[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see some successful, handsome, charismatic guys getting hitched mid-late 20's. Why do this when you can easily wait another 10 years while living the fun single life and will probably be even more attractive to women by your mid-late 30's?[/quote]

I am late to this thread, but I think how you have framed this question is telling.  You think being single is "fun" and being married I guess isn't.

I got married at 25, my wife was 22.  I knew very well that my dating "stock" would continue to rise at least into my thirties but that obviously wasn't what I was thinking about.  I loved my wife and wanted to get married.  I have no regrets.  I did the college thing.  I had been in a couple of long term serious relationships.  I knew enough to know that my wife and I were a good match.  We have traveled the world together.  We have wonderful kids.  We have both been successful in our careers, and we have done it all together.

What would I trade that away for?  Dating absolutely had its moments, and I certainly get the appeal of the prospect of more variety, etc, but there was also so much BS and wasted energy.  I can't imagine giving up what I have had just for the chance to roll the dice a few dozen more times.

There will always be the possibility of something a little bit better out there I suppose, but an inability to recognize when you have something special is ultimately self destructive.
