[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the SIL is consistently attracting attracting the same type of person, then there's only one common denominator- the SIL.

Maybe she has unresolved emotional issues from childhood, low self-esteem, unrealistic expectations for a partner, etc. For whatever reason, she's choosing men who are unsuitable for her. Until she resolves her issues, she isn't going to see clearly enough to choose men who are suitable.

Or despite whatever she says, she doesn't want or isn't ready for a committed relationship (and that's okay). But for whatever reason, she can't admit it to herself. So she chooses men who don't want to commit so she doesn't have to commit.

Successful dating (regardless of whether it's looking for a casual or long term relationship) requires a certain of self-awareness and self- honesty. There's a pattern of behavior and SIL has to be willing to examine it. [/quote]

I agree with you but by her age she should know all of the above already.  I think she doesn't want to commit herself but uses this "no good men out there" shtick to get people like Op off her back.

Yes, Op, I don't think you are intentionally getting on her back at all.  That doesn't mean that she still doesn't think that she would be judged by you and others for not looking for "Mr. Right" and wanting marriage.

There was a time when I was single and free and really did not want a boyfriend.  Really.[/quote]
