Um.......any reason in particular for #4? I ask because A. I'm just 5.5 years away from that milestone & B. I'm on an educational & career path where I shall not be particularly stable until I'm in my 30's. So your message has been quite worrying.
Counter point, would be to wait until 28 to 30 to even begin to form a relationship with long haul potential.
There's a final stage of development, that doesn't complete until about 27... 28 to 30 one really notices how much they've matured and evolved vs. young adulthood.
Lots of young marrieds don't make it past that stage, being for perfectly natural and normal reasons. They've grown apart. By 28 to 30, a person is pretty much who they're at core going to be for the rest of their life.
I know that is the case for males, being one...having read about it and experienced it. For women? I don't know they might finish sooner.
On the relationship front...I wish I had been quicker to understand when someone "rejected" me that it wasn't because there was anything "wrong" with me.
When mutual chemistry doesn't exist it's nobody's fault and doesn't mean you've done anything wrong.
I don't think Knight2009 is trying to be a downer. From his previous posts, I gathered he gave his life to academics to the detriment of his social life and that is something he regrets. I can understand that. I did the same, although at the time, it was the sacrifice I needed to make. Sometimes you can't do it all at the same time.
I also know that he has expressed that he wished he found a girl/wife when he was younger because now it's a lot difficult. This seems to be something that is very important to him. I can also understand that.
As for the rest about life being serious and rejection being sometimes personal, that is actually true

Reason: Clarity
The most important thing I wish I knew in my 20's was this:
My parents were right when they said to me a million times, "time flies and it flies even faster the older you get."
For all of you in your 20's, you will be shocked at how quickly 40 comes. And then you won't think 40 is old at all. But you won't believe it until you experience it yourself.

I'm currently 24 years old, heterosexual male, never been in a relationship.
I was wondering....what do you wish you knew when you were in your 20's & what would you tell someone in their 20's, like me?
I welcome answers from both males & females. Thanks in advance!
After two marriages (and 30+ years), if I had known (in my twenties) what I know today, I'd still be single, and very likely not in any relationship. I don't have to be married to take a woman out to dinner and spend our time just talking or walking on a beach at sunset. I can do that if I'm single, too.
im still in my 20's but you should know as all men our age range should know that you're sharing any woman you're with.
LOLOLOLOL, WHY do you always say this??
It's so nuts I have no choice but to laugh.
Are you really trying to say that ALL women cheat? Or is this just a joke?
