I'm 48, never married, and with no kids. Because so many women my age judged me for it, I found a foreign one. Problem solved.


Got you beat. Soon to be 51, never married, no kids.

Women assume/make judgments about me too without KNOWING... but I don't care. F'em! And I mean that with my whole heart.

Age is a number . Everyone is different some prefer to be single others content going from relationship to relationship . Others seek perfection . Others want to date but never marry . Some want to marry young . So there is no magical template that by this or that age a person should be this or that . So just be open and meet people no matter age and no matter where they are in life .

Not if it turns out that he actually did have offspring but didn't take responsibility for it!

If that is not the case, I think he is good to go!

Maybe? The real question is...What has he been doing the last 20 yrs. of his life? Was he building a rock solid career? Partying his @ss off like there's no tomorrow? Living in the shadows of Mommie? In jail? Bouncing from relationship to relationship? Or perhaps, had a few meaningful relationships but just wasn't the right one.

This is not a yes/no question but there is no third option to vote!
Gotta get to the bottom an then decide. Not assume an discover later "oh he could b the one!.." when its too late.
To me, 40+, no drama, no kids guy is more appealing than sm 30 yrs old boy with child support obligations he's pissed as hell to carry coz he thinks his ex cheated on him... when there is no such thing as innocent/ guilty side exists as relationship/ marriage is falling apart. Having/not having kids is not always a sign of selfish @$$}{0[_€

Yes absolutely Why does a man have to have children? Divorced or otherwise. In fact the way I look at it is , if this man is divorced then it's for the best that he didn't have children. If this man has never been married then I praise him for being a responsible man and not having children with a woman. He probably didn't plan on marrying. So bottom line he is a good catch.

Its not about the fact that you dont want kids. You are too old to have kids now so of course you are going to say it was your choice. As I see it the only choice that was made was made by every guy that u have dated choosing not to make any permanent situations with u. And dont give that bullshit excuse that u havent met the right person in the last 50 years. The point is this, you may be the correct choice for someone without kids but you will always be a wrong choice for someone that does. Except for maybe if they just are looking for a one night grudge f**k or something along those lines.

I understand what ur saying. The problem is the childess ex-less man is because no one wants them. Take a look at the childless and womanless men that have posted in this thread. If you are into guys under 5 ft 8 or look like pedophiles or live with their mom at 40 then you have hit the motherload.

I have an older cousin. Was always very good with us younger kids in the family. Loved kids and always wanted kids. He met and loves a girl before going into the Navy during the Vietnam era. Would of course come back on leave when he could. But she didnt wait for him. He never married till he was 40 also remained childless. He took great care of his wife and her children. And still takes care of his wife. Who lost both legs to Diabetes. Excellent husband and father. So my oppinion is it just depends on the individual like everything else.

Like I said any situation is different. Most men focus on their career and are careful this is a proof of maturity.

Live with their mom?
You know, it's funny that you say that because the funny thibg that I see around is that most guys with many kids are usually broke guys who do not have a clue of what the word "responsibility" means.

40,50 or more, Should not matter. The real question you should ask yourself is, do you beieve that you can be good marriage material, because you have to believe in yourself before any one else will. Doesn't matter your age.. its all about being happy with self so you can share that side of you with someone deserving. Best of luck.

Not wanting kids means he has commitment issues? That makes no sense. Plenty of children are the result of a one night stand. What do children have to do with commitment? Last I checked, children are not required in a long term relationship or marriage.

My late husband was childless and he turned out to be a great Daddy and husband.

And now I would be glad to find someone childless never married because a lot of the men have child and grandchildren issues where life seems to move from one ATM tap to the next , the constant run of extended family through the home means minimal privacy, and basically having to live in constant shadow of some angry Ex or sainted deceased spouse is a real grind. Whatever happen to adult/kids who grew up, flew the coop, and managed their own lives? I enjoy family occasionally but holy moley I don't want a relationship with and Inn Keeper. lol

I for one think you're just trying to cover up some other personal issues ,by saying it's the guy - 40 yrs and above, who has never married, and no kids, as not being marriage /boyfriend material.

I have not married, because I refuse to Just settle with someone, just not to be alone. And of the only 3 times that I have ever been engaged to, only one I would reconsider getting back with, if she wasn't living in another State. But, that would mean that I am settling.

As for No kids, that is a has been a Choice, of being Responsible. When I was with someone, either she had kids already, and had her tubes tied. Or we had the Common Sense to Use protection. If I am not sure if she will be the one I will Marry, then why bring a child into this world, and add another to the Single parent list.

