You may remain somewhat lonely, because your friends will get kids and be preoccupied. Also you don't have that much in common anymore. They rather want to meet up with other married couples with kids. Also as pointed out, you should get kids before you turn 40. Hence, getting married too late means fewer kids.

And many of the women who is still single in the 30s have issues. Most women do not want to remain single till they are 30.
Eh, I haven't had any trouble getting chicks from online. As long as you're good looking, you won't have problems. One thing that definitely helps is being well built/jacked. If you don't believe me, put up a pic of a really well built guy and watch how many women contact you.

However, assuming you're a guy, I have a feeling you and I aren't exactly targeting the same demographic of women (I'm targeting women who are clearly just looking for a good time whereas you seem to be looking for women wanting a serious relationship).

Actually many men want to get married. But getting there is half the battle.

Marriage is definitely not for everyone.

And some will never be up for the challenge.

lol Anyone can get married if that's a goal of theirs, though. I know a fair share of ugly/fat/fairly low income guys who are currently married, so obviously, it's not difficult.

I live a responsible life, and I treat my friends and family well. Beyond that, I do my own thing, and everybody who knows me knows better than to question that.

If your friends are ditching you, get better friends. If your family is harassing you, draw your boundary lines very explicitly and then enforce them. But mostly, stop caring so much about what other people think - you're an adult!

My mom was pressuring me to have a kid for a while (gently - she knows what happens when someone shoves me). Then she got a dog - a really cute little dog that doesn't mind if she puts it in a dress or a sporty little dog coat. Baby problem solved.
Well said - good for you!

I applaud your outlook

Well I see no point in that, that's like a unemployed person finding a job working full-time at taco bell as a taco stuffer

I've never felt too much pressue to get married. Mrs. Chow and I have been together for a long time now. Both sets of our parents have mulitple failed marriages under their belts. They pretty much never try to "force" us to get married.

Mrs. Chow has told me since we first got together that she didn't have any interest in getting married. I said fine. She also didn't want children which was fine be me as well, as I couddn't seem to meet a woman back then that didn't have kids already.

Whatever works for each couple I believe........

Well, most guys on these dating sites are not well built, and they got little chance at all. If you are well built you can go anywhere and have random sex. People like me will have much better luck offline where we can attract girls with our personality. Average people can just get a hooker if they want to have random sex. It's not that expensive.

I am actually in a relationship and yes she is good looking bicoastal10. We decided to wait till marriage. So you can understand what kind of person I am.
