My friend called me explaining she met this guy a few months back and they are gettiing married. She just turned 24, and she needs to get married now or else shes going to be in the category. I couldnt stop laughing at how stupid she sounds. I told her what category is that, she goes the one your in the loser with no boyfriend, and nothing in life. Mind you this girl barely lifts a fingers, so yes I can see where this applies and she thinks this way she needs a man to run her life, and wipe her rear when needed. Before hanging up I told her I would perfer to be the single loser with nothing, and have my own pair of pants, and life, then dependent on a man especially one I picked off the street with no feelings. I know a few months, years, or so it will all change. Shes comparing herself to others our age, who are just following the trends. Getting married right away, but how long will they last? in 1, 5, even 10 years where will they be?. I believe if your meant to be you will wait to get married, not follow the trends. I personally like being young and single I can do what I want, but also define myself. I know at my age even earlier you change, even my brother and his wife at 30 say the same thing, they got married at 29 / 30 they told my friend they wouldnt get married before then, they know so many who are now divorced, and single parents because of that. I just let her carry on and Im not going to tell her what I think. She will learn with time and mistakes.
