Seems to have been the case for quite a while now. The trouble for women of this turn of mind is that when they are in their early thirties and beginning to get twinges of settling down they find that men their age are more interested in hooking up with twenty-somethings.

I tell my daughters: find the man you are going to marry before you hit 25. Under 25, you have maximal selection if you're up to dating guys up to 30. Past 30, a large percentage of guys are either taken, or divorced and cynical.

Cynicism reigns supreme in my group. lol

My daughter just ended a relationship of 5+ years. I never pressed her to marry the father of my grandson, because I knew it wouldn't work. She was a college grad, he a HS grad with no real plans for the future, a bad mix considering he recently turned 30.

My focus was on the needs of my grandson. My daughter and I will have more serious chats when I meet her next beau.
