[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live in San Francisco and saw women maybe ten years older than me who had so much to offer and were single.  They were beautiful, athletic, great jobs, the whole thing.  And yet every guy I knew who wanted a girlfriend had one, even if they were schlubby, unemployed, whatever.   I saw the writing on the wall and moved away.

In some cities the demographics just don’t work in a woman’s favor.  [/quote]

I think this is a huge factor, too. It’s one reason I chose to move to a different location, similar to what PP describes. But the more I think about this question, I am not sure I know many women who really wanted to be married and are not. Most of my friends who are single over 40 didn’t necessarily want to be married and at least one of them actually turned down boyfriends who wanted a more conventional life (marriage, kids). On balance, I would say they are probably a little less happy or satisfied with life than my married friends, but not in every case, and I don’t know if that is related to marriage status or not…[/quote]
