I wasn't over 40 when I got married, but I did find Mr Right in my mid 30s.....we are exactly the same age minus 7 whole days lol. We met at 35, married at 36....and here it is 11 years and one wonderful almost 7 yo little boy later....
All of these women are college educated. Two are divorced moms with school-age kids. The other has always been single. Two are business owners. One just finished an advanced degree. Only one has what you'd call conventional good looks though all of them are physically attractive. None of them are overweight - - or skinny. None of them wear much makeup or go overboard doing their hair or nails. They range in style from somewhat preppy, to sort of hip, to earthy granola. Two are moderately religious, one is not. All of them are emotionally strong and have their sh** together.
Is this your personal stereotype of women you'd already expect to be married/not divorced?
Fortunately, reality is far kinder than you think to plain-looking, overweight, uneducated working class women who wear makeup, don't have their sh** together and are emotionally weak.
There isn't a question. It was a statement. If you follow this forum for any amount of time you'll read so many posts about people who wonder if they'll ever find someone. And there are many who have stayed happily single and surprised themselves by ending up in a relationship. Single moms often believe no smart man would have them. There are also plenty of men who think they need to be alpha males to find girlfriends. And there are tons of people who believe anyone over 40 who is still single must be damaged goods.
For all of those posts, this is just a happy triple coincidence I've observed out here in the real world.
Yes, some posters keep saying that if you are over 40, you are not attractive and have saggy boobs. If you have moles you might as well just give up.
It's ridiculous. People can find mates over the age of forty. Some people may never marry or be in a long term committed relationship, but that's not true for most people.

I suspect those men who think all women are saggy over 40 have never seen a real woman naked. I am 43 and my breasts are still high and firm. They sag a bit since they are large but not really saggy. I workout too so no stretch marks or cellulite anywhere on my body.
We have this friend that's been through the ringer with his ex. I have a friend at work about his age and I suggested that he meet her. He said that he wasn't interested. I told her about him and she said that she wasn't interested either. They're perfect for each other. Now if I could just figure out a way to get them in the same room together......

Similar, here...I met my husband at 35, got married on my 37th birthday, my husband was 41 and also previously unmarried. We will see in the next year or so if having biological children is in the cards for us.
It's certainly a really good thing that I got married when I did, because it's highly likely that any morning now, I will wake up hideous with magically saggy boobs, and then it's all over. Fortunately, I now have a husband trapped.
You're Lucky Tabula because the morning of my 40th birthday my boobs were so saggy they hit me in the eyes. Apparently they deflate 40 years from your birth, because I went to bed with firm breasts. I am so hideous, I got wrinkles that morning as well, though I never had them before.
Seriously though I'll probably get married when I am 45 and he is 54. We probably won't have kids biologically but part of it is because he might be sterile or close to it (we are checking into it). However we have discussed possibly adoption of an older child (truth be told I don't like babies but love toilet kids). We've also discussed adopting animals which we will do (and we both have animals).
