This.

The lie is that women hit a wall - did anyone see the Friends reunion? All extremely wealthy people in their fifties, and the women looked farrrr better than the men.

The cat lady myth is perpetuated to keep women accepting poor behavior from men, just so they won’t be single.

Look, if it's working for you, terrific. No one owes anyone else a date. If your romantic options are worse than being single, you should be single. (Although maybe also think about how you can improve your romantic options.) But for whatever reason - and we don't need to agree on why - young women have substantially more options than young men, and this reverses with age. Of course there is variation person-to-person. But if you're looking around as a 35-year-old woman, and you want kids, and you don't like your romantic options, they're probably not going to get better as you get older, so you should figure out your priorities and be honest with yourself about them.

On the plus side, older single women do a lot better socially and health-wise than older single men. [/quote]
