So women are single because they're picky, but men are single because they're rejects?

There's many reasons why single people are single in their 40's. Some were shy or awkward or obsessed with a career. Others were picky and others made poor choices.

Started seeing my husband in my 40's but I wasn't looking for anyone we just kind of became we.
I've never had to be in a relationship and was single for almost 10 years when I married my husband.
I sort of dated but nothing specific or earth shattering before I met him, just went out and had some fun.

I started dating at 38. I ACTUALLY BECAME A SERIAL DATER. I really just have to lower my standards though. I am married now so it can really happen if you are patient.

Your age is not the problem.
It's your baggage.

Just being honest here.
The more baggage you have, the more often other people have to compromise for you.

Very true...aren't we reallly just looking for someone whose baggage is a matched set with ours? That is why my BF and I have now. We both have our quirks, but they are quirks that we understand, so it works okay.
