Not a red flag these days.
Get to know the person before you judge their life. |

I 've met 3 older men never married. , I wondered about them why they weren't.
I. Went out with 2 of them and realized why, because of things they said and did. One man I never dated but he seemed Naive from conversations we had. He was a Professional educated man . However, some men even then are Naive when it comes to Women. Give me an Experienced Man. |

You can get married again. The major is finding the right partner.

I don't necessarily find it's a red flag when someone has never been married. What I find to be a red flag is when someone has been married numerous times. I worked with a guy who has been married 5 times, twice to the same woman. I thought he was an idiot for getting married that many times.....I thought the woman who married him for the 6th time was a bigger idiot for ignoring the red flags though.

The ego is a powerful thing... they probably believed it would be different with them While I agree that could be a red flag, I also believe that it depends on the individual and whether he/she did any soul searching to find out why they keep getting into relationships that fail. If a person is actively working on issues of the past, finds closure and has grown, then getting married to that person even if it's their 6th time might have different results. If not, then expecting there will be different results could be slightly delusional. |

I pay attention to what geniuses say and Freud defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome. |

Some women may see a red flag when it comes to me......but it's probably because I won't wave a white flag and surrender to their wishes and demands.

Business Insider, Christina Sterbenz Oct. 7, 2013 We've all heard Albert Einstein's famous line: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." As it turns out, insanity might be crediting that quote to Einstein over and over again. He never said it. ____________ According to Wellocracy "Freud defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome." |

Freud called it “repetition compulsion,” isn't wasn't attributed to insanity. It was attributed to "The theory that traumatic events, painful dynamics, or unfinished processes from the past remain in the unconscious and part of our decision making, and we look for opportunities to finally “master” or resolve them in the present time. This again is a very basic human process, and although it can be painful, it is not “insanity.”" Others like Einstein decided define that condition as insanity, repeating the same thing over again expecting different results. Alcoholics Anonymous later developed the phrase to explain continuing to drink thinking "this time will be different". Least that's what I found when I researched a little. The article did say it was attributed to Einstein but there was no proof he actually said it first. I'll research it more, it would be interesting to find out who actually said it first. From what I'm reading, Freud did not say those words, but I believe others may have interpreted them as such. Which is why we find so many versions of the so called truth when we google it.

Along the same lines some people say "I keep making the same mistake over and over again" which I think is correct. Making a mistake is doing something not knowing that the outcome is bad and/or wrong. Consciously doing the same bad and/or wrong thing multiple times isn't making mistakes, it's being stupid IMO. For the record I have made mistakes and done stupid things more than once so I know the difference!!! |

Can't it have been Carl Jung? Just for reasons that I don't like Freud, hahahaha.
Just that name alone almost gets me constipated, lol. I don't know why exactly, but when I hear Freud mentioned / quoted / discussed I get irritable, like a spontaneous allergic reaction. Never have that problem with Jung. In any case... I'm not sure if a dude who gets married a lot expects a different outcome? I think they don't even think about the future much, just seek feeling good and fulfillment in the moment. Likely only so they don't feel the pain of the void they have inside. |
