i am 51 never married, straight, no partner and i have a social work degree and have been in the field 23 years. i make in the high 50's. am in a low end service job?
while i had a developmental lag in my school years and dropped out of college twice before getting my head screwed on the right way at 25 and graduated and went on to be a social worker, i got much much better but as the years went on i got more and more withdrawn and just was unable to relate to others in close relationships. part of it was i noticed others were advancing in their jobs and i wasn't. im at the point in my life where i just don't care if i ever get married or not. and i have the $$$ to attract someone but that's no way to get into a relationship
i would find it offensive to find out that co workers were spending so much time trying to figure out my sexual orientation. i have nothing against gays but i still find it offensive to find out someone was questioning my orientation
and i probably suffer from mild to moderate OCD which makes it tough to blend social stuff into my life. i often find such events distasteful. im a tough man to please...

You're definitely the type of middle aged never-married childless person I'm far more familiar with than the type freemkt is talking about. In his last message he did acknowledge that the type he's talking about is only like 1% of the population, though, so now it makes sense to me (though it makes me wonder why he brought it up at all since it's that rare).
in its own way it can be tougher to relate to others because many assume i make in the triple digits and that i have more than i actually do, all due to my masters in social work and professional license and the way i carry myself(many assume i am moneyed or privileged because i keep to myself). having to reveal 'the truth" can be a tricky proposition because people can be real superficial and shallow as well as self serving. but i have become real smart over the years to the point where i don't want to change the way I am
i often wonder why people bring these things up. i think if they are married and have kids and have been in relationships, then why would they spend time on the "have nots?"
those SW's in administration who know how to kiss *** or have families make in the $100's where I work. not all the SW's do but some make more than I do
