Ditto, though I've only been married for five yrs. Unless the next right one were really rich, I just would not put myself at the financial risk involved with getting married. I don't mind ending up alone, but I wouldn't want to end up alone and broke.

When you're 20 something it's easy to fall in love.

At 40 something you become more discerning, less forgiving of short comings and more selfish.
That's what happened to me anyways...

I care about my GF but she's not everything to me.

Would I like to meet a lady that is "The One"? .... Careful what you wish for

A friend of mine is 62, good looking and been single for over 20 years.....I say: "Andy, how have you avoided betting married in all this time?

Andy shakes his head and sez: "I've know a lot of crazy *itches over the years.."

I dunno. I was married 12 years, got smart and divorced her. A year later (almost to the day), I was married again. Still not quite sure what the hell happened there! I must say, though, the current wife is really a great person. If she and I don't work for some reason or another, I definitely will NOT get married again.

Look, there's totally effective method to staying single and sane.

If a suitable chick crosses yer path , the kind that get's ya fired up and going.
Play it cool tell her you got a previous appointment and you'll get in touch.. Then you go home.

At home, you make sure to think about all her qualities, nice face, legs that go on for ever, that perfect pair of hooters, her interesting , nice and friendly character..
And make sure to punch yourself in the nuts, HARD.

And keep punching yourself in the nuts whenever you catch yourself thinking of her in a way that is anything more then being a friend.
Immunize yourself from the temptation that is her...


Eventually she'll run in to you, and if done right you will show no interest in her whatsoever.Your body language , your way of talking to her will be as if you are talking to your own sister who ain't all that pretty and became a nun...
Obviously that will make her want you, but any move on her part, will make you put yer hand in yer pants, and while protecting them and whisper to your boys:" i won't let her hurt you 2 any more. Don't worry.. It's safe now."

Then you tell her, I'm sorry, but i think we should just be friends.. I feel you are smothering me.

Why would you deny yourself drinking of the wine that is her. Enjoy it, use it up, get your fill. and then move on. Or maybe, just maybe, she wants to get together once a month for a marathon session with breakfast in bed the following morning to remind herself that she is delicate, desireable flower that also can double as an insatiable animal......wow, that would be fun.

When the hot babiliscious crosses my path, I re-image her in my mind's eye sitting on the toilette, to include the auditoral and olfactoral acoutrements. This works until the crisis passes.

Joe Bob, I am never getting married again so...

You guys have a very narrow view of women. Although I have to agree a lot are gold diggers, there are some that are not. And my philosophy on that, you can't be "dug" if you don't let her get past holding the shovel.

Furthermore, to give you men that never want to get married again hope, I know many women who don't want to get married. Ever. They make their own good money and just want good companionship. I am just saying there is hope out there for you guys that are so freaking scared a woman is going to screw you for your money that you admire from a far. Just be careful who you choose. Don't tell me you can't smell those gold diggers from ten miles away, cuz you can. I know, you may be skeptical but again, this is why I pay my own way: who is to say I am the one who ends up disliking the man? I would prefer to have NO ties to him. Easier to make the cut.

So, to be happy and single? My plan is to find a sweet, fun, caring man who spoils me the way he treats me, not by his money... And NEVER wants to get married.

The One will be a man who sees as I do. That marriage, although an understood and important tradition, I don't find the benefit in it. Ironically, being a divorced person, I feel like marriage nowadays are not taken seriously. I guess that is why I am "jaded". Even though I laid down my heart for certain promises the other person did not. So, marriage to me is just a piece of paper and money thrown to a silly party for OTHER people than for the people who are supposed to be the ones enjoying the moment. So, the man that will be THE ONE, will understand that I don't need a piece of paper or big party to stay committed. To stay in love. And if anything, that just shows how much stronger it is. But that's my belief, as strange as it may be. Some guys eyes light up when I tell them I don't want to ever get married again. But like those gold diggers you can smell a mile away? I can smell those men too. No thank you!

I just want everybody to be happy. If you are married I think that each partner has to give 200% or else it won't work. I see happy singles and unhappy singles. I see happily marrieds and unhappily marrieds. Whatever your status you have to be happy with yourself first before you get involved with anybody else. Married 25 years and my wife is my best friend. I am so lucky.

I kinda disagree. Most 20 somethings have a big a list of "must have" qualities for The One, whereas when you get older, you realize most of those are not that important.

But what do I know? I just got out of my 20s.
