Well 20 years from now Newsweek will apologize for:
the Koran story - Newsweek lied, people died
sliming the American Military (too many occurrences too often repeated to list right now)
sliming conservatives
sliming Bush Administration officials
sliming President Bush
Oh, wait, Newsweek won't be around 20 years from now, guess it won't happen...oh well.

Yeah, and some 27 year old is going to say that there's no way that she'll marry a guy who's 35 because if he's lucky the second child will be born by the time he's 40 and she's still in her early 30's.
Women in the mid-twenties today are, on the whole, fairly immature and self centered. 28-30 is a pretty good age for them.

I don't remember that particular article, but I remember a lot of articles saying the same thing in the 80's. I say those articles were right on the mark, and nothing new: Of course, as someone grows older, and other people marry off, the pickings get slimmer.

Apology my butt. Simply creating a news article from a news article by pulling info out of thin air, twice, is not news.

OK, there was my FR laugh for the day. I should probably get to work now.

How's that old Dilbert joke go? "And what percentage of them marry terrorists?" "30" "Gosh..."
Must be a lot of Democrites getting married, then...
To: qam1
With today's trend of not marrying at all any article or study cannot give true results in fact probably now over 30s are marrying as much or not more than under 30s purely and simply because they they have chosen not to get married before.
Any previous statistics are worthless and can not show any trend to today's society due to the lax morals that so many men and women have and not bothering to marry at all.

Come to think of it, I remember that article now. I think I was about 17 at the time. I think my response was probably, "ah... who cares, that crap doesn't apply to me, I'm going to London to snag myself some gorgeous English guy with great hair."
And I did end up going to London, snagging said gorgeous English guy with great hair, and then dumping him four months later. Many years later, I ended up getting hitched at the ripe old age of 33 to an even more gorgeous American guy with even greater hair. To boot, on our wedding day, my hubby was still in his twenties--A YOUNGER MAN! So... fooey on Newsweek, the goofy t*rds.
That article did upset my older sister, though. But... she's a 400 lb cat lady, so a lot of things tend to upset her.

Since Newsweek means as much to me as a dead mosquito, I don't expect an apology.

Typical bitter feminist, for obvious reasons.

Well, at that age I had a certain low cunning, but I was anything but smart. Just ask Bacon! ;) You really don't want me answering that one. :)

I suggest that anyone who was traumatized by some wacky magazine piece , such as the "Newsweek" article, probably has bigger problems at work. Indeed.

"It failed to acknowledge that our generation felt far less social and financial pressure to marry in our 20s, or before the right person came along."
It also probably fails to note how many MEN of said ages were still unmarried.
Or was their point that no matter what, 40yo men still get the pick of 20yo girls?

The reason possibly being they aren't satisfied with the males they're experiencing.

Shoot, I just turned 33 and have no intention of ever marrying a woman over 30. My dating experiences have pretty much influenced me to believe that almost all women over 30 who are childless and haven't been married are that way for a reason.OK, not to inject any icky ol' logic into the situation, but ... ;-)
Would you agree with the following statement? "Almost all men over 30 who are childless and haven't been married are that way for a reason."
If not, why not?
