Yep. The other mistake I see a lot of women make is either buying into the feminazi propaganda that they can play the field or pursue education/career in their 20s and then can always get a good man when they are in their 30s.....wanna bet?.......
OR
They have totally ridiculous unrealistic expectations as to their own attractiveness/market power. (See where women rated 80% of men below average) so they turn down guys who would be good choices in their 20s thinking they’re going to get the millionaire, attractive, self-confident, movie star/male model and nothing less will do. Those guys will give them the ole pump and dump because they can do better themselves. Then, when all of their 20s are gone those women try to circle back and get with the guys they rejected when they were in their 20s....now that those guys are done with their education and have their careers on track. The only problem is those guys A) know those women don’t really want them - just a meal ticket - and think they’re settling and B) those guys want what those women WERE when they were trying to get them....not what they ARE now which is past their prime and bitter because they didn’t get the millionaire movie start their own age when they were in their 20s. In other words, a lot of women let great become the enemy of good. That’s how you end up with nothing.
I’m not hating on them for it. Its a lesson I learned the hard way in my career. I’ve since learned to take good when its offered to me and be happy with that rather than rejecting everything except the longshot great opportunity.
Smart women.....ie your grandmother and her generation...knew to take a man who was a good but not great choice early on and work to mold him into a great husband. If she chose wisely in her 20s, all he would ever see when he looked at her was the girl who chose him when she had other choices she could have made. That holds true when they’re in their 50’s their 60s their 70s etc. That’s a deposit in the bank of goodwill that never run out - at least not if he’s a good man.

ROFL!!!
