I have seen very few comments about her biological clock, actually. Even making light of the pressure she feels about it is not that amusing IMHO. You characterized your comment as jovial, but somehow my comment was a "serious generalization"? I was talking specifically about people in higher income brackets (200K+). If someone has a higher income, whether a man or a woman, that is obviously a factor that makes them more attractive in the dating pool and generally, they will have more people to choose from. Do you disagree with that?
Do you think itās LIKELY that Elle finds someone with a 200K+ income like Joe or Chris, who is nice with no personality issues, and who also wants to get married to her? I donāt think thatās likely. Possible, but not likely. Joe and Chris didnāt want to get married, at least not to her, so itās fair to put them in the ādid not want to get marriedā camp. Why did they not marry her? Because they thought they could do better. Why did they think they could do better? In part, because of their high incomes. That's what I said. I totally understood Drasticaction's point and completely agree with it, see how my comment was worded badly and explained my meaning. But after that, you continued saying that my comment was "saying that all older single people are flawed in some way," which is a complete straw man and I never said that.
If she broadened her search to include a wider range of incomes (like the same income as her old job), she could find a nice, great guy right away. 100%, without a doubt. There are lots of great single guys out there of every age. But they wonāt tick her Chris/Joe/$4000 Vancouver apartment box. Thatās why I said I donāt think sheāll find ffind someone who ticks all her boxes.
No, thank you for pointing out that my comment was worded badly, and thank you for understanding what I meant to say. I just thought that it was unfair that after I explained my meaning, someone continued saying that I said something I didn't say, but maybe that was a misunderstanding as well.
