In 2 weeks I turn 46.

1. I have a good guy friend who just got married for the first time at 45
He married a lovely woman who had been married once before. She has one daughter in college.

They are VERY happy. They only met a year ago and they knew they were meant for each other.

2. You have defeated the white knight
I turn 44 in four months, barring serious misfortune.
I have not only not been married, nor had a roommate, live-in SO. I have never engaged in pre-marital, um, relations.
Not exactly a "record" I am proud of.

21. hmmmm
I sorta figured if I can "Forrest Gump" my way into some action that pretty much everybody can. :)

Hey, too each his own. I've been celibate for over 5 years now. It doesn't bother me any. I'm never had anything serious before, and really I'm not even looking. I just sort of do my own thing. Bit of an eccentric and private person. :)

18. hey as long as you're comfortable with it
I was 19 when I first had sex. It didn't bother me any. I was always more interested in sports than women, lol. Now, I'm kind of the same way with my career and stuff too. We're all different stripes, some people just aren't into that sort of thing and others are. Just do what is best for you, you know?

17. if you would stop watching so much pro wrestling..
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 05:51 AM by Wetzelbill
:)

No that doesn't make you pathetic. I've never had a serious relationship either. Just isn't my thing. I'm a pretty private person etc. I haven't gotten any in years either, I had a bad one night stand years ago and have been celibate since. It's better to be true to yourself and just go about love and life at your own pace. I have friends who have slept with literally over a 100 women. None of them know love. Not really. They have no sense of it. They all end up in serious relationships or married to some chick they knocked up. With women I wouldn't even touch, in all honesty.

Just keep doing your thing and being you. A man isn't really a man if he's always trying to exploit women and screw everything in sight. The only thing I would say to you in that department is just don't ever convince yourself that you aren't good enough for what you want. If you like someone, gather your inner strength and just go for her. I'm plenty guilty of not following my own advice. But when I do it usually works out well. The sex part of it will take care of itself. Find somebody you like and care for first. The rest will come later.

12. Three Serious Proposals, Two Sterilizations, Single By Choice, F, Age 40
My Loved One of the last 13 years has lately been making some serious "I wanna marry you" noises, but so far, I'm standing my ground. I've never wanted to be married; I have serious problems with many of the concepts it embodies (ownership, state approval of sexual relations, etc) but if I lost my health insurance, I'd probably end up in a marriage of life-saving convenience to someone I love very, very much. Who wants to marry me anyway.

For a long time he didn't want to be married to anyone, either. I have no idea what's happened to him!

On edit: oops, he just had a birthday :blush:

23. Looks like we have a winner!
No, the biggest reason for me not getting married is not wanting to have to give up my many quirks, that no doubt would drive any wife insane, not wanting to deal with on a daily basis all the quirks a woman has, ("Does this dress make me look fat?") And I saw two of my sisters go through nasty divorces.

So in the great tradition of "Hee-Haw," Oeditpus Rex...

SA-LUTE! :woohoo:
