Because Brunch Granny only hates women.

Women are in their prime from 22-28. Men from about 27-35. Men don’t have to.

The issue is that men do not want to get married in their 20s and the most desirable male partners view it as their opportunity to play the field and "be free." Most men still see marriage as the end of their fun times and a prison they'll never escape from. Men in their 20s are incredibly immature, often refusing to engage in basic financial responsibility and personal hygiene, and very unwilling to engage commitment.

Pretty much all of my friends, and I, would have happily married in our 20s. I had 4 friends who got married before they turned 30. I met my husband when I was 29 and felt fortunate. Most of us married early to mid 30s, a couple late 30s, a few not at all. But with few exceptions, if you'd asked us right out of college if we'd be willing to get married at 25/26 to the right person, we would have said yes. The men we dated were not interested in marriage. At all.

Interesting. So the lack of early marriages was entirely the fault of immature young adult men and had nothing to do with the glorification of and young women buying into hookup culture, binge drinking, clubbing, traveling (read drunken hookup culture abroad with random foreigners), playing the field to 'learn what you like', the pill, abortion, lean in, girl boss, independent women, boozy weekend brunches (read drunkenly wasting weekends away instead of using weekends to find a spouse), and the big lie that marriage and children in your 20s was boring, holds you back professionally and was low class?

Welcome to the thread Brunch Granny! Can’t discuss women and marriage without your misogynistic self appearing!

I can't believe you don't think she was the one who started it to begin with.

Yes. School systems are fully aware.

Yes, that children of highly-educated, affluent, stable, mature parents perform the best.

You must not read the Special Needs forum.

Nah. The OP wasn’t nasty enough. BG can’t make a post without implying women are whores. She’s still regretting getting pregnant at 20 and having to marry the first man that had sex with her.

Neither do women.

BG posts on here almost daily that supposedly her kids friends are 23 yr old elite college grads already marrying & having babies (which I don’t believe a word of).

LOL what do you think happens to a woman when she turns 28? Does her uterus fall out?

What makes you think women have to marry?

[Anonymous]

Can’t stand the misogynists who think women aren’t capable of making our own decisions & are just a bunch of gullible sheep who don’t know what’s good for us.

Do you homeschool? Are you a submissive wife?

No, I went to Northwestern journalism school.

You're crazy, people need to do what's right for them. FWIW, most of the people I know that married immediately upon high school or college graduation are divorced.

I think it requires taking your education seriously and being mindful of finding a quality marriage-potential boyfriend during eight years of high school and college. Not just carelessly partying and wasting your teens and 20s away on hookup culture because you can find a rich husband when you're in your 30s like the actresses on Sex and the City.

LOL, okay, Martha.

LOL so many defensive little "I got married in my 20s" b__tches here today!
