We’re going to have to take a stand somewhere, so let’s take a stand with the Top 30% of women, who have a natural inclination toward marriage and family.
Even today, with all the Feminist propaganda, there is a significant fraction of women who say that, around Age 16, they had the idea that they would be Married by Age 22 — basically the Courtship model, where women get married between 16-25, with 19-20 the peak years.
Basically, around Age 16, or maybe a little later, probably coinciding with first menstruation (which, in the 19th century, was commonly Age 16 or even Age 17), they get the idea that it is Game On and now it is time to stick a dick in there and make babies. Since these women still have a little civilization left in them, they naturally conclude that they should get married, first, and then get on with it.
Sadly, a lot of these women were unsuccessful, for a lot of reasons. Even a woman who actually tries to get married by Age 22, can easily fail. Many women who really did start looking for a future husband, from the start, around Age 16, can spend the next 10-15 years attempting to get into a monogamous “relationship” that is supposedly the precursor to marriage, and instead end up getting passed around by a lot of guys who were not very serious. The way off this Highway to Hell is basically No Sex Before Marriage, which makes Dating pretty dull, if premarital sex (“fornication”) is your goal.
So let’s appreciate here those women who, they say, really did hope to Get Married by Age 22.
