I’ve recently seen a few posts on social media from females who I know, who are 40s or in their early 40s and are single. Clearly pointing out why they are single.

I am a 40 year old single woman who has never been given the opportunity to be able to have kids when I have been in relationships. Women are not defined by how many kids we can squeeze out, or that we have a so called perfect happy family life.

We are defined by who we are as people, and what we succeed at in life. Even career wise.

Unfortunately, some of us females have never had the chance to settle down, due to guys lying to you whilst in a relationship! They can’t keep it in their pants or wanting a quickie & that’s it!

Unfortunately dating has changed so much with the digital age and due to internet dating, this has made it easier for men to cheat on their other half’s, so you never know if they are truly single or not, or what their true intentions are. I had many guys say oh yes I want a relationship but within 8-12 weeks, they turn around and say the old cliche quote of sorry I just want 1 thing or I don’t know what I want. Which actually means, sorry I just wanted a shag, or sorry I’m no longer interested.

It is proving harder and harder to meet guys and dating becomes a game, which most of us at 40 do not want. We just want to meet a nice guy, who can keep his hands to himself and treat us like a princess!

Some may want to stay single, due to the fact dating is more like a cattle market, others like me do hold out a thin line of hope, even though I have no idea how I will meet my Prince Charming when it’s so hard as you get older. Fewer social activities, don’t get asked out by friends, means less interaction with others, no one tries setting you up with their single male friends anymore.

I know I’m no longer interested in a quickie that is meaningless but instead I want commitment, which guys do not seem to want!

These are a few of the factors why a woman in her 40s is single & childless. Next time before asking why you haven’t got married yet or why no children. Have a think about why with the reasons above and instead ask them something with more meaning and far more interesting for them!

Some people are lucky to find their true love young in life, whilst others may not get that chance to experience that ever……