It has nothing to do with My willingness to be in a Committed relationship, I just refuse to lower my preferences, and just settle. When Dating a single mom, her child or kids ALWAYS comes first. That's a given,and the way it Should be. Most guys who Know that, You have chosen to overlook Us. You decided that the looser you chose, who was someone who did not get your child comes first, but only real interest was getting into your panties. So now you classify ALL men 40 and over, never married, and No Kids, as "wrong material" or not able to committ.

Quote from justme_n_sc:
My personal opinion...I won't date men my age without children, because in my experience if you don't have children you don't fully understand the whole "my kids come first, everything else...including you is second" concept. Not to say there's anything wrong with not having children. I just prefer someone who is also a single parent as non parents don't fully understand the whole trying to balance dating and being a parent concept.
I understand the "My children come first, and you come second." mentality.

When my sister had a child, she told me that at the instant her daughter came out of her, her whole life changed, and her daughter was the most important thing in the world. She said I could not possibly understand this because I have never given birth. She also told me that I could not possibly know how to be a good parent because I've never had children of my own. Ladies of dh tell me if this is true.

not for someone who has kids. I've several friends who have tried this with younger than 40. being instant dad without ever being dad is a tough row to hoe. Its tough on trying to be dad as you have no experience, its tough on mom who has to referee and ballance the relationship with protecting her kids and its tough on the kids who may view the relationship as something best destroyed

Quote from lookin4him2012:
You're 29. I would have said the same thing as you at 29. Wait until you're my age and you are actually dating the men that are 40 or older that are in this position. You will think differently when you are getting treated badly by such men. A 40 yr old single man is way different than a 30 year old single man.


Yea, the 40 y/o already KNOWS the games you women play and won't "fall for it". The 30 y/o is still "wet behind the ears".

One of my friends just got married a couple years ago and hes 46. 40 is the new 30 and personally, I think some people are getting married way too young and/or for the wrong reasons (ie got pregnant, for money, looks, prestige...convenience).

I always thought I'd be married to my best friend; someone I had a lot in common with. We all have our reasons why we're not married yet. Doesnt make us damaged good.

Quote from mandycox:
This is so true. Men in there 40's are selfish when they have spent most those years alone. They want a woman to prove there worthyness more. There happy with who and what they are and have less room for change. If a guy is to selfish and stubborn I question our possibilities for growth in relationship.


I think with dating when you're older theres a little more to it than that. When two people are young and dating you're not expected to have too much; theyre just starting out.. And they can build a relationship together. But 2 older people are usually already set in their ways and changing to fit that mold is sometimes next to impossible.

Most older daters are most likely only looking for companionship and a way to combine their resources. (That's my MO...anyway)

Quote from jess_is_back:
I have a few male friends in their 30s already and never married or kids. One friend in particular takes family very seriously and wants is life in order financially, home ect as to provide for a family the way a man should.

My man is 34 and never married or kids. Its the same with him and feels those decisions shouldn't be taken lightly. He cares about my kids and overall adores children.

I actually respect both tremendously for using the big brain and not the little one.


Good man

...if you don't have children you don't fully understand the whole "my kids come first, everything else...including you is second" concept. Not to say there's anything wrong with not having children. I just prefer someone who is also a single parent as non parents don't fully understand the whole trying to balance dating and being a parent concept.

Dated a guy with a child for 6 yrs. And understanding his 'son came first; everything else was second including me' was not the issue...

his jealous, re-married ex wife was the problem...go figure

Not every man wants to be enslaved to marriage or wants kids. Is it a commitment issue, that so many of you women like to bicker about? Maybe for some. Which is actually called "beta" male shaming for not conforming to the societal norms. Is it selfish? Maybe. But we are all inherently selfish. A lot of you women are selfish for imposing your judgements on what a "relationship" is suppose to be. When in reality, there are so many different ways to live, whether single but prefers casual relationships, as a couple in an open relationship, or strictly monogamous. So whatever floats your boat essentially. Some of you women complaining sound like a bunch of feminists, shaming men into sub roles for your amusement. An even relationship is called interdependence, where the couple understands it is a two way street for any formative relationship.

A man's core driving force is: Freedom, Self-actualization, or Purposeful Living. Too many get trapped into mediocrity. More and more men are waking up to this, which is scaring the female establishment. Now there are many beautiful women who love men for being men, and don't attempt to hold him down.

Also, i'm seeing increasing numbers of women who are opting out of the marriage/child paradigm, at an early age. Instead, are focusing on self and goals. I respect these women more, but that's just me.
