I find it strange that people decide to "settle down" with a woman before they've even met her.
I've known guys that one day just realized "oh wow I'm tired of going bar hopping looking for girls. I just want someone I can share my life with that has common interests."
For my husband, there was never a situation where he thought "I think I'm ready to settle down." No particular time or point in this life... until we met. He didn't really think about marriage before we met. He wasn't sure he'd ever get married or have kids.
He was 35 when we met/married, and 36 when we had our daughter (his first).
I mean find a serious girlfriend (as opposed to going out all the time and hooking up with different women) and possibly get married.
classic. Am I to assume this question is directed only to the 20% or less of men whose life experience in their 20s was going out all the time and hooking up with women?

I have always been annoyed by the bar scene women.
When I went to bars, I almost NEVER talked to women. I was concerned with taking whiskey shots with my buddies.
While not all women at bars are stupid, the ones who are going to the bars to meet some dude to sleep with.. most likely are. The last thing on my mind is to go out, talk to some woman who couldn't find Brasil on the map, try to act like I'm interested in her stupid stories and references to the Kardashians.
Yeah.... going to the bar is fun for me if I want to hang out with my buddies and catch up.. but bar scene for singles/hookups? I'll stay far far away.
Settling down to me means giving up my status as a free man. Before I go further, free man does not mean staying single or unattached. Being a free man means not being subjugated under the corporate/government complex. A free man can still have serious relationships or a marriage because those scenarios demonstrate commitment to another human being and can be fulfilled without subjugation under the corporate/government complex.
I voted never because settling down implies having a family, which in most cases requires indentured servitude/slavery to the corporate/government complex to support the family in the Euro-American way of life.
