[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One poster here seems really freaked out by brunches. [/quote]

I was just thinking that! What is it about brunches that triggers that poster so bad?[/quote]

[i]Show us on the doll where the smoked salmon hurt you... [/i][/quote]

Remain mindful of all the amazing smoked salmon, bellinis, and eggs benedicts you enjoyed on the way to your fertility doctor in your 30s. Life of leisure and hookup culture in your 20s was so worth it! :roll: [/quote]

That’s right! You should forego traveling, kissing other people, sleeping in and generally advancing your career so you can be married at 22, prego while your friends are out doing fun stuff and generally sitting home in the suburbs in your 20’s. You need to live like it’s 1950 to be a real person.[/quote]

Do you...know that you can travel, sleep in, advance your career, and have fun while you're married? Is that the issue here? You can even have fun with kids. Really. And you don't have to move to the suburbs, ever, if you don't want to. The idea that getting married and having kids before you're middle-aged is "living like it's 1950" is a very odd perspective.

Tell it to the men. You could be a pretty, educated (non religious, because this skews things) 23 year old and go out on 10 dates in DC or NYC with men under 30 and pretty much every one of them is going to run out the door like their hair is on fire and promptly lose your number the second you vocalize something like wanting to be married and having kids in the next few years. I don't understand why the onus is always put on women when it is VERY clear in the 20-something dating world that most high quality men have zero desire to settle down before 30 or close to it.

Disagree with your last sentence. Plenty of guys hate dating and would like to meet the right person.[/quote]

Not really, not the good looking smart ones in urban areas building their careers. They're looking to climb Kilamanjaro at 26 with their friends not become a dad. The guys who are early 20s and "hate dating" and are looking to settle down are not the cream of the crop. [/quote]

Let me guess you are over 30 and single?[/quote]

No, I'm over 30 and haven't been single since 28.[/quote]
