What is the "shelf life" of a single guy? I have heard this theory over and over about how women can "smell" if a guy is single and is therefore undesirable(I will NEVER understand why women are attracted to guys that are taken/married. Stupid to me...). Anyway to the women, how long can a guy be single before he loses all of his "luster"? And by luster, I mean the little bit of him that is still somewhat desirable even though he is single. How long does it take for a guy to be deemed as "something is wrong with him because he is single"? 2-3 years? 5-10 years?...... I hope all of you understand my question.
No, I don't understand your question, sorry. It sounds ridiculous. Single guys don't have a shelf life. Are you talking about some of these 40-year-old virgins here on the forum? You know, there are quite a few guys who go through HS and college single, and that doesn't hurt their post-college prospects at all. Nor does having a several-year dry spell in-between relationships. I can't relate to this question at all. Guys aren't undesirable just because they're single. That's absurd.

Where in the world did you hear such nonsense?
No - I don't understand your question. Men and women don't have a "shelf life".
There's no expiration date if he's a quality man looking for a quality woman. I won't lie and say that some women won't say "Oh, what's wrong with him that he's single," because there are some on this very board who will. The key thing is that he is single for certain reasons, e.g., he just hasn't met the right person or he has been healing from a break up. I wish I could say that man who has been single for a long time because he is a player has a shorter shelf life, but unfortunately I've seen too many women think they can change a player to know that's not true.
I guess as long as he isn't single for creepy reasons, like he lives in the sewer or collects doll heads decorated like his exes, then there is no shelf life.
If you are honest with yourself, you know when you are washed up.
It has a lot to do with how successful you have been over the years playing the field or lack thereof. Mostly the lack thereof and being single most of your adult life. If you can count your girlfriends on one hand or even two, it's not looking good for you.
When no one wants you and no one talks to you anymore is another nail in your coffin. When the guys in the room don't share your looks, life accomplishments or soul, yet they still pull away from your shining light and you are ignored.
Men certainly do have a shelf life, it's around late thirties, early forties if you want to put a number on it.
