In article _DH3d.329608$Oi.248415@fed1read04, Werebat says...

The latest issue of Elle magazine has an article dedicated to tricking a
man into marriage by getting pregnant. My favorite line: "My therapist
told me it's the only way a woman can get married nowadays."

So, how long have you been reading Elle?

chuckle Very good question, Gini.

Saw the article touted on the cover while waiting in line at the grocery
store. It's not a magazine I'd purchase, or thankfully one that my GF
would be into.

man into marriage by getting pregnant. My favorite line: "My therapist

The horror... the horror...

Men don't know how to say "I don't"?

Obviously Elle magazine thinks they can't.


Read the article - I did, and Werebat presents a somewhat skewed
report of it.

My bad. I read the first few paragraphs before the line moved and I had
to put my purchases down, and by then I was disturbed enough that I
didn't really want to read the rest (besides it was time to make my
payment and get back to the car). I visited the link you posted and
read the whole thing, which ends a bit more amenably than I had suspected.

Still, what some of those women were saying near the start of the
article was scary stuff. "In fact, I'm thinking of going off the pill
myself!" UGH!

It was interesting to hear that college-educated women over 25 who are
living with their partners are the fastest-growing group of women having
children out of wedlock -- especially since my GF may be joining their
ranks in the not-so-distant future.

I agree with you. The first two pages of reading that and I just wanted to
slap the bimbo silly. I was relieved when she finally gets a clue that
maybe her baybee rabies should be second to finding someone who she actually
loves and can have a future with and who also wants those things. Why a
woman would actively seek to become an unwed mother is beyond me. What with
all the proof that kids raised by mom only tend to be much more likely to
turn out poorly. That is just selfishness pure and simple.

Run, don't walk and get a snip asap. Unless you want to, more-than-likely
end up with more cs payments because second marriages(relationships), are
even more likely to end up in divorce than first ones. I do find it odd
though that these women are suddenly becoming baby rabid because another
fast-growing group are college-educated women and men in successful careers
that choose never to have children. Childfree by choice people are
*generally* more educated and successful than childed folks. Hmmm, maybe it
has something to do with not having been married yet for these women. I
don't know and I just can't imagine.
