Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

Hi

Would you consider a guy who is 34 or 35 years old or off putting for marriage, especially amongst Pakistanis in the UK or USA etc?

Also having children at 35, 36 or 37 would that be old so the man will be considered an old father and mistaken for a grandfather in the future?

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

Mid thirties would be kind of old and not really. It depends on WHO is looking to marry. If the girl is in her late 20's then definitely the guy isn't too old. If the girl was in her early twenties then perhaps she might feel he is too old. lol You see how perspective could change?

In regards to the children, nah, a lot of people are getting married late now a days and have children late too. I think having children in your 40's is old.. thirties is still the norm....but that's just me.

NOT AT ALL old............. NO NO NO NO NO

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

If the girl is 21 then yes. If the girl is 27 then no.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

I would think any guy marrying b4 their 30's is prematurish! But oh well whatever works for people.

So yah def not old in my opinion. But that doesn't mean he should feel like he is entitled to a 20 year old bride. That'd be super odd!

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

I'm 29, my ideal age to get married is 35 - preferably to a woman who is at most 3 years younger then me (ideally a year or so younger would be awesome). What I don't want is someone greater then 3 years younger then me - that's some crazy shyte right there.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

My dad was 37 when I was born, and no one would ever mistake him for my grandfather, not then not now. 35 is nothing

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

35 is not old at all.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

35 years old wanting to marry 18 or 19 or early 20s..just..doesn't sit with me. But no it's not old if someone wants to get married. That is..if you're seemingly closer age.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

My dad was around 35 when my Mum had me and he doesn't look like my grandad lol

I like that they waited.. My brother married at 26ish (now divorced) but most of the guys we know nowadays don't marry till they've hit 30 and a couple of years after that is not considered a huge deal.. usually there isn't much of an age gap either..

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

no age is too old.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

It depends on the people concerned.
If we start worrying about what people/society will think, we'll never be able to live our life.

So say the veteran member.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

35 is not old at all, who said its considered old?

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

In my family 35 is old. Its actually a phrase that goes around in my family that after 30 you become an 'uncle' and you should t be hitched by then. Most of the guys in our family were married by late 20s. But there are always exceptions, some married as late as 40. Girls usually get married by 27 or so

But in grand scheme of things. 35 is not old. But its not young either.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

Its not old - people get married at 35 all the time.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

My dad had my youngest sibling at 42... so yeah age doesn't really matter when having kids.

But although he's now 47, he looks 33ish and gets mistaken for being my brother a lot :/

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

Personally I think a man should marry before 30, but I won't consider 35 to be 'old for marriage'.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

ask the same question to an unmarried man who is 45 years old and believe me he would say, no, you still got 10 years.

Re: Is 35 considered old for a man to marry?

We should not stop living our life the way we want just out of fear of random people. There will always be someone who'll be upset at what you did.
