I think its time us ATOT members brutally jump these co-workers of his in the parking lot, who's with me.
Do I have to get out of my chair?

That's what I told Tiger....sheesh.This sums it up. Afraid to commit yourself to that special person. Why even bother to get married?
I went through that phase myself, not just coworkers but with my family too. My mom and sister were always trying to set me up. My dad too, but then he'd also often jokingly say "don't get married!". Thankfully, it passed. I'm just not interested in marriage, I'm not going to force myself to do it just to be conventional. I mean, I think about it sometimes, and it would be kinda nice to start a family, but at same time, I don't really want the responsibility and the hectic life that comes with it. I like my own space and time, and getting home and having the house to me is worth a lot.
Though it sounds like they are taking it way too far. It was not as bad for me. Now that I'm in my 30's I think people have finally accepted I'm happy single.
I also kinda feel obligated to get married/have kids just to pass on my genes and family name though... but I'm not going to do it just for that reason.
Tell them to mind their own damned business. If you have a good working relationship, there should be no issues with this. They're people, not daffodils.I'm not sure what to do here. I work with a small group, mostly foreigners. One guy is my dad's age, the other two are about 3-4 years older than me, one of whom is my manager.
My manager is a FOB (got an arranged marriage from some girl in a village when he was 30), slightly older coworker from another country married his GF of 8 years, and my much older coworker from another country married his HS girl. These guys are completely oblivious to reality (think "blue pill") if you know what I mean. I prefer to sleep around.
My manager, for the past 3-4 years now has been pestering me in front of coworkers asking when I'll get married, joking that I"ll come back from vacation with a ring, telling me to get an arranged marriage, etc. Now my coworkers have been doing the same thing.
I work remotely and out of nowhere during a conference call today, one of my coworkers asks me when I'm getting engaged and then the older coworker goes off on a tangent for like 5 minutes. I ended the call saying I don't want to discuss my marriage, I have to use the restroom, let me call you back. When I call back, he keeps talking about the marriage. WTF?
Until now I have brushed it off, laughed it off, tried to divert the subject, etc, but these idiots don't get the hint. I have told them I won't be getting married anytime soon but they keep asking.
At this point, and even in the past, it has really pissed me off outside of work and destroyed my mood because I tend to have a lot of time alone to think about things. This is basically harassment, and is against the law.
We have a good working relationship and I don't want to ruin that; however, this is making my blood boil. And this is coming from a guy who is very calm, and even meditates. What do I do?
It's gotten to the point where when a client who I work for visited our corporate office, my manager, when saying goodbye, followed him out the door telling him that I needed to get married during my vacation overseas. Could not believe what I was hearing.
So either grow a pair or try a transitional gender.
I'm one of those guys that got way better looking and masculine with age.. still have my hair, top tier physique, good fashion sense, $, etc.. very dominant.
lucky! i've gotten worse in every aspect in the last 10 years, except for $.
Do I have to get out of my chair?
You'll always have your pomes though
