Never married women past 35yrs old - RED FLAG??

[GotED?]

I am curious, as a transplanted American living in United Kingdom (and for most of this pertains to Europe) - I see quite a bit more women who have NEVER BEEN MARRIED around the mid-30's.

Is this a red flag in itself??

Surely there is a double-standard here, as men who have never been married in their mid-30's could be construed by women (and their hamster spinning) as a possible 'Player' or red flag.

Are women NOT MARRIED by their mid-30's carry some serious issues?? :cheer:

With respect,

My older sister (here in the uk) is hitting 30, not even close to being married.

My Older brother aint the marrying type - his GF , mid 30's never married.

My ex - coming up 30 - I wasnt putting a ring on it.(but she's desperate to be married)

But then I have friends wifing up chicks and spitting out kids too.


I dont consider them red flags. But I have a couple lady friends that are mid-30's and never married that I would put as potential red flags because theyre lovely women.....

Not very helpful, i know - just my 2c.

Ya it is. Theres something obviously wrong with her.

I've analyzed this phenomenon quite a bit and I've come to the conclusion that yes, there is alwys a red flag when it comes to never-married older women. However, a divorcee is an even redder flag.

A little girl LIVES for the day she will get married. All the good, more balanced ones get taken up young. There are almost always significant issues with a women who hasn't found a husband, but I'll take that over a divorcee any day.

A very huge massive red flag, do not pursure.

I will give the limit of 31 or 32 without being married, anything older I wont bother

I strongly disagree with OVER 32 & NOT MARRIED = RED FLAG

It is something I would consider, a divorced lady is defiantly a cause for concern but only if I knew the truth.

I've seen many breakups with the core reason that the man left the women as they were not ready for marriage and kids. I do not understand how the woman would be carrying serious issues.

I think most single older women are awesome and in better shape.

Put aside off topic - If I found out she has children that are still of age to be living at home, I'd be running for the hills.

Divorced women stay bitter pretty much forever. I don't think they actually get over it.

We know women hold grudges indefinitely.

No matter how free and loaded with $$$ she is after a divorce, she will still punish her new man for the "sins" of her ex husband.

I don't really believe in auto red flags; you get to the point where you red flag everyone and it's paralysis by analysis. Not without getting to know a person first. I trust my instincts and gut and think I'm a suburb judge of character. I don't commit to anything with anyone until I know exactly what i'm dealing with .

I could date a divorced woman under the right circumstances. I could date a non married woman under the right circumstances. the biggest cavet I have is dating women who have kids already. I have a son and it's hard enough for me to be a daddy to my own little knucklehead, let alone raising a kid who i can't spank (at least threaten to) who will never see me as his real daddy i'm out on that. but i'd never say NEVER

As far as I can tell at this point, the consensus is nowhere anywhere.

I guess there is no guarantee whether a woman who has never been married in her mid-30's or a divorced one is automatically a redflag.

European women, from my experience - has less of a 'hurry up and marry after you turn 18yrs old' than the typical American experience. Perhaps Americans are thoroughly much more religious and marriage seems to be a big deal in the early 20's.

Prolly.

I don't care, though.
