Actually on the news one day they said studies have shown that many "working class" women, AKA the one's who went to college and got their degree's and have a job better than retail or secretarial work, are basically not getting married or even looking for love until the age of 35.Originally Posted by feel the illinoise!
A few people said it was because the average life span of the woman is going up, so there was no point of settling down.
Other's said it was because many people in this day feel that you have to be married with a kid by the age of 35 and if you're not then you'll end up dubbed a work-a-holic and you have no time for love.
Saddly, culture's made it so that pre-teens and teens feel they need a "lover" by their side and the second one leaves they have to pick another one up. This ends up continuing until they find someone they truly love and if they don't and get married to a person they're "okay with being around for the time" they just give divorced and try again.
Due to love moving so fast with people now, Divorce is one of the most common legal filings happening, and it wasn't like this just 30 or 40 years ago. It's mostly because people feel the love, are together for 4 months then say "let's get married" then after 2 years they realize they just liked each other's company at the time and/or they just loved them for other things.
I'm more used to hearing people go "I'm getting married!" "Really? To who" "Blah Blah" "How long have you two been together" "We've known each other for 3 years but we've been dating for 3 months"
Instead of "How long have you two been together" "We've known each other for 5 years and have been dating for 3 years"
And not to mention, in this day and age, people who are over a certain age and have been dating for like 2 or 3 years automatically get dubbed as "probably not going to get married" which I find to be completely stupid on most parts.
