[quote=Anonymous]I gave up at 36. I kind of always knew I would be single forever-- I barely dated in high school or college (being an ethnic minority at overwhelmingly white schools didn't help). I always planned on trying to have kids by myself if I was 35 and still single, but didn't have a great job at 35, so postponed that plan. Dated another loser briefly just before I turned 36, and he stopped even trying to have sex with me after a month, and then got me exactly nothing for my birthday, but wouldn't break up with me. It really did a number on my self esteem. I decided that I would prefer being alone to settling for crumbs of affection from guys who just weren't that into me. In my entire life, I've never dated anyone for more than a couple of months, and it always felt like I had to tolerate a lot of BS behavior without getting much in return.

Now I'm a single mom by choice in my 40s, and I'm pretty happy. There aren't a lot of great guys out there at this age, and I don't really want to put in the huge effort to try to find one against the odds.[/quote]
