[quote=Anonymous]So I was PP earlier and thought more about the discussion. There are two scenarios we are discussing. Finding the right mate and being married or not. Basically you can't tell a single woman at 34 that she 'must get serious' that puts a lot of pressure on her and any potential relationship.

I had a strategy after graduating from college (single). It was to date men that were serious and older men (30s). Mostly because men my age (20s) weren't established, weren't looking to settle down, and I didn't want to wait to start having kids until my mid-30s. I wanted to be done by 30. I traveled heavily for 5 years and did all of those things that I wanted to do before having 2 kids before 30. Not everyone is that lucky.

That being said if a female student brings up family and balancing school, job, career; I think you should be 100% honest and supportive. Most women don't feel like their boss or co-worker would support them having children so hearing otherwise might actually help someone feel more confident about taking the plunge. So do it, OP, spread the word![/quote]
