im 22 so i have a bit longer before we enter that phase of life but yeah

ik for a fact i want to get married but just because i enjoy being exclusively romantic with someone not for every other label, ik that finances are a big thing in marriage too but you should already know what you’re getting into regardless

Boomer reasoning

Take me out the trap take me off the market take me off the map

Theres a quote in The Departed when Alec Baldwin says "Marriage is an important part of getting ahead; lets people know you're not a homo. Married guy seems more stable. People see the ring, they think 'at least somebody can stand the son of a b****. Ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work"

Hope that's not the case because I don't plan on proposing to my GF anytime soon.

@Caun murdered anyone because hes a P****

i thought he actually quoted James Baldwin

Getting married before you’re 23 like a lot of people still do is easily a worse decision that not as many people talk about because it was the norm in society for vast majority of human history

I can definitely see it being tough not being married in your 30s if you’re single though. If you want a relationship, a lot of women your age will have been taken, and it might set off some red flags to women wondering why you’re single in your 30s. I don’t really see it being a big deal for career though.

I say this as someone who got married 2 years ago at 29

Yeah, but there’s a quote in The Departed when Alec Baldwin says "Marriage is an important part of getting ahead; lets people know you're not a homo. Married guy seems more stable. People see the ring, they think 'at least somebody can stand the son of a b****. Ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work"
Hope that's not the case because I don't plan on proposing to my GF anytime soon.

I wasn't expecting the movie quote lol but yeah I can imagine for some employers It's a thing. we're always being judged, professionally and personally. that's never gonna change

nobody actually addressed the point.

all u in here like "how could u get married just based on other ppls perceptions of u?" im w u like marriage is personal first n foremost

but the question is "does being married affect ur career" and lets be f***ing real here, s*** like job applications and promotions is largely determined by other ppl's perceptions of u. it's a perfectly fair question to ask.

but all u idiots just want 2 get off on being better than op so u moralize it n get on that "how could u get married for someone else opinion of u" tip so fast. not even realizing it's a tangent, not even directly tied 2 op

lmaoo damn i thought i was the only one

s***s mad stressful to even think about, i do the same s*** lol. everything about it just increases my anxiety haha

yeah i’d honestly love to do it that way just nice and low key

yeah facts haha. i know she really wants to and is waiting for it. i just gotta get over that anxious hump. but it’s hard

OP really used a movie as his justification

Some of you have permanent f***ing brain damage

Man you're the first person I met who can actually relate to how i feel, same as you i literally get so anxious and start worrying when i think about it 💀 i feel like i've built it to this insanely huge thing in my head

Nobody you’ve spoken to has anxiety ?

World is changing and marriage rates have fallen by a lot so no

Can you people stop basing lifes worth from television and movie quotes

I'd say being on KTT in your early 30s is a hindrance

It’s because people who are married with children appear on paper to have some stability and looking for something stable as well.

No, I know plenty of people that are well over 30 and not married and doing very well professionally

I live in Atlanta, being married don't make you not gay bro

But then the divorce rates say people have trouble staying loyal or making good decisions

Jobs actually prefer that you’re not married so they can work you to death and you have no other responsibilities
