Of course, we’d be loath to admit it in this day and age, but ask any soul-baring 40-year-old single heterosexual woman what she most longs for in life, and she probably won’t tell you it’s a better career or a smaller waistline or a bigger apartment. Most likely, she’ll say that what she really wants is a husband (and, by extension, a child).

I get that this article is brutally honest and all and I can understand some of the parts about wanting someone to share your life with (being lonely isn’t great) but seriously you have to generalize and say that every single woman wants a child? Really? Not to mention that being married and having kids is like the main goal of every woman…wtf?
I can tell you with great conviction as I approach 30 (ugh) that I really don’t give a shit about having a baby. I can barely handle taking care of one dog let alone a child. It’s kind of gross reading the article not to mention the comments about people who settled with someone just to breed.
It’s not the end of the world if you don’t want or can’t have kids. Sheesh. This whole thing just grosses me out.
