I'm the same age as the author and that was NOT the world I was born into. There's no doubt women are different and do, indeed, want to 'bond'.

What I'm discovering is there is a large number of divorced women in their 30s who are enjoying the single life while sharing custody of their kids with their ex's. It's the best of both worlds for them... they have children, but are free from the restraints of marriage. This freedom lets them party like there's no tomorrow, especially on the weekends the kids are with dad. It's like a social pack of divorced women who go out and get drunk with each other, every other weekend. Seriously. I find it amusing yet kinda disturbing.

Are there women who marry for the sole purpose of procreating, then ultimately divorce to enjoy the single life again?

Then there are some women that could not get a deaf and blind quadraplegic to marry them, even if she weren't a dyke:



Oink, snort, oink!

It is quickly becoming a woman's world in academics and in business. I think that will accelerate what you have described.

Also, I find a lot of young women willing to bankroll a boyfriend who destroys the woman's credit rating by getting credit cards in her name to buy gifts for the other girlfriend. And then the same young woman makes moon eyes at every man who might be a candidate. I find it sad.

A woman on conservative radio, KFYI, Phoenix, an announcer no less, said she paid $100,000 to get rid of one boyfriend.

Traditional values have always worked and will always work. My wife was a stay-at-home mother. Our daugher-in-law is the same. We have been married 37 years. Our son is already one of ancients, still married after 12 years. Much happiness comes from conservative, Christian values. We heard our grandson was a "chaos lamb" in the Christmas pageant. That was his sister's description of his thespian efforts, age 1+.

I'm one of those. Well, we don't always get *drunk* but we hang out together rather than hunt for men. We're all 40-42, single, and kind of over it where men are concerned. Our little group has come to the conclusion that female companionship and friendship fulfills a lot of our emotional needs. Not all of them, but somethings you find that you can survive without.

"Are there women who marry for the sole purpose of procreating, then ultimately divorce to enjoy the single life again?"

Is that a rheotorical question? There are certainly men who fit that description. Two of my best friends, now both separated and on their way to divorce, did just that. For some years they screwed around, playing the field. Then they decided that they wanted to be married and have kids, and found women with similar desires, as well as a desire to stay home and raise the kids. Only then did they realize that these (in both cases older than themselves) women who wanted to stay home and raise their kids weren't exactly what they wanted in a mate. So they both found themselves girlfriends and separated from their wives.

Would have been a lot simpler if they'd just admitted to themselves from the beginning what they really wanted in a wife (a hip soulmate to do things with) rather than marrying and producing 7 children between them who no longer have a father in the household full time.

I seriously doubt that this happens often; but, I do think that many young-ish women find themselves in empty marriages (usually because they were too immature to be married in the first place) and they figure out that having a baby will mean child support for 18 years, so they deliberately have a child with a man they despise solely for the money, then dump him. There's a place for women like this, and it's called Hell.

To answer your question...
..I guess anything is possible.

What should give these women pause...but evidently doesn't seem to bother a lot of them it seems...

..is the plethora of sexually transmitted diseases.

Good mercy, doesn't anyone consider consequences.

Only one 'celebrity' has addressed this publicly....Scarlett Johanson supposedly said she gets tested for Aids 4 times a year.

And of course, we know Pamela Anderson has Hep C...

There is no cure for Hep C....There is no cure for Aids.....

I would venture that women who "marry for the sole purpose of procreating," are treating their husbands instrumentally, and are not in the seep sense "chaste," which for marrieds includes having a loving and loyal bond with your spouse.
