I've always thought the best age for a man to settle down with a wife and kids is the late 20s early 30s. But I am 22 and there are people I went to high school with that already have kids approaching pre-k and kindergarten status and some are married. I'm at the stage where I still feel too young for all that responsibility but I also feel too old for a high school type mentality if that makes sense?

late as possible yet still capable of having and handling a family, whatever that age and good fortune falls on you.

Just remember that settling down is totally optional. Only you know when is the right time to settle down for yourself if at all.

You are at a great age! Take your time to enjoy it, don't rush through it.

Try to remember, every person has to live their own life and no 2 people will ever live it exactly the same way.

Just strive to make good choices in all you do and work hard to have as few regrets as possible

Whenever he feels like it. It can be at 18 or 48. As long as he can find a partner, you can always settle down.

Do not feel too bad I am turning 30 and all the people i went to high school have had a few kids and settled down. I wish I can just meet a girl to settle down with but I have to finish college and make my dreams happen. No girl in her right mind is going to date a guy that wants to stay at a dead end job for the rest of his life.

My advice to you is go to college if you have not all ready and find a good job you like to do.

The best age is when you feel like you want to and not a moment before that. That could be 18, 22, 27, 35 or 40. It depends on you, but don't let anyone else dictate this to you, whether it be them telling you to do it earlier or later.

Somewhere between getting well established in a career and having a baby.
