What a
Cute couple!!

No, they must be crazy right wingers trying to be trad. They should have serial dated randos for another 10 years before settling down.

Whenever a single woman posts about finding a good guy in her 30s, the response is often what was she doing in her twenties?

I am sure the lives of Brittany mahomes and Kylie Kelce are appealing to many young impressionable girls.

I remember a guy friend saying that women should find a spouse during their peak years (by 25). At the time, I was 26 and had been dating my boyfriend for a year. I do think you have the most choices in your early to mid twenties. Your dating pool is everyone.

The lives of pro football wives? You really think that young adults are making major life decisions based on what random pro athletes’ wives are posting on social media?

You do realize that what they post on social media isn’t real. You have no idea what their lives are really like. It’s weird to idolize random strangers who happen to be famous or married to someone famous.

This is the weirdest thread. So much fantasy land.

Married young does not mean having kids young.

The first statement is interesting…I knew so many people who arrived at law school married then got divorced in law school or shortly after.

I guess since they're overweight or obese now Gen z is marrying so they don't feel lonely

Being married in law school is so stressful. I basically did not bond with my classmates in favor of keeping my marriage going.

Law school and med school are perfect times for starter marriages. Get someone to teach or nurse or something so you don’t have to worry about a roof over your head. Give just enough attention so she sticks around for your schooling, but focus on bonding with your classmates as that’s the foundation of your network. Then dump your wife about six months before you finish and your income jumps. Block her on all your social media. End result is you get subsidized while you study and then you’re free to trade in your wife when you qualify for better.

If you wait a decade to marry and buy a house, prices will be that much more unobtainable with hedge funds and STR parasites hoarding all the inventory.

Again not data, but signs that Gen Z is at least more interested in marriage than older groups

A lot of young ladies working on the Hill with engagement rings. Ambitious kids are eager to start life after Covid.

Rich and UMC only mingle with and marry each other, so the class stratification will intensify in the coming years. You're going to have 30-something wealthy married couples, with kids, and nice homes, while their 30-something low and middle class peers never marry, if they have a kid it'll be out of wedlock, and they'll never be able to afford a house.

That’s probably the expectation for the fAmILy vALuEs types.
