In the world of dating, men chase and women lure for the most part. I can totally see how a even a decent looking guy with his act together could end up never being married and with no kids for these reasons.
However, a woman woman with her act together that is decent looking has had an endless flow of men that would love to wife them up if we're being honest here. I ask this mainly because almost every woman my age (40's) that fits this description is REALLY hard to date from what I have experienced.

And then there are those who think a woman being a certain age with kids is also a red flag.
These discussions always remind me of a former colleague who averred he wanted a virgin to become serious with. That pool became increasingly shallower as he got older.
She could have been career driven. Or simply didn't want to have kids until she reached a certain age or found a sufficiently compatible partner.[/QUOTE

Not a red flag at all. Almost everyone I've dated, including my partner, is in their 40s (or at least late 30s), attractive, cool and never married and no kids. There are just women out there that never desired to have kids, and plenty haven't desired marriage or at least to anyone they've been involved with.
I agree with the OP. Most people do not choose to become old maids. Most men do not choose to become permanent bachelors. Either these people don’t want to be married or they are very difficult to deal with in some way. This does not mean you should not date someone like this, but it does show that everyone else for the past 30 years who has dated this person has either been rejected or has rejected them. Not a good sign no doubt.
