Older women & insanity?
 

I have a question that needs the wisdom (or whatever you want to call it) of OOT.

My brother just turned 32. He's single, good job, not gay, does okay with the ladies. He does not, however, currently have a girlfriend. He was over having drinks last night, we're shooting the [censored] and he wanted my opinion. He said that except when he goes young, a lot of the women he ends up dating are divorced, and it's not always easy to see why. He's a little leery of getting too involved with anyone crazy, having been burned in that area at least once.

His question to me, which I ask to OOT: Which do you think are more likely to be insane, divorced women or women who are still single in their 30s, and why?.

(BTW, so that this isn't an overly sexist question, the same thing applies to men, although I'd personally substitute creepy for insane)

I don't understand why a divorced woman or a single woman in her 30s would be insane [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well the spinsters may have never married because they were crazy, while the others may have gotten dumped because they were crazy. I think the fact that they're female is probably a bigger indication that they're crazy than the divorced/unmarried thing.

all women are insane.

I voted the single women, but I can't say I have much experience. I'd expect a larger fraction of the divorced women have had some sense smacked into them when they got divorced.

Clear, concise, and too the point. Ok, who took over Jake's account? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
