[quote=Anonymous]I suppose I do find myself thinking about my friends or relatives who are still single who are around my age or a bit younger or older (late 30s to early 40s) and think I know better about what they should be doing / should have been doing if they wanted to get married.  Some problems I "see:"

1)  Living out in the boonies (exurbs) during those crucial "need to meet people" years -- 20s, 30s

2)  Never going out -- spending much of their time doing fuddy-duddy, housewifely things:  planting flowers, tinkering in their home, baking, etc.

3) Same as #2 above, but hanging out at home with their cats

4)  Having a career which has severely limited possibilities for meeting male coworkers, mixing and mingling with colleagues who are male.  Sorry, but I put teachers in this mix.  I have seen too many females friends and relatives of mine who are teachers who have a really hard time breaking out of the "teacher happy hour, PTA Auction Night, tutoring" Bermuda Triangle of Socializing.[/quote]
