Silently Sliding into Sprinterhood.... WOMEN.

Why is that? Better left alone? Marriage sucks! Commitment burns couple up? Modernization kills a once upon a time noble thing called marriage and family life? Tradition, financial, available suitable men? Women starting to be more logical than before?

The train stopped, passed by and women remained on the platform.

I love being single. It keeps my options open.

i too do believe that when you reach this age, women tends to enjoy their times more being single... less complications, free of commitments, give women a breather.

After all the hecks of relationship blunders on your younger years when you are still careless and carefree on making choices.

Plus, women gets mature, thus mitigating the divorce numbers. So i share Gypsy's sentiment about remaining single for a while.

Personally I think everyone should remain single for a while in their adulthood. I think it prepares you for a more mature relationship later on and eventually will cut down the divorce rate.

Wow.. that many posties in such a short time...

dmigtysolomon said ...same in being a spinster. I agree with Gypsy, if you are satisfied with your accomplishment (proffesion-wise), then good."

- Actually, nothing to do with accomplishments.

"But different stages in woman's age really have a big impact on their outlook during middle age remaining as single, thus the negative connotations!"

I'm middle aged but I don't give a rats a*** about negative connotations or basically, what anyone else thinks. Don't bother about living up to other people's expectations.

Marriage is one of those things like Communism: a fine idea in theory but often doesn't work in practice.

No problemo. I don't think marriage sucks. It depends on the choice of partner.

"Tradition, financial, available suitable men? Women starting to be more logical than before?"

No, it's cos many women are more confident of themselves, after being put down for centuries by weak character men. They suppressed their true intelligence and capabilities in order not to damage some (or rather, many) men's fragile egos. They know what they're looking for and so they will not settle for anything less.

Not all men are like that, true. And the ones who have learned (probably the hard way) to keep their egos in check - are/have been married or in long term relationships and committed to remaining that way. It does make a difference, if you observe carefully. There are some singles who are able to as well, but extremely few.

"The train stopped, passed by and women remained on the platform."

- And it's a nice platform, I must say. Sooo many gorgeous men, sooo little time!!!

connotations -

You are right, but its us as individuals who put a derogatory link to the word..

The word itself is not insulting..

sprinterhood lol?

wonderingearth...personally I dont see why women should rush into something just because society expects them to. I still believe in the sanctity of marriage but right now, there are more important things to pursue. I get asked all the time when Im going to get married. My response: when Im good and ready. If that means when Im pushing 70, so be it. Where's the problem?

First of all the term spinsterhood is insulting. Secondly in this day I see no problem with women enjoying a career and independence for awhile rather then leaping into marriage.

Cuz with more women financially independent and living away from family, they have options. They can pick and choose which parts of the mating package they want, like at a buffet. It's no longer take it or leave it.

You don't need to be married to be fulfilled romantically.

How about you Wondering? Married or single?
