SO; just last night my SO said "Elena, I love you."

Wtf?

Lately I've been contemplating whether or not it's really something I ever want to do. Without getting too much into my own concerns in this initial posts, has anyone out there consciously decided to avoid marriage (or say relationships lasting longer than 3-4 years), and been happy with their decision?

No need to marry. Live with them. Be good in bed, really good, and they'll deal with the no ring thing.

I'm 53, never been married. Played the field, lived with several, loved a few, dated ever race, creed and color.

You can be happy this way. Focus on your career, make tons of money, travel.

If you meet a woman who is beautiful, independently wealthy, bisexual and emotionally sane...then you can get married. --But since sanity does not come in the feminine model, that will never happen. Not marrying them, btw, makes them work harder.

I am with "Get Real Real" I am 41, never married and not regretting anything. Maybe I will meet a woman I absolutely have to marry, maybe not.

But then most 41 yr olds who never marry love a cock meat sandwich occasionally and it is tough to find a girl who will accept that.

Be honest you are making out like its always been in your control. You have probably met hundreds of hot woman who would not even go on a date with you, so you have no idea if you would have married them given the chance.

Anyone who doesn't date a lot, or even some obviously doesn't know how to meet women. Or they are unattractive and believe that no women would want to date them. This is false. I've seen short asian guys with tall blonde bombshells. Why? because a women doesn't just judge a man based off of how they look. The thing is most unattractive guys aren't good conversationalist or confident. And if they are around your typical stranger, they definetly aren't around beautiful women.

Good Luck.

WTF?

Take it for what it's worth; a guy who is over forty and never married is almost certainly gay. A true fact but so what.

Ok,Ok,we all agree with you. You're command of the language and phobia ,indicates your hand of preference and a bottle of baby oil is the way for you.

ACTUALLY, most the men looking for a 'MEAT SANDWICH' are MARRIED MEN. Go on Craiglist, ad after ad in the MFM section, 'WIFE IS OUT OF TOWN, WANT TO TRY MY FIRST BJ' 'First Timer, Wife won't please me..'. etc. etc. etc. etc.

So....is it good?

"40, never been married, never really dated. Play WOW most the day"

-am i the only one who sees how totally dysfunctional and messed up this is?

i just sincerely hope that they're kidding. you're missing out on a ton- companionship, the joy of children, etc. yeah, it can be tough, but what have you ever done worthwhile that wasn't? join a dating service website today. or for goodness sake, just go out!

Dude, why rely on the experiences of others? You have people here who LOVE being married and love being parents (I would fall in that camp). You have others here who think marriage is silly and kids are constantly a pain in the ass (valid opinions as we're all different). You have still others who thought they wanted one or the other and then when it was too late found out they didn't want what they signed up for.

If you just want someone to say "Yeah man! That's me! I've 45 and single with no kids and I love it!" Then you can get that answer, for there are people like that. Main thing though is that YOU decide what YOU want.
