What Women Want

An article in the Guardian's G2 today about a 33-year-old woman going through what sounded like hell and high water to freeze her eggs because she hadn't met the right man yet reminded me of an article I read in The Telegraph three months ago.

The Telegraph article reported that a survey of 3,103 men and women commissioned by vitamin supplement firm, Vitabiotics, had revealed that 56 per cent of the women questioned would ask a male friend to father a baby with them if they felt they had not met the right partner.

Expectations are so high it is as if we think life is always happening somewhere else.

i guess i don't know that many people, but i don't think i've actually met a woman who had a child with a friend because they hadn't met the right partner.

those statistics would suggest that i should have. hm.
