How to make friends my age that are not obsessed with marriage and giving birth
It made me
happy 
"Lots of heartbreak but tried to keep up my spirits, in the end it paid off."
How I did it: totally random, met someone at work who fit the criteria. I guess the best bet is to keep meeting people, then you have a larger pool to choose from. I happened to be job searching. I think it's easier if you live in a less traditional place, but there are still pockets of people who think untraditionally, everywhere. Try joining roller derby or a recycling/earth friendly type group or movement.
Lessons & tips: not to be judgemental, not to freak out when friends announce engagement and/or pregnancy, it does NOT go over well when you are unhappy about what they consider to be a wonderful triumph.
Resources: any alcoholic beverage helps
