That was amusing and had lots of good points. Something was missing though - the men involved. You do emphasize that the women should kiss a few frogs to find the right prince, and put themselves "out there", be active, to meet people. However, when you talk about living together, you assume that men will all be satisfied with the status quo and won't want to commit, marry and have kids. Men vary, as do women. If a woman's goal is to have a family, the right prince will also want a family. She should look for the frog with similar goals to her own. Then they will be a team. Men are good for more than just sperm donation! In marriage, people need compatible partners to jointly achieve their goals. The "partnership" part is the gold standard.

Absolutely right! It is a seven-minute speech on a topic that could take a lifetime. I left a lot on the cutting room floor.

Most essential message is to make up your mind. I have an eerie feeling that deteriorating circumstances will increasingly make that the situation clearer.
