I actually had a friend who was unmarried at 27 - beautiful woman, willowy blonde, bubbly personality, intelligent - and a guy asked her if she was married. She said no, and he asked if she was divorced (I forget how he knew her age). When she said no, he said, "Oh, no one's perfect enough for you, huh?"

She was crushed. At the time, she had just come off of a stint of working at the White House (that's how I met her), had been Homecoming Queen (she was DZ, fwiw), and had been asked to model. Her father's last words to her were, "I'm sure you'll get married sometime, Sweetie."


So, yeah, there's pressure on a lot of women. Maybe some escape it, but I'll bet the divorce rate wouldn't be quite so high if there was no societal pressure.
