[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is telling a very specific story.  If you wait until you are thirty to start getting serious about finding love your odds are really low.  Meeting young and marrying young is so much more natural.  I'm talking early to mid 20s vs. late 20s-30s.  Those that get this and value love and are decently attractive and not weirdos do just fine.    My daughter and all of her friends have marriage-material boyfriends because they didn't wait until their late 20s to have their first relationship or finally seek commitment  It's really that simple.[/quote]

A lot of this is self selection of people who are well adjusted, good communicators, have had happy marriages modeled for them, and have good interpersonal skills. I think what we are seeing outside of that is a decrease in those traits generally in the younger generations. You see this in data about the impact of phones and social media on gen z etc - fewer friendships, less time spent with others in person etc. [/quote]
