Er, actually, now that I think about it, I am really not seeing that much of this in real life. Regarding the women I know in real life, I am not seeing the same self-destructive patterns. Remember I attend a vocational technical college rather than a typical party school. That means these people are serious about their futures, including the women. Like myself, they are mostly in their early twenties.
Unlike the dumbazzs I keep reading about in the glossy magazines, the majority of them are married. Married or engaged, mostly married.
I greatly admire and respect them for doing this. This means they made the emotional commitment, they made the [[[emott]]] investment, and they took the plunge. They found someone they wanted to spend the rest of their life with, they found love, and they went ahead and took care of that momentous step. Now they just have to make sure the marriage works. (It probably will. Some of the older ladies in those same classes have been married for twenty years and stuff.) I say that's good. Why wait?
No more hemming and hawing, none of that mess about wringing their hands in agony. Or dissecting every single syllable of conversation they just had on a date, or (roll eyes) wondering if the guy they had a one-night stand with will call. (Heh, the weird stuff you find out from these magss.)
A legitimate question might be, “well, if’en you are not seeing this in your own real life, encounter it with real genuine tangible people, then why worry?”
The answer is, I can't just be cozy in my little cocoon of an enclave here. I have to be aware of what’s going on in the world. There is no reason for not being aware of it. I can’t just bury my head in the sand like an ostrich, and pretend all that nefarious mess is not happening.
