[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The advice I’ve given is to wait until you’ve achieved your educational goals before starting any relationship[/b], that a partner should Support and encourage your goals, and should always make you feel safe and comfortable. 
For maintaining a good relationship, communication and respect and honesty. And remember, you can only control yourself. Your partner may flake, no matter what. [/quote]

Then this morphs into, “Wait until you have some financial stability,” and the goalposts keep moving. Then you end up spending $100,000 on IVF and still can’t get pregnant. There’s a reason that no women until the last 60 years of recorded history waited until their 30s to get in a relationship and start a family, and it’s not just the patriarchy.[/quote]
This tbh. Don't overinvest in education and career so much that you aren't dating to marry until your 30s or 40s. You just need something to fall back on if worst comes to worst, not making it your whole lifestyle... If you do, men of value will just pick the young college grad with no fertility concerns / debt / therapy baggage, and there will be no getting those misspent years of your youth back. Those years of your life are priceless - invest them well.

[b]Have your education wrapped up by 24 at the latest, but preferably sooner. [/b]That gives you just a few years to find a really good man before your options are limited to the bums already warned about ITT.[/quote]

Your advice is that women should not be doctors or get their phDs? Terrible advice![/quote]
It better be an extremely useful PhD, if she's going to exchange her prime dating years for it; the average doctorate recipient's age is 31.5 years old.

If it's a useful degree, then she's realistically limited to a tiny dating pool of men in her income bracket... and many of them will want to date younger. If it's a useless degree, then she's 31+, with six-figure debt, and her options are terrible.

A woman's 20s are priceless. The amount of attention, validation, and proposals a woman receives at 25 versus 35 are night and day... No amount of money can replace those misspent years - they're beyond any measurable value.[/quote]
