[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are strange question for a board that is dc focused. Almost all of my girlfriends including myself married either close to thirty or by mid-thirties. We are all lawyers with two doctors, a PhD, and a banker thrown in so lots of graduate school. For myself i was in many serious relationships but unready to marry And focused on getting my footing in my career. This was the case until I met DH at 30. We dated for 2 years, he proposed then we planned our wedding etc for another year before we married. [/quote]

This right here. The people I knew who married in early-to-mid 20s were very religious, small town world outlook, believed marriage was a badge of adulthood, had the mentality in the first place that you need to meet your spouse in college, and also ... let's just say ... needed to lock in the first taker they found.

On the other hand, plenty of people I knew who waited until their 30s to settle down did so precisely because they had the looks and career to "wait" -- they enjoyed dating around in college and their 20s as much as possible, traveling, hooking up, etc., and knew they'd get snapped up fast in their early 30s when they were ready to tie the knot, and that's exactly what happened. Rather than being the ones who were running out of time, there is absolutely a group who can afford to have adventures and put off marriage until 30s because they are an attractive commodity.
