The article assumes things that are not facts. How about the fact that the vast majority of “women” are nothing but little girls and are not worth marrying?
Uh.... okay.
Women ideally should marry before 24. Men can afford to wait into their 30's.
Lookup MGTOW.
This advice might have been relevant 20 or 30 years ago, but the facts of life today is that the reason that many young men are remaining unmarried today are the *same* reasons they used to have to get married.
Why? Because they are responsible, honorable, smart enough to project what the future holds, they are not libertines, and are kind to others.
Many young men know that beginning married life deeply in debt with student loans, both theirs and their spouses, is almost a guarantee that it will be more than a decade before they can even start at the beginning. Where there parents might have graduated with nothing, it was all uphill from there.
Also, while their parents were paid less, they could mortgage an affordable home, with at least some expectation they could pay off that loan someday. But today the exact same home has inflated some 400 or 500% in price.
Oh yes, and how much is it to raise a child to adulthood? A hundred thousand dollars? Three hundred?
i was in my early 30s and my husband was 36 when we married... we dated 5 months, got engaged, and got married in less than a year—16 years ago... i am so glad neither of us got married young... i always knew—from the time i was a little girl—that i would not get married young... two previous boyfriends had offered me engagement rings... i accepted neither... when i consider all my relationships before my husband, it would have been a mistake to have taken any of them all the way to marriage...
And then other guys try marriage a couple times.

Actually I think our generation was better. Get married before 20, have your babies by 23 while you are totally flexible and have lots of energy. Then when you are 40 and in the prime of your income years the kids are gone and you continue to have a wonderful life. We both worked full time went to college in the evening and on weekends and raised two wonderful children. All of our friends did the same thing. No one had any money then but we had a whole lot of fun.

I don’t believe anyone male or female should get married before 30. Go to college or spend a hitch in the armed forces. Buy a home. Other than your mortgage be debt free. Marry someone that has done the same.
My 2 cents.
Are there any good single women out there these days...??
They should have added at the end:
“Reality Check: Maybe you’re a fag.”
I’ve advised Grandson #1 to take his time and listen to his gut. I trust his judgment and support it.
My husband was definitely the “Shy Guy”, but he was worth the effort :-)
I’m 35 and I have not been in a committed relationship for over 10 years. I really would like to, however, it seems no matter where I look, all I find are liberalized brainwashed immature little girls who habitually hop from man to man. The sad truth for American men these days is if you’re looking for a strong, dependable, faithful and loyal woman with conservative principles, you’re pretty much screwed. The few that are out there get grabbed up fast. I admit I do live in Austin TX, so I do understand this is a bad pond to fish for a good woman, but you simply have to work with what you got, sadly.
I was single into my early thirties but was fortunate enough to marry a good woman. She’s conservative (way more than me which I get a kick out of), likes guns, strong Christian.
