So I'm gonna assume than the majority of players are in their twenties. Which some would call your prime. Of course now the fifties are being called the new twenties (whatever the heck that means) so maybe it's not. There's tons of articles, movies, and shows poking fun of the 20 something crowd. Mocking your plight. Your lack of optimal employment, crappy love lives, and your general musings. It's tough. I know (Actually I don't because I'm not in my twenties but I digress). Today I approach you (as in all players) with a question that you may or may not be pondering. When are you getting married? Or actually let me be less blunt, when do you "hope" to be married? Over the decades, the age for getting married has risen. At least for women. When you go back to the olden days women were sought out by suitors when they were as young as 12-13. And honestly if your weren't married by the time you were 18, people assumed you'd die an old and lonely spinster. Harsh right? On the other side of the coin, it's not like these 13 year olds were being courted by 13 year old boys. Oh hell no. They were being courted by men in their 20's sometimes late 30's. Because in honestly what 13 year old guy can provide for anyone let alone himself? Now fast forward to the modern age. The age of marriage for woman has risen A LOT. Women now tend to marry more often in their 30's and women marrying in their late teens or early 20's are seen as rushing into things. But like in the olden days, after you pass a certain age say your mid 40's everyone begins to expect you to die an old and lonely spinster. The age of men on the other hand, has remained relatively the same. Men still get married in their late 20's or 30's commonly. So what to take from this? It's obvious that men have been pushed to seek mates their own age rather than seeking younger women. But what hasn't changed is the fact that women are still viewed as having a sort of biological clock ticking away, so society all but demands that they marry someone past their prime. Whereas for men, there is no "passing your prime." I mean sure at some point you might not be sexually stimulated as easily but has anyone heard of Viagara? Look at Clooney. So he's super rich and handsome but he's old. Yet he's getting married to a beautiful woman in her thirties this year. In theory when you think about it, woman get less appealing to men as they age and men get more appealing (thanks nature). Honestly I think if you're a woman, the pressure to get married is extremely intense once you reach a certain age. While in the case of a man the pressure is never really there although some people may expect/hope he does marry. Honestly I personally think that you should get married earlier rather than later in life. ? I get that people want to be super secure before they partner off with someone forever (or a week if you're Kim K) but you'll never be completely ready to be married. So why wait? If you're in love and you've got your shit together get married. You won't be alive that long. You won't be able to have sex without getting a conniption or needing Viagara or any other hilarious thing that happens to old people that hook up in movies. You won't be able to kids as easily. You might not be able to even walk your kid down the aisle if you wait til you're like 50 (that's for all those strange old ladies on that third party app for hooking up who are looking for "serious" relationships. Like what the hell? What have you been doing for the past 30 years?) So tell me what you consider to be the ideal age for marriage.
This is long as fuck. Summary: What's the ideal age for marriage The average age for women has gone from as early as age 13 to being about as late as 35 now The average age for men hasn't really changed all that much since it's always been 27-35 ish Society puts more pressure on women to get married than do on men. I personally think that it is everyone's best interest to at least get married before they're 40 because the entire experience is just more enjoyable that way. ? Respond with what you think is the best age for marriage.
It depends when you want to get married, when you find the right one for you. When you find your other half...?I think if you have known someone since you and they were in your teens then getting married in your 20's isn't bad. I would like to get married when I'm 21-22 ? I don't think it's rushing into things. It's not like meeting someone and getting married to them the same year you meet them or a couple months after you meet them.
No sorry about before. I don't really see an ideal age. Just an ideal relationship. One that's sturdy you know, you've been together long enough to know eachothers flaws. Doesn't matter of you're 64 or 22. Just not too immature, whether that be in age or the relationship you're in.
