I have a 6 year old (who's almost 7) and a 3 year old (who is a month away from turning 4). I'm damn near 40 myself. I got married when I was 27, and was a Father for the first time at 32. All I can tell you is what my experience has been like. I wish I would have waited another 3 years to get married. I still had some playing around to do, and that kind of hurt my marriage early on.
I'm glad we waiting to have children when we did, because may playing days were over, and I was ready (or as mich as one can be) for the responsibility. Point is, everyone is different in what they want and can handle. However, you better be damn sure that you are ready to settle down, especially once you decide to have kids. It's ok to F-up your own life, but you don't want to F-up one of your kids.
