Women are Having Children Much Too Late These Days
. . . and The RestDiscuss just about anything besides Politics and Religion! Discuss sports, pop culture, computers, videogames, welcome new members, wish someone a happy birthday. Or just chit chat!
Everyone is different, just as long as you do something well, that is important, to have meaning in your life. You can be a liberal, but do so with style, be your best. My issue with communism is the only good job with that philosophy is being an autocrat or a weird college professor, bending the ears of kids who when they make a good salary will laugh about you.
What is the definition of "with it"? I am 27 now and not pregnant yet, my husband is 30. I don't see a problem with it really. My mother was 29 and my dad 32 when I was born. I never felt they were old. My grandma had her last when she was 42 years old and she grayed very early (her hair is white). I know she was often mistaken for my aunt and uncles grandma which she didn't like at all!
Have children now, 27 is a good age and if you are 40 when you child is 13, perhaps you will not look like an old person from a past generation and you could have another before 30! I had my last in early 1972, I was born in 11-41, so I was getting up there myself. It seemed i could get into my 60s born children, as I was not so approaching middle-age.
I do not know about your grandmother, a little colour helps. The grandmother image is someone looking like Hillary Clinton today, not an old woman wearing her hair in a bum and orthopaedic shoes, that is for old people in their late seventies, if at all these days.

We'll have a child whenever God blesses us with one.
My Grandma has never colored her hair. I don't know if she's ever even considered it. She's nearly 90 years old now so I don't think she'll start at this point. Her white hair is actually pretty. I hope mine is white like hers, rather than a dull gray.
I believe that the Universe is one being, all its parts are different expressions of the same energy,
and they are all in communication with each other, therefore parts of one organic whole.
This whole is in all its parts so beautiful, and is felt by me to be so intensely in earnest, that I am compelled to love it and to think of it as divine

I mean to address Ktoyou, Annabedennedetti (or whatever the heck her screen name is), and all of you other "women should get married and have kids early in life people":
G...ugh.
It's TOL. I can't use bad language, and I can't use super polemic language.
Ok. You say that women should have kids and get married early. Fine.
Just pointing this out, though:
I'm nearly a 21 year old male (will be September 19, 2009). I have yet to have a real girlfriend, and that...probably...won't change any time soon...and my complete inadequacy with woman causes me an immense amount of emotional pain in my life. I think about women and I feel such a sense of...loneliness, failure...and heck, I look OK nowadays. I'm better off than I was in high school...women actually talk to me on occassion. Throughout high school (which is, presumably, when you'd have women getting ready to settle down)...chicks didn't even give me the time of day.
If women are supposed to settle down and have kids when they're young, then for all intents and purposes, I would be condemned to a life of loneliness.
Is that what you're advocating? Am I supposed to spend my life alone?

I'm sure there are many young ladies at your church, Tradio. Does your church have social functions?

I wondered about that; a woman nearly 90 should do as she pleases; people need to respect a person that age. I respect them even if they outright insult me, go figure, they are too old it argue with and deserve better.
I know some women keep their hair, I am so lucky and I do put a little colour in mine, but not to look like I am 45, that would be silly.
I wish you luck on having children, mine were a blessing and now they are older and my grandchildren are growing up and have their own ideas, strange as they my be. One thing I like about here is I know some persons just old enough for me to understand and I get ideas how to see my grandchildren’s ideas. This world is a bit strange to me; I guess it will seem stranger if I live much longer. I would have liked being old, if not sick, I like the country life.

I don't go to church regularly any more. And when I do, I go to a Catholic church.

Yes, I gathered that from your Catholic listing in your profile. What does that have to do with meeting young ladies at your Catholic church?

Uh...idunno. Catholic congregations aren't "social" in the same way that Protestant churches are.

I see a change in you for the better and yes, you look fine. What you might be missing is your attitude; I mean to be polite here, many women, even college women with a high GPA, do not care for the intellectual show-off act, as they might perceive it. Women like men with good settled personalities, men who are easy going not introverted self-seeking types. Try being at ease with college women, make casual remarks about things and do not explain philosophical things to the last degree. The at ease casual man is seen as approachable and having a sense of humour helps. You can always hang out with men and do the intellectual trumping game because men care far more about being competitive with each other. Most women think it is rather weird.
That is this old woman’s advice, give it a try, I bet I am right.

Actually, my cousin is already 51. Her oldest child is now 34. And her oldest grandchild is 18 (the one that made her a grandmother at 33).
