They don't. It's usually family and those from more traditional standards that do. They really need to stop with that because more and more people are not waiting for marriage to have sex and most people do not want to get married. It is not about finding but SHOULD you be sexually involved with another person? Jesus said there are those who are called to marriage, others who are not, and those who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom. A lot of people shouldn't be having sex from what I am seeing, but that is not going to stop people. You also have to remember there have been dramatic changes and anybody who wants to judge me, they need to look at themselves first. I didn't have the proper opportunities that I personally needed to get married and to have a person. I personally didn't want to get involved with a guy on that level. But when I was open to a relationship, I ended up getting shamed and damaged by other damaged males with low self-esteem.
However, it is better to marry young while you can because you are more healthier and is able to have children usually unless you have a medical condition or you are infertile. Then you can't do anything about that. But if you think today was bad, back in ancient times depending on the culture or society, if you are not able to conceive you weren't eligible to get married. SO given with this covid especially, there is indeed much pressure because now again, most men claim they want women less than 30, while also not being too steller themselves. So I say it depends on what your reasons are to get married. Simply put. There are not enough eligible partners, just many who more and likely won't be compatible.

That person is an oddball.
I'm 15 years older and I see no reason for ANYONE at ANY age to hurry up and get into any kind of relationship.
Take your time, know the person as best you can before launching into anything. This is advice I give my own son who is 26.
I personally would like to be with someone, but right now, recovering from a crisis and it's not the time! You'll know when it is for yourself and you'd feel if a person seems like they right for you in other ways.
It does sort of take lightning to strike. Wear rubber boots so you won't get burned!
Perhaps this person is in a good relationship and wishes the same for you. Well, his good relationship is not a universal. I've heard the same from a neighbor who's very happy with her spouse and said, oh you need to find a man, aren't you looking?
No. I'm not. Got loads of other things I need to do first. It will happen at the right time. Then Take your time too!
I think it's super healthy not to be desperate or rush. Even if you're desperate and get a girlfriend, it could still be for the wrong reasons, which could be worse than not having one at all.
Not to mention that being desperate really subcommunicates a bunch of terribly unattractive things about you. Women are super smart and intuitive when it comes to things like that. They'll know. There's such a huge difference between a confident/ emotionally stable guy and a desperate guy.
Not being desperate is a great first step. But you also can't wait and expect women to fall in your lap either. You have to make efforts to approach them while simultaneously not being desperate. This is hard if you haven't been with a moman in a long time/ ever, especially for younger guys. But this ability comes from life experience, knowing your values and what you want clearly, and repeatedly practicing taking those risks so you become detached from outcome and talking to women isn't a grand mystery anymore.
But yeah my guess is older people just grew up in a time when their cultural norms were to get married much earlier (read: much more competitive dating marketplace from an earlier age, plus probably more sexually conservative/ hooking up is harder) and it gives them anxiety when someone is 30 and not trying to get married ASAP.
I saw Boomer moms devastate their daughters lives. No wait. No wait. Ride the CC until you’re 30. Get it out of your system. Get a job and make a lot of money so you’ll only be satisfied with the top 5% of men who could really care less about you since they have their pick of nice women in the bottom 95%.
All I see now are miserable Gen X women. Out of about 40 women in my peer group, maybe 3 had a successful relationship and marriage over 10 years and kids.
Everybody else, their pair bonding with their husband and kids was wrecked by joyfully riding the CC year after year. Mom is old and tired and overworked and kids are a mess.
All of those Gen X women are now
1. Single never married, no kids
2. Divorced Single mother
3. Married, alcoholic, no kids, married to a drunk.
No exceptions. Good luck with that program if you’re on it.

Maybe because they know that people tend to get less attractive as they get older. Lots of men , especially young men tend to think that the dating game is the same at 30 as it is at 40. Its really not. By the time you're 40, you probably would look much less attractive that when you were at 30. Everyone around you would be married or engaged or with kids. Most of the women willing to date you would be with kids or baggage.
The older you get the harder it is to find a partner because most people have picked their mates. If you do find a mate at an older age they will probably have more baggage such as children, past bad relationship experiences etc. Also two peoples income is better than one when it comes to affording bills. It’s also good to have someone in your corner when life gets tough.
First, all the good girls will be gone and you will be lift with the nuts or the mom with kids. Second, you are three years from getting married if you met her tonight most likely. Then a year or two to have the first child and a year or two to have a second. That means you will be paying for college into your late 50s. Wait longer and you are in the 60s and that would suck.
Just the facts, no hate. He is looking after you and giving life advice.Lol not my mother, my mother doesn't want me to marry early, but I want to if I had the mindset or the perfect person to marry at 18 I would.
Not something that I have ever seen much of. First off I think the word pressure is wrong as without some kind of leverage it would be hard to pressure anyone
Most mean well but as for me, I'm not going to pressure anyone younger into getting married. I've been there when I was younger. That's their business on what they want to do with their marital status and the sooner peeps accept that, the better.
Who wants kids in 60's? I think if you want to marry , do it in 30's. Before SHTF and everything fails. Plus you will have less available women as you age. You will only have ho's and bitches , and ugly women by age 50 to marry.
I agree, young men need to push back and explain how "dating" and relationships have changed.
If someone says "you should get married" you can reply with "ok, but only if you will pay for the divorce".Probably so they will LIVE to see their grandchildren lol
That's just how they were taught so they assume it's the proper way
People learn these morals from their family and every culture is different.
Because they are stuck in the past, humanity on earth has maybe 50 years left and a lot less if the present overpopulation continues
Maybe they just want them out of the house? No reason to get married, it’s not for everyone
Time flies faster than you think.
They have experience.
I e never heard of such a thing
Perhaps they want kids before it’s too late
Who gives a fuck why?
