Is she right that it's better to have a partner?

A dear friend and co-worker of mine for several years has married someone so ugly and old looking. I don’t like to put down someone’s looks but he doesn’t have much of a personality either. He is somewhat friendly but also whines a lot. She said no one asked her in a long time to get married. She’s been divorced many years. She said people will look at her funny and think something is wrong with her if she stays single too long. HUH?? Even today?? Does anyone on here honestly believe that it looks better to have a spouse than to have no one? Wouldn’t anyone think “Is that all she could get”? Or would some people think “at least she was able to get someone”? I know this sounds nuts but it doesn’t even sound to me like she loves this guy. He is gross and she is attractive. But she thinks she would look “strange” if she stayed single. I think this is crazy. And though he’s old, he’s not rich. I could understand if he were. Or am I being shallow? . I’m not really a shallow person. Anyone’s thoughts?
