We already discussed Hannah Rosin's spinster regret "All the Single Ladies" from The Atlantic magazine. Lori Gottlieb whines similarly about needing a sperm donor at age 40.
My advice is this: Settle!
The Case for Settling for Mr. "Goodenough"
I liked the comment by Shawaone:
Ms. Gottlieb really thinks a man’s role should be ... to take “out the trash and set up the baby gear, and he provides a second income.” In other words, a cash machine/servant/babysitter who you never have to have sex with, but will still massage your back for way longer than “two minutes.” ... Realistically, the author should just marry some poor sap and promptly get divorced [for an undisturbed] transfer of material wealth.
