young couples getting married = wack
a 34 year old jaded man marrying an unstable desperate younger woman = perfect love story, happily ever after

Replace marrying with just banging
Then you're cooking with grease :noah:
Not 34 yet but i see this formula working for the foreseeable future :blessed:

I know some absolute slobs in their 30s, absolutely average ass dudes with chicks way above they pay grade. Chicks get desperate in their mid to late 20s. Defcon level 1 in their 30s. You got a good job, a house and put in just a small amount of effort in the gym and you're already above 80% of men who're fat slobs at 30. That's when you can play the field and be picky like women do in their 20s. And yall nikkas wanna give up all that power to get married at 25 :skip:

Feminism got yall nikkas thinking you're women. A woman's life stops at 30. A man's life only stops at 30 if he's broke, living at mom's house, and a fat, out of shape loser. You got your shyt right and that's when the games really start for men. Yall got it fukked up :wtf:

to think everything is just going to fall into place when your'e 35 is insane

Oh, I'm not saying that I'm just sayin I think I might be ready to start settling down around then.

I'm a party animal and I don't feel ready to have a baby anytime soon.

My goal has always been to be happy, and then find a woman I can be happy with. As long as you aren't passing up on a good thing, just keep doing you until you find the right one.

I'm a 28 year old woman, and I'm not in the position (personally, where I want to be pre-wife/children) to be married and a mother right now. I'm definitely relationship oriented and highly nurturing, but as far as my personal plan for my life, I'm not there yet. I embrace that. It's better to know yourself and what you're capable of handling/doing, than to try and meet someone else's expectations for you.

I had the chance at 22 to be married, but I had to say no because I did not wish to be married so badly that I confused fetishization with true love. I want to be known, respected, accepted, protected. I will not go for anything less than that, nor will I offer anything less. I have been through more in the past 4 years than some people will go through in a lifetime. I mean nearly losing my own life, and suddenly losing my father who was my greatest support in life. I am healing, I am rebuilding, I am continuing to work on what else I will take to the table. I want a man with whom I can build, who wants to build with me. I want strong, dedicated, passionate love. Not infatuation, not wild lust, and not temporal.

I want to build with him and support him well, as I wish he would offer the same to me in return. That way when/if he and I are blessed with children, they will thrive in an environment of wholesome love and have the best chance at being their greatest selves. The best way to go about that is for each person to love themselves singularly, and then nourish and protect their love as a couple. You have to know yourself well, have your standards, compromise for no one or their timelines. It's a bit different for women, as we have the biological clock ticking, but even so, I just believe children deserve the best from the beginning. I'm not going to rush to get married and become a mother just because society thinks I should. I have to live with me and my choices, and I try to think of my future spouse and children everyday, and become the type of wife/mother I want to be, as I continue to grow into my womanhood. Although I've experienced severe loss, it has matured me and shown me that while life is short, it's important to be true to yourself. Acknowledge and accept your needs, know and love yourself well.

I applaud that. I know this is TLR and y'all play around a lot, but I was just discussing this with one of my closest friends/sisters last night. It's something I feel very passionately about, so I just had to come 100% open and honest in this thread.

Edit: It is so irritating to me how many times I've been told "you're marriage material!" And/or asked "how/why are you still single?!" "I bet you're out there breaking hearts, huh?"

What?! No. I'm single because I choose to be. I don't receive nearly the attention I'm assumed to receive, and when I do, I quickly sense and separate what's authentic or not. I don't have time for games, and I don't need attention 24/7. I could honestly stay single and be fine with my life. I ask/tell these people they are pressed and need to stop worrying! It'll be right when it's the right time, with the right person. I want nothing pseudo and to soothe the worries of others. It's strange to me how much people plan their lives and want to plan yours too, or something is "wrong." Just chill!
