Do you think that it's a "red flag" if a person isn't married by a certain age? (say, age 50?) Why / why not?

Red flag for what? No. I hate seeing people who aren't up for marriage forcing things along much more damning more than anything.

No. If they were aged 50 and had never had a relationship, maybe that would be a red flag, but not being married doesn’t mean anything particularly. Some people don’t feel the need to get married. It’s entirely up to them what they do.

No, I just don't think that way. Like why should I care if someone's married. Also marriage is dumb. =P

Only for women, if no man grants her the gift of holy matrimony then she is obviously a shrew SMH

It is a personal decision if someone wants to get married or not. I for example don't want that. No red or yellow or blue or whatever flag.

Nah, there's nothing maladjusted about just being unmarried. Marriage isn't (or shouldn't be) a duty or requirement for a person or a couple. And if someone does want to get married eventually, they shouldn't feel pressured to do before they reach a certain age. You can get braces when you're 50, and you can also be unmarried. It's OK.

No. Like college or having children, marriage isn't for everyone. It doesn't mean you failed at life or no one wanted you.

No, not at all. Why should a person marry at all? Social benefits? Tax reduction? Legal status of a parent? All valid, but what if you are happy without all that? Marriage is usually the opposite of the romantic attachment of two hearts. In the rare case it is, then it is clear why they did it. And when not, it is mostly for practical reasons. So either way..nothing to complain.
