I am 26 and not ready to settle down, am I behind in life?

[Ollie Williams]

Live your fukkin life.
When it's time to settle down, you'll settle down.
And don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
*shoulder leans*

 

[DIMES]

Biologically you going against yourself


Women supposed to have babies by 29

Most fertile when they early 20s late teens


What does that tell you?

 

[Jimi Swagger]

Don't use a timeline and go by what is best for you. Most black dudes are not ready to be decent fathers until their 40s/50s. Maturity and money should be increased by then. Also, settling down takes a lot of compromising. Creating a family, if you are a good father, takes planning and sacrifice.

Marry one of these dusty bitter broke ass bipolar Coli chicks so they can have a positive male role model in they fukk ass lives.

You are 26 years old, Live your life . Why rush yourself in a married relationship when in your mind you dont know if you are to get married? You a young dude, there been a lot of young people who got married and ended up break it off cause they was not ready, they didnt like the person they married, etc.

i'll make a good father.....

but the other part

All of those who point at Japan and mock & laugh at their current birthrate (or lack their of) must realize it didn't happen overnight.

How can you wait around for certain "things" in your life to be ready/in order? That will never happen unless you currently live the most reckless lifestyle

How could you be so sure that when and if you ARE ready that someone will just come around and be the one that syncs up with where you are in life? or even if a relationship with said person will or will not pan out?

Get money, work on yourself, travel around the world, and live life to the fullest. Stop watching other people. Time will come when you find the right women that loves you for you. For now just live life.

Facts. Im 24 and i dont plan to get married until im 34. So i have 10 years to get money, travel and live life.

You're never behind on anything as long as you're following what you want to do. I'm older than 26 () and have no intention of ever having kids and have zero interest in taking a wife. Some people want that life and some don't. It's all good either way.

 

[Ashley Banks]

Girl, you married now? Since when?

lol October last year.

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

Im 35, and enjoy the benefit of not being settled down. The freedom you give up when you settle down......its up to you whether its worth it or not. For me it isnt worth it. Looking at the way relationships/marriages are now.....a commitment these days is usually a solution to a socio-economical problem. Even with that said, there is always the chance of a divorce and being financially crippled by lawyer fees, child support, etc (women usually win at that game)

Remember they (women) are the ones on the clock to reproduce/raise children etc......If you are single, no children, educated, a good career, etc...there is no reason to settle down unless someone comes along that is a no-brainer.

Enjoy yourself, go out, travel, see the world.....I spent most of my 20s going from relationship to relationship and sometimes I do feel like I missed out. These days I am truly grateful for the freedom I have.

You lost this battle a while ago

Yea. I look at my married friends with bags under their eyes, kids with giant heads, buying used minivans and no longer living life for themselves but for some little mutant or having shared bank accounts with their bird wife.
Both parties fat or sloppy as shyt. Vacations catered around activities for kids.
And I think

"How can I trade all of my freedom, the ability to spend all my money on whatever i want, vacations abroad, coming and going as I please, using all of my energy to progress as a man academically, professionally, physically, lyrically, hypothetically, realistically.. for a life like theirs "

i dream of coming home to a shytload of toys scattered across my floor with a wife that gave up trying to look good for me years ago

Who's to say a relationship with that person will or will not pan out?

Whose to say it would pan out regardless of what path you take?

 

[joeychizzle]

Honestly, there's no wrong answer. Settle when you see fit, with the right chick.

I aint thinking about that shyt until 35 at that earliest

The funny shyt is all the young guys in here telling you to hurry up and get married but, all the old guys I know.....my dad, my various uncles, and other old cats I know (dudes who're like 60 years old).......tell me to take as much time as possible. To not even think about it before 30. Some tell me don't even get married It's funny how the folk with no life experience answers differ so greatly from the guys with long life experience.
