It's just a number

I find it funny and somewhat offensive that people assume that women are ready to settle down and have a family at a younger age than men. Maybe a fairly large majority of us really are ready to start poppin out kids at 20, but I think that a good amount of us are just as happy to wait to settle down as men are.

It used to be that you had to wait for a guy to mature and settle in and be in his 30s..I think that age has gone up. Now men in their 40s are looking for girls in the 20s to wife and have a family. I totally agree that men should wait til they are done spearing their seeds all over town and be "done" with it before they get married. What I don't get is, who ever made it a rule that girls don't want to do the same? 

When I was in my earlier 20s and in a long term relationship, I was convinced my biological clock was ticking. I was certain I could be married and have a few kids like TOMORROW. Then I opened my eyes and realized I was the furthest from it. Being single for the past few years and having literal freedom from being attached to someone has seriously made me think that I'm just not "done" yet. If I had to settle down right now, I think I'd feel very cheated out of the life I still want to live without having to answer to anyone. 

Or maybe I just have a male mentality...which I've been told before. Whatever it is, it's time to get out and soak my oats..or whatever it is you're supposed to do with your oats. 

Time to do what Linda has always wanted to do but was always too reserved and scared to do...live my life.
