In india your mom, sister, grandparents, and 13000 aunts would be looking at prospective brides at this point. No one would ask you what you want. The position of the stars from when you were born must match with that of those form your prospective brides (there's something grammatically wrong with that sentence but I can't be arsed to figure it out). Anyone from outside your caste and subcaste wouldn't even be considered. You'd have to marry whoever you were told to marry, you'd be unhappy asf, get a whole lot of debt, and then you'd kill yourself, your wife, and your newborn kids. Preferably by hanging.
This is in response to the OP, when you asked what it's like in everyone's respective cultures. Well, here's an Indian (Hindu) stereotype for you.
The word bed actually looks like a bed.

There is only one alternative to not getting older. You don't want that either, my friend.

27? Old? You *must* be kidding me. If you feel old at 27, you need to *seriously* re-orient your life.
I'm just over double that youthful age of 27 and am hoping to get to triple it.

YES! 25 is the peak of the roller coaster. It all down hill from there. Rather rapidly too.

Chronologically for a human, no. Psychologically it depends on your frame of mind.
A couple of weeks ago I took a neighbour who is wheelchair bound shopping on a Saturday morning (something I do every couple of weeks -shaddap!). By the time we were done I was actually tired and soaked with sweat (it was a rare hot day here).
I actually said, "Fuck I'm getting old!"
I say that to demonstrate frame of mind.

Boss Lady says I'm 12. When she says that I pull her hair and stick my tongue out.

Your typos are the high point of my day, you know that, right?

This damned phone keyboard is at fault. I type fairly fast and don't normally go back and check for errors.
But, as I said, shaddap!

I turned 27 in 1994. No, 27 is not old.
