I'm 49, never been married, no kids, and I've been with a lot of women. Is that wrong? I'm happy with my life, because I realize marriage would lead to "unhappy". Sorry I don't conform, because everyone I know has been married at least once, and most times two or more. Or am I just a dying breed? Single?

Dude, let me give you some advise. Just don't do it. You're still young. Glad to see another "enjoyer". Some people aren't meant for serious sh%t.
 
I recently dismissed a relationship that I thought could have gone with, but, I'm too tough to be hurt.
 
I'm 23, almost 24 (will be 24 on July 31st), and have never even dated or gone out with somebody, much less been married. No hurries here.
 
Nothing wrong with that. I think that marriage is not for everyone. I am 25 and have no intentions of getting married doesn't mean I won't settle down with someone but marriage is not in my vocabulary. Marriage is just not what it use to be.

never even dated? Wow. Wow again. Obviously I'm not the best person to talk to. I can tell you stories of decadence since the late 70's. Need advice? no problem. I just don't know how to non-party.

Crazy i'm the same age and couldn't agree more.

I guess being engaged and not working out has had an effect on me. But I just don't plan on getting married anytime soon, or ever. I'm just glad I didn't go through with marriage.
 
I'm 58, never been married and no kids.

And I know that I won't alter my ways to accommodate another persons wishes. I am way to set in my ways.

And every time I see another one of my friends getting divorced and having to give up half his life's earnings and possessions I am glad I refrained from taking the leap.

Plus I can't imagine any woman willing to put up with car hobby, Hi-Fi hobby, RC helicopters, and dropping whatever I am doing to take care of a client.
I was having dinner with a woman I had only gone out with a couple of times when a client called me with a problem in getting a three camera switched shoot running properly.
I told her I had to leave at once and she could go with me if she wanted or take a cab home after she was done with dinner.
Boy was she PISSED!
She asked me what was more important to me, my client or her. And that's when the fight started. I threw a hundred down on the table to take care of her getting home, paid the bill on the way out the door. And put her on my "do not accept" file on my smartphone.

It seems that sometimes it just goes :idea: :kiss::argue::eek::wow:

Maybe that's why I'm single?
 
You do want to get married before you start getting your social security benefits...I'm 30, been married for 4 years, and have a 1 year old son. There is no point to get married if you are not planning to have kids...
The choice is yours...

Wow I feel like I am reading a mirror. Exxxxxactly what I said. No marriage ever. No kids ever. All I needed was myself and my cars... Or so I thought. Been hurt too many times before in relationships.

Now I am celebrating my 10 year wedding anniversary next year... and just had our 2nd kid, 7 weeks old. I could not be happier.

You guys are right though, marriage and kids are NOT for everyone, and that's quite okay, and I respect that. But it IS right for me. I would have no purpose without my wife and kids.

Agreed. OP sounds like he's been trampled a few times and now can't open up to anyone. Marriage and life itself are gambles.

That said I can't see being 80ish years old probably living in a "home" and being glad I never tried and even worse not having any kids. That would feel amazingly lonely.

Maybe a few nice cars and a regular shipment of petroleum by products from AG will keep your mind off it.
 
I'm 27, and been married for a little over a year, and been with my wife for 4 years. When I was in my early 20's I thought I was never going to get married, and I was just going to enjoy the company of a woman until they turned into a psycho (as most have the ability to do) and then move on to the next. My plan was working out perfectly until I did meet my wife, and to my surprise she never turned into a crazy person. I couldn't imagine not having her to share my life with now.

All that said, I don't think there is anything wrong with not wanting to get married or not wanting to have kids. It's a personal choice and no one but you should be able to tell you if it's what you should do or not.

With an avatar like that??? Who wouldn't want to get married lol
 
Been married to the same woman since December 20th of 1969. As I get older the things that make me smile are a little different then what used to bring a smile to my face. I have always been a car guy and now can share my interest with both my kids and grandkids alike. At a younger age it was all about me and I thought it would never change. Now I look forward to watching them grow and can't imagine it any other way. This may not be the ideal route for all to follow but I'm glad its the choice I've made.

LOL, that actually isn't my wife, but it's one of her good friends that was modeling my new shirts for my online store. I would hav loved for my wife to do it, but she was being a prude at that particular moment :rolleyes:
