it's referring to that book...
This particular article refers to that book mentioned by Weisman, which was written for men. Nothing wrong with a woman not being married, as you will see in DePaulo's other articles! It's just not the focus of today's post.
This book makes me think of my mother's reaction when I told her about a good friend of mine, a single 38 year old man. "Has he ever been married?" she asked. "No," I said. "What's wrong with him?" she said. "Nothing! He just doesn't want to get married!!!!" Ugh. And NO he doesn't have commitment issues either...
P.S. A funny retort I used for that question the other day was "No one's good enough for me" (which is true). Or to be more polite (and not "arrogant", which I was accused of being): "I'm not looking to get married. I have more important priorities in my life."
