At least when it comes to love and marriage I definitely think settling that in yours 20s is best, or being on course to settle it. I think dating becomes very hard after 30 and there are big generational gaps and I think the fertility industry is not a good solution. I think its sub-optimal trying to find a partner as you get older.
Ideally, the numbers Stanford listed (married at 26...) would have been preferable to me at least. It might be good to figure out why people miss that and figure out how to improve it rather than counting on the last resort of fertility treatments in your 40s.

It is a choice that these women make, so I don't think it can be "improved" unless different choices are taken.

- jprete 3y agoI understand the sentiment, but I think plenty of people do in fact need to "settle", because they have unrealistic expectations and are very unlikely to get what they want.
- neilv 3y agoWill a relationship more likely be successful, if they're not still thinking of it as "settling" by the time that they commit?
