 I also find that confident guys who know they have no business getting married at 23, can mature on their own with experience dating, traveling, living an untethered life for a while which is something I value. I didn’t know who I was right out of college and I have changed. A lot. So did most of my friends. [/quote]

I'm a good father and husband; make a decent husband. But there's no way I was a good catch in my early 20s. And if I hadn't spent the better part of my 20s getting drunk and being fairly irresponsible, I wouldn't be as good a father & husband as I am now. That stuff is fun, but it wears thin. Now, when I'm shouldering the burdens of the world, I don't mind so much because I know the appeal of that untethered life is superficial.

Maybe I had too much fun in college, but after graduation I was ready to slow down. I ended up marrying college GF in my mid 20s, so we had 4 years of playing house during grad school before marriage. Having children and starting a family was a priority. We've going strong 24 years later, most of our friends from grad school who were married while in school are still together [/quote]
