[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]In my 20s there was a tremendous amount of pressure to have a bf/fiancé/somehow be working towards marriage, so standards were lower. My friends and I all dated some real losers.

Once I hit 30 I was done dealing with men’s B.S. If I was going to compromise my life for someone, they had to be amazing. [/quote]

The problem with that strategy is that you are demanding that men be more amazing at the same time as YOU have become less amazing. You expect increasingly attractive (in terms of status and income) men to cater to the whims of an increasingly less attractive (physically) woman. It should be obvious that the math doesn't work there.[/quote]

You're forgetting that I didn't care if I was in a relationship or not. The only strategy was to better my own life and enjoy it with or without a man.

Funny thing is, the pickier I was, the more high quality men were interested in me, and I married a great guy despite being "less attractive" than I was in my 20s. If I were to get divorced, I'd be totally fine with being single. I don't need a husband for status or income, those are easy enough to earn myself. [/quote]
