 Two pieces of dating advice I always give to female friends:

#1) Don't waste your time dating guys younger than 25 (arguably 30 if you really want a high success rate of husband material). Guys in their early/mid-twenties haven't yet been through the fire of finding themselves and building the masculine foundation required to provide you the stability that allows your femininity to flourish.

#2) If you've been dating for years and he hasn't locked you in with marriage yet, LEAVE. (The exact amount of time you should give him is up for debate; I tend to believe 2-3 years should be the max, but would love to hear others' thoughts on this in the comments). Men have the privilege of having a much longer, more forgiving biological clock. You do not. Stop wasting your time with losers who aren't ready to make you his, and begin building a munchkin army with you.

Would love to hear people's thoughts on these. Agree/disagree?
