She says it will take a man of means to tempt her away from the attractions of home. “Some of my married friends have moved to much smaller houses. I don’t really want to sacrifice my comfort, so I’d have to marry someone who earns twice as much as I do,” she said.
“At the moment I can spend my money on anything I like.”
It is hardly the politest of expressions - but Yukiko Matsumoto and her friends are known in Japan as “parasite singles”.
I think these parasites singles are materialistic, that is they are more of selfish, they want what makes only themselves satisfied, and according to the writings wealth make them satisfied. They weighs a person with what he has right now. If they ar put in a position where there have a person with a lot of wealth even if he is aged, and there's person a young one and lets say is a medical student with a lot of potential of being a good earning doctor in the future, the parasites singles will opt for the first one.
I call them selfish because in their dreams, there is no place for the dreams of the person they are going to marry.
my friend's mom works at a salon in nyc. (u know how clients tell their hairdresser EVERYTHING about their lives) so..she has these ladies coming in who are rapidly approaching 40 and are regretting the fact that they rejected all the men that proposed to them when they were younger because they thought these proposals would always be there. now they kinda wish they could settle down.
but pros are- they had kick ass fun and independence while they were younger with nothing to tie them down.
so u see it all balances out in the end.
i just remembered a quote in the beginning of "the alienist " ...those who would be young when they are old, must be old when they are young.
I like babies but im not ready for one of my own.
I have my pets.
They're cute.
I don't have to find a babysitter for them.
And they don't cry.
And theyre soft to hold.
PCG: sugar gliders are, according to AOL (because i'm too lazy to type it out): Sugar glider is a small Australian marsupial that can glide up to 164 feet (50 meters) between one tree and another. Sugar gliders can run across open ground to reach another patch of trees. Their gliding mechanism consists of skin flaps that stretch from the fifth finger of each hand to the hind toe on their feet, thus forming rectangular wings. When climbing or running, a sugar glider folds this membrane close to its body.
The sugar glider's name comes from its liking for sweet foods. These animals eat wattle gum and sweet liquids produced by insects that suck sap. They also bite into eucalyptus trees to drink sap. The sugar glider grows up to 15 inches (40 centimeters). The tail accounts for about half this length.
Sugar gliders are fairly common in northern and eastern Australia, and in New Guinea. The closely related yellow-bellied glider lives in eastern and southeastern Australia. It cuts large V-shaped notches in the bark of many kinds of trees.
