not to pour cold water, but those that already wants to marry has gotten marry and carry on with their lives
Basically, what you are left are 'leftovers' either LGBT , picky, high expectation,not normal person or mainly missed the boat etc
@ this age, presumably guy is normal, either ex divorcee/ spouse that has passed away

company i'm working with has a lot of single n unmarried, guys n ladies included, so i can roughly deduce what i'm seeing
I can see the difference in mindset and thinking amongst us

Even then, let's say, there's a genuine available guy, probably ladies are still highly suspicious, well it works both ways.. n so it goes on

Having said that, if I were a late 30-40s person, if i DO really wan to have family, i would probably gone for a mid 20s-early 30s

with online dating, there's no way a girl cannot meet a guy and get married within 2 years, its mostly high expectations. As a woman age is increasing, she becomes an easier target for casual hookups
