Do you think that the older people get the harder it is their significant other?

DO you think as people age the possibility of finding the right person becomes harder? Or do you think it's better to be older in this day and age, since everyone seems to mature much slower nowadays

I think people see it as being an issue, really I think it's all about how you approach it and I could very well be wrong. People tend to look at confidence which is something most older daters struggle with, which is off putting to some unless they see past it. I certainly don't think people are unable to find someone but that would depend on them. A disabled person would struggle, someone unselfconscious would find it much easier. It's hard to say but I do think love can be found at any age.

You are so right..love can happen at any time.. I think that people are more mature when they wait to marry..

I think it is harder for an older person to find a companion/husband as it is with a younger person. Most of the time, the older people have children and maybe the children don't want their mother/father to re-marry. WWW.MYlOT.COM?REF=RL2006

I don't know forsure, because I've been with my husband since I was 21. But I'd have to think that it is more difficult as you get older, because the majority of the people in your own age group are already married or involved with someone, and they've had kids. Even if they're divorced by now they come with some baggage, like children, and you may not be ready for that if you've never had kids. I'd say it's best to meet someone while you're young and mature together.

YOu are so right. The majority are already attached and those who are not my be detached for some reason. Those who have been divorced more then once may be so for some reason.

God for you.. some people are meant to marry and others are not.. WHat is important i that you understand the commitment and all that's involved in being married.. You take down the "available sign" and that is sometimes hard for some people

I think, this depens on personal maturity and the social conditions of society as well. But, that should be important considertions are the future of your children. I become a father at 28 years old, with hope when i retire from my job, my chìldren have all settled and succed.

Hi! I think it gets more difficult to find the right person as you get older especially for women because the number of probable partners decrease as you grow older. Most people would be older than you or married or simply not your type or you are not his type.Finding the right person when you are already old is I think just luck and extraordinary. About staying single at a certain age, I guess until thirty two for women would be OK because we also have to consider about giving birth.

So you believe after a certain age; finding a life partner is not so easy?
