 i don't get this myth
	i don't get this mythfriends my age and older who are single are much less likely to want to get tied down than younger girls. we're used to having everything our own way and having nice things and a good career etc etc, and it takes a lot to want to swap that for nappies and school run. i was much keener on the marriage/babies thing when i was about 25 in hindsight. now i've seen my brother's life with 3 sprogs, it's not that appealing!

 My ex girlfriend was knocking on 40 and absolutely deperate to get married
	My ex girlfriend was knocking on 40 and absolutely deperate to get marriedShe'd never been married before and clearly thought it was the ultimate achievement. The ink was still drying on my divorce so there was no way on earth it was happening. I finished it and she was 'totally devastated' apparently. So devastated that she had her claws into someone else within a couple of months and is now apparently engaged to another one having been going out with him for just 10 weeks. A bullet dodged there I think.

 ridiculous
	ridiculousbut i suppose it depends on circumstances. if you own your own place, have it just as you like it, go out every night and have a good career/income, then there's less incentive to change that, i guess.

 There were certain aspects of my first marriage that probably weren't ideal, shall we say.
	There were certain aspects of my first marriage that probably weren't ideal, shall we say.Alt - I was single for about 9 months when I was 19, and for about 7 or 8 just before I met my current wife. At the risk of being accused of sex lies, online, I have to say the amount of action you can get if you're single in your early thirties is breathtaking.

 It's a delicate balance
	It's a delicate balancepaying more attention to the guard dog is good, you come across as sweeter and more sincere, and you get to demonstrate your winning personality, and at the end of the evening perhaps casually move a little more attention to the lady you're after.
Sadly, what usually happens is it all gets a bit hazy after two or three pints to many, you wake up next morning in an unfamiliar bed with a lead and collar on the floor and you have to gnaw one arm off to escape without waking her, and the other off to remind you not to do it again.
