johncomic[Error: unknown template qotd] I don't think there really is social pressure. There are a lot of social assumptions, but no real backlash if those assumptions turn out to be incorrect. Anybody that I've seen experience pressure re settling down and reproducing, was experiencing familial pressure rather than social.
I will say, though, that in the 60s there was very real social pressure about these things. There was “something seriously wrong with you” if you didn't wanna get married and/or have kids. It wasn't merely an option that you were free to choose. Since then, I'd say that society's attitudes in general have really changed. Or so it appears to me.
