    Yes I would be worried. I don't want my little girl to grow up to be some bitter cat lady. I probably won't be able to do anything about it at that point but I would definitely be worried.

    Most of the IC ladies are this

    I don't like cats. Explains why I don't like your ? ass.

    Goated. I think some people selfishly take themselves into account for that lifestyle and they don't want better for their child.

    What? What does that even mean?

    "I don't have a man, you don't need one either". You don't think some moms say that to their daughters?

    "Need" isn't healthy. Js

    I don't know anyone who's used themselves as an example per se, more like a child learning by example.

    Lol..wut.

    I don't know any mothers that have said that.

    I'm certainly not saying that. I would love my daughter to find someone that enhances her life, that makes her a better person and truly loves her. That said, the odds of her finding that man are greater if she focuses on herself first. Live life, educate yourself, traditionally or not, find your calling in life, find what makes YOU happy and then find the man that will compliment that..then you don't end up needing some man, you end up wanting him.

    That's my wish for her. Be happy in whatever choices you make in life. Don't feel the need to conform so your mom feels a certain way..that would make me sad.

    Got an aunt like that lol...the issue is that she's never brought anyone home to my knowledge...like ever...not even prom or anything lol. So if it was like that yea I'd be concerned for her social skills or lack thereof cuz to not have any romantic experiences, you missing out on a big part of life.

    Yes
    Reconsidered my vote. I'd only be concerned if she was seeking that life for a long time and didn't get it. If she didn't want it, then I couldn't care less

    most people are ? anyway......

    i think it's rare as ? for two geunine and loyal people to find each other and actually have a healthy marriage

    Ehh I don't think it's because people are ? , though make no mistake I do think 98.9% of the human population are ? individuals. I think it literally boils down to people going by the examples they see. You see healthy relationships you tend to think they're possible. You don't see them, you don't think they're as likely.

    Too many people don't know the difference between the bold...and just as many don't know how to be vulnerable enough to let somebody truly know that they want them. It's the cool thing to give no ? and claim you need nobody
