Insights from Chapter 1

#1

People are looking for more in a husband than just being nice and regular. They want their husbands to be passionate about their work, loving, and reliable. People start to feel like their husbands are not husband material if they don’t have these qualities.

#2

It can be difficult to find a decent man, but women should not lower their standards. They should instead be prepared to be lonely for a while, until they find someone who meets their standards.

#3

In the modern world, where there aren't as many single men, it can be difficult to meet like-minded people. However, this doesn't mean that we should ignore the available dating options.

#4

The older we get, the more difficult it becomes to find a decent guy. These women, all in their late thirties to forties, explained that they had very specific ideas about what a good man should be like, and those guys simply weren’t out there.

#5

When I was younger, I passed up on several men because they didn’t meet my rather strict and superficial criteria. I had the attitude of, I didn’t wait this long searching for The One, only to end up settling. But would I really have been settling with the red-headed chemist, the lawyer who liked the word awesome, or the software guy who happened to work until midnight as he launched his business.

#6

The women I met at the bar were embarrassed by the way they’d dismissed men in the past, evaluating every guy as either too-something or not-something-enough. They said that they would still consider dating a man with a serious addiction, a bad temper, or unkindness, because they knew they could change him.

#7

The women I spoke with all seemed to have something in common: they all married men who were similar to their ex-husbands in terms of looks and education. But what sets these new marriages apart from their ex-husbands’ is that these women are able to redefine what love is.

#8

Men say that women are becoming more difficult to date as they get older, and that the reason might be that women don’t recognize good guys when they see them.

#9

Women tend to analyze the situation too much. They are hypocritical, saying they want true love but wanting to only date men who meet certain criteria. Men, on the other hand, know early on when they’ve met the person they want to marry.

#10

The concept of a soul mate is not as important today for women to be looking for. Instead, they should be looking for a partner who accepts them for who they are, and who they can also accept for who they are.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The movie Broadcast News illustrates the choice between friendship and fireworks, and it is not an uncommon dilemma for women. However, the movie shows that the choice is new for women, and they can choose not to compromise their values in order to be with a man.
