That's a good explanation. I agree that it must be almost impossible for a successful 38 yeard old woman to meet the kind of man she desires. They are all taken. (And I suspect that most have younger, less achieving, child rearing wives.)
Let me tell you. brudda, that rearing children who are emotionally healthy, productive, and virtuous is not a "lesser" achievement, it's the cornerstone of civilization. A woman who can do that is an overachieving superstar, IMO.
