I enjoy the single life. I date who I like, live where I choose, and travel extensively for pleasure. I don't buy into the hype that single, professional women are all desperate to find a man who earns more than they do. In fact it's completely the opposite.
We women are the new bachelors. We are the swingin' single males of our generation. Most of the men my age in my profession have settled down already. Good for them, but why should I do the same? Maybe my wandering eye hasn't yet found the right boy to take home to dad. I don't see why I should buy the cow when I can afford my own farm.
As the article says, "At the end of day, the most important thing is to be with someone who treats you well." The time may come when I meet a cute administrative assistant or kindergarten teacher who feels successful enough in his field that he's not intimidated by mine. So I'm not saying I'll never settle down... I'm just saying he has to hook me.
