Wise girls settle for Mr Good Enough

Wise girls settle for Mr Good Enough

Lori Gottlieb, the 43 year old single author, having learned from her failed experiences in dating has penned a book due out this spring:

“Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr Good Enough”. 

The reviewer suggests that Gottlieb’s “stark message ran directly counter to the neofeminist Sex and the City perpetuated mantra that we should all hold out for The One because we’re worth it.”  Feminisms however is typically anti marriage and against romantic love. 

The phenomenon of un-marrieable females goes well beyond the simple explanation offered above.  I can’t offer a few sentences to summarize what would take a novel to explain except to say that the answer is as involved as my now retired ‘black book’ is full of un-marrieable women I’ve dated over the years.

I think Kierkegaard said it best:

“If you marry, you will regret it.  If you do not marry, you will also regret it.  If you marry or do not marry, you will regret both.  Whether you marry or do not marry, you will regret both."
— Soren Kierkegaard.
