Does the pool of good potential partners start declining by age 25?

I'm this age and have heard this from a lot of people lately, as I'm currently single.

What do you make of it?

No, I think that if anything, many people start to really grow up and figure out what they want in their late 20's and 30's, which tends to make them better marriage material, or at least better relationship material. At least that's how I see it.

I heard the same thing from some people when I was in my 20's, but the people who told me that were from an older generation. Most of that generation married in their early 20's. Things are different now.

@TeresaRudolph71 I appreciate that perspective on it sincerely. It feels like I'm being inundated by the messaging, so glad it's not just me.

And I share your logic, which is why the advice from others feels so strange.

@YourBuddyRandall You're very welcome. :) I wonder how old those people are. 🤔 Perhaps some of them came of age at a time when people married much younger.

@TeresaRudolph71 A couple are older. But one guy is in his thirties and he got married young.

It feels good to know that I'm not necessarily failing life if I'm single right now. XD
