[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other ladies here who are single get sad because they see their friends getting married and having kids? I know it sounds lame but I get depressed and sad because I can’t find anyone. Mid 30s and single and each guy I meet, they are either talking to multiple women, divorced with kids, or either jobless or have a blue-collar job…not that I have anything against that, but I’m looking for a family soon.

What do you do to cope and meet guys? I try to go to yoga classes, bookstores like Barnes and noble, I’m even trying kickball leagues this spring. [/quote]

You sound like a classic case of you need to relax your standards. Honestly, the only deal-breaker on that list of yours is "talking to multiple women." And even THAT is to be expected -- even acceptable -- when you're just getting to know each other.

I mean, read what you wrote again. You say you don't "have anything against" men with [b]blue-collar jobs[/b], "but" you're "[b]looking for a family soon[/b]." So, what, a blue-collar worker can't be a family man?

And, I hate to break it to you, sister, but you're in your mid-30s now. The dating pool is absolutely 100% going to contain divorced men. Why is this a problem for you? Damaged goods?

You're looking for a unicorn. Your frustration with being single is an unforced error. Let go of the myth.[/quote]

This post is toxic. It’s the person who, if you post in five years that you are worried about lost income while on bed rest/unhappy you can’t afford to live in a good school district/stressed over the cost of a Disney vacation will snarkily tell you to make more money and didn’t your husband earn a low income when you met him???

This is the person who, is you post about drama with an ex, will ask you didn’t you know he was divorced when you married him??

Your standards are not unreasonable, and none of your deal breakers are out of line. People here just hate to see women know their worth. [/quote]
