The Age Women Want To Start A Family (Men: Take Note!)
...And even more interesting facts about women and relationships!
Dragana Gordic / Shutterstock For their "Great Female Survey," AskMen asked women to answer 64 questions on sex, career, relationships, online behavior, and money.
While these seem like basic things you would want in your life, you would be surprised at the way others want their lives to look. Some women want a boyfriend or a child more than anything else, while others would strive to keep their career their number one priority.
