[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im sorry, but youre talking about a perspective from the mid 90's or so.  You might also be a prole.  In my professional circle, nobody got married before 25 and few did before 30.  If you look at the average age of men marrying in the DC area its something like 32 or 33.  So your husband is the outlier, not me.  Its 2013 time to get with the program.

My value went up as I aged.  Thats not true for every guy, but its true for me.  Not sure what to tell you...im in good shape, with a prestigious job and there are lots of attractive 28-33 women to date.  I dont disparage you or your choices, perhaps you should stop insulting people for theirs.[/quote]

and yet, you are trying to pick up women (a few pages back) on an anonymous board... so much for your value and options. i am sure there are attractive women out there to date, but if they or you were all that, you would have been married by now.

and yes, the average age at first marriage went up and all that, but it went up 2-3 years, not 10 years, like you want to believe. like everybody else, you hang out with people who are similar to you (like many single women here as well) so you live in illusion that things have changed drastically (women having children in their forties etc). in reality, they have changed only so slightly.

also, the fact remains that male value decreases with age, ceteris paribus. now, there are cases where people change significantly, but in most cases, ceteris paribus holds and men and women both have less options as they age - even if they lose options at different rates. bwt, both DH and i are phds so it took a while for our careers to take off. however, having married early helped our careers, not hurt them, because we could spend our time focused on developing our knowledge and skills, not wasting time with boring strangers or sorting through endless online profiles. in any case, we had many many options and would have been foolish to have passed them on. pretty much all people i know of who are single in their thirties are single because they didn't have good or any options (this is surprisingly common).

[quote]Somewhere out there there's a 41 year old guy sick of his wrinkled, annoying wife and wondering why he got married so early.[/quote]

right. well, this kind of explains why you are still single. speaking abstractly, you think that my husband would benefit from leaving me because he could presumably find a younger woman but that's because you still don't understand that age is a hindrance for men, as well as women. my husband would not be able to find a woman his own age who is like me (all such women have been married for more than 10 years), nor a young woman like me (because those women, just like me, are looking at young men, just like he was, not at aging 40+ men with a wife and kids).

another thing: desirable men never think about this stuff. they never "game" anything, nor do they think too much about their value, how it changes, who attracts whom, alphas, betas, the average age at marriage etc etc. they just go with their manly guts and get exactly what they need and want. they don't "get with programs", they fall in love and get married because they are men, not calculating wimps. i am so tired of left-over men (not directly, but through a friend who is a widow and dating) parading around self-importantly because hey, they are men, and therefore their looks don't matter ( :lol: ) and they will be desirable, like, forever. yeah right.[/quote]
