I surveyed a group of women, some were married and others were single with no luck in men.
Those that were married just mentioned right timing, single ones said none of this advice works. Well, what’s the reason why some men women just cannot land a proposal? Let alone a committed long term relationship? |
There is more than one reason. |
I have 3 friends who never married (2 from high school and 1 from college, we're in our late 40s) and the thing they have in common is parents who spoiled them. Maybe that's a coincidence but they were all really cute and they're all smart and fun, so there's not a reason unless just bad luck/bad timing. |
+ 1000 No simple answer to this |
Describing someone as marriage material is so gross. It's intrinsically super sexist.
Marriage is all luck and timing. Luck in meeting someone who works (I don't believe in The One) and timing with it being during society's tiny window acceptability for women (age 25-35). The rest is nonsense. |
The biggest difference between my married and nonmarried female friends: the ones who are single didn't want to settle for someone mediocre/with issues. |
What kind of marriage? With whom? For what purpose? |
Too many loser males. |
Marriage material for a high value man? Pretty, smart, thin, pleasant, good in bed but does not appear trashy or slutty.
Marriage material for a regular man? Attractive and nice. I don’t think any guy wants to marry someone unattractive and mean or dumb. |
A big issue that I see in the women I know: they don't want to get married. That's a deal killer right there. |
Except not. I'm married and have been for a long time. There are several female friends who never married or married very late (no kids) and they were all beautiful, fun, accomplished women. Timing was a big thing. Not settling was another. It certainly wasn't something "wrong" with them. But your comment says a lot about you and what a POS you are. |
My needs are slutty but I don't appear slutty. Am I good? |
I have a friend who had many suitors but she wanted someone who was better. I think people who remain single are often ones who think they are better than they are. I remember we had a mutual friend who was in love with my friend but he was a comcast guy. That wasn’t good enough. Another guy became a cop. A third ran a small restaurant. She wanted a banker or hedge fund type guy. |
This. My friend who desperately wanted to marry and never did was a 5 looking to date/marry men at 8 or 9. |
Yeah no. I'm married and my dh is neither mediocre, nor did he have issues. |
