Marry a rich man for a while, divorce and get half. The American dream. I would suggest to men, and I didn't take my own advice but I would put of looking for a spouse until at least your 30s. Date, sure but you don't even know your own self until at least then.

Hmm. I had 3 children by the age of 30 and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. My oldest is now 21. My younger brother is just now having his second child at the age of 40 and he regrets waiting so long. His children will never have a relationship with either side grandparents (makes us both sad) …he also is just kind of an older dad and doesn’t have the same level of energy as younger parents. My two cents is we as a species have been having children for thousands of years .. we are meant to have them when we are younger.

  Things are not the same as they were 21 years ago. > we are meant to have them when we are younger. Yes, women are meant to have them while younger. And modern (fertile) women are increasingly deciding not to have kids until much later. The biological clock doesn't tick the same for men.

    It does, but more slowly. Sperm quality decreases with age.

    The age clock still does. A 40-50 year old dad is not the same energy as a dad so where aged 20-35. Sure an 80 year can even father a child .. although let’s be honest he wouldn’t be much of a “dad”.

I'd rather say that on personal matters, it's best to be introspective as soon as you can before you start regretting the years passing by you. That was a big chunk of my 20s, living in a world of demands and obligations (very much like the post here describes.) I am still very indecisive but that's something I put up with. Being in relationships and marriage is honestly not a strict technique to follow. I leave the technique to my job, which I can turn off for the day.
