Yes, it's totally, completely and utterly weird! :wink: :tongue:

You know I am kidding, Knox! flowerforyou

Of course it's not weird! People's opinions don't matter if you are happy with the choices you've made. And, like you said, you know you haven't met anyone worthy of your devotion so there's nothing 'weird' about that at all!

hmmm...what is weird anyway? I believe it is all based on your individual perspective. I have two brothers that have never been married...one is in his late thirties & the other in his forties.

Me, I was looking for love in all the wrong places I suppose...I could not wait to get married (married when I was 19)...I thought that would make life wonderful...looking back on my life now, I wish that I had waited for my true soulmate...of course I guess I would still be waiting as I am now & I do have four beautiful children and life is good.

So, what is weird...never being married or marrying the wrong person for all the wrong reasons? We sure do learn a lot in this life...I am finding more & more that it really is not so much about our destination but it is all about our journey... :)

it's not weird. some people choose to wait longer, some people dont choose, but deal with it. as long as there are things in you're life that you're happy with how they're going and happy with yourself i see no problems. if women think that's weird or that's some kind of hang up to them, they're not worth your time any way.



gotta watch us, some of us are a lil crazylaugh laugh laugh

I can see why people would think that weird.....in our society people get married and have kids.....but in the last few years more and more people are waiting longer for that due to careers or just not wanting to deal with all the things that come with marriage.

With the divorce rate as high as it is........why would anyone want to get married?

Youre not weird, but I think alot of women want to know the reasons behind it.......like is it because you can't commit?huh

I will be a complete a**hole and be judgmental and say oh my yes you are sooo weird.

Now, if you laugh then you are ok. If you care about my opinion, then seek help.

What I am saying is, who cares what others think. There are people who are never married, there are others who never have sex in life. And they are happy.

Take it easy, weird person you :D

I'm 58 years old and never been married. I've also never had a full-time live-in relationship. I too have hear people say that this is 'weird'.

It's not weird to me at all, it just means that I never met the right person.

What's really weird to me are people who marry the wrong person of who even do that more than once!!!

That's really WEIRD if you ask me.

Knox, I think what's WEIRD is that people try to apply their own personal (and, might I say, arbitrarily-determined) standards to someone whose life they know nothing about.

I've been married, and I honestly wish I could say I never had been.

Just because the majority deems something "normal" doesn't make it right for everybody. I've been called "weird" for 127 different reasons, but it all boils down to the idea that people get uncomfortable if they can't squeeze you into one of their nice little (suffocating and claustrophobia-inducing) boxes.

Some of us just ain't boxable.
