Marriage is dependant upon another person. You cannot compare it to losing weight which is a solitary effort and is a solitary endeavor. There seems to be an air of superiority amongst those who have ” found someone”

I want to be done having kids by 32-33 (that is, if I have them), so I guess I'd want to get married sometime between 27-30. If it doesnt happen that way, I'll be fine.

I'm hoping that all of these outlandish opinions are because y'all are looking at this hypothetically

i do think that there is an age when you need to realize that your standards may not be up to what you can get. time to turn the microscope on yourself. if it's that important to you, you need to just settle for something else b/c that guy/girl is not coming along. you've convinced yourself of something unobtainable for way too long.

I disagree. My ideal waltzed into my life after I hit 30. By then I had come into my own, got sick of the idiots i was dating and was single for 4-5yrs, the panic had come and gone and for my 29th birthday i decided to start my phd. What I knew was that I was prepared (and still am) to be alone than settle with less than, just to be with somebody *shrugs*.

i never went into panic mode because i didnt really care about getting married or having kids. i liked being single. me and my friends always said i would be the last one to get married and i was ok with that. 4 years later i got married and they are in panic mode now in their early 30s. they think life starts when they get married. i tell them to enjoy being single and enjoy life. i know they relly want kids soon though. im the only one with kids right now.

Have a good attitude, work on your life purpose and career.
Learn how to manage your finances, because if you cannot do it as a single woman you cannot manage the finances for a husband and children. While you are single work on being the best woman you can be. A good catch is more than just a woman with a pretty face, you must have a good attitude and some substance to your life. Do not look for a man he will find you, they always do, those that are interested see you, trust me. If you desire a husband do not date a man for a long time 3 years is max, if he is the one, and he feels you are the one then it should not take him 10 years to propose marriage. If he is not the one then be friends and move one. Ladies do not allow a man to use up your precious years, while he figures things out. Always be willing to walk away if you are not married. And do not have sex with men so quickly, this is the huge mistake women make while dating. Value your body enough to save yourself for someone who is worthy. If you do not follow bible principles of waiting until marriage to give yourself to a man, still have enough respect for yourself to get to know the man longer. You may find out something 2 months down the line you do not like about him, and it is easier to walk away if that man does not have a piece of you. Once you open your body to a man that is a soul tie, whether you stay together or not. Use wisdom and know your value behind close doors. Many women fake to the world that they are tough and have it together, but behind closed doors some man is running them over. Use wisdom, you are precious and valuable.
