Single ladies, how do you respond to "why aren't you married yet?"

In terms of regional differences: I find that 23-25ish is the common age for peeps to get married where I live now (NE Ohio). Most marry within a year or so of graduating college.

However, I grew up in So Cal, and I find that none of my longtime friends from that area (SD/LA/etc) were engaged or married before 28 or so. I had a friend ask me if my engaged 23 year old sorority sister was "super religious or something."

That was pretty much the crux of what I was getting at. I even mentioned coastal California!

See, I grew up in the Bay Area and a HUGE number of people I knew from HS are married or engaged already. I wouldn't expect that from that area, but there ya go. Actually....now that I think about it, a lot of my hs friends are married/engaged but most of the people I knew but didn't hang out with are still single. Hmmm...
