I'm almost 40 Freedom.. past relationships/GFs hurting me so much, mentally ill because of it. Until I can find someone that truly understand me (don't care the look), my hobbies, etc etc, let it be like this. it's great to be single. I'd rather die single than go through that pain again

This so called problem is going to get worst. For some reasons, influencers are given louder voice (as in most of the time, stupid people), they speak louder and can be heard more by people compared to pre-instagram era. many people cannot choose wisely and cannot choose who should be their role model. so if influencer A who is promoting plastic surgeries are very popular now, most people follow only and many will think girls should look like that influencer A. happens the same towards men as well. girls see the sample of "this is how a man should look like" and so they keep that in their mind, unconsciously just making them prefer the men that looks like those that appear in their instagram ever think why would the designer of Instagram think its important to highlight how many followers a person have?

QUOTE(beeMay @ Jan 5 2021, 05:56 PM) hmm okay the reason why i am asking this is i don't want to be like that. I mean, i know some ppl choose to be single forever but thats not me. I do want to settle down and have a partner one day. I want to know how can I work to prevent thatStop watching unrealistic drama, porn, influencer tok tok, Instagram. Nobody choose to be single given a choice. We are social being by default. The default is being change by the media particularly the Internet.

QUOTE(donnysen @ Mar 19 2021, 09:08 PM) Some of them is single because they prefer sweet dating and not marriage life. Like my uncle, he is not married yet and love to chit chat with girls online like FB and SB, where easy to make friends thats kinda like doing smth that goes nowhere.

QUOTE(beeMay @ Jan 2 2021, 09:17 PM) as per title. Sorry if this question is offensive/stupid but Im genuinely curious. I met a lot of old people that are still single (never married) and just wonder why. their age is 40+, some i know are retired like 60+, theres one grandpa i met before too (idk his age, maybe 70+?) , i assumed he is a grandpa with grandchildren but actually hes single and never married. I cant ask them cause they might get offended. so i ask here lol i have 1 relative she is 40 and still looking but no luck. I personally think her personality is good, maybe physically not so attractive but ive seen uglier people and people with worse personality have husband/wife. i dont get it, i thought theres a person for everyone? the price of urbanhood i guess while the rejected whites come stealing all the asian pu55ie have yet 2 see more asian man with white girl unlike the vice versa This post has been edited by skylinelover: Mar 22 2021, 09:27 PM

I'm in my early 40s, not married but have a GF, she's in her early 30s. I think we are ok the way we are and never thought of getting married. I'm working in Shanghai and she followed me and now she found a job as an ID in Shanghai.
I think now marriage is a very brittle institution, I've had friends who married 3 times and then finally learn to be smart after 3 divorces and stayed as partners for the 4th time. I've also had a colleague that has a wife in 3 different countries that he worked in (how he manage that I don't know...please don't ask)
Most important thing is, know what you want in life and don't let others dictate how you should live yours. I've had a few chances to get married when I was younger, but just decided against it. I don't come from a broken family, my mom and pops are still around and they are happily enjoying their retirement.

In my previous company, i had that same question when there are 3 sister that are over 30s still stay single. They are nice, they are financial independent, confident, humorous, ... I don't know why, I think because they learn how to survive indepentdent so they don't bother if alone. And maybe man prefer younger girl, always better to date a young girl who will likely to agree with them instead of questioning or having fight. Well, My brother married his fisrt love, but its sad they are now separated after 1 year, i hate his wife she disrespect my family, but i feel sad for my bro. Btw, there are so many old ladies around me still unmarried and many divorced case, like.. i always thought that people who married are always happy, they found love and happy ending but , because marriage is biggest deal so maybe people tend to stay safe rather than take a risky chance that last long for life

Of course there are cases on both sides that accepts / rejects, but in general, girls seem more ok with it. Of course, this is less true on dating apps.

QUOTE(Rebecca2000 @ Jan 7 2021, 08:46 AM) As you get older, you get more set in your ways. It is harder to adjust to others. Relationships take 2, and constant adjustment to each other. When one is younger, there is more room to learn new things, and compromise with each other. As one gets older, they may get very stubborn, and have formed lifelong habits. It is harder to compromise. From what I have observed, I think this is why some older people remain single - even if it is involuntary. It seems true to me... I will not compromise...

Let me tell you why some people who are old who are still single.
It's simple, they've made the choice to stay like that. I'm for one falls under that category, i chose the option to stay single to prevent future headaches and problems.
