Does getting old becomes a desperation in finding a partner?

I think it's different for everyone. I'm 25 and my mom is on me more about being married and having kids than I am. Pshaw. I'm good being single! My friend is 29 and she was married and divorced and is more happy with the single life. I know a few 35+ who aren't married too. I think people are getting married later and I think each person feels differently about when they should be married by. As of now, If I'm still 30 and Single, I'll be ok with it. Maybe when I'm 40 I might feel different.

I am happy being the single woman I am. I do like the company of a man but I don't need to be married to be happy. I like having the freedom to do as I want without checking with someone else first. I don't have to share unless I want to and don't fear cheating on someone because nothing ever gets that serious. I don't think I will ever get married and that is fine. What do you think your friend finds lacking in herself that she needs a man to make her whole? Happiness has to come from within first and if you don't love yourself you will never be able to love anyone else. Getting married will not change that.

I can see her point- I think a lot of women when they hit a certain age and they don’t already have a husband or a family started- start to worry. It’s normal- I just hope she doesn’t jump into a relationship because she thinks she is getting old- Obviously the right person will come along sooner or later- I don’t think there is any need to worry.

Yeah your right, foe me I do believe in destiny. I do believe if it is destine to have a partner it will come even though your not looking for them. Sometimes when your looking it never comes either.

Hello daryljane, I am 35 right now and I got married like three years ago. I wasn't desperate looking for my future husband that time. For me, if there is, there is. I don't have to search high and low for my another half. In fact, I had been thinking that it was the end of my life and I am not going to find a partner forever. But right after I made a decision to learn how to live alone forever, here he was, right in front of me, asking for my hand in marriage! I met my husband a year before we decided to get married. I am happily married right now and being blessed with a cute little son*smiles*

Not for me. I'm to the point where I've accepted if I'm single, that's fine. Plus with age comes more experience and ability, so that's pretty cool for me. I'm never going to race to the altar either, that's a disaster waiting to happen. I'm fine growing old, yet growing stronger and wiser at that.

i think it just depends of the person..i know that i am in peace with my life..and very happy with just me and my son..and im 34..i used to feel like i needed a man to make me whole..but i relize i dont..and can be happy with or wihtout one..but dont get me wrong..if i ever find the right man.,.i wont deny him lol lol..but some womans clocks tick tock..and scare them..others just are afraid they may die alone..but thats them i guess and i wont judge.but for me..i will be ok no kmatter what happens,,:)

I think for a lot of women it is going the other way, the older they get the more comfortable they are getting with being completely independent, I believe the push to get married before a certain age is one of the reasons why there are so many marriage failurs, people are just not waiting long enough for the right one, all they can see is a wedding...

Everyone is different hun, but you should never be in a rush to wed. My parents were desperate for me to marry before I was 30 and against my better judgement I gave in and married the guy I had been with for a couple of years. It was a mistake.

It's no reason to be desperate. Anyway, what's wrong with being single? So many marriages fail anyway, so why be desperate to get married? Maybe your friend is afraid of loneliness, and I respect that. But it's better to be lonely than to be in a bad relationship.

i remember when i was in Osaka, Japan...the girls there have a name for girls who are noT married by the age of 25. they called em "Christmas Cake". thats because Christmas cake after the 25th..no one want to eat them anymore! desperation? its better to be single than to end up marrying the first person to propose and get stuck in a bad marriage.

Its not a problem for me,either.I am also 28 years old and I am still single.These days,women are more open and independent than before.They work in every walks of life and do their own contribution to our society.I thought as long as 1.they enjoy their life,2.they are finanically independent.Then its ok to choose their favorite life style.

Yes: You have a biological clock. Unless you are very rich, in which case you can get married whenever you please. More true for women though - the 'good catch' guys choose younger, more attractive women, so the longer they wait the worse their prospects.
