| WHY ARE WOMEN OVER 30 A FAILURE WHEN THEY ARE SINGLE AND CHILDLESS? Posted: 3/29/2009 4:54:29 PM |
I have met up with lots of preconceived crap about how a woman my age should be settled down with a husband and have kids!!!! well, i say it's all in how we want out lives to be, not all women will be mothers, not all men will be fathers! but that does not make us any less human. the times are changing and we should all be allowed to be who we are, not what others expect us to be.
Amen!!!  | |

Do you know who her supposedly "successful" married girlfriends were? No. Made babies, married some guy... left this earth without a trace or legacy.
It's what you do with your life; not just who you marry.
Who would YOU like to be? | |

Using numbers: Statistically, women who marry in 30's and above are most likely to remain married much longer than younger ones. More developed to handle life.
In life's lessons: A woman in her teens and 20's barely knows who she is as she runs around looking for assurance, at times from the wrong places.
Lastly, I have never believed it is good judgement to get married younger than 30. When d'u ever know your potential? From parents to husband? | |

| WHY ARE WOMEN OVER 30 A FAILURE WHEN THEY ARE SINGLE AND CHILDLESS? Posted: 4/19/2009 8:57:54 AM | | I'm 45, single, never married, no children, I work out 6 days a week, I'm a 5feet 8 inch tall blond with long tanned legs and a size 6 body. My life is great and now I'm thrilled to tell you includes a new boyfriend that I met on pof. He's so nice to me, I cry sometimes because I think I don't deserve him. He's worth every bad blind date that I've been on and he's more than I've prayed for - I've longed to be married and a mother since my twenties. I don't know why it has happened so late for me. I'm so in love with him that I get butterflies when he walks into a room. I'm so appreciative of him that I cry when I think how lucky I am to have found him and on the internet - girl, one day it will be your turn and you'll be amazed at how terrific your guy is for you. All of that being said, had I met my current guy in my twenties - I wouldn't have given him a second look. I liked bad boys back then and now that I'm in my forties - I realize the bad boys are doing time, dead from driving fast cars too fast on rain-slicked roads, or they have duis. Life makes you a little wiser. I so want to cherish my man and I like him as well as love him. I refuse to take him for granted - he tells me I'm who he has looked for all of his life. Life can be hard then one day snap - it just flips and there's this great guy in your life who's telling you how beautiful you are when you don't have make-up on and who thinks your body is amazing. It blows my mind to finally have someone who's that into me - it'll happen to you too - you are an amazing person who deserves the very best Life can offer. | |

Getting married or having kids is a big responsibility, and something that way to many people it seems dont take seriously enough and shouldnt be something that you just do with anybody.
The more things change the more they seem to stay the same.
It seems to me that obviously there has been to much breeding going on in some places and the evolutionary process has taken a step backward to neanderthal levels. | |

| WHY ARE WOMEN OVER 30 A FAILURE WHEN THEY ARE SINGLE AND CHILDLESS? Posted: 5/11/2009 8:27:58 PM | I dunno, but everyone judges other people, and before you say that you don't: you make value judgements about other people depending upon the people involved and the circumstances at the time. See that guy in the dark alley? Mke a judgement? Hate her hair? Think her clothes are stupid? Does that guy look like a geek? Ok, it is wrong to judge people by their appearance, but their actions...that's a different story, unless you really are interested in letting that level 2 sex offender down the street babysit your kids. Or you are tired of seeing our society destroyed by the actions of irresponsible persons whose only qualification for being a parent is that their sexual organs function. Having a child should be a choice, but the rest of society should not be forced to pay for your decision. Yes, people do judge, sorry 'bout that.
So why is a woman a "failure" if she does not have a child? Because that is what women do: have babies. And leaving all other social aspects aside, a woman who never had a child will always wonder what it would have been like, and a woman who has had achild will usually feel pride in her accomplishement...what she did. Herself. She accomplished. She made a beautiful baby and that puts her in a seperate group of people, apart from all men and childless women.
Society respects childbirth; over half of society is female and women respect other women who have been through what they have. Most of the feeling of failure comes from your own sister's attitudes. There are some things in life that many have in common, and the birthing-bed is one of the oldest shared expierence. If you have not had a baby by the time you are 40, you very likely will not, ever.
I suppose that one could say that if you don't ave a child by whatever age, you are not nescessarily a failure, but you simply are not viewed as a success among the group of peers that includes parents. As most adults are also parents, you are seeking approval from a group that you do not belong to...like a Democrat seeking approval among republicans. You cannot be a member of the Parents Club, was not "successful" in the same thing that they were, and so by default you ecome a failure, for what else is left? | |

There should be no stigma in a woman choosing to do such things. Its her life, not societies, and she is ultimately responsible to herself for setting the conditions to achieve her own happiness. If that means staying single, or refraining from childbirth, so be it. | |
