Over 35,you most certainly will have fewer marital options, unless you are willing to expand to 10+ years older. It is simple math which makes it true. The pool starts to thin at that point, like it or not. And most of the quality men are already settling down. If getting married and having children is important to you, now is a good time for you to take it seriously.

All the women in my family didn't marry until mid 30's (except one aunt, who married at 18 but divorced) and they're all beautiful too. so yes, it can happen.

The flip side of that is that a lot of people are coming out of divorces mid to late 30's, especially people that got married really young.

I know, I am one of those people. Most are not itching to remarry anytime quickly.

Yeah, that is true, but I think many of those same people would probably be interested in a relationship... perhaps.


I'm not married myself, but I have been with the same person since the earth was new......

Yes, but the OP specifically asked about finding someone to marry. A divorced person who is gun shy about marriage but is willing todate isnt a good marriage candidate.
