For those who are too young to know, the title is an allusion to a Paula Cole song.
There is an incredible phenomena which I have been observing for quite some while. After a certain age, around the mid-twenties, single women stop socializing and hibernate in their homes. Socializing almost always costs some money, but don't we supposedly live in an age of the "independent woman?" (rolls eyes).
If you notice, it's incredibly rare almost to the point of non-existence, just a little more common than spotting the Loch Ness Monster, to spot a woman flying solo by herself out in public. I briefly thought this was because of a fear of being hurt by a stranger, but it's really loneliness. Most women have no inner mental life and can't bear being alone in their own vapid thoughts -- what's the first thing many do when leaving work or getting out of class, they whip out their cell phones and proceed to talk about nothing. The fear of being hurt in public is mostly exaggerated as statistics prove it's generally much safer being in a crowd of strangers than your friends and family; statistically speaking, you are the most likely person to harm yourself, second are people who you know, and only third are strangers.
As a chick's circle of friends slowly get married, it's as if they withdraw from socializing because they have nobody to hang out with -- a woman once described feeling like a leper -- and flying solo was never in their vocabulary of socializing. Other than men's biologically-ingrained preference for youthful fertility, this explains why guys go for younger chicks: you see young chicks, you don't really see older women except maybe for grocery stores and packs of cougars sipping martinis. (One random observation: older women are prone to spontaneously dancing with their girlfriends to some cheesy music in a restaurant bar because nobody is paying attention. Young cute chicks simply walk into a bar and they get all the attention they crave.)
All this is ironic because society is the book of woman. Women are much more socially-orientated than men; men are independent, women need social coalitions; maybe it's because of these properties that women become less social than men.
