Two degrees?
Time you should have used and settled down, you went for another degree?
At what age did you get your first degree?
You sound like one of these ladies with an over-bloated ego due to their achievements, hence unable to humble themselves and respect men with far less achievement.
Perhaps you were waiting for a man who has three degrees... Now instead of blaming yourself, you're blaming everyone around you.
Indeed, wisdom is rare.
You've seen where it landed you. Your only option now is to adopt and be a single mother. You sound financially okay, so that shouldn't be a problem. 35 Likes |

Isn’t that the standard? Blame everyone but yourself?
That is why I will continue to commend Linda Ikeji for having that boy. She did what a right thinking woman should do. Not taking postinor 2 at 38.
If you want a child and you can cater for that child, by all means have that child. Even small girls of 21 are having their babies. Then a grown woman in her late 30s is somewhere asking “hope you didn’t cum inside”. 
I am 43. Not me.

I actually discussed this with my folks the other time.
The single lifestyle of our generation affects the female gender more than the male gender.
When you age you will understand that the most important aspect of marriage is actually companionship, sex is while you are younger but as you age.
You need a confidant, a partner no matter how hard it is you need someone.
To our single women out there, please use the opportunity now.
I have met plenty aged single women, i must confess that 85% of them aren't happy with their life. Actually, women are mentally stronger than men. They can cope with singlehood much better than men. 14 Likes |

Most men usually either don't care about the status of the lady they marry so far as she's got good character, or marry with an open heart. But you see women, I bet you 90% of them will never consider a man lower than their status irrespective of the man's character.
Madam, if you want to marry tomorrow, you will... but no, I guess you're looking for that knight in shining armor, well traveled like you, rich, educated, dark n handsome...
Now age is gradually catching up on you. Good luck 41 Likes 4 Shares |
