OP, didn't you just have a thread on this same topic recently? Or was it one of the other mid-20-somethings around here?

Why would anyone get married by 25, unless they're from a conservative community where that's expected and people get pressured to do that?

But just to clarify, OP, is "pretty" your only criterion? You don't mind "pretty, but crazy", "pretty, but chronically depressed", "pretty, but way smarter than you", "pretty, but spoiled", "pretty, but high maintenance" or "pretty, but too shy", or "pretty, but her daddy packs heat"? If you're ok with that, go out and have yourself a blast.

My wife was 19 when we got married. That's right, I sealed that deal before any of these betas running around here had a shot!

Yup, I don't blame you. You, young lady, have a 7 year clock ticking!

I don't think I knew a single person that was married before 25.
A lot are engaged or pretty much "set" with another though.

My solution would be just to date women in their early 20s but this becomes more difficult once you're 35+.

Ahhh, no. Not even close. They just finished undergrad. Lots were just starting their careers and planning grad school. The first person I knew that got married was at 28 and we all thought she was crazy for getting married so young (it did work for her). Far more marriages post 35 after school is done and careers established.

And at 35 I can't imagine wanting to date a 23-25 year old. Completely different place in life and we'd probably having nothing in common. Heck, dating someone even 5 years younger can be challenging.

What if you're inexperienced for your age and want someone who's on your level? I'm 25 myself, never had a girlfriend and I feel like most women my age have far more experience than me. Some of them even have children and past marriages. This is why I would rather date 20-22 year old women than exactly my age or older.

Its not about level of experience, it is about where I am in life and cultural connections, that is what I'm speaking about.

But 2-3 years is nothing.

I am the same except I am 37. I would want someone more sexually experienced than most women, so she can teach me stuff. Teach me things like how to give a woman an orgasm. I especially want someone who is experienced with stuff like BDSM etc.
