[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do these discussions always operate on the premise that women have all the options and some schmuck is lucky one picked him?[/quote]

Because think of the people you know who are single at 40 - there are plenty of higher caliber women single at 40 than men. The men still single at 40 all seem to be losers.[/quote]
Everyone I know who got to their 40's, whether male or female, and is still single has at least one personality or character flaw that explains why they never married. Being divorced is one thing. Never married? If I found myself back in the dating pool again, I would avoid never-married women. [/quote]

That's such a blanket statement. I'm late 30s/female and never married because my fiance died in an accident. In a relationship but will leave him.[/quote]

You have to acknowledge that your situation is very abnormal and most people unmarried by late 30s have serious problems in either the mental department or the looks department[/quote]

The only “serious problem” I have is that I enjoy my own company more than I’ve ever enjoyed being in a relationship. I’m certainly not going to marry someone just to placate a bunch of random people online. [/quote]

That is a serious problem sweetie, it's called malignant narcissism [/quote]

WTF. Why on earth do you think romantic relationships are important enough that it's better to be in a bad one than not one at all? Do you have childhood trauma or something?

-NP, and I'm married. [/quote]

I think when someone "enjoys their own company" more than anyone they have ever met, that person has a few issues [/quote]

Ah, here is the problem. You are trying to respond to things that nobody said. PP didn't say she enjoys her own company more than *anyone she has every met*, she said she enjoys her own company more than she has ever enjoyed being in a relationship.

Often the way we read statements reveals more about us than it does the other person, so maybe ask yourself what your misinterpretation of PP's comment says about you. [/quote]

I think given that the context of the thread is relationships, I clearly meant anyone she has ever met romantically. And I stand my ground on the assertion that she has psychological problems [/quote]

I would never think that “anyone you’ve ever met” means “anyone you’ve ever been in a romantic relationship with,” regardless of the context. I think you’re backtracking. As for her having psychological problems, you sound a bit off yourself so she will have an easy time dismissing your assertions about her mental health. [/quote]
