I’m 43 and have never been married. I’m interested in marriage but 1) I will not assume someone else’s debt and poor financial decisions and 2) I want someone who is at least the same physical condition. Credit card debt and excess weight suggest a bad trend that only gets worse with marriage. Unfortunately many otherwise good women exclude themselves from the marriage pool by bad decisions.
In patriarchal societies there is strong pressure on men to make male children to keep inherited wealth within the family. Never felt a need to make offspring and I don’t feel a strong connection to my dad’s farm or home town. Couldn’t leave fast enough and never plan to move back.
