[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single woman of 47, and I know lots of single women 35-55.  Broadly speaking, my friends and acquaintances tend to fall into one of two camps.

The first camp is very upset/unhappy/depressed that they are not married, especially if they had wanted children.  They are out there, doing the online dating A LOT and kind of hating it.  Some of them probably could have had kids on their own, but chose not to, because they wanted to do that with a partner, and some of them could definitely buy houses solo but are waiting until they find "the one".  Most of them have good careers but I'm not sure they appreciate the benefits of having a good income.

The other camp is people like me.  They may or may not have kids, but they've accepted their lot in life.  They sometimes date if they meet someone they like, but they're not constantly swiping through dudes on Bumble because they have other stuff going on.  When they go out, they're talking to their friends, not worrying about whether the cute guy at the bar has a ring and how they should approach him.  They generally own their own homes and they usually either know how to fix stuff, they "have a guy" they pay to do that stuff, or some combination.  They have hobbies and workout routines and pets.  They travel solo or with friends.  And they seem pretty content.  [/quote]
