Despite knowing there are maybe a lot of people living with parents and single, I still feel like it's narrowing and that meeting anyone who is single is getting smaller as people are getting into their 30s. It always seems to come across to me that people start to rush things in their 30s when it comes to marriage, kids and so on.

I mean for people who do want kids and such, if they have not had them by their 30's they can be in a rush, as women can have menopause as early as 40 to where they would not be able to have a kid. so if they want one and havent had one by 30 it would make sense they sort of want to get on with it sooner than later. with a right partner of course but yeah. I figure if say me and my boyfriend broke up....and I was starting over dating at 35 I'd be running into a lot more potential partners that have kids or want them sooner than later so my requirement of not wanting kids and not wanting to be a step-mom, would certainly further limit my pool of potential dating partners. BUt there are still lots of millenial aged people who don't want kids but would like a meaningful long term relationship. But yeah for 30+ year olds who don't have kids but want them, for sure they may want to make that happen sooner than later and its ok if you don't want to commit to something like that....but there are also pleanty 30+ year old people who don't want children and don't already have any. Not every 30+ has kids or wants them.
