one of my favorite things is when a longtime single "finally" gets married and everyone now guesses that they must be normal after all. weren't they normal before they got married?
i have a friend who had an older sister who got married in her late thirties and i always heard people gossiping that they thought she was weird and way too picky. turns out "too picky " meant that she didnt want to date anyone who lived out of town. now since she lived in nyc, it wasnt an unrealistic stipulation. she was living in a community where there were plenty of prospects. anyway, i knew my friend's sister and she had a great personality and was quite pretty. anyway, in the end she found someone within her age range and did marry. then all of the gossip mongers sighed a communal sigh of relief and decided " she must be normal after all"
oy vey! she was normal all along.
there are alot of abnormal people out there who get married.
and just because one actually gets married, it doesn't mean one will never get divorced.
since when has being divorced meant that one is more normal in the dating pool? no , i dont mean to bash divorced people. i would be perfectly charmed to date a divorced guy. im just saying that just because one has been married before it doesnt guarantee one's normalcy. after all ,there is a reason that they have gotten divorced. i have heard that there is an even higher rate of second marriages ending in divorce than first marriages.
there are no guarantees or perfect formulas to finding the optimal spouse because people are people and everyone is different.
there are lots of psychos who are single as well as married. marital status does not certify sanity.

People who say that unmarried people are not normal are ridiculously annoying.
My dad tried to set up my mom's cousin (who is 37 and never married) with a girl who was about 34. When he heard the girls age, and that she was never married, he asked my dad "Whats wrong with the girl?"
My dad was like "No, Whats wrong with you?"
My dad got so angry at him.
totally!
I have seen many not-normal people married!
And plenty normal people not married
I'm not normal and I'm married.
That attitude is pathetic! You are 100% right. People usually don't chose to stay single and it's very often not their fault at all. It's just a matter of waiting for the right time..
