There
are plenty of women who are older than 30 and singled, and respected. I
live in the South, too, where gender roles aren't the most progressive.
It may have been true in the old days that reaching 30 meant you passed
your sell-by date, but with college, graduate school, the age of first
childbirth being pushed into late 20's and beyond, etc., that's not
true anymore.
OP, if you can just put up with the social
opprobium, you might end up la virgin like Isaac Newton... and look
what he did. There's a lot of famous virgins in the arts and sciences,
since - surprise, surprise - you happily married men will quickly find
your energy diverted towards stupid, vapid shit, and before you know it
you will be haw-hawing to American Idol with your daughters.
Point
being: if you can manage to resist the peer pressure, there's an
excellent chance you'll do something really unique with all that extra
time & energy you'll have by staying single. That, or go crazy...
but hey, other famous virgins have stuck to it, so you've got a shot at
it. |
