I often feel this way since the 20s was also the period in which I developped meaningful long-term relationships, the period when the average man/woman get married, etc. I totally agree that the tolerance level gets lower and lower as one gets older. I am now 32 and it gets frustrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-91915023631251447052011-09-09T16:39:56.987-04:002011-09-09T16:39:56.987-04:00Hi Batman!Hi Batman!Stefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-76988545756565262342011-09-09T16:39:33.357-04:002011-09-09T16:39:33.357-04:00I mean single people who decide not to get married...I mean single people who decide not to get married.

What do you mean single people? You mean s...@ Stef<br /><br />What do you mean single people? You mean single people who dont date anyone or single peaple that date someone but are not married to each other? Im just curious so I can understand better, and your question is a good one. <br /><br />Relationships do take work, because your constantly learning the person. I believe marriage can be a beautiful thing if both people are willing to committ to it and honor it. Marriage is suppose to be forever. And its seems some of society takes it way too likely. As if some people get married for fashion and take it for granted.. and thats not cool. Its suppose to be something two people share that really love each other, not their money or status, and material things of what they can get. And thats has gotten lost in alot of ways no days. <br /><br />People should take there time before approaching the alter and date and absorb as much as possible. And it when it feels right. Not many people may not feel they need to rush to the alter becuase the are married and commited to one another in their hearts and souls on a higher level that they may say a piece of paper does not signify who they are and what they feel. A marriage license is something "man" made. But taking the legalize way it cool too, its what ever floats your boat.Sillouettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-77617403012768837582011-09-09T15:15:04.514-04:002011-09-09T15:15:04.514-04:00Kinda lovin' Cable Guy right now, and Jay...ev...Kinda lovin' Cable Guy right now, and Jay...even though Brooke still don't want you man! LOL!<br /><br />Jay on the other hand, he can get it ;)<br /><br />I can't even picture Brooke dating a hood dude. She's too classy for that - which is probably why she's single. Not many men out here up to her stnadards...or most women's standards. And the ones that are are snatched up already.<br /><br />Dating is hard all around, but een moreso the older you get and the more wise you become. I'm beginning to wonder if single people know something married people don't - like maybe single is better.

Its living and learning. Who want s live their life in repeat of the same BS. Sometimes you dont know what you will and will not tolerate until you go thru it. Reasonable lists are okay, Shoot everyone has a standard. But waiting for that right one to come is not a bad thing.

They know she's not to be messed with, and women who are sure of themselves and have their shit together scare weak men away. Unfortunately, we have a surplus of bitchass men out here who don't know how to step to be the man they need to be to get a woman like her, so they look for weaker minded women to deal with. <br /><br />It actually makes perfect sense why Brooke is still single, cuz she won't settle.

I think women mature sooner than men, and want the marriage and kids sooner. <br /><br />Men don’t want those things until later in life so they tend to play the field longer. Either that or they get married earlier than they should, have kids, get divorced, and then become jaded and don’t want to get married anymore or have more kids. I think Brooke nailed it with that one. <br /><br />I think I’m going to wind up marrying a man who is like 10 years older than me, who is too old to run around and chase every ass in sight. He’ll be the “old guy in the club” and that’s when he’ll be ready to settle down :)Courtneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-52578853055042916952011-09-09T12:34:53.285-04:002011-09-09T12:34:53.285-04:00I'm doomed!I'm doomed!-V-noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-87351386074005712642011-09-09T12:30:12.150-04:002011-09-09T12:30:12.150-04:00I can't picture Brooke being gangsta, but I WI...I can't picture Brooke being gangsta, but I WILL say she doesn't take no shit.

Women in their 20's are silly to me, and maybe because I have a son, I don't have time for bullshit.

My experiences have been a bit differ...Great topic. My experiences have been a bit different but I agree that you just get to know yourself better with time. I'm 33 now and I don't go on many dates and have never been in a committed relationship, like <b>ever</b> (there was a boy in 7th grade...we "dated" for a Saturday and Sunday. LOL). I've gone with the flow, rather than take charge, which was my own fault. I know I need to be more aggressive in certain areas (but not a chaser). <br /><br />I've been accepting of courtships or friendships that developed into "friendships with benefits" and those never seem to end in real relationships. So, I'm welcoming these 30s (well, mid-30s) as a time that I'll find someone to be committed to and enjoy these years with. If it takes awhile for that to happen, that's fine. Maybe it means the Universe doesn't think I'm fully ready for it. I'm hopeful it'll happen for me soon, but I'm done chasing it. I believe this time, this "late blooming" -if you will- of mine is only molding me into a better person who's more sure of herself and her decisions. <br /><br />I think when you're in the right place spiritually, mentally and emotionally, the person designed for you will find you. The pieces will fit together.Yolandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522625214853436462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-41873539358847744722011-09-09T12:20:27.721-04:002011-09-09T12:20:27.721-04:00Almost doesn't count STEF!!! LMAO
Knowing Bro...Almost doesn't count STEF!!! LMAO<br /><br />Knowing Brooke the way I know her she seems like a pretty easy going person & a person that you can get along with instantly. Personally I am actually surprised that she is still single. Heck if I was into women I'd date her! LMFAO.<br /><br />But I can see why she has problems dating. She knows herself VERY well and is VERY secure in herself. So the BS that a regular man will bring just isn't going to do. Any man trying to play games or who isn't coming correct will be shown the door. And as nice as she is. She can be gangsta.. to the point that it is comedic.. LMAO<br /><br />I can honestly say that I agree that it isn't impossible. Especially since Brooke (unlike a lot of people) is willing to give people a chance. YES she has her list of things that aren't going to fly with her BUT she will give a pass on things some people normally wouldn't.(ie: Kids, divorce, etc) I think when you limit your choices your chances to find love at any age decrease so you have to be mindful that you aren't ruling out Mr/Mrs Right on a technicality.Annamariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976389983631567750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-2387502552438164522011-09-09T12:11:27.462-04:002011-09-09T12:11:27.462-04:00This is a great post, and I agree with you 100%.

Once you reach your 30's, you know yourself well enough to know what you want and don't want - so the trick is finding someone who is at that same point in his or her life.
