Perhaps this is why I cannot understand this concept of settling. I never felt any pressure to get married by a certain age, because I have never wanted kids. That is why I asked the question, to try and understand a different perspective.
But, I pose another related question...

Is it a biological or psychological clock?
Is it really your body screaming, "hurry-up and have a kid", or is it more environmental, for example, seeing your friends or sisters having kids, going to the baby showers, etc.?
