Okay this question might be little personal..

In my country ..I would rarely see any one over the age of 35 single ..take 40 either their partner would be dead or they would be married ..but here in sw I see so many men and women single over age of 50 -55? How come ?

I see you are starting up the young sods with their derogatory comments.
Suffice it to say that India’s culture is different. I also understand there are a lot of Indian males that never marry a woman and are incredibly aggressive on SW. They treat the women very contemptibly here.

@Pfuzylogic so sod is an unpleasant person ..umm yeah ..what I am trying to say ..is actually this that in east marriage system is so rigid..there is physical mental abuse but the wife cant divorce the husband ..the society wont allow her ..while in west ..there is so many failed marriages ..that it seems that true love is a thing that dont exist or true love dont last

@Shiulikephool
That is a different take that is a bit more pleasantly phrased. I thank you for that.

@Shiulikephool wow interesting insight thanks for sharing

because the values are different from your country. Divorce rates are very high and divorce is expensive. Women are becoming more and more independent and invested in themselves. It becomes more normal to not need to be in a relationship for your self identity. why is it people feel they need to get married in your country? I'm curious? is it religious or monetary?
Shiulikephool · 22-25, F
@DeluxedEdition actually both ..its like marriage is compulsory..and parents permission to the marriage is compulsory..the society,family interferes a lot in the marriage of two individuals ..although things are rapidly changing by more women becoming financially independent .

Values are different all around the world. Many, not all, choose not to recognize it in the US. Or believe their values are better than the rest of the world.

In German there's a specific word that can be interpreted different ways... Weltanschauung...World outlook, worldview, fundamental cognitive orientation, or personal philosophy of human life, and so on.

This terminology few US born citizens can understand so when it comes to marriage they disregard the rest of the world. Their Weltanschauung is limited and confined to only what they wish to know, namely only their little corner of the world.

FYI I have never been married, and not by choice. 😔

My Weltanschauung is just far to different for most. I am far more inclusive rather than exclusive. Most women here, in a "so called" freedom of choice country, can't handle that Weltanschauung.

@MasterofNone yeah india is an extremely dark place due to its hypocrisy..

@DeluxedEdition She was having an affair with a guy at work. Eventually that fell apart and she said she just needed to get away from us, her family and everything. She was on antipsychotic medications but she was still having problems.
Marriage does not define people in this society in your country you’re still somewhat traditional. I’m 34 and single and while it’s much more common here in the UK and accepted, most people at my age seem to be married or about to be married or are in long relationships with their partner and have kids. By the time they’re 50 or older they could be divorced or with someone else or turns out they’re homosexual but never wanted to realise it or hid it for 50 years.

I suspect your country has a different view on marriage and what constitutes family values.
Shiulikephool · 22-25, F
@Picklebobble2 well yeah it has ..I think both west and east has to make major changes to their views on marriages
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@Shiulikephool or people can decide for themselves what it is they want to do

That's why India is overpopulated. Being married and having children is an insurance. Women is still more like domestic slave
SW-User
some like to be alone and some divorce every year but is it any surprise why these creepy oldies who perv on minors never got married?
SW-User
Some people have no respect for love, trust and commitment. They rather have sex like hyenas.
MasterofNone · 26-30, M
@SW-User hyenas are awesome
Cuz they aren't married.

Either through death of spouse, divorce, or never married.
