I get it, but I don't buy it. It's still sad. Certain goals unaccomplished are just sad to me after a decade has past.

I've been dating since 19 (8 years) and i would be lying if I said I have never dated someone who was marriage material. I would say in those 8 years there is definitely 1 boyfriend that I could have had a healthy, normal marriage with. I wasn't in love with him and had no physical attraction to him whatsoever. I'll tell you in a few years if I regret my decision...
Anyway, its human to make mistakes and mess up relationships. I know maybe two people who married their 1st or 2nd boyfriend. Most people date several men, make mistakes, waste time in ending relationships that obviously won't work, get their heart broken, etc. I don't think that makes you a failure unless you never learn your lesson from it.
There are a ton of factors (some being out of your control) that can lead you to be over 30 an unmarried. I don't know if I would make a character assessment based on the age a woman marries. People who marry in their twenties don't necessarily have it all figured out either, since that is the median marrying age and based on statistics about half of them don't stay married.

Hmm, not sure. I don't think I want kids (doubtful I can have them anyway) and I've never really been fussed with relationships. Eh...maybe I'll panic at 35.

Black men end up staying with a nigguh that ain't never gone marry their asses. We see this more often.

i don't think thats true. a lot of women have very realistic standards.
they just ... have bad decision making and judgement.

Let me be clear. I am not talking about ALL women. I am talking about a population of women. those that want to be married early, early twenties or so....will panic around 27-29 and are like 30+...lets just say 35ish AND STILL UNWED. It's sad that you thought about wedding bells since childhood/teens, became an adult and it never happened. You've been wanting it to happen but it just. never. did. Sad...AF. Just like someone who is fat, and dieting for 10 plus years and never has lost weight. Just like someone who has bad credit/finances and after 10+ years is still broke after trying...for all that time. Someone is going about reaching their destination in the wrong way. It's like watching a dementia patient trying to find his/her way home.

And I know there are many other factors...because there are millions of ways/combinations to fail.
& no...the person who just married anybody isnt better, just like the person who starved themselves isn't any better, nor is the person who robbed the poor...
but that is a different conversation, and just puts the light else where...which might be the reason why it's taking some people 10+ years
