Obviously a follow up to the other thread...wonder if men have the same assumptions, hesitations, sweeping generalizations as the women seem to have about 40+ year old never married men.
Curious since there seem to be extremely harsh criticisms in the other thread and as a women who will most likely never marry of have a family, I wonder how men feel about that. As judgmental???
Doesn't really bring up any negative judgements in me. So she is in her 40's, and never married. Thats fine! I would not dislike her, decide not to date her, etc, because she had not been previously married.
Since I normally don't run into never-been-married 40 year olds, it might be something I think about from time to time. Anything unusual she does I might associate with her being single all those years.
But, if we got a long and I loved her, it wouldn't really matter.
I would think that they are undesirable because they have a bad track record and no one has wanted them yet. Kind of like someone who keeps getting fired from jobs or has been in the same job for years but was never promoted.
Question for the men - if a women is 40+ and never been married, how do you feel about that?
It's important to understand this: there is no possible configuration of events or situations, morals or values, that could justify a woman being 40 and never married. None. People aren't individuals with different circumstances, women are just one big collective. Clearly she must be defective, shrewish, lacking compassion, self centered, unable to please and keep a partner. Or, her vagina is broken.
In any case, I wouldn't even bother to investigate.
Hopefully sarcasm meters are pegging across these here interwebs...
Wouldnt make any difference to me. I prefer to judge people based on my interactions with them, not based on herd mentality, which so many women love to use all the time.
