Such controversy!
Your basic point is perfectly valid - some people aren't the "settle down and make the babies" type - but I think its the rather sweeping generalisation that EVERYONE feels this way at least secretly that has caused such a big kerfuffle!

I'm in my early twenties and am getting married next year. Children can't be too far behind. But would I give up my fiance for the off chance of some random encounter down the pub of a Friday night...or so I could go and windsurf down Mount Everest? Would I buggery!

And despite your efforts to backpeddle now, even going as far as to make a counter-post with the opposite argument, its obvious in the way that an elephant in the sugar bowl is obvious that you are trying to "win" at this argument as much as you are allegedly trying to "win" at life.

Also, if you're not adverse to making things up on b3ta (deceiving us poor defenseless readers - shame on you!) then why should we believe anything you've said? Spain? Single? Could just as easily be (evidently unhappily) married with two underachieving kids in barmy Birmingham really, couldn't it?

Congrats on all the ire you've generated though...
