When is a good time to marry?
Just looking over my schedule and wondering when I will have the time to get married. I’m thinking about trying to squeeze something in around 35. I could push it a little earlier and get in around 32. That would clear up my schedule later in life, say around 38-39 to try again should the first arrangement not work out.
It seems as men get older it becomes more difficult for them to marry because they get so set into their single lifestyle. Or simply unwilling to change themselves to accommodate someone else. It also seems like the tables turn for men when they reach their mid to late thirties. They become the hunted and the woman the hunters.
Recently the single life has bored me and I could see myself settling in the next 5 years. Sure its exciting traveling around the world partying with models, but how much of that can a guy take? Of course when I see really beautiful women on the subway I decide maybe being a bachelor isn’t so bad.
On another note I’m not moving to San Francisco.

Ejovi,
This is a simple one - the right time to get married is when you find the right woman! I don’t think you can put on an age on it. Life isn’t so predictable, in my opinion.
When do you know you have found the right woman? When you like and care about her so much that you don’t make plans about what you will do if it doesn’t work out!
All the best,
Chris

Marriage is like a car accident, by the time you realize you are in it. Then after that its just about recovering from the crash.

Ejovi,
In my own humble opinion,the best time to start looking is now.This is crucial, especially if you are an entrepreneur.One thing I’ve come to realize is that the more I upgraded my self and my surronding,the more fake women I ran into and with time such thing clouds judgement.
Rearrangement should not even be what one expect out of the arrangement considering the baggages that accompanies it.If you anticipate going in at 32,start looking now and do your pocket,children,and future sanity a favor by not looking inside night clubs or party spots.
Cheers,
TJ

I hear you. I actually have no plans to get married but I am keeping my eyes open. I think the first step is having a girlfriend. I just have to figure out how to fit one of those into my schedule.

Well, I got married at 29, but I met her at 23 and we lived together for 3-4 years first.

Hello mate,
Dont worry about it. You will meet a girl and click. You will literally feel like best friends within the first week of meeting. Every other date I’ve been on before my current partner of two years was so awkward. Constant over-self awareness etc. Be careful not to confuse lust with love. When you truly love someone, you would happily take a bullet for her. When you lust after someone, u just wanna F*k her. Although when I met my current partner it was very much a whirlwind relationship, things do eventually even out. Confused over love? Remember this: Love is friendship set on fire!
have fun and don’t hunt. Life never goes the way you expect.
peace and Love
