While I think there may be some truth to both assertions, I don't believe there is an epidemic of either.<br /><br />I agree that singleness should not automatically denote failure, but not attaining one's goals is failure (in one sense of the word), and most people have a genuine desire to fall in love with someone who reciprocates; this is not just a social construct.<br /><br />It may also be that many women implicitly realize that the advantages youth and beauty confer fade fast and they may be forced to find a mate without them if they do not marry quickly once they attain adulthood.Jokah Macphersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185675633464395897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9378354.post-57624709449044123152009-09-09T16:30:42.164-04:002009-09-09T16:30:42.164-04:00Great article!

I agree, all of us, both us men and women, are responsible for our own happiness. <br /><br />It is by becoming a whole person by cultivating our relationships with God or higher power, with our family, friends, peers, and with our self that we can also create the best foundation for a happy romantic relationship.Mikko Kemppehttp://www.relationship-journal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9378354.post-27568331960967785742009-09-09T08:02:53.075-04:002009-09-09T08:02:53.075-04:00Thanks for weighing in, Anonymous!

I agree; it doesn't matter who we are -- whether we're a man or a woman, Asian or English or American -- we all want to be loved.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260512756626485548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9378354.post-14651222639849925782009-09-08T14:57:02.324-04:002009-09-08T14:57:02.324-04:00Dear concerned reader,
