Yeah, go play sports at 50 with your 10 yo kid.
Look, if you don't want to get married in your late 20s/early30s, fine.
Don't think you aren't going to look lke a grandpa with your 10yo at 50, assuming you have enough motility to get her pregnant.
I stuck my foot in my mouth over the weekend at my kids t-ball game. Asked some dude if he had a grandkid on the team when he corrected me and said he had a son

look for the trend to continue as men realize more and more that marriage is nothing but a sham
I am beyond the 20-34 demographic and twice married. First time, married at 23 and it just didn't work. Second marriage at 33 and it has been an awesome experience.
In my experience, I think the benefit for those of you that marry in your 30's is that you benefit from more wisdom gained over the years and better decision making. I certainly felt that way the second time around.
I don't think it is a matter of to marry or not marry. It is more important to marry the right person, regardless of when you marry.
Marriage in and if itself is not a sham. To run out and get married just because you feel it is deemed the thing to do by society is the real sham.

Nothing is a depreciating asset quite like a womans looks. One better make sure that they like the future wife for more than looks.

I would hope a man of "high value" would be smart enough to not marry a person just for looks. If not, they shouldn't complain when the wife leaves for half bc you obviously didn't care that they had nothing to offer besides their looks.
Y'all act like every single guy is brad Pitt or George clooney, most men end up just as ugly as the women that gets ugly.

I have been married for 23+ years (and married before 25). Love my wife and have two great kids.
But if I had not met her way back when, I can't say I would have ever gotten married and, God forbid, if my marriage ended tomorrow, I would never remarry.

Marriage can be awesome or it can be terrible.
While I have traditional values and think ultimately marriage/family is the way to go for most people I'm glad guys are starting to wait until they're ready or being able to acknowledge they may not ever be ready.
There's nothing wrong with the institution of marriage imo but people getting in a rush to do it made for a lot of wed couples who had no business making that kind of commitment when they did to the person they did, hence the sky high divorce rate.
I'd be interested to see a study done on how this might affect population growth in the future if the trend continues.

That's going to be me you're asking in ten years.
I finally got married in my 30's so this thread is about people like me.
My excuse: friends diving in to a marriage and promptly getting divorced with alimony and child support to pay, moving out of Louisiana and getting to know the big world, education, sex drugs and rock and roll. Not all necessarily in that order. I lived a great life up to this point.
The thought of me not having experienced all that I have so far depresses the shite out of me. Makes me appreciate "settling down" more.

There's not one correct answer for everybody,
frick you, there's no one correct answer!! I live my life a certain way and anyone who doesn't do the same (or at least acknowledge that my way is correct) is ignorant and/or immoral.

This will be the downfall of America. Look at what has happened to groups with large single mother populations.

I got married at 25. I'm 34 and divorced with two kids now. Of course my story is a little different. I'd still be married if my ex didn't decide to become a prescription pill addict.
I'd love to be married again one day, but it's hard to find a good woman these days. Also, dating in your early 30s is weird. You have females from 18 to in their 50s asking you out. I was picky when I was younger. Now, I'm super picky. I'd rather be alone than settle.

It ain't just an influx of Mexicans that is causing the demographic shift in the USA. Whites (especially educated, upper middle class ones) are having far fewer children (and waiting later to have them) than their brown and black counterparts.
