"Bachelors, in the sense of unmarried men, have in many countries been subjected to penal laws. At Sparta, citizens who remained unmarried after a certain age suffered various penalties. They were not allowed to witness the gymnastic exercises of the maidens; and during winter they were compelled to march naked round the market-place, singing a song composed against themselves and expressing the justice of their punishment. The usual respect of the young to the old was not paid to bachelors.

In some cultures, the "punishment" of bachelors is no more than a teasing game. In small towns in Germany, for example, men who were still unmarried on their 30th birthday were made to sweep the stairs of the town hall until kissed by a virgin. This "punishment" is still practiced today in parts of Northern Germany."

Based on this I'd guess 30 would be the statistical age of no return.

From my personal experience in the Skydiving world you're a bachelor until 50.
After that, you're just a dirty old man.

I know it's the answer to everything, but in this case I think it may be true - by then why would you want to have to learn to live with someone else when you can clearly do fine on your own? Plus, from a feminine perspective, I've heard lots of women in that age range say they wouldn't want a guy who hasn't been married because they wonder what's wrong with him. [:/]
Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
