Ok, so I'll admit that I dabble in the online dating websites. I've paid some bucks here and there to get an account so I can send an email to a girl. It's not all it's cracked up to be. I would say it has the success rate of regular blind dates, except in this case a computer is trying to play matchmaker. But maybe I'll blog about my issues with it another day.
Today I just wanted to point out an interesting trend. I've noticed that the vast majority of single girls on any given online dating website (who are in their mid-late 20s) are either teachers or nurses. What's up with that? Then I started looking around at the single girls I know personally, and guess what? A noteworthy number of them are teachers or nurses, or training to be.
It seems like those two career paths are giving hundreds of girls an unfair disadvantage to finding true love in their younger years. Has anyone studied this? Is anyone warning young girls of the romantic dangers of these careers choices?
Warning: A career in Teaching or Nursing is known to cause extended singleness in women.
There, that should do it.
On a related note, one of my single female friends, who has tried the dating websites from the other side, says that a lot of the guys are engineers. Hmmm. And I am a.... statistic. Go figure.

Heh.

ROTFL! Very true...
The irony is, I think a lot of us going into teaching actually had the mistaken belief that the hours would allow time for having life balance / a family!
That's hilarious! (I don't fall in any category as you can tell) : ) Anyway, I love the "warning" - I agree. Those careers are pretty "all- consuming".
