I would like to but, at 52, I don't think it will happen. I have made a lot of improvements over the past few years, but I don't know if I will ever catch up enough to do all the things I need to do to ever get married.

I very much doubt that I will every marry. I've only really ever felt strong feelings of friendship toward others, and in the past when I sought romantic relationships, I always ended up walking away because I was a bad match for my partner, given my lack of romantic interest and dedication to just being a good friend. It sounds silly, but I had partners get very upset with me simply because I wasn't jealous at all or would remain too calm when past relationship information got brought up!

I'm too hideous to get any women interests even if I wasn't , marriage is economically unfisable , I can't even afford a ring in less a wedding ceremony or church.

I've been married. A couple years were pretty rough but we figured it out. But she came down with an incurable disease and passed away. :(

I won't get married unless the laws are made more favorable or I find a workaround that makes it impossible for me to lose any of my money or belongings. I don't want half or more of everything I own taken away just because the woman I married doesn't like me anymore. I'd be especially worried because I want to pick a good house and stay there forever, gradually upgrading it with stuff like an underground bunker, armory, and gun range. I'd hate to lose all of that hard work.


I'm not a lawyer, but my take on CA divorce law is that a paid up house you own before marriage is yours, and is not community property.

I will never get married because i hate marriage as a concept. I wouldn't move in with someone either. I feel like i would sacrifice my independence by doing either and that seems stupid to me.

I will never get married. I simply don't agree/believe in the practise. I also will not bring a human being into this world.
I would however like some form of companionship, I'm not sure exactly in what form.

I just feel I will never be mature enough for a such thing, honestly - hence the idea scares me.

If I didn't already marry, and I'm 66yo, I think I won't marry.
My reason is that I don't think there's an upside of marriage for a woman.

I won't mind if I never get married. Would be swell if it actually happened, though.

Marriage is a big stretch, I'll go even further and say never date. To me dating seems about as appealing as getting a root canal.

I'd like to, but being reliant on SSI and being Poly, it's highly unlikely.

Not against to it, but I'm too socially awkward to really speak to anyone, I could probably live out the rest of my life on a deserted island and happy. Plus I enjoy my personal freedom too much

I just have extremely bad luck. I'll try to take some kind class or something to meet people. I've tried photography classes, bonsai tree classes, cooking classes, etc. Without exception, there will be a couple of older ladies (mom/grandma age) and then only other guys show up. It's hard to meet women when none of them show up.
