Your point is taken and I suppose that's in the back of my mind. Even so, there are other advantages to staying single outside of the fun aspects you all are denied: putting the time into building your career without worrying about the strain long hours puts on a family, building a nest egg, you mentioned travel and there's most often a maturity that comes with age. Not just emotional, but in judgment. These are the things I wonder about.
