Guys, what are your thoughts on females that are single at 25

[ltjg45]

I disagree with this...I feel in the dating world that it's still very much a mans world. I also think men are too picky and unrealistic, delusional even....lol

 

If asking for a nonsmoker, one who is working, doesn't drink too much, and one who has some form of beauty is too much to ask, I will have no issues staying single.

 

Either that or I am not good enough for such women. If so, I can accept that too.

[ltjg45]

Of course.

 

And of course you guys are all willing to supply:

1) never married

2) no kids

3 no hangups (I have yet to meet the mythical "no hang up man.")

4 no criminal record

5 no debt

6 no addictions

7 not trying to get a woman to clean up your "mess...."

 

Right?

 

I can check all except for 3 (if I have any. I really don't know anymore) and 5 (I am currently paying to clear that off).

 

I will take it that isn't good enough yet to most women around me.

Your profile says you are in NYC. In the Northeast, there are no assumptions based on age. I suppose many might think you were too busy to settle down but this isn't the deep south where you are an Old Maid if you don't have kids by 20.

 

I was 39 when I met my husband. We got married for the 1st time (& hopefully only) when I was 41.

Well i'm 27 a male and single, and no i wouldn't assume anything (assuming makes an ass out out of u and me as the saying goes) until i knew the person. i try to not believe in stereotypes, though some are true.

I hope not because I plan to be single when I am 25.

I am 26, and 5-6 months out of an 8 year relationship.

 

I wonder if there are any preconceived notions about females who are single at this age. In the 'why are you single' respect.

 

Do people automatically assume they aren't relationship material etc.

 

Well as as single guy aged twenty five, I hope there there aren't about men

 

But in terms of being relationship material.. well a girl who is demonstrably single is a better bet than trying to poach someone's girlfriend. I mean if you succeed in spiriting her away from her boyfriend/fiance/husband, what does that say about her?

 

On the contrary, you having had such a long term boyfriend shows you are good relationship material.. provided the ex really is an ex.

If I met a girl aged 25 who had never had a proper boyfriend (and who wasn't a virgin holding out for the right guy) or who had been in many relationships, but only for a few months at most, then alarm bells would probably ring.

Well, I'm not a guy, so I can't give you specific feedback on what they'd like - men (like women) are so varied that it probably wouldn't matter anyway.

 

As for relationship material, I really doubt anyone would pin you down as 'not relationship material' solely due to your age and singlehood, especially as you held down a (presumably healthy/happy for the most part) R for 8 years when many would have been sleeping around. To me, that is be a good sign in a potential long-term partner.

By 18, you should have already been married, barefoot and pregnant. You could have been squeezing out your 6th child by 25, maybe more if you have twins!
