Not all of them....... just the ones that are available.

You couldn't be more wrong. There are plenty of high quality human beings who are 35 and up and single. And not because they are trolls. Some people prefer to be single. It's amazing to me that anyone finds the love of their life with so many people out there. Just because you haven't made that match by the time your 35 doesn't mean you aren't worth the time of day and to say otherwise is insulting to an entire segment of the population.

++ Us blissful batchelors prefer to see ourselves as true lovers of (wo)humanity. Why limit the human experience to just one uh... companion?

So if I am still single when I hit 35 then I am not worth the time of day?

I wish I hated being single.
OK, if you're still single when you're 35, I promise I will marry you and cheat on you with a 25 year old. Hey, gotta get the tax breaks.

This is not a good deal. Plus I don't really want to be married.

I don't agree, but I can see why people think this way.

If they prefer to be single, then they're not "available", per se. Not available for a relationship, anyway, since they're specifically choosing not to be in one.

If you think that my answer is wrong, then what is your answer? Why can't docellis find a 33-36 year old guy who meets her standards?
