Jesus. Sad.

Seriously.

Look, I agree with OP that there aren't a ton of marriageable men out there. I never thought that there were, even in my supposed "prime". I've dated a lot over the past twenty-five years. I've met some awful men, a lot of okay men, and some truly great men. (I guarantee that of all of these men, some thought I was great, some thought I was awful, and many thought I was okay). I never married. (I'm forty-six now). All that said, everyone has to be fully prepared to live life on their own, whether they're alone or not. The absolute biggest turnoff, even when I was in my twenties and early thirties, was meeting a man who I knew on date one would propose to whoever he dated for a year or so, because he just really really wanted to get married. I feel immensely sorry for people who cannot be alone. I'm not opposed to marriage. I think love is wonderful. But people simply cannot expect to have healthy relationships if they CANNOT be alone. I'll admit that I'd prefer to be in a healthy, happy relationship than single, but I much prefer being single to being in a bad relationship, and so many people seem to be in bad relationships because they cannot bear the thought of life by themselves.
