I haven't seen much of this article bouncing around the manosphere, and even though it's long and a typically whiny screed from a 39-year old cat lady, it will provide plenty of stuff for forum members to chew on.

Summary: A 39-year old woman looks over her love life, decides that she made the right decisions, and that marriage as a goal for everyone is an outmoded trope. She doesn't sound so convinced between the lines.
There's a lot in this article that will be familiar to regular forum readers: the breakup with a nice guy for no good reason, women not wanting to marry down, the need to describe romantic failure as some sort of subversive position to take against the patriarchy, sad tales of adventures along the cock carousel, etc. Susan Walsh of Hooking Up Smart even gets a few lines mostly summing up how Alphas get most of the sex.
It is long-winded, so I forgive you if you can't finish it, but see how far you get and see what you think.
