Why would anyone judge you for refusing to settle?
I think it's *awesome* that you're at a place where you know what you deserve and want, and won't settle for less!
I meant that as a general statement toward society...alot of people think women my age should be married with kids...heck my own mom thinks so....

My M-I-L thinks the same thing about my son who is almost 30 and still looking for the right girl, not settling. Whatever he does is okay with his mom.

I think yall are blinded and jaded by your age.
Twist my words. I am sooo over it.
"yesturday's over my shoulder so I can't look backwards to long, there's just to much to see waiting in front of me"
I wont look back at 40. Its a waste of time, you play the hand your delt. The woulda shoulda couldas aren't gonna help ya.
All I know is that, if they are happy, if they are going to end up having a breakdown because they are alone, is that really better than "settleing"
Friends can be supportive, but telling each other what they "need" or "are supposed to do" is just a little intrusive.

so if you've got a friend that's continually having relationships with married men and then is devastated when they don't leave their wives you're the type of friend that won't say squat. OK that's the way you are.
As far as me being blinded and jaded by my age - oh you poor thing, bless your heart.

It is too bad that you are not willing to get to know these ladies, they are sooo far from blind and jaded.

Nah. But perhaps you might be?? We all see and feel things differently at the many stages of our lives.

I prefer to think of it as wisdom gained from experience.

I s'pose I'd consider it trial-and-error. With emphasis on the error.

I have always learned more from the errors than the successes.
At my age, I am satisfied with who I am so I wouldn't change a thing, even the mistakes.
