Why does it take women longer to find the right guy? Today society is gravitating toward living in cities. Technology let's us connect no matter where we are. Social networking gets you more dates and invited to more social gatherings. For women having a career in an urban environment where we are constantly around technology it's hard to settle down and get married. I believe living in urban environments, active social networking, engaging in increased dating partners and women's careers are contributing factors to the delayed age at first marriage.
Decline in age at first marriage means people are waiting longer before they get married. According to the US census report cohorts of people born in 1935-1939 and 1975-1979 are waiting until they are older to get married. Age at first marriage has changed so that men and women wait longer to get married, however, more people are getting married. It would be interesting to predict what the age at first marriage will be in 10 years. Careers are thriving for woman now more than ever before. It makes sense that these days women wait to get married as apposed to 50 years ago when women would marry young. There are a lot of responsibilities that come with marriage. Career focused and driven women are more likely to wait.
Today there's a tendency for people to live in cities and get married later on in their 30's. Most people say that raising kids in an urban city is a bad idea. Thus, people who live in Manhattan take longer to start a family. The city life is so fun that it's hard to leave it. It's also more expensive to live in cities with kids. The cost of space goes up and kids need more space to grow up in. Our nation's natural resource crisis has caused more people to move into cities to share resources like public transportation. It makes more people get married and not have kids or raise their kids in a cramped urban environment.
The longer you date the less chance you have to get married. Dating websites help people hook up. Technology makes real life interactions easier to coordinate and makes you more social. Social networks like Facebook help people stay in touch and find out about local events their friends are going to. Social networking probably contributes to the delay of marriage. It's easy to speed date online, find people with similar interests and meet up with random people from social networks in real life.
A successful career driven woman can make it on her own without a man to support her. Thus, successful women have a greater tendency to stay single longer if not their whole life. Many men and women are more focused on their careers than their love life and often they prefer to have short term commitments, date around and be hyper social. They hold on to the fun single life for longer and often decide to never marry. There are fewer rewards career driven women will get from marriage.
I don't think there is a problem with delay of age at first marriage in recent times. If there are any problems in this area it's women getting pregnant, having children and raising them as a single mom in their teen and early twenty years. If you are planning on having kids it's probably best to wait until you have the resources to start a family. It's possible to have a career, embrace technology, be social and get married. Do you think that is what we want? What do you think women want in a man? Are there fewer options or do you think it's our urban lifestyle that makes finding the right man so difficult?
