I'm right there behind you at 39 years old and single.
I regret not looking for a partner when I was in my 20s. For various reasons (my own fault), I didn't really understand or appreciate how fulfilling it is to have an deep relationship with another human being or how rewarding it can be to have a wife and kids of your own. I've been living a selfish, self-centered life but now that I'm financially and professional successful, I'm beginning to realize what I'm missing.
In order to start a family at this age, practically speaking I'd need to find a partner in their late 20's or early 30's at their oldest, meaning a ~10-15 year age gap. Additionally, I would want to find a traditional Christian woman, most of who usually marry young (which is good advice for young women).
It's just so much more complicated to try to start a family at this age. My advice for young people, particularly young Christians, is to find someone you love and marry young. There are many reasons for this beyond the reasons I've listed above.
I just haven't had much luck, but I keep myself in good shape and my older brother is an inspiration. He had his first son at age 45 and is now 53. He keeps himself in great shape and looks like he is in his early 30s. But you are right. A lot of those women marry young.
