Search Results: waiting to date

I'm a 24 yr old premed applying to med school this year, entering school in Fall 2021. I have 14 months of 'freedom' left. Long story short, I've read that female docs have difficulty marrying if they wait til after school to prioritize relationships. What is the best way to about finding a long-term bf/fiance? Another goal of mine is to learn about investing in stocks, and become a content creator, and I also really want to get a job after COVID, to save as much as I can to invest into index funds. I have 0 debt from undergrad, and may graduate med school debt-free (if I get into my state school). I'm trying to learn about finance now so I can set up my future financial security. I also think now is an ideal time to date. I hear all this stuff about how a women is most desirable in her 20s, xyz... I often get mistaken for a high schooler though, I look quite young for my age but still. I know fertility decreases as you age, etc. I read an article which featured comments from female physicians who regretted waiting so long to prioritize relationships. I also read articles stating that men don't want someone who makes more, so my hope is that I can find a man that makes a good amount, because I won't be having any income in med school, or residency (50k before tax, I think), so hopefully even though I'll eventually make 6 figures, he won't be scared off. Oh, I should probably add that I'm an abstinent Christian who doesn't believe in cohabitation. So the 'stakes' are higher for me to choose the right person, because I won't get to see them 'at their worst' or 'in their natural habitat' before marriage. Any tips? Should I 'target' a 30 yr old, a 34 yr old? Should I try to just look for people my age? Where should I be meeting people who are looking for long-term relationships/marriage? And my church doesn't have eligible bachelors, it's family-dominated.

My aunt was raised with overprotective parents. They wouldn't even let her sleepover not even with a female friend. She would secretly date her HS sweetheart. Her uncle caught them making out once and made a big scene, dragging her all the way home, yelling about how that's not how young ladies behave, told her parents about it, etc. She got banned from seeing her boyfriend. Her parents were too focused on her waiting till marriage, never drinking nor smoking, that type of upbringing.

Result:
She didn't wait till marriage.
Her HS sweetheart wasn't her first and only boyfriend ever.
She was into parties for a bit as an adult, enjoying the freedom she never had.
She married her 4th boyfriend, a very liberal man.

Liberal/permissive style
She and her husband only had a daughter and she was raised in the liberal manner. She was allowed to go on camping trips and excursions (far from home) with friends, went out on a date at the age of 14 for the first time, didn't have a curfew and at the age of 16 got lectured about safe sex. My aunt didn't want to make the same mistake her family did to her.

Result:
She got pregnant at the age of 18 with her 3rd boyfriend.
Her ex boyfriend still pays child support and is in contact with the child often.
She's now 27, married with another guy and they have 2 kids.
My aunt and her husband thinks they exceeded on her liberalism.

Obviously neither extreme is good but which do you think is worse? Overprotective or very liberal parents?
