It’s an almost soviet-style indoctrination. The SATC/Cosmo-girl/Rom-com life plan. You go all-out on the glamorous career and boffo sex life from 18 to 33, then McDreamy will stumble into your life and sweep you off your feet and you will live happily ever after.
If not? Well, stock up on the kitty litter, I guess...
um... McDreamy left her (almost) on the altar.... not exactly happily ever after, eh?
