[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have at it, Gen Z and parents. Everything old is new again. They can know the "problem with no name" like my mom and other post-WWII era SAHMs did. Oh, and tell them to read Fascinating Womanhood, also on many mothers' bookshelves. [/quote]

Same for the men. They can look forward to being tethered to someone for life who, most likely, will quickly lose interest in frequent sex, pester them about inane bullsht, and not let them do fun sht anymore.[/quote]

I'd be shocked if the "high quality" men in major metro areas DCUM loves have changed so much in the past 10 years since I was dating that they're down with getting married at 22. I think even if a woman was hellbent on early marriage, but dating in NYC/DC/London etc. it would be nearly impossible unless they were part of some subgroup (probably religious) where early marriage was the norm OR they were ok with dating 10+ years older. All those finance/law/etc types were marrying from around 28-34. [/quote]

Can someone respond to this? People (like OP) seem to think this is a woman issue of wanting to gain education, build a career, obtain financial stability and security before they settle down and this is viewed as a problem. Stats show more and more women taking on the breadwinner role. I am by no mean opposed to young marriage, but even in UMC circles this was not a thing. So how do we recoconcile our girls marrying early 20s with a pool of men who are ABSOLUTELY not ready for that? I think someone posted an example, but with a 17 year age difference. Ehhh....[/quote]

Yes when I was 22 I was actively looking for someone hoping to be married in my mid-late 20s. None of my same age boyfriends would’ve wanted to settle down that young.  But I also wasn’t dating anyone religious or traditional.[/quote]
