set in during the dot.com boom, I wondered why. I studied people young and old to see what inherent superior value younger people could possibly have. Now, at 50, I have come to the conclusion that people under 30, while more attractive in a highly fertile kind of way, are virtually bereft of depth, intrigue or unique view points. This woman is an identity waiting to happen. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I hope she A. realizes this and B. focuses on nurturing her own interests. I won't even bother to slag her for falling prey to the search for identity through romantic relationships. It's the mistake almost all we woman are doomed to make.
