Maybe she just WANTS to -

Maybe a 40 year old single woman would just prefer to be killed by a terrorist instead of marrying. You've got to have some awesome upper body strength for that emotional baggage.

Now that is good comedy

"Maybe a 40 year old single woman would just prefer to be killed by a terrorist instead of marrying."

Funniest thing that's ever been written on this blog, I'm quite sure.

Maybe

Maybe a man would rather be killed by a terrorist than be married to a 40-year-old woman.

Wow

Yes, not frantically marrying oneself off to whatever flotsam happens to be floating around you at age 39 and a half definitely bespeaks "emotional baggage." Or maybe it's just unwillingness to make a lifetime commitment simply because "everybody's doing it." (Marriage - it's like the Macarena!).

Holding out for love and compatibility can never be a bad thing, no matter how long it takes.
