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 true. In their 20's, women seem to all compete for the limited pool of especially desirable men. This results in the "most desirable 10%" getting lots of sex and female attention.
Then they get older, the desirable men have moved on to the next crop of sweet young things, and they desire some guy to marry and support their high-mileage butts. And then get upset when no man that they would be interested in, is interested in THEM.
