Sweetie, there is no age that most men settle down. It really depends on the man. I am engaged right now and fiancee will be 28 by the time we get married. There are several of his peers that are already married and some of them that are still saying they will not get married before they are 40!!! LOL. When the right guy finds you, you will both be ready, no matter how old you are.

No one knows for sure when anyone is ready to settle down, man or woman. Maturity levels differ in different people.I have seen men at age 18 ready to settle down, but that is rare. I have also met 40 year old men who are very immature and probably will never be ready to settle down. If i were you when i dated someone i would become friends first. Then i would find out how he feels about his mother.If he loves and respects his mother then he will love and respect other women. Don't jump into anything, when the time is right you will know. Ask lots of questions.

First, don't rush into starting a family and settling down. I made the mistake of hurrying up and tying the knot, I thought noone could ever possibly want to marry me with the f'd up family I had, so I jumped on it. I don't regret having my daughter, I was definitely ready for that, but the whole attachment with a man, big mistake!!! I don't think you can put an age on when someone is ready to settle down. Men never grow up, so unless you want to have two kids from jump, I suggest you let the right man come to you. Going out looking like that will force you into meeting someone quickly and I just don't want you to make a rash, on-the-spot decision just because you think you're ready. When the right man COMES TO YOU, you can then decide if you're ready. Enjoy life right now, cause once you have kids and start a family, these kind of fun days come far and few between...Good luck!

That depends on the man. I was ready to settle down at 28 but I did not find the right woman. Some men, mind you will never be ready! You have to avoid these guys no matter how much you like them (I'm talking to you as if you were my sister --I would not want my sister to be chasing some guy who never took your desire for marriage seriously).
Stats show that most men marry at 26-27, but its steadily going up every year. In general men from 27 and up are AS A GROUP more ready to settle down. I say as a group because there are many variations in that group.
I think the best question therefore is not "at what age are men ready" but is the man YOU like and are dating ready? The specific individual who is ready will show signs of it. Being responsible in terms of planning, of career, not being unresponsive to you about possiblity of marriage (after youve dated for a while its fair to talk about it but not in the first few weeks !!) , also has the outlook of a grown up man (ie is not out partying it up several times a week with the boys, like some college kid who just realized mom and dad isnt going to find out etc). From myself and other men I know I can tell you that though 27 is around time most marry, the most mature and ready to marry (again as a group) are early 30s and up. Best wishes..

Well, there is no general age that guys start to marry or settle down. I would go for a guy that is a little bit older than the guys you normally date, because he will be more ready to have a serious relationship. If you go for younger, good looking guys, who like to "play the field" then you are not looking in the right direction.

Also, don't come off as desperate or overly excited to get married and start a family....this may scare a guy away.

Well sugar pie, ask their wives! I mean, who knows what makes guys ready or not? They're individuals. Each person decides that for themselves. Maybe you should re-evaluate where and how you're meeting men, and that should help weed out the booty-chasers and party boys. And for god sakes, don't tell any man that your clock is ticking--the best of the "settle-down" types would run screaming for the hills hearing that!

I'm not sure that age exists. Men are never ready to settle down . They get married for the steady squeeze. They end up having kids and have settling down forced upon them. Half of them anyway. The other half become the subject of questions here.

It reallt depends on the guy and how much fun he's gotton off his chest. Some men will never really be ready. My husband,now 26 is a complete family man,all the way but it seems like a rarity. We married at 21 and have had 3 kids.

I was 23, and just had my second child at 31.

From what I've seen, most males I knew either got married pretty early ... or wait a long time. If they didn't want to get married at 28, what's change for them at 32? nothing. When they do get married, they then marry younger women. On the other hand, I know plenty of guys who got married in their mid 20's to older women.

Tough question. There is no range or even a number for this but when a guy find the girl that he want to settle down then he will. For example, charlie sheen and miss. richard. Look what happen to them. Very hard to judge if guys are really to settle down.
