I am also a married 24 year old man who got married two years ago. It's entirely true. Well, we just end up watching the move then going to sleep, but... mostly true...

I don't know. I got married at 22 as well, and sometimes I wonder if I haven't missed out on the fun of having a few relationships that just... ended, with no hard feelings, no big breakup, just two people who had a good time and that was that. And I definitely miss the fun of the chase, sometimes.

Then I remember that my wife likes it if I bring home pretty young girls, so really I should quit complaining even if it is a little harder to find pretty young girls who want to come home to meet the wife :)

25 and engaged with a lil girl knocking at the door, things have gotten pretty "normal"

I got married at 34. Do you guys have any idea how much whoring and hangovers you can get in in 12 years?

No little girls (or boys) yet. I'm sure that will make things even more normal.

I occasionally wonder about that, then I remember that I didn't really date much anyway. I don't think I missed out on anything.

Didn't really understand that last paragraph....

I'm a 24 year old single man and I sure enjoy my freedom to "play the field" but at the same time I have many friends who are married/engaged and enjoy that life very much. I'm sure marriage is a wonderful thing when you find "the one" but you can't expect it to come at a certain time in life for everyone. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to happy hour. Heck maybe I'll find "the one" there lol

I don't drink or whore around. So...

My favorite question to ask people who say that:

"What's the name of the girl who screwed you up?"

But really I jest. You just seem to be waiting on the right one. So I get it.

I think the thing that gets me is that I wasn't as good at it back then as I would be now. Although at least I finally seem to be old enough that I've stopped attracting seriously underage girls in hordes - that was a bit embarrassing sometimes, because I didn't want to be rude, but by the time it started happening to me I was way too old to do anything except let them down gently. I'd have killed for that when I was 15 :)

As for the last para, let's just say I'm lucky. My wife only considers it cheating if I don't bring them home for her to enjoy as well.

The second paragraph again? I seem to be confusing people tonight :)

I'm probably just lazy.

Sounds complicated.

We're just in denial. We all know what you meant, but we don't believe such a situation exists.

9:30 sounds like the perfect time to leave a party. I need some time to get home, play a couple rounds of Forza, and then get ready for bed. (Married @ 24)

Im 27 and engaged to a way younger girl, that party shit is just getting started unfortunately for me, but fuck it, as long as she is happy, i'll deal with these young douchers for a couple more years :]

Well if you marry a bisexual girl, it would be deeply unfair to force her to give up half her sexuality, wouldn't it? Really, I'm only thinking of her...

It has its upsides and its downsides. I wouldn't pretend relationship stuff gets easier with three people involved. As a one night stand, though, it's good fun.

I'm 24 and single. Alone and hungover is some sort of daily routine.

I think it's an Ian Banks novel with an ageing rockstar, desperate to prove he's still got it, managing to bang two hot groupies before Dark Side of the Moon finishes, just like when he was a kid - then remembers afterwards that when he was a kid he diddled them both before getting up to change the record halfway through, but now it's on CD and played all the way through.

Not sure why that's relevant, but it sprang to mind :)

The trick is to set them on each other while you recover for a bit.

It's hard, primarily because they are so fucking stupid lol :]. One can only take so much "bro" in an evening. I've been a mechanic for most of my life. I traded parties for tools and a garage. I can relate ZERO things to a 17-25 year olds for the most part. Simply because I have soo much trust and faith in my hot little lady, I dont stress when she's around having a little fun. Besides, what the hell are these skinny jean, hair over one eye, bracelet wearing turds going to do to a 250lbs monster like me lol. Just keep her safe, provide as best you can, and love her dude. All will be well I promise.

I'm 31 and am only now getting married, I drank and whored my way around Europe and America the last 9 years and can say with out a doubt that I'm marrying the best girl in the world. I have a lot of data to back that claim too... A lot of wonderful data. I have no regrets.

Never get married. It's a sucker's bet.

Kinja'd!!!

Married at 36. Spent the better part of a decade travelling the world, having sex with some very lovely ladies (sometimes more than one!), and generally being awesome.

No way could 23 year old me hold down a marriage. I couldn't commit to a phone contract.

Saying that though, I know a few couples who married at 21 and have a great marriage. Horses for courses...

I'm 23 and... well, the amount of Hot Wheels I own should speak lots about my "love" life. Or lack thereof.

Whatever, I do what I want.

By 24, I will likely already be married, but I approve of everything in the post as well, even being 22 and not married yet (though little does she know the question is coming up)...

I don't party, so leaving at 9:30 is all gravy for me, the lady doesn't mind going home early, falling asleep on the couch, and calling it a night...

Neither of us drink or party, never have actually. Meanwhile, one of my "young and dumb" co-workers gets shitfaced like it's going out of style, then complains he has no money, never gets any sleep, and his performance at work is way below par, it isn't even funny anymore. I just don't get it, then I remind myself I don't want to...

I was slightly shy and didn't date much, then I spent a year hiking mountains in Afghanistan and getting shot at, that put things in perspective. I got back and didn't have a fuck to give, whored and drank my way through a mess of semi-relationships with varying qualities of women, now doing a second stint of gunfight at the Talban corral, and all I want to do is go home and find a companion who gets me. Oh, bonus points if she hoons a nice whip.

"Varying qualities of women"

Oh yeah. We've all had that discussion.

This one girl in NYC, she was jewish, curley black hair, super green eyes, going to med school, two glasses of wine and I was in love.

This one girl in Killeen, Texas, she was a divorced mother of two who drove a Nissan Cube and was covered in tattoos.

Gotta taste all the flavors, ya know?

I always had a "type" till I met my wife. She's different from any other girl I've ever dated and I couldn't be happier.
