I mean, she will summarily dismiss someone she sees, saying things like "No, I don't want to go and say hi, his nose looks a little crooked" or "He's drinking dark beer, ew!" I'm trying to figure out a way to tactfully say that she should lower her expectations a bit.....

Hand her a mirror...


And then you reminded me of this...

You beat me to it.

She has high expectations for somebody who isn't so high on the expectation ladder herself.

I know so many women who turned 29 and absolutely freaked out because they weren't married. Almost every one of them who married the next warm body who came along is now divorced.

I blame the whole biological clock bit. I was only 21 the first time I heard, "Better get going - there's only so many years you have for children!" I don't think I even knew anyone at 21 with whom I would want to spend the rest of my life!
