[quote=Anonymous]DH grew up (from preschool age onwards) in a small CA beachtown and has had a core group of 5 guy friends his whole life -- even though they went to different colleges; scattered around the country/world. 3 married, 2 single -- everyone is 32-33. It's always amazing to me how quick a man can find a woman to marry once he decides -- that's it, I want a wife and kids. At the wedding of the 3rd of his friends, one of the single guys who is super handsome, has always been a flirty/party type etc. drunkenly expressed some sentiments of -- it'll never happen for me, you guys are so lucky throughout the wedding weekend. Some of it was just alcohol, but we suspected it was coming from somewhere -- he had had these thoughts before. This was 8 months ago. After the wedding weekend he goes back to New Zealand (where he and his family moved post- high school -- but they're wealthy enough that they come to the US at least 2-4 times/yr so DH and the rest of the friend group is still a part of his life), signs up for an online dating site, meets a girl within 1-2 weeks, dates her, travels with her off to Europe etc. and boom within 8 mos they are engaged. From what DH and I have heard about her from friend, she sounds nice and we're looking forward to meeting her when they come to the US in 1-2 weeks bc she is bringing him to introduce him to her parents for the first time and to have both families meet.

Happy for them, but I feel like guys have it so much "easier" in this regard -- if they're looking to settle down and you're the next one they meet, that's it. Meanwhile I have plenty of single gfs in the same age range who are fantastic who are stuck in the game of -- does he like me, does he not, he didn't text me back etc. Am I the only one who thinks it's like this for guys?[/quote]
