Why is everyone married (or in a serious relationship)??

So I have over 100 blogs in my reader and the majority of them are bloggers who are in their 20's. Why then, I ask you, is everyone married??!!

I am turning 24 next week and just ended an almost 2 year relationship. I am so tired of the whole dating process. Every time I read blog posts about happily married 20 somethings, I get insanely jealous.

What gives? Is anyone else single out there?? I need some peeps here!

27 here and single but dating more than 1 person. Don't feel bad about being single because as I see it, i pretty much wasted at least 1 1/2 years of a nearly 2 year r-ship only to confirm that he was not a match for me. Not to be a downer on the many married young folks I do know, the divorce rate is greater than fifty percent in some cases and at least half of the marriages I know about will not be in existence when i am actually prepared to commit myself to another person in that way.

I'm in an open relationship. I think I sort of let myself fall into it, but a part of me enjoys being "single" even if I miss calling him my boyfriend. He's still there, fulfilling the same role, just without the title.

It hurts sometimes..........
But it also feels good to openly flirt with others and not feel guilty.

I am 23 and I am not married, and I am so glad that I am not the only person who get sick of reading the happily married blog. I have found that if I am on here and I read a profile that says that person is not single I will not even bother to read their blog. For some reason in my head I feel like those people won't be able to relate to me as much as a single person would and vice versa. I have 2 friends one married and one in a serious relationship and I will say that I do not envy either one of them. I think marriage is something we are pressured into because society says so. I don't need a piece of paper to show my significant other that I love him.

I think I'm the only one in my immediate circle of friends that IS in a serious relationship. And we range from 23-26. Although they feel pressured to find someone in the next couple of years I think it's just fine that they are single and that there is no perfect time to meet someone. But I see where you are coming from in that it does seem like everyone is married or in relationships at this point.
