[quote=Anonymous]I’m 36 and I know a lot of women who claim to be trying to meet Mr Right but on closer inspection they just aren’t.

The women I know who are attractive and successful but still struggle on the dating market generally aren’t really open to settling down with the nice guys who were attracted to them. They definitely self sabotage. Things would be going well and then suddenly they break up, or push the guy to give up over vague reasons. They date guys younger than them or who admitted to not being serious about settling down. One friend right now is sobbing over a broken heart but the extent to which she sabotaged her own relationship completely explains her “bad luck.”

I’ve seen this come up with a few different roots. One is claiming to want kids, but if you really push them or discuss it with them when they’re feeling honest, they’re not sure. Another is parents having a bad marriage and not trusting their ability to avoid it. And then paradoxically I’ve seen women whose parents had EXCELLENT marriages, to the extent it felt like they would always fall short in their own lives. I’m sure there are other circumstances.
