When you are 50+, without a husband or children, having spent your life, cherishing most those moments where you had "pure raw animal sex," and have nothing but a host of men and some mediocre career under your belt ... get back to me on the "variance" in human nature.
Do you pay attention to anything?
I've stated numerous times that I do not ever want to have children and that I plan on getting my tubes tied as soon as it is possible to find a doctor who will perform the procedure.
Getting married isn't something that's on my priority list
at all.
As for the 'mediocre' success in my career, well, that's quite an understatement. I am the youngest engineer in employ at my company, and I currently head the technical department having been promoted over others with more seniority because of my abilities. I also run a successful private computer consulting business, and have the luxury of quoting and billing any hourly rate I choose.
As for those moments of 'raw animal sex', I do cherish them, thank you.
In closing, please, continue to spend your time stewing over whether or not I'll be bitter when I'm over 50 years old. I imagine that when I am >50, married or not and definitely without kids (as I have chosen to be), I will look back and smile and think about you, who spent all of your youth being bitter at those who love their lives.
