College is the best place to get laid, not to get married. You're in your very early 20's, what do you know about life? 99.9997% of people at that age are not ready.

The question was where to MEET potential spouses. COLLEGE is the best answer. Grad school is even better. Sorry you are to immature to understand.

OP said meet. Lots of people meet their spouses in college, that doesn't mean they are marrying at graduation

Work, online, through friends, through hobbies.

So young to get married. Statistics are against it lasting.

My sister dates online, but honestly hasn’t had much luck. She just turned 30 and I know wants to meet someone. Her social circle is almost fully female, no prospects at work, even her volunteer work surrounds her with mostly women.

Most of my 20s/early 30s relatives/family friends who recently married met online.

I also know some couples who were set up by their moms’ friends, or coworkers.

Statistics are NOT against 28 and 26! DCUM’s insistence on infantilizing people over 25 is just exhausting.

DH and I got married at 26 and 27, 10 years ago. If DCUM is any metric we are doing better than 99% of you all in terms of marital happiness.

Keep trying to make yourself feel better. It is ridiculously young to get married. Did you both actually graduate from college?

Np here. I couldn’t find a study I looked up last night but this article suggests late 20s / early 30s is reasonable.

I met my DH in college. We got married just after I finished grad school and when he was still working on his PhD. I was 29 and he was 27 when we married.

These days my colleagues in their 20s (the 20 somethings I know) seem to meet significant others mostly online, but also through friends, at work, or a church.

I have never done on-line dating. I always ask friends and relatives to set me up. It has always been with nice guys.

I love dating. i have no intention of marrying. I'm 42.

My niece just got married (25) and she met her husband at the farmer's market. He spotted her and asked her a question about some kind of fruit.

My friend met his wife at a book club meeting. He went to it because his best gal-pal told him he was sure to meet women there. He did -- his very first meeting his met his future wife!

I would not do on-line dating. Too creepy. I met my husband on a hike I did with the local Sierra Club chapter.

Actually I had always found it easy to meet men at common-interest activities.

The ski club, runners clubs, photog clubs, etc are great resource for activities.
