Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem are to blame.
Females DO want to settle down.
Just not until they get used up as an amusement park ride.
Once the phone no longer rings, then they will seek out some responsible sucker to be her “true love”.
This is where Facebook is informational. I have a lot of peers who spent their 20’s being the cool party people. At 30, the guys tend to be able to find someone to settle down, but the party girls have trouble.
Now, in our mid-30’s, you can tell the party girls are getting desperate as they continue to only find party guys and can’t find true love. Their looks are fading and nice guys aren’t interested in their past. Some are saying they accept being without men, grudgingly replacing men with hiking, or yoga, or careers. Others are now turning to other females for companionship.
It’s interesting, to say the least.
