My girlfriends here in BA are mostly angry because of inequities here. If they don't hook up with a guy in their 20s, there is very little chance for them to get married later. They are considered over-the-hill in their 30s and forget it in their 40s and beyond. Because there are more single women than available men, it sets up an environment of the hunter and the hunted. The women hunt and the men run. When they get a date, it is usually once or twice and that's it. As they age, they have more fear about losing their jobs to younger women/men. I am talking about beautiful, smart, very likeable women!! After a while, they mostlly give up on finding a mate and develop this tough outer shell. It's really quite sad.
I know this does not apply to ALL the women here and I'm not generalizing. I am talking about the 20 or so women that I know here.
