Kind of need a man to do the bits she wants though!
Mow the lawn?
Put up shelves?
Wire a plug?
That sort of thing?

Yeah I spose that would be helpful, she also wants a grandchild so if I can remember correctly you need a man for some of that too

Technically you just need a small donation...

Clock is ticking for women and you get to that point where you start thinking you'd better do something with your life. CBA to go out shagging loads of women these days, quite happy to stay in snuggled down with her, a film and a bottle of nice wine

I'm in the same situation
, although I'm 31, she isn't nagging me though but I know by the way she talks sometimes that she would like a grand child, thing is I'm just don't feel like I'm ready to settle down yet, I would like to become a bit more financially stable, since hitting 30 though it has seemed to set off a few alarms bells in my head, you tend to go into to panic mode for a bit when you know you on the run up to 40 
, your know what I mean in a couple of years .

Yep, done the drinking, freedom, free living thing, now with my fiancée and locked into a mortgage (quite literally locked in with this credit crunch crap) and now she wants kids, though im sticking with not yet
Both in full time jobs with prospects of moving up in the world too, both recently had quite big payrises (though mines yet to kick in >_<) so things are looking good
Might look good now but you're gonna wish otherwise in a couple of years.
I feel the same, yet I'm only 19. Having a quite night in with a good bottle of wine doesn't seem to fit student ettiquette here.quite happy to stay in snuggled down with her, a film and a bottle of nice wine
Your 19 get a grip man!
You have years of forced companionship and endless nights of boring converstaion in later life.
Next you will be saying...
"I'll have to pop back and post later on as my girlfriend wants to go and look at shower curtains at B&Q as its sunday"
There comes a point in every mans life when you think to yourself.
I could go clubbing but its cold and raining outside and theres something on TV which I really wanted to watch. Normally about dangerous jobs or massive buildings or something.

lol, i'll just keep it from being boring then...but wine..nom.
status anxiety
Everyone seems worried about where they are relative to their peers in life - especially women. If a girl has loads of friends who've had kids but they themselves are still single then they get really stressed about it.
The age thing doesn't work well for women either - they're basically a depreciating asset whereas the opposite is sometimes true for men. Look at any dating site women in thier mid 20s will be looking for guys from their mid 20s to their mid 30s - conversely very few men in their mid 20s would be interested in women in their mid 30s.

The reason is that you don’t have to go looking for a shag, its available twenty four hours a day, know what I mean.
I think it was Martin Clunes on men behaving badly who said "When there's always biscuits in the tin where's the fun in biscuits?"
Thats what everyone says.
After 13 years of marriage I can honsetly say that if you think this then you are doing something wrong

I'm 35 and happily single, I don't have any urges or plans to settle down, but a lot of female friends and work colleagues do go on about time running out etc. Where as a lot of my male friends both single and in relationships don't seemed bothered or are not willing to admit it.
