[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a SIL who is 45 and never been in a relationship. I have no explanation and I have wondered what is going on in her head for years. She is Ivy League educated, great athlete, lots of friends, great family, well traveled, interesting career, and attractive. Are men intimidated by her? Are her standards too high? Or does she simply have no idea how to date? I am mystified by it. [/quote]

Maybe she likes her independence and does not want to put with with a mediocre man's BS. This is not hard to figure out. [/quote]
This could be me. I have no patience for men who don't want to be adults--it is deeply unsexy to me.  Was only interested in kids if I could find a full partner.  The worst are the ones in this age cohort who talk a good game about being "enlightened" but lean on their wives for everything. [b]I can count the number of marriages that look enviable from this perspective (and yes I know you can never really know) on my fingers. [/b] [/quote]

+1.  I know many married women think of marriage as the be all/end all, and that theyve succeeded massively because they have a partner, and all the single women are just lonely and jealous.  From the single woman's perspective it looks like hell in 90% of marriages, most of which seem to be comprised of emotionally closed off/selfish men and enabling women that spend all their energy babysitting them.  Is it any coincidence that many of the most successful women (Oprah, Laura Wasser, Angelina Jolie) seem to choose to be alone?[/quote]
