Can't get a job or a date, huh?

I recommend losing the "woe-is-me" mindset, and asserting yourself as a man.

If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting.

That was free. You're welcome.
Your advice is good but you don't have to be a donkey about it.

heh, woe is me? so now just speaking truth is woe is me.

why should I even care? as I have said before I gave up on the whole "getting a woman" thing when I was 16'ish

UNLIKE other men, at least I can admit women do not want me for what ever the stupid reasons may be.

Course your theory is to just keep chasing and chasing and chasing getting nothing in return, a smart guy once said doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is insanity. So instead of being INSANE I quit chasing. unlike others I realized it did no good to chase women.

Since I quit chasing women I have got to do a few ok things like visit 48 of 50 states and a good chunk of canada. I got to live without worry. if i feel like doing something dangerous I can do it. If i want to take on a armed robber I can without worry about any "loved ones". simple fact I have done everything I have wanted to do minus a couple things.

Now I just don't care. if I was to die tonight so be it, wouldnt bother me one bit

I'm glad that you seem content with your singleness. I had thought from some of your posts that you might not be. If you weren't content, then giving up at age 16 would indeed be a tragedy. That's barely old enough for most girls to even start getting interested in relationships.

at least you all have at least had the chance to have someone, a few of us never get that chance.

It seems like you do care. That's what's called normal.

Someone kinda Wiser than me once said, and I quote,
"It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

Nevertheless, all I meant is that excuses and pity-parties are the lifestyle of the poor and unsuccessful.

Best of wishes.

To be fair, some of us refuse to date if we don't have a job.

At least I do. I'm not going to drag someone else down. It's not very manly.

I too do not date unless I have a job.

Possible exceptions to this rule for me are: I recently knocked over an Armored Car, I won the Lotto, I am being hospitalized for something terrible that prevents me from working, or I am in School and my Income is from the GI bill.

May I add a word of encouragement? Can I hearten you a little? My wife and I met and married (each of us for the first time) in our thirties. I met her on my travels in Northern Europe. It is a longish (if I were to relate all the good bits [practically everything]) and pretty darn romantic story; neither of us expected we'd ever marry. I'll be only too happy to pray for you, Seoulsearch, in fact I've started already, hope you don't mind - I'm already praying for someone else here, unbeknown to this person, who would make someone a very happy spousy indeed; I can feel it in my bones.

Prayers are always welcome, Koh--thank you very much for your kindness! ;) I'll be all right if I never marry, but maybe someday, if God has it in His plans...

Oh, you're very welcome, Seoulsearch. That's really the name of the game, isn't it? What God has in mind for us is absolutely the best thing for us. Doing or being anything else is to miss it. I'll continue to pray for you though, whenever you come to mind, and friends I've made here often do.

I think sometimes we miss the whole point.

The issue isn't, "Will women a certain age ever get married."

The issue is, "What is the creator of the universe, who is capable of anything, planning for YOU."

May I suggest something Seoulsearch, cats, a lot of cats. Their food comes from a can, they sleep, you can toilet train them and this leaves you free for Popcorn and cereal dinners.

I'm kidding of course. Actually I wish you lived in my area. Every time I read your posts I think of my friend Mike. I think you two have much in common. Unfortunately his wife died almost two years ago and he has a 5 year old son. He hasn't said he's out there looking for someone. I just think he's a wonderful God loving person who would be a wonderful partner. He'd be so embarrassed if he knew I was saying these things. I loved his wife, she was a genuinely loving person. Maybe you remind me of Marta, I don't know. Anyhow if you lived nearby I'd introduce the two of you.

The believer needs to commit the matter to the Lord and learn to say 'Thy will be done'.

So many people have been impatient in this matter, that a saying has arisen: "Marry in haste, repent at leisure".

I will try to be kind but not 'politically correct', because I would be lying. The 'best age' for women to get married is 18-29. Depending on her facial features & body, she could extend it to 35. This is just general info because a woman can get married at any age, but most men like them young and attractive, especially men 50 and under. I am 60 and have no problem attracting women 35 and under. Most people tell me or believe I am 40.

Funny how the many voices we hear in our lifetimes tell us such different things:

Our moms and grammas tell us that it doesn't matter how pretty we are, we are still expected to behave like ladies. "Pretty is as pretty does".

Scripture teaches us to be strong, trusting, faithful, generous, loving, kind, patient, gentle spirited and respectful.

Some folks don't care if we are any of those things as long as we look good. Then some tell us how very wrong it is to try and get by on looks alone. And apparently some believe that how loving and honest we are is dependent upon what we look like no matter how old we are. Mind boggling.

Maybe being alone is better. :) It's certainly less confusing, isn't it?

I agree with everything you said. However, the qualities that our grandmothers & great grandmothers had just don't exist in most women today. The same can apply to men. Generation X & Y are a mess when it comes to women(& men). The quality factor is sorely lacking. The women prior to the Women Liberation Movement were awesome and had that natural balance of beauty, brawn & brains. Today is a different story for women with many 18-35 year old women having problems finding husbands. Many of these young guys just don't want to marry for various reasons. Two of my best female friends got married at 42 & 44 because they were well balanced. It is just a sign of the time we live in.

Biscuit, are you trying to imply that women OVER 35 are'nt attractive? That's a wee bit presumptuous isnt it? :( There is no "best age" to get married at. It happens when it happens. Or if it does'nt happen, then there may be a reason. Dont categorize women OR marriage.
