I hear some of women say that they want to wait until they're older to get married so that they can "get established in their career". That sounds bass ackwards to me, since it's harder to take time off from work at a point when your career is more demanding. Having kids also takes more out of you when you’re older, and the kids aren’t always as healthy. Finally, you have to consider the fact that older women are less desirable to most men than younger women are. Basically, men fall in love with young women. There's middle aged men who love their middle aged wives, but that's only because they fell in love with them back when they were young. I've actually heard of women getting married for their FIRST time when they're in their 40's, and having kids ... their kids will be born right around the time that they should be getting out of college.
And for God's sake, you're women, not "wymyn". Get that (feminist) chip off of your shoulder (those of you that are feminist, that is).
