When u guys wanna settle down? What qualities u are looking for?

[conanbdetective]

Settling down in the sense of having a family? Between 18-35. By 35, a kid or 2 should be on the way.

From a parenting perspective, the earlier a couple settles down, the easier it gets. Kids and parents wouldn't have a bigger cultural disconnect; so it's easier to relate to each other. Assume a couple has kids at around 25 a few years apart they'll be around late 40's by the time their kids graduate or start being fully responsible for themselves.

Any time past 40 is a tough period for having kids. Not due to difficulties with conceiving but with the age itself and the physical effort that it takes to take care of children. There's also a different stage of life where the parents are almost retiring while their children are possibly just entering the early stages of their working and adult life. That's where a disconnect can happen.

But this is more of a number-crunching way of thinking about it. As far as knowing yourself and being a good person for your family, that takes perspective and maturity. And getting that will take however long it takes.

This genuinely depends on the individual I think it’s better for someone to wait then settle down too early and either end up miserable or worse make someone else who doesn’t deserve it miserable.

People should never marry simply for the sake of being married. Unfortunately it happens all the time and the worst part is that many times they make someone believe they genuinely love them. When they don’t, they just wanted someone to marry to have kids and a family. As well as possibly pressure from family and just society wanting appearances as well as at times financial reasons.

These marriages end in disaster and the children get dragged through absolute hell. If there isn’t a genuine connection established cheating and affairs happen. As well as when someone or the other meets somebody that they do feel more attracted to. It’s the sad reality.

most people, regardless of the gender, look for marriage and all that around 30 i would say. though that does vary depending on social class, ethnicity, and how long you take for your edu & getting comfortable in your career.

personally for me i would say late 20s or early 30s would be the best, cause i guess that's when most people do it and when you're expected to but you also have most or all of your twenties to chill and enjoy not being cuffed permanently with kids. for the qualities i'd look for in a potential husband, i would say humor & being fun to hang out with, similar values and goals in life, kindness and loyalty. also i need to like how they look, they need to be hygienic and they should be pretty close in age to me.

[jennifer_bloom]

I wanted to wait until I finished my degree to settle down. Later I revised it to until I had finished my degree and had enough money in savings.

[AI Opinion]

I'm here to sprinkle some love wisdom! 🎉 Settling down isn't about age; it's about mindset and life goals. Some are ready in their 20s, while others prefer their 30s, 40s, or beyond. It depends on where you are in life and whether you've hit those personal milestones. Falling in love, career stability, and, of course, finding the right partner who gets you can make commitment tempting. Red flags fade when you meet someone and everything just clicks. So, when love finds you and you're ready, that's the age for you! 💑

Everyone is different. When you meet that person your happy with .
It all just starts coming together and if your on the same page you communicate that with each other...


Take your time because you need to make sure your both right for each other make sure what you want is the same as what he wants

[ohsheeT]

There comes a point in time when we say OK, I'm finished playing. It's time to settle down.

Work towards my future, so I am prepared if anything that happens. Buy a house, start a business

Like get married, have kids be prepared to be able to teach your kids. To become the person than you are with wisdom and strength and drive with kindness and love

To be able to take care of them the way that I need to
Be prepared for anything To be able to do the things that we want to do.
When we want to do them
You just be prepared for anything that happens. And whatever that might be, be prepared to take it on head-on. And always remember sometimes you might fail before you have Success but if you work together as one anything can be done.

There is no set age.
And it's when you're ready. To make that change

[OlderAndWiser]

We are all individuals with different collections of needs and desires. There is not "an age" at which everyone should be in a committed relationship and on a career path.

[Finchie40]

I guess it depends on the person and what their intentions are , and who they end up with ,

[SweetJoyGirl]

In general, middle twenties to late twenties, at least for women. For men, I guess it could also be the same, but also going into early thirties.

For me, preferably engaged by 24 and married by 25. That is out of my control, though.

As for qualities, a good Christian man who has similar interests (movies, shows, topics to talk about etc.), values, moral, and views as me.

[CrazyKittyCatLady]

In my opinion, while they can do so at any age, though I think mid to late 20s / early 30s is a good range when the brain is fully developed and you've had time to explore interests. This will help you know your values and what you truly want in life.

[Darklydarkened]

The economy is literally hostile towards young working class people. It's is objectively clear that, if you're a 24-25 year old person who supports himself through working, unless you have an elite job that only around %10 of the population manages to have, settling down and starting a family is not economically sustainable.

Particularly in Europe

So at what age you should settle down? Logically speaking, fucking never

[IslaTheWitch]

when they feel ready... there is no one age for everyone...

every person has their own timeline :D

[Nikki1989]

There is no right or wrong answer, but people should never settle for the first person who comes long unless they are 100% sure. Date many and dating often is the key to finding the right partner.

[Nik1hil]

Keep the peak at age 25..

Start the Bell curve at age 18 and end it at age 30..

After 30 passion to build and pursue relationship ends..

Besides it's all about having money and finding right person at right time

[Ferngully2000]

I think once you have had fun and got it out of your system. Some people settle down too early and divorce early because they haven’t lived.

I’d say early 30s for girls, late 30s for guys.

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

Age does not matter usually its if they get the best looking mate they can get. Nobody wants to settle and nobody wants their equal. Thats why girls in my looks league see me as uglier than they are because they chase and fuck hotter guys

[David_beckham]

I don't think that it's about "age." I guess most of the people are just looking for the right person and then will settle. What age does it just build an invisible pressure on the person to find the better half and nothing else?

[Ladsin2]

Women in their early to mid 20s. Men in their late 20s early 30s. Best possibility for success, and at peak of their attraction to the opposite gender. Also most likely to have success with child rearing.

[trumpetplayerforlife]

I don't feel like there is an actual age I feel like it's a feeling

[RedThread]

I have no set age. I'm 37 and still don't want to settle down. I think it's different for everyone.

[Anonymous]

Should settle down at 16 but most want to wait until the last possible moment when they have to.

[Joshydavid25]

Whenever they are ready or willing.. There's no set time honestly..

[Staximus]

I guess that depends on the person and what their goals are in life

[Asker]

It's a general question

[Staximus]

Well some people never meet the right person and some people don't want to have kids because they're too busy doing other stuff

[Staximus]

I would have settled down at 18 or 20 if I met the right girl

[Asker]

What do u mean by right girl? In term of looks?

[Staximus]

Not looks, you know what I'm talking about.. Personality, sincerity, honesty, etc

[Anonymous]

I think both girls and boys should start getting married in their 30s because I believe that the 20s are generally a time of adolescence.

[Anonymous]

Guys should want to settle down when he meets a woman capable of a lifetime commitment and not one second before.

[RossyBoi]

Never going to settle down ever. Single for life! 🙂

[beefcakebradybatson]

If I get a buxom broad between 21 and 45 !!!

[PaleDale]

Whenever they're both ready and if they really love each other

[robocop666]

I am 37 the dating game is drying up. Everyone is married.

[serious]

The answer to this is highly subjective.

[DryGermanGuy]

42 is always the correct answer. :-D

[Miristheiss]

Girls? 18-23

Guys? 20-33

[sophie123469]

Whenever they’re ready for it.

[masterSir]

[jahaims]

[smahala1991]
