do the math

An activity typically undertaken by single women between the ages of 27 and 33. The objective of "doing the math" is for the woman to determine the youngest age at which she could earliest enter into a marriage and, later, have a child. The end result being that the woman determines the extent to which she will lower her standards.

Krystal: "Chrystal, I'm almost 30. Do the math. If I met a guy today, it would be at least two years before we get engaged, then another year to get married and then another year to live together before we might start trying to have a baby. That means I would be at least 33 when I have my first kid. I don't want to be 33 when I start having kids! Do you know any single guys?"
Chrystal: "No."

Pete: "I'm 30 and single."
Steve: "So?"
Pete: "....."
