Hello!
I'm new here :-)....when I first came upon these forums I saw the Single Adult thread right off! LOL
Having been single all my life, and living here in Happy Valley UT for the last 27 years, I've seen quit a bit of the Single Life...all the good the bad and the ugly! I think I've heard every crazy, far-out, sob story there is to tell about why we LDS singles divorce or never marry. This week is the annual LDS Singles Conference for the 31 and over, held every June here in Orem. I've been to this Confernce almost every year since I moved to UT. I attend as many singles activites as I can. Fortunatly, they are in abundance year around here. Sometimes I don't know what is worse....having a smorgasborg of available singles, with tough competition...or having fewer to choose from so you stick out more, instead of being surrounded by other women who are prettier, taller, skinnier, smarter, etc, than me. :-)
I personally believe it's the men who are the more picker ones. They want that ' trophy ' on thier arm. Especially in my age group, the over 45's. Women my age are left behind for the younger women. The older I get, the worse it is. I only want to date men in my own age group, between 45 and 55, but that age group wants 30, even 20 year olds....lol...so what does a girl do?
I've pretty much resolved myself to the fact I will probably be alone the rest of my life....fortunatly, I live a full life with a great career, lots of good friends, active in activies and traveling and starting my own business soon. It does get loney at times, but ah well...if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. :-)
