Youth is an illusion. It gives you the impression that life is going to continue the same forever. After all, it has been pretty much the same since you remember.
Why not have fun while you can? Well, honestly, if you find the right person, it will be a lot more fun. Even finding someone that is close to the right person will be more fun. But most importantly, you may be setting yourself up for a failure later in life. I did.
It is only with age that you realize life changes - and somehow it seems to always get worse. As you get older, you realize your body is slowly failing. Eventually you come to the realization that you are that old guy you used to make fun of. In many ways, it is worse for women.
But honestly, it's not true that it always gets worse. In some ways it gets better. You earn wisdom. You meet wonderful people. You learn amazing facts. You discover talents and even pleasures you would not suspect existed.
My point is not that life gets bad. But it does change. You think you have forever but you don't.
So take my advice and plan ahead. Don't look for fun. You don't have the time. You need to start looking for Mr. Right or Ms. Right as soon as possible. Because the longer you wait, the harder it gets. The competition starts snatching up the good guys and gals. Before you know it, you turn around and you are competing with boys and girls 10 years younger that are not as laize-faire about finding true love as you were.
Chances are you still won't find them right away. Don't be surprised if you look for them for years. You can enjoy your time with serious men/women. It is NOT true that the worthy people are boring. People worth marrying can be just as fun as the one night stand folk.
But it is quite possible to wait till all the good ones are taken. Tall women do this all the time. They fail to understand that tall men are at a huge premium and get snatched up in five years. They turn around and find all the good tall men taken by the time they are 25 and start lowering their standards (but not for height...).
Men have a different problem. We live our lives dating attractive women and suddenly the women we are attracted to start calling us dirty old men.
Don't make that mistake. If you want to marry someone worthy of you you have to start looking EARLY. You need to snatch them up before they meet someone almost as good as you.
