		<description>To be a bit clearer, marriages (in USA, according to CDC) brides below the age of 20 are much more likely to be divorced than those over 20, and those under 18 most likely of all. Interestingly enough, the sample wasn&#039;t very skewed  there were only twice as many women 18-19 than women under 18. The CDC study didn&#039;t correlate men&#039;s age at all. No idea why.</description>

		<description>Typically honest? Apart from the Obama folks here have long ceased to start a debate - rather they annoy other posters rather than sticking with the issues. So if you&#039;re reading this, they have created a user on here very close to my own in order to minimic and annoy. Which is not debate either.</description>

		<description>Oh, yeah.
Diana Ross is my goddess...I pay tribute to her at least thrice weekly.
The outfit she&#039;s rocking in the pic you posted? I&#039;ll be rocking it too. Watch me.</description>

		<description>Ya know, I&#039;ve been natural for 18  years now.
And, in some respects I&#039;m kinda of tired of it.
Not of &#039;it&#039; but of the constant dialogue about my hair:

Sample questions I get:

Do you have a professional job? (from girls who are either considering going natural and are afraid it won&#039;t be &#039;accepted&#039; at work). Answer: yes.

Do men like it? (from same group of girls mentioned above). I&#039;ve never had trouble meeting men. There&#039;s the answer to that!

How long did you transition? What products do you use? How long have you been natural? (from newbie naturals). I didn&#039;t transition. I use whatever; nothing special. Drugstore stuff. It&#039;s been a long time.

Can I touch it? (from random folks on the street). Ummm...No.

I just wish it didn&#039;t have to become such a thing! Honestly, it&#039;s hair. And it doesn&#039;t warrant a barrage of questions.

I won&#039;t even go into the questions/reactions I get when I get it straightened.

I really long for a day when how we wear our hair doesn&#039;t have to be the catalyst for a huge discussion.</description>
