For the record, I was married when I was twenty, am still perfectly satisfied, and will be celebrating my twentieth anniversary this August.

Things are a bit different than 20 years ago in my opinion. 30 is the new 20. Woman are much more powerful and rightfully they should be. They are all over the workplace, they are more indepandant. I'm finding alot of women these days are far more interested in there careers than even most men are. I love what I do for work, but I work hard to play hard. I'd rather work less. It is all about making money for me. I then invest some of that money so I can work less. I think women work hard cause they love the power and security of knowing they can do it on there own, instead of money. They don't need us as much as they use too. I believe nowadays it is alot harder to find the right one and one should take a lot longer to move in, marry, etc.
I am driven by money and sex. Like most men, I'd say. Some just won't admit it cause it sounds more shallow then it actually is. Women I feel are driven by other variables like becoming more powerful and successful. They love the title more than men.
With that being said I'm sure one day I'll settle again. Just this time it needs to be right. I'm not doing what I did twice. It really messes you up for a while and it costs a darn good penny. This is another reason why marriages succeed most people are not willing to partways with the money they have.
