OceanTropic Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Otherwise he would have been snatched by now. True or false?
Enchanted Girl Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 He might not have been ready for a serious relationship before that time. A lot of men don't even get ready for one until they are 26-28 years old and girls that are compatible with those people don't always immediately fall into their laps. Not to mention, he might have just had a lot of awful girlfriends in the past and be a really great guy, just bad at choosing women. And there's also those guys out there who are shy and not necessarily the most handsome, but are great people that too many women are overlooking. So no, there's always exceptions to everything.
skydiveaddict Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I say false. sometimes it's hard to meet the right girl. And considering the divorce rate is more than 50%, waiting may be the smart thing to do
Serenitynow Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 HAHA who may I ask is going to snatch him up ? I thought 99% of the women on here agreed that its the man's job to do the snatching. How many serious relationships does the average guy have by the time he's 30 ? 2 maybe 3 at the most ? So with say 3 serious relationships, that would mean that of those 3 women, that at least 1 of them would be good material to be a wife ? I think the odds are seriously against that to make such an assumption. Most guys would need to weed through more than 3 to find the one. .
sagetalk Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 False. I'm almost thirty and I haven't even gotten started yet .
melodymatters Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 False. Forty is the number you are looking for !
Chicago_Guy Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Otherwise he would have been snatched by now. True or false? False. I know lots of guys who are very successful in all other ways in life, but just don't have a lot of success with women.
Feelin Frisky Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Otherwise he would have been snatched by now. True or false? Azzholish.
Stung Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I'm going with false. But then I am of the opinion that it's usually a mistake for anyone, male or female, to settle down and marry and have kids before age thirty, anyway. I guess I support late blooming...and finding "the right one" can take a depressingly long time, as most of the people on this board are aware. If he's thirty + and he's never had any kind of relationship at all, then I would wonder about his social/communication skills, however.
AD1980 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 If he's thirty + and he's never had any kind of relationship at all, then I would wonder about his social/communication skills, however. Thats kinda of where im at..Im kinda shy and not good at meeting new people..Once i get to know you i open up but approaching strangers is not my strength an obvious a skill u need to get women.. I guess not being good looking doesnt help my cause much either
TheWatcher Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 If he's thirty + and he's never had any kind of relationship at all, then I would wonder about his social/communication skills, however. There are a number of men who do not have the self-esteem or confidence to approach/pursue a woman;let alone be in a relationship.They possess an overwhelming number of deficiencies that make it difficult for them to be successful with women.Many are extremely self-conscious and have a disposition which makes women uncomfortable/tense.They would not be able to maintain a woman's interest even if the were to overcome their personal issues & pursue someone. Believe me....I know.
phineas Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I hit a rough patch in my late 20's that carried into my early 30's. had no problem getting dates. they were just with horrible people. Plus I was renovating my house so i spent most of my money & free time doing that.
Incognito3 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 i'd say false... look at penelope cruz's new hubby... definitely wouldn't say there's anything wrong with that guy he's never been married and in his late 30's.
gamma1 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Many are extremely self-conscious and have a disposition which makes women uncomfortable/tense. This part sounds like me. I try hard, but usually I'm talking to someone new I make them unformfortable or tense. I try very hard not to, but effort means nothing. Once I know someone for awhile, it's not so much a problem anymore. With dating, you have one chance and if you don't perform extremely well on the initial phone call there is no date. If you don't perform perfectly on the first date, there is no second date.
paleblue Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 False. Im in my 30's. I could have been snatched up 10 different times by now if I let myself. The reason I am single now is because I chose to be. Ive had 4 long term relationships that lasted between 3 and 5 years. That comes to about 17 or 18 years of my life being in a relationship already. Even if I wait until my 40's, that gives me about 40 years to be with someone. Think about that. If I get married I only want to Once.
buzzie2 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I would say false. Some men and women too just have bad luck with the opposite sex. It could also be that they have a high standard and haven't met the right person. It's all about luck, timing, and attraction. I believe that there is someone out there for everyone so we just need to be patient sometimes although it's hard. I know someone who didn't have a bf until she was age 30, and now she's married with two beautiful boys at age 34.
AD1980 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I believe that there is someone out there for everyone BS cliche...
LoveLace Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Well of course I say it's false, but maybe that's just because I'm in MY 30's and never married myself. The way I see it, just one of those who hasn't been lucky enough to find "it" yet. When guys find out I'm never married I think they tend to go right to thinking 1 of 2 things: she's too picky and too hard to keep happy; or she must be crazy psycho. lol. I think I'm really just now ready to consider committment even I claimed it alot in the past, I think I'm just now ready to proove that. I was all talk and no walk. Reasons for this vary from person to person, it's not fair to judge why just because of their age, even if they are in their 40's or older...it just does not happen for everyone, period, we think it's supposed to but it doesn't, that's the reality and reasons why are really insignificant. When someone wants to know why I'm here I would need a whole day to explain it to them, to read off a huge list of reasons. Likely, that goes for others like me, so IMO there's no point in wondering why to begin with.
sweetjasmine Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 True or false? False. There could be a million reasons why a man might be 30 and single that have nothing to do with personal flaws.
SadandConfusedWA Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 False. If he is 30 and never had a relationship, that's another story.
D-Lish Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Otherwise he would have been snatched by now. True or false? True. If someone hasn't had a serious relationship by the time they are 30, it's a red flag. Depends on what you mean by "serious" though. Are we talking about someone that can't get beyond the 6 month mark? Do they routinely move on after 2 years? You have to look at patterns.
