[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should focus on themselves and choose careers that they think they will like (or at least don't sound awful) and pay well.  They very well may not end up getting married. I know you don't want to hear this, but I'm mid-40s and I have plenty of female friends (who are attractive, well-educated, accomplished) who never found anyone and are still single.  So they need to be able to support themselves at a comfortable standard of living (whatever that means to them).  [/quote]

I also have lots of single female friends in their 40s. It's a choice they made. Not a wrong choice - many are happy - but some thought that marriage would happen eventually if they just went about their lives. If you want a spouse and/or kids, which OP says hers do, you do have to decide that and make it happen. Whether that means dating with intent or settling or single mom IVF or whatever. [/quote]
This.  I know several great women in their very late thirties/early forties who have never found a good partner. I know a few other women who settled with whoever they were dating around 35 with pretty bad results. If they want to be married they need to put effort into it. A lot of the good guys get married young[/quote]
