It has nothing to do with "catching a man and getting your life started" - that isn't AT ALL what she said.
Jeez, people, quit being so oversensitive. And besides, if anyone has call to be oversensitive about something like this it's the women on here who are single and actually remember when Nixon was in office.

Sorry, I still think it's crap. I think it's crap when she says it, I think it's crap when my girlfriends from college say it, I think it's crap when ANYONE says it.
Life is just life and it's a process. If you're just walking around saying dating is SUCH A BURDEN and ALL CRAP and I HATE IT SO MUCH I WISH I WAS MARRIED RIGHT NOW you're missing out on a lot of the great parts to being single, and a huge chunk of years and social stuff in your life.
