happy369: from my point! all my friends are married or have kids, i chose a different part, i chose to leave my country and travel most of them live their lives precariously through me and often asks about my adventures i think its a bit of envy from both sides, as i do envy what they have otherwise i wouldnt be here
DaShoe: To me it shows that she's picky or just has not me the right person. I don't think it's bad a all!!
Yes,i am picky.. I have lots of colleagues like me,has different point of views.. They said,single life is a worried free inspite of children that they have. Accept the consequences. Be open minded. Hence,they broke their marriage life.. Not bad at all and n0thing to despair.. Compatibility is what we look for.
I don't think they're "bad", not at all. I'm not a religious man and "marriage" is a concept formulated by religious entities. Having said that, a woman (and man) is better off to have "paired off" and have kids (if they're going to) well before 30. Nature demands performance at certain times of our lives and contemporary notions or fashions can't ignore that.[/quote
SORRY TO SAY BUT THIS IS COMPLETE NONSENSE and a little-bit cheap to act like you are a big modern world boy but in the same time say that marriage is a concept formulated by religious entities.It is just not true. Until the Middle Ages, marriage was purely a legal/social matter. Later on the churches get more and more involved because people like to feel "there is more" and that is going on till today. Even atheist ask for a free lance pastor or reverend to bless their wedding.
What is more important is that what culture teach us. And believe me.... in so many cultures, including those in Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and even the usa, grandma have much more to say than what ever church or religion.
Being 30 years and older is not what mr usa citizen think or contempt or say about, but what the elder, grandma, grandpa and relatives say about. Being 30 and still single is about not done and maybe evil is involved. NOT MY THINKING but it is 2013 real life, believe it or not.

Maybe you are the lucky girl in dakbayan sa Mandaue (Cebu) and maybe you are the rich girl and not have to sacrifice for your family, but for sure many many girls in the Philippines and her family consider themselves very old or left over if they are 30 - 35 years old. Aaah don't mistake me, for me I hope every person on earth will fall in love so much and feel the compatibility in partners so much. But fact is that culture and traditions are very important also in today's world and for sure in the Philippines as well.
