[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is 23 considered “pretty young” to get married?[/quote]

Because it is. The average first marriage age for an American male is 29 and for an American female it's 27.][/quote]

I barely know any married younger millennials or older Gen Zers in their early-mid 20s, but I’m an older Millennial born in the mid-80s and like, 23-26 was prime wedding time for me and my friends. Multiple weddings every summer and fall, people showing up at work with engagement rings all the time. [/quote]

Where are you from, and where were you living from 23-26?  I'm roughly the same age and this was not at all my experience.  I was 26 when my first friend got married (and she's a couple years older than me), and prime wedding time for my friends was 29-33.  I feel like that is much more the norm of our peers, but it may be a urban/rural or regional divide thing.[/quote]

I grew up in the Midwest. Most of my friends have 4 year degrees, some only 2 or they went right to work or enlisted, but most had college degrees. I went to 6 weddings when I was 24-25, and got married myself at 25 (almost 26), and went to 3 other weddings that same year! My younger sister also got married at 25. But just speaking of the younger people I know and work with, they’re almost all single, not even seriously dating. I moved to this area when I was 28 and there were people at my new job who were shocked that I had already been married for almost 3 years. So I think it’s definitely regional.

I do agree that it’s beginning to be a status symbol thing to be a young(ish) hot mom amongst celebs. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a kid sooner rather than later. [/quote]

Totally agree re status symbol.  Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner, Sophie Turner, etc.  It shows off the fact that they don't need to settle down after having kids because they have the resources to hire an army of nannies/fly private/etc.  Also that they don't have to spend their 20s focused on their careers because they have plenty of money (and, if their career is looks-based, they can pay to nip/tuck their way back to perfection immediately).

The only thing that money can't buy is relationship stability, but maybe a billion dollars makes co-parenting with an ex simple too.  Or being dumb in your early 20s is a cross-class phenomenon.[/quote]
