Lots of 26 year olds here (me too!). And I'm completely single, no boyfriend at all, getting my PhD in chemistry. Even my own family thinks that there must be something "wrong" with me because I'm not settled down and not really thinking about it seriously. But you know what...two years until I'm done with my degree and then I'm having some fun with the rest of my 20s!! Travelling, settling down where I want to (or not settling down)...I don't want to get out of school and immediately have a husband/children to care for. So I say to heck with the pressure...sure, the majority of people I meet seem to think I'm some sort of reject, but I'm very successful, doing what I love, and I'll be a Dr. soon. And I'm confident that when I finally do settle down, it will be the right thing to do, not just what everyone else thinks is right.
 
yah my grandma has been pushing me to get married. asking and prodding if i want to get married. and i don't really want to. don't want to think about it till i'm 30... how old were you guys when you all got married? because after that then they will hound you to have kids. it never ends!

I got married at 29 - 11 days before I turned 30, lol :p

No kidlets - no one hounds us; especially after we adopted our second Labrador - they just knew that when the 2nd dog came home there would be no children.

I got married at 29, also. I think it's a great age to get married.
 
I got married at 36. I think its better to wait until you're older. Your criteria is tougher and you won't settle for less. They have to have good credit, good job, own real estate, money in the bank, nice car, etc. Otherwise, why bother! LOL Plus their more self sufficient...a win-win situation!!

All you ladies in your twenties should embrace your youth and live it up!!!! I didn't get married until I hit 31 and that was definitely one of my better decisions. Don't let anyone pressure you into it either. Your life is what you make it, seize every opportunity!

I loved being in my twenties, I love being in my thirties even more. I am more comfortable with myself and I wish I had been so in my twenties!

Remember to be good to yourself, so enjoy that Spy Hobo!!
