In a western society, generally how long will someone stay single?

[Inflikted]

If you're me? Forever.

 

the more someone has to offer the less the time they will stay single, in general

 

Oof...

You can look this up on google--age of marriage, time spent divorced

It is basic sociological fact. By race, age gender, nationality.

I’ve heard plenty of stories about people being single a long time or having trouble in the dating scene. In all honesty if I hadn’t met my wife, my one and only gf at 20 I may have been one of them.

 

Same here, except that I met my wife in my mid 30's via internet dating, and the only reason that I did internet was because the friend that I hung out with met his wife and I figured that I wouldn't see him much anymore so had to do something (this is when I was 33). Up to that time, I had one girlfriend in my late 20's which lasted about six months. After we broke up, didn't go out on a date for almost five years.

 

In an earlier era, I would in all likelihood still be single today at 52.

My grandmother waited 25yrs to rejoin her husband on the other side, she wouldn't look at another man. When they finally told her she only has a few days to live it was the most peaceful and happiest we'd seen her look in years.

I think having no friends is more scary than having no life partner. I have been single most of my life.

 

I don't really know why that is. I am not a dating machine and I don't want to hook up with whomever in term of a woman. I don't think that I have bad social skills. Otherwise I would have not friends and my Parents/Brother and I would be on the outs.

 

If I do get married. Its only going to be with a woman that really gels with me for the most part.

I have not been in the dating scene for the past three years. I guess I don't have that big of a drive to really meet women. I mean, sure, I have had some moments in recent memory, but circumstances caused me to refrain a bit (For example, my behavior went a little off-the-rails towards someone I liked; I also tried hollering at some girl somewhere, but I choked in asking for contact info).

 

But really, at this point I am more content, if actually preferring to be single. I don't feel like I have much to offer women at the moment as I have some issues to deal with. But friends of mine have told me that I should try pushing myself to put myself out there. Maybe I should try to push myself, but I don't know.
