What are your 30s for anyway?

I’ve been sitting here in front of the computer after a quiet choof wondering, just what the hell it’s all about. I don’t actually mean life – god that’s just too big right now – I just mean our 30′s. What’s our 30′s actually for?

See, when you’re in childhood it’s for being able to do stuff like crap in your pants and not be embarrased; in post childhood it’s to go to school and learn how to communicate with people and learn how the world works so you can become part of it; in your 20′s it’s to learn how to socialise and get a partner and get married; in your 30′s it’s to be married and have kids… except how does it work if you didn’t get married in your 20′s? Shit hey! What then? I mean, society doesn’t really go for that kind of scenario because, well, if you don’t have kids you don’t make the next generation of consumers, and then the world ends! Or that’s just the impression I get from bank ads! At any rate, I’m not married, probably not going to get married because everyone who is single and in their 30′s are starting to get too entrenched in their lives to give them up for someone. So that would follow that I don’t have kids… or maybe not because I won’t stay celibate, so maybe I do have a kid but not a wife. That thought really scares me so I’m not going to go down that road at this particular time. So getting back to where I was before, where exactly then do us 30 something singles fit into the picture in society?

Maybe another choof and the answer might come to me.
