[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^ Did it occur to you that you did not attract men who wanted to settle down because you were not interested in settling down?[/quote]

I dated two men seriously, one I am married to. I was open with every guy I ever went out with that I wanted to have kids and was dating with that in mind. I met my future husband at 22. Started dating at 24, married at 27. And +4 for him (so he was 31).

I consider myself a case study in focused dating. And I consider myself lucky, because I'm the only one of my friends married, two kids in and financially and relationship stable at 33. Some have some of those things, but I have all. Mostly it was luck and I still didn't have my first until 31.[/quote]

Wow you sound smug. But I find that life works in cycles so I’m sure before too long you’ll find yourself taken down a peg or two. [/quote]

But please don’t wish that on anyone. Everyone does in fact experience grave misfortune but we don’t wish that on others! [/quote]

I'm the pp. I have had lots of misfortune. This one area of my life is great. O really attribute most of it to luck. My only point was that people can be focused on getting married and have it still either not work out or not happen until 30s.[/quote]
