Why is he old and single??

I would think that anyone that is single and OLD, 30's, 40's and 50's is single because that may just be their choice..It may be unusual for your culture but here in the USA, first of all, 30's, 40's and 50's are not considered old by any stretch unless it by someone who is 18 years old.. But everyone is not interested in a relationship regardless of their age..

always busy at work is one reason :)

I think some people don´t want to, or don´t dare get into a relation. I was married for 40 years, had a BF after I became a widow, but nobody has reached me for some years. I don{t know why is that. I sometimes wonder is some people just give up on life after a certain age.

We will never know why some men or women even choose to remain single. The best I can figure is they don't want to commitment, they like playing the field, they don't want a family, they want to spend time with friends instead of a significant other, they are afraid of commitment or they have had past failed relationships and they just don't want to put the effort into something they feel is just not going to work. Why am I always the one falling for these types of guys? Oh well. When it happens it will happen.

lady boy or mama's boy. I heard some research from Dr. Margarita Holmes that usually if a man is still single by 30 up, it could either be that the man is lady boy or mama's boy. How about the woman like me who is still single at this time, over 30. Simple, either, ugly, fat, or less social life. LOL

Hi Dear, You are quite young. There are several reasons why a man is old and single? Life is full of struggle and worries. A man waste 21 to 22 years of his life to complete his education. Then he requires 5 to 10 year to settle his life economically. In some cases a man get responsibility of marriage of his sisters, education of his younger brothers. Like there are so many reasons that man is old and single.

Possible reasons why some people come to that point, with an old age guy but still single because of some factors. One is because of past relationship, present and the future will come. Many reasons will come to our mind why. The only thing we should think or do is that, understand and don't judge.

I know some men who are still single at those age you mentioned. Their reason are they don't want to settle down yet or not ready to settle down yet and are afraid of commitment. Some said they didn't found the right woman for them.

Hi friend, it is really hard to find out this kind of reasons, each and every single person is having their own unique reason, may be it is due to love failure, attack of some disease, don't have faith with marriage and relationship and so on. We can find out the reason only if we asked about it to that person.

I think, it is their choice to be one. One factor is what you had stated above. May be, they had found that their life us far better than marrying someone.

I know quite a few men that are still single although they are getting old. Some of them says that are busy with work or they are saving up a bit before finding a woman to start a family. Some of them are still single because they like to just have a woman just for a few minutes to satisfy themselves and then when they feel the urge again, they just find another one. Some of them are not ready to commit themselves to one woman in other words.

There are many reason why men reach that stage...first they commit their selves for single blessedness as they said bless are they singles. Second, they are afraid of commitment and obligation; Third, they have too many obligations to handle that they don't have time for that; Fourth, they are too serious in the career that it become their world; lastly, when they are hurt or they are gays. that's my opinion...

in my opinion,the man who still old and single wants to live with himself,they donot like living with their family.he likes freedom,there is no pressure for him.

There is most likely absolutely nothing wrong with this man. To men marriage is a long and complicated togetherness formed around love and ecstasy. Personally i don't plan on getting married ever, i just don't see a point. I will end up wasting money and i really would like to live good. And I doubt this guy had a "painful past relationship" because most guys get over that stuff quick. It is more of a woman thing to get hung up over it.

I know of two men that are in their 40's and never got married. One says he was in love and she broke his heart, he doent want to deal with going through it again. The other said he loves his life as a single man and doesn't want to have to give up or share his wealth. They are both getting older and I think will be lonely old men.

There can be various kinds of reasons that he keeps single. Perhaps he doesn't have a charming look and he also doesn't know how to please a girl. His characters are not very good. His finance may be so-so, whereas today girls pay attention to it. He may have some bad habits like gambling and so on. Perhaps he even doesn't like females and he is actually a gay. Or he had been hurt in love long time ago and he doesn't believe in love any more. He prefer to be single.

Hi Tess, I'm in the US and it really is not uncommon at all here. Many people here just choose to be single. Marriage is just not the number one priority for many. There could be many reasons why a man or even a woman would choose to be single. Maybe he just hasn't found the right person. In that case, it is smart to wait. I'm a 56 yr old woman and I'm single and have been for years and I love it. I have no desire to get married or even live with a man again.

It is not possible to trace reason for single person. It may some one had bitter experience in past. Some time it is luck of fate that some one not find right one. One of my relative is 43 years old. he is single beside lot of efforts of marriage.

just because he wanted to stay single ,isolated from all those things and lead life relinquishly enjoying the moment,some people prefer to be bachelors and enjoy till the last

it has a lot of reason why man stays single... for some it is a personal choice.. maybe because of what they have experience before, or they are not ready financially, spiritually and emotionally.. my brother got married in his early 40`s and it is a combination of personal choice and not yet finding the right girl for him..
