It depends for the reasons some posters have stated. People usually tell you who they are if you listen and you can hear the voice of a player/selfish/socially inept guy vs. one who just hasn't met the right person.
No side eye to a guy who doesn't have kids. That's a plus.
I knew some1 who always brought up that her SO's status as a never married was a big negative in her book. She had married against the advice of her church family and her family & it turned out to be a disaster - husband was lower than a turnip, had a child with another woman & left her to marry the other woman & a lot of other nasty stuff that had them in court for years. I always wondered but never asked if she gave herself a positive check mark for having been married even though it was such a trainwreck . . . or would her ex-husband get points for having been married even though he was a terrible husband.
