So many rich guys in their 40's are not married. In their case, money's not the problem. Most people would argue that the only thing keeping them from getting married was thier bereftness of a sustainable means of livelihood.
What other reason(s) could be responsible for such a dally?
Why should a 40+year old man still be single, when he's not a Rev. Father?

Some form of gynophobia and/or misogyny, or simply they haven’t found someone they want to get married to. Some of them have kids and they’re fine with that arrangement though

So many reasons:

Finance
Right partner
Etc


But the most important of it all is that getting married before or on that age may not be his/her priority

Let me take it that your reason is simply that, everybody mustn't get married" There must be a reason, and this is one.

Do your findings. Some are separated (divorced), baby daddies, engaged, on in a relationship.

Some of them have more kids, have more sex, and spend more on women/kids than married men.

So I don't see any issue. They're technically married.

Lol. If you know the kind breakfast they serve some of these guys ehn, you will know the battle is not for the weak. All these 200L girls dey show them shege o.

Forget what you read online, all these small girls with tiny handbags don’t really like to marry way older guys as such. Except she is from a very disadvantaged family. If they date you, they will be hiding you from their friends and chopping your money. Time for commitment, they will disembark. That is why at a point, the tune of 36+ men would change. They will na tell you they can’t date below 28yrs.

Some have also gotten very comfortable with being single. Small thing body go dey scratch them. You must be very strong and patient to hold them down.

Some don’t want to marry. Even if they will, they will take their time, no pressure.

Some might have been married or had arrangements with semblance to marriage.

Some have had their fair share of relationships that ended for reasons beyond their control. No energy to chyke woman again sef.

Last last, except someone clearly says he/she is bothered by their marital status, I dey like mind my business.

Gay or bisexual. Or just not interested in marriage. You should ask these questions directly to avoid any time wasting.

How do you not see any issues? I thought sex was only honorable within a marriage? Or is it an instruction only reserved for women?

Lol. Coco the women defender.

The rule applies to both men and women. I was only trying to say that many 40-year-old single men do what married men do. So the "relationship" status of a single man at 40 should not be mistaken for celibacy, lack of responsibilities, or poverty.

You said you saw no issues.

I’m Just trying to make sure you keep the same energy of seeing no issues when we are talking about unmarried women having indiscriminate sex and having kids with men who aren’t their husbands kiss

Of course, I know what you're trying to do. I'm not in support of indiscriminate sex though.
