Beats me. I contend the women they dredge up for these Chicken Little excercises are ultra-picky whiners. I call them tire-kickers. I know tire-kickers of both sexes. They share the same traits, not only are they ultra-picky they tend to be extremely indecisive about many things, that's why they can't find anyone. (I know one 50 year old guy who is always whining that he can't find anyone. He has a pages long list of criteria for women. It's good to have standards but geez. This same man spent one year researching which toaster oven to buy !)

Of course they always blame other things.

Anyone who wants to be married can be married in one year flat. What we're talking about here is a small minority of people who can't make up their minds or don't really want to be married. The vast majority of heterosexual people marry.

so who the heck are they talking about?

A few whiners that would be whining regardless of their degrees or marriage. They have a few anecdotes and think that makes a trend. My experience is close to yours and Lorianne's. Except that I do know some professionals in their 30's that are single but they are that way and like it. I also know a few professionals that married for the 1st time in the 30's and started their families. But I don't know any female that is not married and complaining about not being married. Not one.
