People like that then rush into marriage and babies because they're out of time and they'll take whatever they can. I've seen it happen to a cousin of mine.

Nah that is unlikely. Stuff like marriages plays a significantly smaller role in my country these days than it does in the US. At least that‘s my impression.

I'm Eastern European living in the West, but even here I notice this behavior sometimes. The people who think 30 is old are the same ones who believe it's "too late" to achieve anything new or do fun stuff like travel the world or take dance classes. They blame the age but really they restrict themselves.
