I posted this today on my facebook timeline: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/roiphe/2012/02/sex_and_the_single_girl_why_american_culture_is_still_so_scared_by_single_people_.html?fb_ref=sm_fb_like_chunky&fb_source=timeline<br /><br />Along w/this commentary:<br />Indeed, interesting. Where I get pressured, is at work - by coworkers (not my current job!). And I quote, "Why aren't you married?" "Don't you want kids?" "You need to stop playing around and get serious about settling down" Uh-huh. I blow off these people with a smile and walk away - because like the honeybadger, I don't give a shit. <br /><br />However, I'll answer these questions for you: a) I have a great life w/fantastic friends. And for the most part, I get what I want because I make it happen through effort. I'm not religious, I don't want children, I keep my word (if I say I'm committed to seeing only you, then mister, I really am), and there's not an awesome tax break that I'm aware of from the government. So, logically, I would not marry. b) Kids. That's a choice. I chose no. c) Uh-huh. Well, it's just my rock'n roll lifestyle keeps me so busy screwing around at my professional career 60 hrs/week, plus my part-time job (the one I've worked along w/a full-time job going on 12 yrs), running half marathons, volunteering, traveling the world, not watching tv (going on 4 yrs now), MBA in 1.5 yrs w/3.7 gpa, spending time at the library, dating many very lucky boys, baking, hosting personal finance classes for friends, relearning French, riding bikes, watching friends pets, spending time w/friends, etc. If I "settled down," well, then that just wouldn't be fair to everyone else. I would likely get all bored, have pent up energy, and take over the world. See? It could get ugly, real fast when I'm not distracted with a variety of things. April, I do believe I'll post this on the spinster site :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14424970870151577719noreply@blogger.com
