Settling down early

[Sub-Zero]

A lot of the people I know are settling down; having kids or getting married. And they are young still in there 20''s

What I'm worried about is how can I still do this if everyone is getting married, and settling down. I'm thinking I will be too old to do this.

Makes me feel like I'm the odd man out.

Sub-Zero,

I'm going to assume you're either in a suburban neighborhood or a small town, if this is the case.

If you were to move to a big city, you would find that there are people still single (and even partying) well into their mid 30s. It's really a matter of location when it comes to the average age that people are settling down. In a suburban neighborhood or small town, there's really not much going on once high school and/or college ends for kids, so generally they just date within their social circle(s) and end up knocking up one of the girls, settling down, and that's that.

In a big city, there's so many opportunities to meet new people that most people are much more picky about settling down, and hooking up is much more frequent. If you're starting to feel like you're too old for this for some reason, try vacationing in a big city (New York, San Diego, Miami, etc) and you'll see that there are many guys still gaming women, even when they are older.
