I'm glad someone agrees with me :o :lol:

Do you really think the pretty ones aren't taken first? I mean, the most attractgive young women might already have boyfriends or by married by the time I meet them, leaving the plainer ones for me. Surely the prettiest ones get asked out first, right?

The gender reversed version must also be true. The most handsome men would also be snatched up first, leaving the averager men for the rest of the ladies.
I see a lot of pretty women who are beyond 30 and single still.
They must be waiting for a really special sort of guy :o


One thing I notice about those though (the good looking ones and beyond 30), is that they suddenly get into a a very serious relationship and once they do they escalate things fast .....very fast to marriage.
One day they're single and complaining about it, and in no time...BOOM!...they get married!

Like they meet someone, they date for a couple of months, they get engaged then they get married ....like within 6 months and so- and then they pop out a baby at first year. Turbo speed.
This might be cultural specific, but it's puzzling to me still.

Really? For some of the people I know, it's the early 20s crowd who get married less than a year after they met but the 30s ones take 5 or 6 years to get married. I only know a few dozen people though.
