At what age do you think guys become more serious about dating and finding someone to settle down with?

What do you think is the average age when guys start to be more serious about relationships and move past the hooking up stage?

How old were you when you started getting serious about wanting to settle down?

*** When I say settle down, I don't mean getting married necessarily, just focusing more on serious, exclusive relationships

There is no rule on this. Every guys is different. I was in a serious relationship with a girl from 17 - 20 and then met the girl at 21 whom I would later marry, so I've been largely settled down since 17. But some guys have no interest in settling down until much later, if ever.

I think there are more and more guys these days who are never going to be interested in settling down. There's very little incentive or motivation to for men anymore.

Many young guys will want a serious girlfriend in their late teens - early twenties (18-25) but they are usually nice guys who are neglected by the girls they're attracted to. As for something more serious, like marriage, most guys only start thinking about it in their late twenties / early thirties.

Guys, unlike girls, are fertile for much, much longer which relieves us of the pressure from having to find a partner much earlier than thirty.

In my experience, late twenties. Which is why I date guys a little older than me :-P

It varies. I'm 22 and settled down - many guys my age aren't ready.

It's different from guy to guy. I am settled down now. I am 24 now but there are also 24 year olds and older who don't want to settle down.

It really depends on the person. I've always only wanted a serious relationship
