Understand that age is ALWAYS on your side: if you’re female, ignore the biological clock. It isn’t a great reason to marry. If you’re deeply worried about this, freeze your eggs. It’s not so costly. But age is on your side because it brings along with it wisdom, ability and self-awareness amongst other things.
Don’t be with the wrong man: Normalize saying no to low-value men. If that man who continuously degrades proposes and you agree, do you think the degradation will truly stop? The answer is no.
