The older one gets the more they become set in their ways and it becomes harder for them to embrace the changes that come with marriage or a committed relationship.
Other than the seasoned players, there's the other quarter that doesn't quite know how to live a straight life in a queer way so they hold out for as long as they can.

Yes froggy,its emanates from teen and progresses beyond average bachelorhood age-bracket.If someone hits 50,unless he is super rich,getting a wife type woman would be honestly difficult.
 


If A equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y+Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

You are assuming that all men want to marry.

True,at the age of 40 plus it becomes hard for the man to adjust to accomodating another person's attempts to influence his.At such stage of life the man is used to doing all things by himself he almost becomes over protective of his freedom and lifestyle.

what reason? choosy...perhaps. or if he was a player, ilifika mahali CV inaharibika no girl wants to go out with him hata kama yuko serious. and then u end up marrying a cheapie or growing old without company

na pia those who want to make sth of their life before marrying, u might spend the rest of your life making sth na inafika mahali u realise that that sth is never going to be made.

Most men maybe scared of the commitment part.

Maybe thinkin they are signing their life away so they rather wait till later in life after they have so called lived it up.

Damn : Lakini get married at 35 maybe wifey = 30

Get a kid after a year or so = 37 wife 32.

By the time kid is in class one, it looks like its being dropped off by the grandparents.




( The above figures were just random guessed )

Default trend - 12-16-2007, 10:08 PM

Ray,what is the trend like in kenya?are the "never married men" increasing or on the decrease?

If on the increase then we are headed for a crisis,because there are so many unmarried women as well.

Must men marry?
As someone said, you assume that men need to marry.

Adam was created a "solo guy" and the decision to bring a wife into the picture was God's idea. Adam never told God that he was lonely.

But in matters of getting sex, maze, every man gets it. Thats what matters to men. Sex.

Marriage is for women.

Lmao !!! @ Adam not telling God he was lonely. I dont think he,Adam, even knew what lonely meant @ the time. If as you say, what matters to men is only sex, dont you think it would just be easier to commit and get it all you want ? Intstead of lookin' in the wrong places which would lead one to contracting the wrong diseases.

God jus saw that man needed a partner/helper so he introduced Eve. After they ate the forbidden fruit, everything else went downhill.

If our parents never got married, you would not be here today.

( on the assumption that most people used to get married before gettin kids of which i am a strong believer )
