The first thing that comes to my mind is the analogy of women looking for a husband and a multistory department store. These women fail to realize their value is the marriage is depreciating rapidly as they age.

There must be an analog to “E-Match” for donors.

You said it better and more succinctly than I could have.

I’ll add that the child delicate princesses have grown into adult princesses who think the world operates along those lines, and are to be disappointed.

The self esteem movement is to blame, and of course, liberals.

Oh, and the fathers of these women failed.

“Princessing” is a verb; it describes a mode of raising your daughter in a coddling mode and without a dose of reality. It creates females wholly unprepared for the real world.

Perfect=LARGE wallet

Those child support payments make the difference from having to work a part time job to having no job at all.

“These women fail to realize their value is the marriage is depreciating rapidly as they age.”

If they’re digging for gold and/or rockhard abs, yes.

If they’re looking for chemistry and a true spiritual relationship, the “value” doesn’t go down all that much.
