[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I know you're going to suggest that it's her but I promise you it's not. She's a good looking girl (very pretty but not intimidatingly beautiful). Great education, good job, lots of friends, active social life.

It's the men her age who suck![/quote]Uh, the issue isn't whether she has a great education, good job, lots of friends, and active social life.  The issue is that [i]she[/i] is chasing men who are not available and probably doing it for reasons that she is in denial about.  I say that because I've been there and done that.  She needs to do therapy about why she has a problem with commitment.  Yes, I'm serious.  It's her choices that are the problem.[/quote]

I have that friend too, except she's now 39. She, too, claims it's the men these days. She is very beautiful, takes excellent care of herself, and looks much younger than her years. Established career, social life, international travel etc. She's got a demands list a mile long though... and at the top of it is that the guy has to be well off. She is attracted to guys who are flashy, both in looks and in personality. She overlooks and dismisses the guys who aren't "hot", who don't have an "in" at the latest nightlife spots, who aren't likely to whisk her off to Bora Bora on a whim. Well, the flashy guys will date her, even for an entire year sometimes, and then they dump her and a) marry someone from their own SES / a family friend / old girlfriend from boarding school, or b) date/marry a 25 year old. She's been living in NY for a decade, has had her heart broken again and again, but says she refuses to "settle".  [/quote]
