If my post was so difficult that it flew over your head, there is no point in us carrying on this conversation. I just don't possess the ability to communicate with you in a manner that make sense to you. I'll even take the blame for it.

Make no such pledge. Follow through with your said intentions, those are more important. You'll know if and when it's time to get married. Not everyone is meant to be married and society really needs to absorb this.

Wow lol, didn't realize this would turn into a discussion. well i may have exagerrated some when I said the age thing, but I do know that I am not going to just rush and get married seeing as I am still young and I'm not really at the mature enough stage for marriage or imo.

and to the poster who suggested me to get my education, part, travel, etc. oh i will do that.

so many places i want to see and so many things i want to do.

I have to agree when you talk about women. With all the advantages women have, if they are constantly finding themselves with low quality men, it probably says a lot about either them or their mental health. Usually the advantages women have will allow them to at least be "in the game" with men who are relatively better looking and from a higher social class. However, this can be taken too far and in the end, such women will find that it was an illusion of success.

In contrast, most men don't have any advantages in dating. The tendency of women to aspire to someone better than themselves means that many high quality men are left out. I've seen a lot of this. Such men aren't setting their standards too high, they are just ensuring that they have some standards.

I think a such a "pledge" might be a bit much. However, it's very important that you have a "plan" for your life. You must know what you want before you can know if you found it.

That said, it's also important that you allow enough flexibility to allow happiness in your life. If you should meet "the one" before your target marriage-able age - don't be foolish enough to let happiness pass you by!!

Also important not to allow time to pass you by. It happens! If you want to be married at 35-40 you will need to begin "serious only" dating around 30-31. Yes, that will mean no casual dating, hanging out, etc. It will mean you will need to "get serious" to get what you want.
Best wishes!

The point, as I'm understanding it, is that people that spend their time whining, complaining, ranting, negatively obsessing, etc (e.g., the author of that blog, who you noted in your response) about the opposite sex often do not grasp the role they play in their failed relationships/interactions with the opposite gender.

You asking 'what does this have to do with anything?' is the nonsensical portion of the exchange since her post has everything to do with pretty much every thread in this forum.

I don't understand the point of making such a pledge.
