I would bet that while they were in their mid 20’s there were some nice hard working guys around that wanted to marry them but the women said no.
hard working guys around that wanted to marry them but the women said no were too self-absorbed in pursuing their own interests, or were wishing that straight men could be more like their gay friends, or just couldn't be bothered.
That's just what I saw. YMMV. :-) And, for what it's worth, my wife's old college friends are all now in their 40's, unmarried, and desperately unhappy. I'm glad that she's spending more time with the folks in our church. Far better class of people.
