Many women have told me that it's suspicious to reach this age without ever being married. They get even more wary when you say you don't have a steady girlfriend. Of course I don't tell them the part that I've never had a girlfriend.

Awww that sucks. It can be unnerving because many think, what's wrong with him? But with age many know the problems and circumstancs happen.

That depends.

Women generally have a type of man they desire, but once they get to age 30, 35, or so they start to compromise.

So, there are a minority of men that every woman wants. Tall, handsome, and successful (or if not successful, whatever niche she is into). After that, it's kind of a man's job to get a woman to compromise. And that's not something that is always all that easy.

So, to be 41 and single, I don't think it's that odd.

It's unusual for anyone to reach their 40's without ever being in a relationship. I'd wonder why.

I agree. There are usually emotional/psychological abnormalities involved. Autism, mental illness, untreated anxiety disorders, etc. It is asking a lot from a woman to take that on in middle age.

Maybe OP just has severe social anxiety, that's what was up with me when I was single. I liked the idea of dating but hated actually going out because I don't particularly like being around large groups or in formal settings so it always felt awkward.

I'm naturally shy when it comes to these issues even though I'm an extrovert around friends and family. I have a very hot temper when it comes to daily issues. It's impossible for anyone to live with me. And the circumstances never came along as well. Besides, my job has always kept me pretty busy.

Even if I've had many girlfriends, I doubt I would ever marry. It's a risk far too great to even contemplate the idea.

As I said. Something that a healthy woman does not want to deal with. So yes. they would rightly be suspicious.

Oh don't worry, I know I've done society a great favour by not having anyone. It's a closed chapter. I just asked out of curiosity for input.
