In summation: Don’t be so picky, the pool gets really thin after 40, and guys tend to happily marry because they don’t have such long lists of conditions as women while women end up accidentally alone waiting for a guy who doesn’t exist.
Just: Don’t be so picky.

The author does an excellent piece of reporting, finding the actual men that she and a group of friends chose not to marry back in the day, interviewing them, and then, the women who did marry them. She ties in research studies, expert interviews, her own experience with experimental mating strategies and her gut reactions to same. Her conclusion, after analyzing why women are prone to creating long, impossible to fulfill lists of criteria, is that the pool of available men shrinks after 40 (snapped up by more realistic women), and too many conditions can “list� you right out of the market. She makes suggestions to adjust this state of mind, and tries to take her own advice.

I strongly recommend this to any women in their 30’s who are hoping/planning/expecting to marry, “someday�, when the “right guy comes along�. READ THIS.

This was hilarious to read back to back with Chastened: The Unexpected Story of My Year without SexChastened, by a 30 year old woman with all the options in the world, spurning most of them. I was thinking the whole time, “Yeah, report back in a decade, how about.�

Well written, with an excellent balance of personal narrative and external analysis.
