I've noticed that single men over 45 seem desperate for a woman (sex or relationship), sometimes attmepting to buy someone. Is it the same for woman? Is it unnatrual for a person to grow old and remain single.
LOL, some, possibly, but guys, don't count on it as your ticket "in." Do you really want a girl who "has to" go out with you because she's desperate? Forget this possible factor and just date how you normally would.

I do not know where you got your statistics, but being as I am a single male over 45 (52 to be exact), I find any possible desperation (always been more of a regret than anything like desperation) fading with the drop of testosterone. Now there are anecdotal reports of women getting desperate when they are getting closer to the end of their childbearing years. Whether this is actually the case I do not know.
As to being unnatural growing old and remaining single? Evidently not since it happens to people both in the present and historical record. The reasons for this happening are legion and not always that the single older person is unhuman or defective.
No ! I'm 44 with wisdom and a very good intuition which makes me so NOT desperate. Besides, I'm way too picky to be desperate. If I do meet someone new my mentality is this, they have to prove to me that they're good enough to give my time to...not the other way around. And so far, I have yet to find one that is...and no, I'm not narcissistic...I just know who I am.
But with that said, I have seen a lot of desperate women out there, men too, kinda sad.
I think you can find desperate and non-desperate single women of any age. I don't know if 35+ is the magic number.
I agree. I don't think it's the age but the person. I've seen people that are in their early 20's desperate to date anyone and then people in their 40's that are content with their singleness. Just depends on the person.

Some are but most aren't.
However, slavery was abolished in most places, over a century ago.
Apparently not because I just turned down a date with a perfectly nice and decent looking man last night. No reason except that I can't see it going anywhere and I just didn't feel like going. No, if anything, I've gotten pickier because I'm a lot more aware these days of those traits that just aren't going to mesh with mine. On Thurday I'll be the same age as Mattb4--52.
Now if I was 35 and single and wanted to have children, I might have been feeling a lot more desperate, but I was married then and having my last baby. I guess it was a sign of desperation that I stayed married though.
I know one thing though--I refuse to be like my grandmother and write the whole thing off--she was widowed at 55 and steadfastly refused to consider dating anyone--to her it was a point of pride but at least she was happy with her choice.
