Applause for Unmarried Women

Jul 12

I loved reading this recent article in More magazine. The title of the article/slideshow is: What Me, Marry?

I am in awe of women like Mary Louise Parker, who famously dumped while VERY pregnant. She went on to adopt a little girl from Ethiopia and win multiple awards for her work as an actress.

A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs ...

 

The article also tips the hat to women like Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Silverman, who both take the “just say no” attitude towards marriage.

It also has a great quote from the great Patricia Clarkson: “I don’t consider the fact that I’ve dated several men in my life and not married one a failure. I consider that a good time!”

First Date Tips

But, if you’re on a first date and the guy doesn’t ask you a SINGLE question about yourself …

Lose his number. Chances are, he’s an egotistical jerk and every single thing will always be about him, him, him. Screw that.
