I felt the same way as you do right now, 23 years ago. However just when I had it all together, I met an incredible guy and married him eight weeks later.

When Mr. Right comes along, he's Mr. Right. It happens when you least expect it.

I had given up on dating. I had gone out with this one guy, and I was just sick of the whole dating thing.

Then I met my husband, and went out with him. It was fireworks with the first kiss!!!!

Well... don't be fooled by the fact that I mentioned student loans; I'm not a 20-something. I'm not even a 30-something as of 2005 (ahem). I'm just saying... actually, I'm not sure what I'm saying. I guess I'm protesting the tone of this article. It's as if they are painting all single women as either desperate or hostile. Some of us are neither. I have known some very nice men, but I left them because I just wasn't in love. That and I do feel that most men (even my beloved fellow Freepers) often have a bit of a tendency to feel that women should earn their fair share of the rent but do more (WAY more) than their fair share of the housework. I leave not hating them, just... tired, and in need of safe solitude. And grateful to go back to only having to do dishes 4 times a week, as opposed to 10.

I guess there was no real point to my remarking on this thread at all. I just hate seeing women like myself always painted as either a bitter MoDo or a desperate Sex in the City drone.
