For the most part I do not like reality shows and I won't watch them. That being said however, last night I was on the phone with someone who was watching the Bachelor so I tuned in momentarily to see the part where they introduce all the women. It got me thinking. Where do they find all these attractive single women in their 20's and 30's? I personally know a rapidly diminishing few. The older I get, the more of my friends, family, and generally anyone in my age demographic, are getting married, having babies, and "settling down". Personally, I don't necessarily feel that I am ready to take these steps in my life. But it seems like I'm the only one who feels this way. It's sort of depressing because I worry that I am missing out somehow. I think that surely there must be other women out there like me and if only I could find them and befriend them, we could assure each other that despite societal pressures from every other direction, we know there is nothing wrong with us. So when I sometimes see single women my age and older on tv, I feel a little better somehow. I look at them and think, "well, she's still single and she seems to be an attractive and interesting young woman." But then I remember that these women actually wanted to go on national television and compete with dozens of other women for the same guy and I realize they're not like me at all.
