In my office there are several attractive unmarried women in their mid-20’s with absolutely no desire for marriage. None of them are religious or conservative in the slightest, but they’re not mannish-feminist types either. Nearest I can tell, they just want to have fun in life and don’t seem interested in the next five years... They do not realize their looks won't last, and about the time they will want some real fulfillment in life, they will likely have tossed away their opportunities to get some.
They will reach their forties and wonder why they are so depressed and unhappy, and why nothing they ever did in their earlier life holds any real meaning for them.

Exactly, very short sided.
