Spiting their pretty faces

I often post articles just for debate not because I always agree with them .....thought everyone else was doing the same.

Thank you. Exactly my intent. Lori Anne didn't get that..(smirk). But then, there are always going to be those who don't.

"You have no authority by which to state what is MOST important in a woman's life."

Again, can't fathom where you are getting this. No where and at no time did I assert any authority over anyone. Not once did I intimate authority over others, nor attempt to tell other women how to prioritize their lives. Not once.

As I mentioned, the article caught my attention and I thought it might interest others. In the future I promise to choose less controversial material.

That doesn't mean that every searching single gal should pick up and move to New York or LA, but I've seen too many nice women continue to just sit around their small circle and complain, never making progress. If the chemistry can't be found within that circle, look outside the circle.

I had a cousin who didn't know where to meet nice men ---there wasn't a way to meet any in the work-place, her church didn't have a group for her age-range, she wasn't the kind that could or would want to meet her mate in a bar of dance club. She was determined to meet her future husband somehow so she made her own club with membership rules to include the types she wanted to meet, she put a lot of work into organizing the social events so that singles would have a chance to meet other singles in a no-pressure setting ---her club quickly grew in membership and she met several guys to date and within a short time she married. I guess if something isn't there, you can sit and complain or make it happen.

Bingo.

Good story, thanks for sharing it.

So, gentleman, is it better to love a little, with only a small flame than to not experience the fire at all?

According to Principal Rooney: it is better to have loved a little than to have never loved at all. (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
okay, so that isnt exactly what he said, but yeah I see your dilemma - do you 'settle/compromise' or risk becoming the lady that all the kids run past your house b/c you are the 'crazy cat lady'. Hard question to answer, but I believe in love- even a little bit of it.
For the record- I am 31, single, and have two cats...its already started!
(audio-visualize maniacal "crazy cat-man" laugh here:)bwa-ha-haaa!

But is there a culture out there that is producing young men that will generally make better husbands?

Yes. It's called enlightened. I hope your daughter finds it. Your son too, for that matter.

[anymouse]

Good for you.

[Lorianne]

You're right. I got you confused with another poster who made those comments. I apologize.

[Oberon]

This is my struggle, as a single 30 something gal.

So, since this thread was posted, has your AOL instant messenger been ringing off the figurative hook from all the great guys who've discovered you?

Or even just the one nice guy who'll take you seriously?

The fact that you, in a snide way, put down child care--in the person of nannys, while also putting down men--who avoid you--proves the author's points.

You are indeed so steeped in feminist assumptions you don't even know it--and that's a feminist of the most bitter kind. You don't have to be a liberal pro-abortion democrat admirer of Betty Friedan to be a feminist, as your remarks clearly illustrate.

The kind of lady I appreciate wouldn't think of mocking as inferior other women who actually like caring for children.

Bears repeating, thank you

Don't say that! I still have IRA money in the market.
