No not strange at all, we are all different and the choices we make in life are our decisions entirely and if one chooses to be single, it does not mean they are strange, maybe responsible would be a better term as they may have chose a career first, settle down later.and also when you marry you would hope that it is a commitment for life.
NO THEY ARE SENSIBLE AND WISER. THOUGH, I THINK IT DEPENDS OF THE NATIONS , THEIR CULTURES (SOME PARTS OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA, I MEAN IN ONE OF THE COUNTRIES THERE, SUCH PERSONS ARE NOT ONLY STRANGE BUT ALSO NOT NORMAL. AND SOME OF THEIR RELATIVES,FRIENDS ETC. FIGURE THEIRSELVES AS A MATCMAKER. YOU CAN GUESS EASILLY, THAT THEY FIND COMICALLY,ILL-MATCHED ONE.)ESPECIALLY THERE ARE SOME THAT TAKE THAT STATUS OF THEMSELF AS A CONCEPTION OR AS A PHYLOSOPHY . AND, I DON’T THINK, WE ALL HAVE TO GO DOWN THE SAME ROUTE …….. BESIDES I AGREE ABOUT :IT'S BETTER TO BE ALONE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS THAN TO BE WITH SOMEONE FOR THE WRONG REASONS"- AS Thatguy0513 SAUD WITH HIS COMMENT. THERE ARE PEOPE WHO THINKS THAT TO “LIVE ALONE” DOESN’T MEAN TO “BE LONELY”,AS THEY FIND A LOT OF REASONABLE GROUNDS OR MOTIVES TO LIVE THOUGH ALONE, FINDING IT MORE FRUTHFULL THAN BEING WITH ANOTHER PERSON BEHIND.... AT LEAST I KNOW SUCH PERSON.
No, am 31 and its not strange.The older someone is, the better choices you can make...i hate the pressure that comes from friends and family....in the end its your life..and you know whats best for you
claudya: u are ,very nice,but u know most people judge others annd ask them why u never married until now,is forotherssomething sstange this for me is ok,iprefer be sngle until i find right man
i know how judging people get, just dont listen to those who always love to put people down.. You'll know it when it's right.. Some people find love early in their life, some people struggles through broken hearts and promises, just believe and keep looking :)

I would love to put (......... )down.... ... but nobody asked me ...
claudya: Is not about vanity is about to find things in common with a person,wellis true after a period u becomewiser and u want choose somethng good.
People (not one like you) are filled with so much foolishness and wrong ways. It is hard for a person (like you) to find one who is able to be the other half of a sound couple with a real future together.
They are full of vanities (not saying you are)
A man will buy a new knife while letting his wife do without money for fixing her teeth.
A woman will get her hair fixed instead of getting her little son a coat.
A father will buy a new set of speakers for his truck while his son need glasses to see in school.
A mother will buy a new braclet and let her daughter not see the doctor when she should.
This is only the tip of a mountain of stupid ways that people think nothing about being wrong. Then those who know find it hard to find someone with sense.

AMEN. I enjoy being single and independent. I am 50 years old and never married and with no kids. I am not lonely. I have numerous friends and I enjoy their company. I am not going to succumb to society's pressure and get married to someone just to please society. No, I don't find it strange at all being 30 and unmarried with no kids. 30 is young! With 50% divorce rate in North America, why do people there even bother? Why not just live together with someone you love? That to me is a committment not the marriage certificate you sign when you get married.
As was stated earlier different cultures consider not getting married by a certain age as a sign of strangeness. I spent two years in Azerbaijan, one being in the remote Naxcivan Autonomous Region, where not getting married by the age of 25 was a sure sign of weirdness. When I arrived in Naxcivan, I was met at the airport by a representative from the university where I would work for that year. After exchanging pleasantries, she asked, "Will your children be joining you?"
I responded, "No, because I do not have any children."
This woman suddenly had a shocked and concerned look on her face and she asked, "What does you wife think about that?"
I responded, "Uhhh...I do not know because I don't have a wife either."
The woman looked at me like I was the Great Satan himself or maybe like my head was on-fire --somewhere between shock and fear, and she asked, "How old are you?"
"38." (At that time.)
"What is wrong with you? Why have you never gotten married?"
"Just lucky, I guess."
I soon discovered in the backwoods of Azerbaijan, being single at my age made me a pariah to most of the citizens, but that was their world and I was merely a visitor.

you owe me a coffee mate, with the just lucky comment
...I got married at just over thirty simply because it seemed the most normal thing that should take place at that age.....I was wrong.....
...I was single from age 19 till 31, then again from 40 onwards....and would not consider being married again ever.....
...just as much as they are those who feel the best life is to be married and raise a family......there are also those who lead a very healthy and full life by staying single.....
From when I was very young I knew I would never want to get married and I would never want kids. I still think the same, stronger even!
It does not mean I have never been in a relationship, as i am in one right now. But I do not think that marriage will "Prove" that I love him or is a guaranty that I will stay with him forever.
We all plan our life the way we want to. Live and let live, that is the best way I think.

Happy to hear you feel good
But these single women I spoke about are 45 to 50 years old, too but still can't find this person with whom to live together... I wouldn't call single people living together.
Something very significant is missing in our life.
jokerlips: and submit to society's view and cleared off from being called 'weirdo'?? DEAL!!!!
I take marriage and parenthood very seriously which is why I have never felt it would be responsible for me to do either. I shouldn't commit unless I am prepared to accept the reponsibility that comes with it.
