| Like everyone, I think and worry about the future and wonder where I’ll be in the final decade or so of my life. With at least another 20 years of work ahead of me, I don’t know whether I’ll be comfortably off or stony broke, and I hope that the good health I’ve enjoyed so far won’t desert me later on. One thing I’m pretty sure of, though, is that I’ll be on my own, with no spouse to look out for me or children to visit.

A selfish, self-centered narcissist awakens to the fact that she is now old, alone, and undesirable. No sympathy here.

i don't understand how anyone could not foresee the consequences of living a selfish life past the point where youthful attractiveness helps to entice a man to marry you. When aging Boomer men start dying off, there will be millions of older women, very few younger people per capita to support them, and these younger people will be buried under huge government debt. It's going to be a perfect storm of consequences.

This is what happened to my old girlfriend and ex-fiance from the '60's. She chose the free-love lifestyle over a stable relationship and now is bitter old single lady devoid of family and true friends. I feel sorry for her.

Lose a few stone and put on some makeup. And quit making excuses for your bad lifestyle choices. You reap what you sow.

fta: When it came to men, our attitude to them was the same as it was towards the latest must-have handbag: only the best would do, no compromises should be made, and even then it would be quickly tired of and cast aside. ~~~
And now you are exactly where you designed your life to end up. Old, alone, and unwanted and that is how you will die unless you make some serious changes in your attitude. Is it any shock men don't want you now?
No pity from my corner. I am one of those women you pitied, insulted, and belittled. I am one of those women who married in her 20's and had a child and gave up a career for love, companionship, and stability. No regrets... you can not say the same.

FTA: "Being single still has some incredible upsides — the biggest being the disposable income and the freedom to self-indulge."
How sad that in this entire article there is nothing to indicate what she has done for others. Instead, she has lived her life for herself. She thinks it might be a good thing to have someone to cook for. Didn't she ever have a friend or neighbor who needed that?
FTA: "I’d urge them to continue having the time of their life … but also, perhaps, to keep one eye on the lonely middle-age that is waiting to knock on their door."
It doesn't have to be that way. Instead of waiting for someone to knock on her door, why doesn't she knock on someone's door instead? You don't have to go far to find someone who needs a friend. And that's a good remedy for loneliness. Her selfishness will never cure that.

It's a problem. But probably the woman's arrogance is the overarching problem. She won't settle for less than a perfect man: and how perfect is she and what efforts does she make to be more perfect?
These leftoids like hildebeast clitton want to throw out all the old wisdom but they really haven't solved the problems anew. It's a sort of vacuous monovision: I know what I don't like so I'll just improvise with what feels good.

We all make choices with our lives.
The more selfish the choices, the worst they tend to be in the long run.
She made a lot of selfish choices in her younger days. But, even at her age, there are a lot of eligible guys who would like to have a relationship with a woman like her. But old habits die hard, and she still wouldn't give those guys the time of day. Not handsome enough, don't make enough money, etc, etc, etc...

Claudia and her ilk sneered at us when we ''settled'' for imperfect mates, never realizing they themselves were imperfect as well. They cry into their child-free Louis Vuitton purse collection that the party is over, they are now past their sell-by date, and want their youth back so they can rectify their mistakes.

I know women like this too. Some are selfish and narcissistic, some aren't.
Part of the blame lies with our Leftist entertainment/media/advertiser complex that has pushed the "men (and fathers) are idiots -- who needs them?" meme for several decades now. "Murphy Brown" was just one of many manifestations in our pop culture media.
Even more to blame are the '60s feminists, especially Betty Friedan and her acolytes. Their motivation for destroying motherhood and the family came from their Marxist roots.
I'm sorry for the many women who were naive enough to got sucked in by these Leftists ... and then grew old and learned the truth too late.

Thank goodness this self-absorbed, selfish woman didn't reproduce. She's just mourning that she can't get any more "action" because all the eligible men her age, that meet her exacting standards, want women half her age.

The problem is, she wants to have it both ways. She wants to be in a relationship, but didn't pursue marriage. There is nothing wrong with being single if that is your choice or if it is your choice not to marry someone just for the sake of getting married. A bad marriage is worse than being single. But people have to acknowledge the choices they have made and live with them.

Too many women need to understand men aren't 'fixer-upers,' so stop with the bad boy nonsense. On the other hand selfish, ego centered people are always a pain. I'd say quit crying and get it in gear, but if she hasn't figured some of this out by now, probably not going to get a clue. First hint, spouses look out for each other, not just you.

As a journalist, she was mass produced in a cookie cutter factory and duly excreted with a fixed load of "values" which are actually corrosive, counter productive, destructive, even treasonous. Her "professional" efforts have furthered the degradation of western culture. No doubt she is now considering becoming a muzzie. The illogic continues...
I feel sorry for her as reality bites.

Renowned author Dan Brown woke up in his luxurious four-poster bed in his expensive $10 million house – and immediately he felt angry. (snip) The critics said his writing was clumsy, ungrammatical, repetitive and repetitive. They said it was full of unnecessary tautology. They said his prose was swamped in a sea of mixed metaphors. For some reason they found something funny in sentences such as “His eyes went white, like a shark about to attack.”

Mark Sanford has won the South Carolina special election in a competitive race for what in normal circumstances is a safe Republican seat. The former governor beat Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert Busch, for the state’s 1st congressional district. The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.

Most countries in the world have irrelevant numbers of "immigrants." In the Americas, for example, only Canada, America, and the British West Indies have significant non-native populations. In Mexico, immigrants account for 0.6 percent of the population, and that generally negligible level prevails all the way down through Latin America until you hit a blip of 1.4 percent with Chile and 3.8 percent in Argentina. (Snip) But profound sweeping demographic transformation through immigration is a phenomenon only of the western world in the modern era, and even there America leads the way.

Shortly after Barack Obama finished his press conference after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s dramatic apprehension last night, a Russian newspaper reported that the president did not mention the “Russian footprint” in his address. (Snip) “Putin has repeatedly said there is no such thing as our terrorists and somebody else’s,” Peskov said. “One must not differentiate between them, deal with some and condemn others. They all deserve the same approach, the same rejection.” This was a reference to America’s vocal defense of the Chechen separatists in the 1990s

As is now traditional in these stories, we’re now being told that the Brothers Tsarnaev are merely the latest card-carrying members of Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves. No broader pattern can be discerned, or should be discerned. All jihad is local. Nobody could have seen this coming: Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appeared to lead normal lives If by “normal lives”, you mean reported to the US Government by a major foreign power as possible terrorists, interviewed by the FBI, had your citizenship application put on hold, and cheerily posting a series of videos

Mahatma Gandhi is quoted in his book, Gandhi: The Power of Pacifism, by Catherine Clement, as follows: While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam. Gandhi was referring to the experience during his lifetime in the Indian sub-continent, but the growth of Wahhabism and the current resurgence in Islamic triumphalism since Gandhi´s death in January 1948 now poses an increasingly existential threat to the West,

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
