2:3 of my friends are married, my brother's married, and hell if they aren't married, they're in talks of being married. So people are asking me when I am going to marry, including a girl from my past.
But thing is, I don't even want to consider marriage right now, or if ever
I enjoy my freedom right now(no offense to anyone married) and I got tons to do(like finish school, pursue a career, and get myself settled somewhere) and well marriage is just not something I am in the boat for.
Guess I had to get that out the way.
If you are a male, yes you can wait. If you are a female, hell no.
never get married but if you must, get your life together first, at 35-40 you can still get a young hot 20 something woman, preferably under 25
its smarter for young woman to go with a much older established man, thats how bascially all cultures operate. Dont let the feminist nonsense and bs projection that they have affect your thinking
It could happen, but he shouldn't count on it. I'm in my 20s and have never been into older men. Not every younger woman is after money and physical attraction counts. So, I hope he'll still consider women in the 35-40 range when he reaches that age.
No, she speaks the truth. A 40 year old man typically needs to be very handsome or financially sound to land a hot 25 year old. If you aren't all that, you'll end up screaming on the Internet about how you are going to go to China or Russia to find a woman.
Men, women, it seems most of us are delusional about what we can pull.
It wasn't sarcastic. If a woman wants to get married and start a family, statistically speaking, 40 is too late. For a man, it isn't. If you don't want to have children, waiting until 35-40 is fine for either sex (but the eligibility pool is shrinking for women at that point, though it's peaking for quality men.

I agree, 40 is too late (for most at least) if kids are wanted. But, 30's are reasonable and the OP is 23. Most 23 yr old's would benefit from waiting, regardless of gender. I also don't buy that the eligibility pool is peaking for men as they age. According to the US census, the average age difference among married couples is 2-3 years, IIRC. The 40+ yr old men are not marrying spring chickens.
Seriously, no I am not gay. Just that most of the girls I've pursued weren't worth the time.
And I never said I won't have any gfs before then. Just that past experiences have taught me that I need to be careful on who I want to marry in the future.
But I think I was a bit extreme with how I made this topic lol.
Good grief you are only 23!! Do you know how much living you have to do between 23 and 35?? Why are you even thinking about this? Why are you on a board posting such? Get your ass out there and live your life, have fun, party, travel, study, get your education, job, etc.
You have the rest of your life to get married.........go do something productive like clean your room before you go to the club tonight!

thats you, ( and I dont buy it) but anyways..... men's options expand as they grow and mature. all women want money some are more upfront about it. its not PC but its the truth
she can fall for a poor man just as easily as rich man,

yes some of them are, the best ones are, the worst ones dont a 40 year old can still get the 25-30 crowd
when I was 25 I lost out to man 44 years of age the girl in question was 24.
Should I make a pledge to not get married until I am 35-40?
If you can last that long, you'll probably be able to go all the way!
