I'll let Amal Clooney and Meghan Windsor know what you think of them the next time we chat.

Look what type of guy it took to make them agree to marry. They didn't need a man, they needed a superman

Precisely. There's nothing wrong with having standards. Personally I'd rather have either of these than a middle of the road schlump. The fact that both of them were rich single women is just icing on the cake. I'm willing to bet Meghan's going to be preggers next year (at 37!) and I'm hoping for twins.

Of course she'll be pregnant...even if It's fake and she uses a surrogate. That is literally going to be her job...produce an heir. Feminist everywhere rejoice

Wow, someone's jealous.

Just for reference - there's already five direct heirs to the throne and none of them will be sourced from Meghan.

Those being:

Prince Charles
Prince William
Prince George
Princess Charlotte
Prince Louis

Which means Meggie can have as many beautiful babies with her hot royal ginger as she likes - zero pressure. As for her job, I'm thinking she'll keep on being a humanitarian like quite a few 'feminists' you could learn something from.

Considering my husband is not a racist who was barely able to finish school despite all the private tutors and who clearly has Mommy issues, I'd say Meggie is going to be the jealous one

She's not worrying about you or your opinion so you should stop wasting your time worrying about her

It is her way or the highway and her way is 100% right and other people are 100% wrong. She wouldn’t even be able to compromise with a man she was dating. You can be friends with a person but in marriage they are impossible.

I have an ex-friend like that too. Gorgeous, fit, charming, turns heads everywhere she goes, educated, great career. But I couldn't cope with always having to go along with what she wanted, and with every single situation in her life always being someone's fault besides hers, and neither can the men she dates. She has no trouble attracting them but they never stay (and of course it's never her fault, they're always in the wrong).

I have literally said exactly this. I had a baby with a guy I was not serious about. As for why I’m single,I have a ton of family trauma that has gotten in the way of being with a good person. I’m working on it though.

I’m a male in my 40s and I would assume she has issues. I would t date her. Being single from divorce or another reason I understand. Never married? There’s an issue and it’s one of the following

- you’re ugly (kind of a given)
- you’re very difficult to get along with
- you’ve put career first so much so you have no room for anything else
- you’re too selfish to have a relationship. This is fine, some people are. But don’t expect the world to revolve around you now you’re ready to settle down men will just fall out of the sky and lust after you.
- commitment issues
- you’re secretly gay and haven’t admitted it yet. In which case just be yourself
- if you’re gay and still haven’t found anyone it’s not society it’s you. You’re the only constant variable in this equation.

This is interesting. I've learned on this board that so many women ... and men ... marry without real love because they are ready to settle down. And that's fine. But I would think it makes more sense that some women and men who chose to stay single, rather than assuming there is a major flaw.

With the lack of high quality men in the area, I’d say I’m not surprised she has gone it alone for so long.
Men don’t really bring much to the table but sperm.

NP. Can we put to bed this myth that women are too committed to their work to have any free time for dating? This always feels like an excuse to me. Women stay busy with careers in their 20s and 30s if they haven’t found any one good. But if a great guy came along, they would absolutely be able to make time for him. It’s a convenient excuse to say they are too busy with work in the mean time.

I’m not sure if the same holds true for guys. I think a lot of guys are socially obtuse enough that they don’t actually realize they are missing out on dating in their 20s and 30s. They don’t crave the same social aspect of dating, and the male social networks of watching sports etc can take place regardless of their busy work schedules.

I assume that single people didn't meet that special someone. Nothing more than that. It can be bad luck, or pickiness, but that's not my place to judge.

Women stay busy with careers in their 20s and 30s if they haven’t found any one insanely perfect. But if a perfect guy came along, they would absolutely be able to make time for him. It’s a convenient excuse to say they are too busy with work in the mean time

Fixed it for you.

huh?

What a loaded question.

I would ASSUME that none of the men she met were good enough for her and she didn't want to settle for any Joe Schmo, especially because nowadays you don't need a man to have a baby.

This. I assume she is smart.

I know of only 2 men other than my husband that I would consider good partners/fathers/husbands. And I am not even considering attraction because neither of these guys are my type.

The odds are just horrible for women. More men than women are immature, irresponsible, selfish, lacking in empathy etc. I'd rather be single than be with most of the men who are married to my friends and family members. When I married my husband 10 years ago, I did not realize just how bad things were out there. I get it now.


For as long as I can remember, I knew that being a mother was the most important thing in my life so I started looking pretty early on, at an age which most ambitious women would consider too early(had my kids in professional school). I kissed many many frogs, dumped quite a few nice guys and found the perfect guy for me. But I know I mostly got lucky.

You sound overflowing with empathy yourself. How about: the odds are horrible for women who act horrible. Or who have no apparent interest in sex of course.

The odds are horrible for women in general, even the ones who act well.

Keep blaming lack of sex as the reason why you choose to be an asshole to your spouse and a less than adequate parent to your children. I will keep calling BS.

And ranting against men in general makes you, not all women, an asshole.

Sometimes T, sometimes F and just back luck or maybe lack of interest.

I will say that in every relationship where a highly educated man and woman got married in their late 20s and early 30s and then divorced shortly thereafter, the woman was total crazy town all along and I knew it before they even got engaged.

So I'd roll the dice on never married than married at 29 and divorced at 32.
