I suppose it could be (with my limited sample) that these men aren't married *because* they're immature, not the other way around. But I've decided that being previously married must tend to provide maturity because of the required give and take in a relationship, not having the universe revolve around him, that sort of thing? What do you think?
I've met two men in the past year who always wanted to be married, but were in the 40's and never had been. One was extremely overweight so my guess is that hampered his social life a lot. The other says he doesn't know why he's single, he's "picky", "set in my ways" ... They are responsible and educated and have jobs and are decent people and all that good stuff, but my interaction with them was like talking to a 19 year old boy.
No, in fact most single older men just enjoy having a good time without feeling and acting like an old fart. What is wrong with that? Many of these same guys are substantially more interesting and have all kinds of hobbies and things they do and have done to occupy their time.
I agree with what one poster mentioned earlier. It's not everyone's goal to be married and settled down by 25. There are probably a lot of married men out there who would act just as immaturely as the 'unmarrieds' given the opportunity.
The only difference between the married and unmarried men is that the married guys get smacked with a broom when a woman thinks they are immature. So they hide out in men's clubs.
My partner is 45, never married, no children and still rents. What does that say about him?
Is he in the military? I know military men like that. Their careers are their priority, they know they can't have what they feel is an appropriate family relationship--would rather not have a family at all than do the part-time thing six months a year, especially during wartime--so they never got married.
Mom bragged to me once about breaking up his engagement (to a physician no less!). Mom is controlling and manipulative. To me it is an absolutely sick dynamic all the way around. Is he mature? Well, he makes boatloads of money in a career, so he is financially capable and works full-time. But emotionally he is crippled and a workaholic, and totally under mom's thumb. So I would say that he is NOT mature.
"Loretta, I can't marry you."
"WHAT?!?"
"If I marry you, my mother will die!"

with still renting? I am that age and still rent and i'm single and don't have kids. been on my own since 29. i'm not comfortable with the responsibilities of ownership of property so i rent
i think it lends to them being immature because they don't have to assume the heavy responsibility of caring for someone more than themselves. they also tend to be more selfish.
don't believe me?
if you're a single guy - answer this:
Do you have a super large screen television in a small apartment? you know the kind of tv, the screen takes up an entire wall and you have a chair or sofa nearly crushed up on top of the screen (and you have to nearly climb over furniture to navigate round the room) cause the screen is too large for the room. also, add 10 points if that tv is hooked up to an xbox, ps3 or wii. add 20 points if you have it hooked up to more than one television in the same room so you can watch two sports shows at once.
