I'm sorry, but after reading this weighty tome in the Atlantic by a 39 year-old loser, who could never manage to hang on to a man, I shake my head in disbelief at how people can screw their own lives up and call it Heaven. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/11/all-the-single-ladies/8654/?single_page=true# |

A real piece of work, that one. What I find particularly amusing is her attitude towards her own situation. She sounds like she's proud of her hindsight and the deep, insightful revelations she's made about herself at the learned age of 39, and she has no idea whatsoever how common her experiences are. This is every other story I hear on the ****ing bus to class and she thinks it's perceptive. I seriously can't stand people my own age sometimes. |

No, I'm sorry, I have to continue with this. This is a trainwreck.
She seems to have a problem with mixed metaphors. Are we climbing staircases or are we attending parties? Judging from her limited background I'd say that party metaphors are about the limits of her own "powers of imagination." This is pop analogy for pretend intellectual wankers.
She knows nothing of the social norms and family arrangements of her own people. The "family arrangements" of historical Western Europe and Scandanavia were nothing even remotely close to this. This is just some urban chick disappearing up her own asshole. This is what happens when writing becomes lazy, uninformed and agenda-driven. |

Everybody has more than one suitable mate out there, but Miss Perfect or Mr. Right does not exist. At least her biological clock is about done and she'll not reproduce. |
