[quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised that someone as beautiful and smart as Joan is single in her thirties in season one. She clearly knows how the game is played, women use their looks to hook and marry the highest value man they can. Yet we know Joan has a lot of admirers and even had long term affairs with men like Roger. But she is not able to lock him down with marriage the way Jane later does and Megan does with Don. Even if it doesn’t end well for them, via marriage these women elevate their social status and gain access to wealth. Meanwhile we see Joan being used for her beauty and she’s single into her 30s until she settles for that horrible failed doctor. It doesn’t make sense for someone as smart and beautiful as Joan to not be able to work the system to make an advantageous match for herself. [/quote]
