My experience is that women in their 30s are for the most part in “oh chit, I need to get a man” mode and are looking to settle.....looking to settle with guys they previously would have turned down and looking to settle with guys they probably don’t really want. That’s a big part of why a lot of guys don’t want them. Who wants to be in a marriage with somebody who doesn’t really want you?
Only marry a woman if she has the tingles for you.
It's worse for women in their 40's and 50's especially as the number of eligible men decrease (death, giving up on women.)
It's sad. It really is. Some of the behavior I've seen is just so sad. If I were a lesser person (I'm not today, tomorrow I may be .... ) I'd be writing jokes about it on this thread. I just can't do it.
Who wants a marriage with someone who decided to "settle" for you, is resentful of having to settle, and pines for the desirable men who bedded her in her 20s (as long as they were under no obligation to marry).
