This thread cracks me up, especially when people are saying "OMG, soon I will be 24 and people will expect me to settle down!" I know plenty of people who settled down because they thought they were "supposed" to and ended up divorced because they were so effing bored and miserable with their lives. Too bad they had already had several kids.

Then there are people who ARE ready to settle down at 20 and never have a regret. I don't deny they exist, I just don't think there are as many of them as there used to be, especially as our world in general gets smaller and it's easier to see what else is out there.

I don't feel the pressure I did in college to go out (from within myself, not from my friends) but I still love to - last night Mr 33 and I were out till 2 and outlasted all of the (younger) people at the table with us. If people are telling you you're too old to do this or that, they're the ones with issues, not you. Some people can't be happy with their lives unless they are criticizing the lives of others.

And one other fact to chew on....I am in my mid 30's and got carded at EVERY bar I went to last night. So I must be doing something right LOL.
