Topic: "Never Married"--Red Flag? | |
---|---|
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. Freud, Freud, Freud, Freud, Freud, Freud. You should be good for a very long car ride now!!! |

i dont see it as a red flag. but yet again this is coming from a guy that has had only 2 girlfriends in his life. i might have been married by now but circumstances made it so it didnt happen.

i don't see it a red flag too, i'm 42 years old and still never married, i tried so many times before without sucess, it doesn't mean that i have a probelm or something, but i can say that i'd prefer to marry the right one, not spending couple years and suddenly i find my self with kids divroced or separated...
to be honest i like it this way, mavbe others don't |

I apologize I haven't read previous posts, it's almost quitting time and well...…………... I don't know that I would consider never being married a red flag, it'd be much more of a red flag to me if someone has been married and divorced 3, 4, 5, 6 times

Any male over 35 never married is a red flag
any male over 40 never married is a full on stop sign. |

I remember a long, long time ago, my father said "If a guy is 40 and has never been married, there is something wrong with him." I didn't say anything because I didn't want to have that conversation.

Men who haven't been married by age 50 statistics say, they probably will never marry.
That doesn't mean they are not good people. |

I know a guy 58 years old and never married. We dated some. I don't know about him. We run into each other once or twice a year and talk, so I know he's not married.

Since I've never been married, and not been told do this and don't do that, etc., I'm rotten to the core, not trained, controlled, or ***** whipped, never will be, I do whatever I please.
I know some will say this guy needs a leash, (or a mistress with a whip), but freedom is a right, and sufference is a choice. If I chose freedom for most of my life, am I a bad person ? Are you better because you made poor choices ? I'm not tainted by marriage/divorce gone wrong, not at odds with in-laws or anyone else, no problem children to ruin plans (only me). I should be the perfect possible next partner. A clean skin with no baggage. Why must someone have suffered marital failure to be considered worthy of a date ?? But this ornery old goat having given up on finding "the one" still hopes to find "a one", and I don't care if you got married or not, as long as all your ex-husbands are still alive and well. |

It is not about if they are 'good' people for me, but rather they have similar values and standards. Alot of otherwise good people do not, and we would not be compatible. so, I hope no one thinks that 'red flag' for me means someone is a bad person. Im only talking in terms of incompatibility. |

From a 2012 article published by "Psychology Today"
"Past statistics have shown that in the U.S. 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce. What are the reasons for this progressive increase in divorce rates? Theories abound." If a person dates ONLY for the purpose of getting married or entering into a long term relationship statistically "red flags" are more warranted for people who have been married numerous times than people who have never been married. IMO if a person is ONLY interested in dating, has NO interest in getting married or having a long term relationship then the marital history of another person shouldn't be a determining factor. |

That is an interesting response. |

I think Chinese girls like red flags don't they. what so funny about Chinese girls? Nothing, but Chinese girls can be very difficult to date, because there are so many called either Wing or Wong, you generally find that you wing the wong number. |

So is being divorced 2 or 3 times better than never being married? ...I should say not!

@Smartazzjohn That is an interesting response. Interesting as in thought provoking or perplexing? Or both? |
