That makes two of us!

If your only intention is to "snap up" a man as if he were a cute dress at a sample sale, I suppose you could do it if you tried. If you really want an equal relationship, though, you should probably rethink looking at men in this manner.

P.S. Those "best men" who are "snapped up" early? Get back to them when they're 40+ and see how many of them are still with their snapper, or if they are, if they're happy.

I agree! I love books and my cat. I already told my sister and my friend when all of our husbands kick it, we're moving to Florida and starting the Crazy Old Lady Cat Hoarder Ranch.

I did have the perfect guy in college, I graduated a year before he did and while I was waiting for him to get out, he dumped me for his now wife! I didn't have much interest in getting married anyway, and since I didn't want kids there was no time pressure to do so, but I did marry Mr. AOIILisa #1 at age 33 and divorced him 10 years later. I had been with Mr. AOIILisa #2 for 7 years before we decided to make it legal last year, and I couldn't be happier.

I have five or six single/never married friends in their 40s/50s so I know it's not always that easy to meet people after college, though I personally never had any shortage of men to date. One finally just had a baby last year via artificial insemination because she just got tired of waiting for Mr. Right.
