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.
That said, relationships are a lot of work, and the longer it goes on, sometimes the tougher it gets. The rewards are worth it but the commitment has to be total, and it very often isn't...note our high divorce rate.
Better to be alone than with the wrong man. That's what I was thinking before Mr. Right found me, and I would still be thinking that, even if he hadn't! It goes the same for men too.
