Pressure on women in their 30's...marriage and kids.

A little about me...I'm 32, have a solid career, and recently out of a 3.5 year relationship with a 33 year old man who wants to continue to party and live at home with his mother. He has no real career to speak of. He has changed jobs 4 times during our 3.5 year period together. He is about to face looking for another job very soon since the company he works for is closing down. Since I broke up with him 5 months ago, I bought my dream home. He has seen my house and was rather impressed. He has started to mention going to school (again) to try and get a career and he also finally mentioned moving out of mommy's place (not in with me though!!!!). I see much potential in him which was my reason for staying with him so long. I just got tired of waiting and feel time is running out for me.

What I want to know:
1) Is time really running out?
2) Why is my mother pressuring me to get married and have a family?
3) Is marriage and family really all that great? (My parents divorced when I was very young. I don't have much concept of family as a result.)
4) Why are so many guys my age just sitting on their can with no career and still living at home?
5) Where are all the guys I should be meeting...the real men with careers and ambition?

An equal partner would be nice for a change.

Part of the reason I'm on peertrainer to lose weight is to repair my self esteem so I will attract real men instead of the boys. I'm almost to my goal. 10-15 more lbs to go!

Any insight anyone can offer is so greatly appreciated!
