A lot of talk exists among singles about how women are evaluating men for their financial stability. I've addressed this issue in my article "Money, Honey." But what I've found just as disturbing, is men judging women based on the age of their ovaries. Aside from men evaluating women on the obvious externals -- you know, like how much she looks like Barbie, or not -- I've been hearing more and more about how the only criteria that men are using to choose a life partner is her perceived ability to produce children. While I could talk for a long time about what men and women should be looking for in a partner, I'm just going to say this(which should be obvious, but unfortunately frequently it is not): Age has not been conclusively shown to be a factor in a woman's ability to get pregnant and bear children. There are many women in the world who are in their "childbearing prime" (ages 16 - 30) who are infertile. The reason for infertility is frequently unknown. In addition, there are many women who are over 35 years of age who very easily can bear children. All in all, ovaries are very funny organs. They can be a big mystery, even to scientists. So I suggest that all singles work on judging one another by focusing on the qualities and characteristics that are known to contribute to a loving and gratifying relationship. Why not give it a try?
