[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I respectfully disagree with your logic OP.

Here's why:

You are implying that a woman's looks begin to go downhill somewhere in her late 20's. For some, this may be true but no women should ever feel like her chances for meeting a man get slimmer the more she ages. Women in their 20's are still trying to figure life out as well as form their own unique identities at this stage. No one should feel as if their best years are so temporary.

While in theory, I agree that a woman should date Mr. Right vs. Mr. Right Now. No one can argue this fact. But the 20's are not the time to start planning marriage and foreverness if you can help it.

The twenties are a time to enjoy one's youth. To live a care-free existence and get to know one's self. Most people do not see themselves getting hitched until their 30's anyway.

By the way, there are tons of women who look prettier as they age. I.e., Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson to name a few.[/quote]

In theory, I agree with you, and ideally one could spend their 20s living carefree and getting to know oneself and then magically find a husband at age 31, baby one and two in mid 30s.  But this isn't just about looks declining, it is about the availability of what women generally refer to as eligible men.  In my 20s, I knew dozens of great, single men.  In my mid-30s, I know none that are single of the never married type that your typical educated DC woman would be thrilled with (I know some great men that are divorced with kids, if you are ok with that).

I know quite a few women who are in their mid-30s who lament the fact they are single and probably will not have a natural family.  [b]They are beautiful, successful, smart, fun and total packages[/b], but the simple reality is there really are no men out there of their equals who are still single.  The universal "problem" these women had was wasting their 20s in a dead end relationship (not necessarily their "fault", one boyfriend was gay, another a serial cheater).

If you don't want to get married and have biological kids, then OPs advice isn't for you.  [/quote]

No, they're not.  If they were, a worthy guy would have snatched them up.  It's possible they have an overinflated expectation about themselves (common among urban professional women).[/quote]
