[quote=Anonymous][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]

PS  One of my single friends (early 40s) spends too much time doing much of the above:  hanging out at her house, drinking wine, moving furniture around and redecorating, tinkering in the garden, drinking more wine, playing with her cats, watching movies, talking online with her cat friends, and, did I mention, drinking MORE wine.  Then sending FB posts about any or all of the above, some of which are really rambling (b/c of the wine).  Also, please note the things that are not there, such as exercise.

I am not sure how she thinks Prince Charming is going to ever hear about her and go knocking on her door to find her, but if anyone's reading this and thinks this sounds appealing, let me know and I am happy to get the two of you together.  [/quote]
