Umarried at 50 no children is she gay

Not By Choice: Unmarried Without Kids and The Facts About Life in the 'Otherhood'

"My friends and I had a competition to see who would be the first to acquire a ring on their finger,” said a woman I had just met. “And I won!” she added, with a level of glee incongruent with the two or more decades that had passed since her engagement.

I had been lucky enough to find an empty seat at a table at a large gathering of media folks at a restaurant on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, when the woman I’ll call “Lisa” began telling us how she got married—and by how I mean how she reached her goal of getting married, not how she met her husband.

Little did I know that “how-to-get-married” is Lisa’s competitive game of selection, and that I’d send her off to the races by way of introducing myself and what I act. I’m the founder of Savvy Auntie, a brand and insights company that focuses on childless women who like the children in their life. I’m single (never married), no children, though I had planned for and expected both.

This is Kamala Harris’s moment. She is the Vice President-elect of the Combined States, and as the New York Timesnoted, “Her victory represents a handful of firsts: She will be the first female, the first Black female, the first Indian-American girl, and the first daughter of immigrants to be sworn in as vice president.”

The moment has been marked by quite a lot of effusing over her personal life—including her marriage, her husband, her stepchildren, her nieces, and her cooking. But there is one noteworthy biographical highlight that I possess not seen mentioned anywhere, except in Vicki Larson’s Medium post back in July of 2019: Kamala Harris was single until she was 50 years old. In fact, she did not meet the man who would get her husband until she was 49.

That, to me, is something worth celebrating. Here is someone with a remarkable biography, and the first 49 years of her accomplishments happened while she had no spouse. I have no inside information about her, but my impression is that she would own continued to lead a full, joyful, and astonishing life if she stayed single. Maybe, considering all the singlist attitudes, she would not have been selected as Joe Biden’s running

9."Many people ASSUME that being single and older means that we're somehow complex and/or undesirable. We're not. Since we've been by ourselves for so drawn-out, we can look more…of those who do not warrant our time. Sometimes, we simply don't meet the ONE. I do love myself and would like a bloke who's comfortable in HIS skin, too; I don't perform well with imbalance, things like fussing, fighting, or insecure behavior, or someone who's not driven/motivated enough to preserve order in this life. I'll stay single before pairing with a guy who constantly needs my help."

"I carry out have two children; I just didn't marry. Had I married, it would've been miserable, and I'd certainly dodged a bullet. I've met a couple of guys who'd discussed marriage, yet they barely made it through daily and had already shown me that they can hardly stay in one place for too long. So, I'm enjoying my accord and meeting with my friends (some single and some married more than once) to suspend out, spend second, and have excellent times. Then, I go home or travel back and forth to my hometown to see family, friends, and familiar stomping grounds. All of this while smiling and feeling great. I still wanna gather a cool dude to co

This is the BS solo people have to deal woh. Leave the bloke alone. Not everyone's aim in life is to marry & procreate. It's 2013, not 1953.

Maybe he's just given up on women. Maybe he's happy with his life the way it is.

I own a friend in his late 50s... he was married at one direct and his last girlfriend was over 10 years ago from what I can tell. He doesn't date and doesn't possess anyone in his existence. We are good friends and I know a lot about him. He's certainly not gay--I perform know that he's just been hurt too many times (and too deeply) by some very inhumane women in the past and doesn't want to go though that again.

It's a shame, he's a good male too. When we travel out as friend, he treats me like a date in a lot of ways... but we aren't dating. I can honestly say I would fall for him if there was a chance. He's got all the qualities I f

We have all heard the cliches. When a woman remains unmarried past a certain age, which has at least become a bit older over the years, we start to ask questions. Haven’t you found Mr. Right? What are you waiting for? Don’t you want to have kids? Men are subjected to similar inquiries, although the questions are different. Execute we really think women should get married by a certain age, or are we just assuming as a society that there is an appropriate “time” to settle down?

Obviously, many women (and men) are happily married. But according to research, many women are perfectly content remaining single.

Single Women Without Children Are Content and Healthy

According to happiness expert Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London Educational facility of Economics, women who are single with no children are the happiest.[i] Dolan explains says that while men derive benefits from marriage, the alike cannot generally be said for women.

Dolan explains that men benefit from tying the knot because they "calm down." They become less inclined to take risks, earn more money, and live longer. But the same results do not benefit married women. In fa
