There is no such thing as late for men
Re: Is Getting Married At 35 Late For Men? by Wisebisho: 8:28am On Aug 09, 2017
Yes its late, your mate's children by then should be 5 years old or even 6.
Its never a competition, I have seen people that married 10-15yrs after there mates, but their children's grow up to be more successful that does that started very early...
If a man grow finish, he go wait for his fellow men.

You don't get it, I talk about planning for marriage, not marriage.
Guys who starts getting serious about marriage at 35+ usually ends
up with girls they wouldn't have married while younger because many
have lost the privilege of being choosy due to the fear of the unknown,
this isn't about the age of the girls involved, it is about the girls personality.

Unless you plan never to marry, it is not in your best interest to wait
till 35 to choose your life partner.
Even in life, those who wait till deadline to act usually ends up with below
average results.

It is poor logic to tag my post as a Nigerian thinking, in fact, such thinking
can be found with men who planned their lives in any country. You sound
so condescending.

What do you mean by girls that can never talk to you ?
well,you talk like a woman sir and I'm not sure a woman is not behind this handle,a man can't fear for any unknown,which unknown? I just don't get it,a real man is supposed to be courageous. most successful men are 35+ and so they are more choosy because they're successful and don't get insulted at any instance like guys in their 20's by girls. many guys that are 35+ are already made,George Clooney wouldn't have had the chance to date a powerful beautiful and successful lawyer like Amal in his 20's when he was still struggling,same goes for Brad Pitt,Jay z,Salman Khan,etc. those are the guys you and I know,so they're the right examples . most guys in their 20's are only choosy with broke and ugly girls but successful guys are only choosy with most successful ,beautiful girls,Diddy can never have a chance to date a successful beauty like Casey in his 20's when he was still struggling. maybe you're talking about a broke 35+ year old guy o but no broke guy has a choice pls,same goes with broke guys in their 20's.

PEOple just talk about planning future as if they own their life, should i tell you that there are people who are also well educated and has been planning to be a better person b4 considering marriage and yet still struggling to make it(be financially buoyant@ 35-45)...Not all poor people are lazy or does not dream of a buoyant life at a particular age, but what if it does not come as planned? Does that mean u r not hardworking?,,,,life is luck, Successfulness is not about how old( ur age) you are or how much effort you put most times, but whom you r destined to be. they r people who are as hardworking as Dangote, Mike Adenuga, better players than Mikel Obi or 2face and have been putting effort to be a successful person.. 35 is very OK, but for the younger ones who r ready..... Marry when you think you r ready, manage the resources you have, don't wait till u r rich like some people say,don't compare your life to davido, dbanj, don jazy or even Bankywhite not to talk of those foreigners work harder for a better future as acquiring wealth is a gradual process.

It is pretty lame to argue from exceptions, most 35+ men aren't billionaires or millionaires, they are just okay.

The Op asked a simple question: "Is getting married at 35+ late for men", and you changed it to:
"Is it too late for successful rich men to get married at 35", this isn't even a question, because a rich man
can get married at the age of 70 if he likes.

Since you couldn't understand the basic assumption behind the question, all your argument are null and are irrelevant
to this post.

sadI think this is a foolish question after all because is like the op is trying to compete with some people. I think dis question suppose to be answer by the op himself if he is really ready...anything said here is fallacy.face reality.

I LOVE YOU FOR WRITING THESE. No matter the pressure, u need to be ready mentally, spiritually, emotionally etc. those who pressurize you won't be the ones to live with you and your spouse. No age is too late. Just like in education, i know someone whom her parents made her jump either two or three classes just to be in secondary schl. She graduated from secondary schl at age 13 but struggled to secure admission into the higer institution. Unfortunately for her, she dint get into schl till after 6years. Who knows! Maybe God was protecting her from something. Long story short, We all have our time and God's time is the best. We only need God's guidance.
You re so right dear, We all ve our time

It is good to do it earlier, say between 25 and 30 but the realities of our situations may portend otherwise.
We have all manner of excuses (real, imagined and fake) to delay marriage but those issues may still be there when and after you eventually get married. I would say too late is not too good but whenever you get married and its blessed by God is your time.

This is trite talk being peddled around but doesn't apply to real life.
"Happiness" has been overused that it has become meaningless.

Please note that different things make different people happy.

The question will have being,
Can a lady marry 35 years old man
Re: Is Getting Married At 35 Late For Men? by Nobody: 9:45am On Aug 09, 2017
habayinc:
yes it is ... marry early and grow with your children ..marrying at 35 is just nonsense looking at this generation life span
You marry at 35 yrs .yiur first child will be 20yrs when you are 56 years old and you want to eat the fruit of your Labour...its only water yu will drink o

My friend,anybody who looks up to his children for help in the future I call that person a failure...Cos for me I have already built houses(both for myself and for tenants) including lots of investment in Treasury bills and bonds etc,which gives me a secure future..So my friend secure your future!! And don't look up to ur children during old age(just give them the very best n secure there future).

I sincerely need to know our views about getting married at the age of 35 for men. Is it late to marry at 35?

it depends on the stage of the man's life, where he is religious/financial/Health status, nobody wants to get married and start regretting.

Many factors come in to play and for those that think it's too old, ask yourself when you got married if you are being honest lots of things were in place or fell in to place.

One needs to secure one's future before marriage.

IMO Opinion 35 Is Late.@ All Things Being Equal 30 Ought To Be D Approprate Age, @ 30 U Are Neither Too Old, Nor Too Young To Get Married.But, It Is Very Pathetic In Nigeria, Adults @ 30 Are Still Be Spoon Fed By Their Parents.
Re: Is Getting Married At 35 Late For Men? by Wegowide(m): 10:47am On Aug 09, 2017
I wouldn't say it's late but I would rather marry at 30. It's advisable to marry when you are mentally matured and financially stable. By financially stable I don't mean money should be falling from your pockets but you should be able to procure the basic needs of your family

you can be 35 at still not ready mentally
its not a competition .but their are some factors to be change checked
1.Mentaly stable (known that married is beyond sex and making babies)
2.spiritualy stable(be a Good Christian,Moslem, pegan or a Jews.)
3.Financially stable.( once u can provide daily meal for more than 2 persons in 25days.
