No you aren't because you spend 22 hours a day on dating sites, or crying about it on here.

The fact you lie about your age makes you Stage 10 Desperate.

I pray you never actually find some poor guy with low self esteem. You will make him miserable, he will divorce you, and then you will hate yourself.

At your age, it's going to be nearly impossible to find someone who hasn't been divorced. I would choose a divorced person over a super picky stuck-up never married person every single time.

I'm sure when those now divorced people got married, they were thinking the same thing...they took a chance and failed, just as you will if you ever get married.

On the other hand, there are men who are just beginning to look for marriage at 40, after working hard to establish themselves in their career, and they're looking for women around their age with no kids and no divorce. I think IDDY has a shot, but she'll have to work at finding those guys.

And those guys, if they have any sense, will work at running in the opposite direction at breakneck speeds.

Yes, and don't care. I tell people I'm focused on other important aspects of my life right now and they don't seem to get it. Can't expect a rational response from people that got married in their 20's and never moved around for work.

OP: It's all in your head... start working on changing yourself now. Positive changes in confidence and personality can come from things other than dating, be it a new hobby or succeeding in your career. Don't let rejection dictate your self-worth. Many guys (myself included) were like you in your early 20's.

Great answer, but yes, people do judge. The workplace is rife with prejudice against single people.
