I mean, what about being independent? I don't understand it either. Women should just enjoy thier lives & "find themselves" while they are single rather than obsess about finding a man. They don't realize that when they aren't looking is when men notice them the most. I think it's more of a competition thing & worrying wayyy too much about what other people think.

I don't think all women are manic about getting married, but I do think there is still the odd one out there that really knows what a marriage is supposed to be...as for the rest - look out cause they're probably trying to trap you. They are gold digging wenches most of them. If, and when, people get married it should never be for social or economic reason, but simply for love, and seeing as most people don't REALLY understand what that really is, then I'd say there are some that want to get married to be able to say that they are, that's all. Marriage is supposed to be a way to help ensure that the relationship is secure, that the commitment is there, but really, with the divorce rate as high as it is and the way men have to pay out the *** when there is a divorce, I don't blame them for not wanting to leap happily into marriage. Though, friendship may seem a good answer, I don't know about anyone else but I could not simply be friends with the man I truly love, it's just different. If you do find that someone out there who you cannot live without, you'll see that you would never be content to just be their friend, it's all or nothing.

Some women don't have a self identity. They rely on a man to determine who they are, what they think/believe, etc. Hence, by focusing on marriage, she will have found her identity.
I observed this in a young, soon to graduate, woman when talking to her and her friend at a college bar. She was going to have a good degree and even stated dreaming about being actress. Yet she was primarily focused on being a wife and making babies in a nice family household. My buddy and I tried to convince her to take a chance in life and pursue a dream. Spending a year of one's life at 22 trying something new is much simpler than at 32 or 42 or 52 when one might have other obligations (family, career, mortgage, etc.)

I don't think women are manic about getting married. But, we are raised in a society where you are nothing without "another half." Everyone pushes you to get married, so we grow up with that stigma.

it all goes back to how they are raised, the toys they play with when they are little. It is like little girls are "primed" for getting married and having a family from the time they are little babies themselves. Think about it. What games and toys do we buy for little girls?
