The Joys of RuNet!

How can I ever leave the Russian blogosphere when I receive amusing and thought provoking comments like this! :)

"Странная женщина. 42 почти года, мужа нет. Работы, видимо, толковой тоже, иначе не каталась бы по самым дешевым билетам в Москву. Детей нет. Чего в жизни добилась-то? Русский кое-как выучила, чтоб русского мужчину найти? Так они давно разобраны, у них уже дети школу заканчивают. При этом гонор ого-го какой. Высокомерно поучает, хотя в сущности пишет банальности и глупости. Вам бы к психотерапевту, тётенька."

Btw, I never see the single male bloggers on LJ being harassed or criticized for not being married. Why is that? Is it only shameful for an older woman to be single in Russian culture, but okay for men to remain unmarried and childless? My life is worthless! I don't have a Russian man...how can I survive? :)

Pleasant weekend to all!

I wonder if this mentality still sort of exists in the Mid-West? Seems women get married much younger in this part of the U.S.

I am not sure, but it seems to be class-related. The lower the class, the younger the threshold for becoming an "old maid". While in the upper middle class families it is common to wait till after 30-35, or not marry at all.
My personal worst nightmare was not being able to find a husband before my 25th b-day, though it wasn't some external pressure exerted by "mean society", I've always wanted a big family, so I set those boundaries myself :-)

Did you find him? :)

[lazicka.livejournal.com]

In the last moment, yes :-) and better yet, he found me!

Never mind the angry little people's comments, whatever their gender ;-)
