My roommate (whom I like and am happy for despite this rant) came home this morning from a first date she went on last night with a guy she'd never before and was set up with.

I dunno. Call me jaded but I've had lots of great first dates that didn't materialize into lasting relationships. SO I don't take much stock into those first dates anymore.

I feel exactly the same way.. It seems like some people get all the luck and finesse in life, and the rest of us get thrown by the wayside. Makes me wonder if there is such a thing as past lives and what I did that was so wrong in one of them to deserve being invisible to the male population. Instead, I sleep alone and make the same wish over again, a wish that never comes true. Though, it does help to know that I'm not the only one abandoned by cupid.. Stay strong girl!

"My assessment is that some of us grow up and others don't. Those of us women who grow up and become mature adults just don't quite attract the men anymore."

I hear you! It certainly feels like this! It seems that men only want the juvenile women or easy women who have no confidence in who they are. Hence, there are only a very small handful that actually appreciate worthwhile mature women. Ug, it does sound cynical, but there tends to be some truth in the subjects that people are cynical about.

"The truth is that women do mature faster- both physically and emotionally- and we take on responsibility sooner.

"I do think that this love thing happens easier for some people, but I also think they will have a harder time in another area of life."

I agree with this statement! I'm in a relationship right now that I'm very happy in...but there are DEFINITELY areas of my life in which I have a hard time. A very hard time.

And I truly believe that sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time. Only problem is, you never know where the right place or when the right time is. It's kind of a "roll of the dice."

Now that's not fair. There are times I act and sound 12 and there are times I do 62, or even 72. It's boring to be one age all the time.

Not strictly true. Around 14 I started growing like crazy, needing new sets of underwear every couple of weeks. The older ones simply couldn't contain me. By 16 I had reached full maturity and stood tall, heavily front weighted -- if you know what I mean.
