I'm so glad I quit smoking and started taking better care of my face in my 20. Helps with the aging some.

Grew up in suburbs of Houston. I'd say 80% of my friend group was married or engaged by 24/25. Seems like everybody these days grows up with the mindset that getting married is what you do once you finish college, no matter if the fit is right
I agree that 24/25 is on the young side, but something is off if most of the people you know are married at 22/23.
I grew up in NOLA, went to LSU, went to grad school at UGA and I can count on one hand the people I knew that were married within a year of undergrad. A small handful got married in grad school (24/25), another small handful married right after grad school (25/26), and the rest aren't married.

The average age for men to get married is currently 28 I believe.

I have a buddy that's 43. Never been married, doesn't want kids. He worksout, fishes, gets a wild hair up his arse and takes a 2 week vacation to Vegas or Cozumel by himself, drinks liquor. He lives in a condo in the Warehouse District in NOLA, slays strange tourist poon on the reg. He's had some long term relationships with some really hot women, however he travels for work and just can't keep his dick in his pants when he travels and always get caught some kind of way. I think he gets caught on purpose.

Do people ever feed you the "eventually all the good ones will be taken" line? Or do they not even bother because they know you have little to no interest in marriage?
I honestly don't understand the logic because I'm 29 and just went on a date with a 22-year-old. My friend is 34 and is probably about to marry a 22-year-old. We produce viable swimmers a lot longer than women can hold onto undamaged eggs.
The feminist movement started this waiting game, not realizing that men hold the biological advantage.

I'm 34 and have been on more dates with 22 year olds than 32 year olds in the last couple years.

Yeah I dated a girl 12 years younger and got pretty serious and I will say, no matter how mature she is there is no way to over come that age gap when they are that young. She just doesn't have the life experiences as you do and misunderstandings and jealousy will arise.

I tend to agree with you, actually. BUT, it's his decision. She is a very mature 22, but he still runs into juvenile mentality a lot. I only brought it up to show that women don't mind the age gap if you still look young, act young, and have a decent job.

This. I'm 29 and dated one a bit younger recently and the thing that kept holding my back was knowing that this girl just hasn't experienced life yet. Not that I have experienced a ton only being 29, but I have had my fair share of gut punches.

Hey you!
Yeah Linda is sweet as can be. Will always love her. Just sayin I'll never marry again. Being single and debt free is the bomb-diggity.

What would you say the sweet spot age range is? I like 24-26. They are out of the college mentality but are still fun and aren't yet terrified that their eggs are about to spoil or that they will never get married.

First marriage at 35 wife 8.5 years younger but i feel like i'm more her age than mine. 3 kids in 6.5 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.
No way in hell the 27 year old version of me was ready for any of what we've had to contend with. Marriage is very tough but awesome. I'm one lucky bastard to have found the woman i did. Best thing that ever happened to me until my kids came.
She makes things go for our family. Hope you find someone similar for yourself.
Like others have said, dont worry about it. Not that you do.. But as long as you're living your life the right way and being a decent human someone will come your way. If you never find that someone it may not have meant to be. Lot more marriable women than men out there so the odds are with you.

Mate, not to judge but it seems like you're doing a lot of convincing yourself in this thread.
Also, rocket will probably get married within 10 years and look back to his posts and think, "wow, I was a tool".

take it you haven't noticed Sanda Bullock is 52?
Lots of women, my wife included age like fine wines. Women don't peak in their 20's.
Not all women are rich Hollywood celebs with access to the best plastic surgeons and makeup artists and dermatologists
Also just because someone is attractive at 52 doesn't mean she is not past her prime. I guarantee you Sandra Bullock at 23 years old was hotter than she is now. Fine wine my arse
The fact is most women party too hard and slut it up in their 20s. So they are damaged goods by the time they get to their upper 20s and 30s. Why should I wife up a slut. I don't care if she has "changed" or is a "born again virgin". If she blew coke lines off of Chad and Raul's groin and fricked them in all positions in the past, why should I wife someone up like that, she gave her best to Chad and Raul but is now "changed" and doesn't do that anymore. Bull crap. She would do anything for an alpha who made her wet and tingly.
Wifing up a slut or former slut and party girl is like buying a rental car that dozens of people drove, for full price, and you are stuck with that car forever.
