I totally agree. I hate that so many magazines/tv shows/movies make it seem like that's our main goal in life. Not careers or family or friends or education but landing a man to put a ring on our finger. What else bugs me is that I see a lot of people getting married and it seems like they're only doing it for the ring/wedding. I don't feel like they're doing it for the right reasons - just because they think that's what they should do now.

Also, today I was watching TV and saw a commercial come on for a show specifically geared towards "how to meet a husband". how awful! My current boyfriend I met because I was being my friends "wing woman" I guess lol. She wanted to go to a bar that a guy she was interested in was going to and his roommate was going to be there so I went to be the wing person and we ended up going out a few weeks later after talking and hanging out and now it's about 5 months later and we're happy.

He really likes that I don't follow all those things they tell you in magazines. Whenever he sees a girl trying to hard to look 'hot' it makes him do this disgusted face lol. He hates girls that read crap like that and aren't focused on anything but finding a guy. And he has asked me before if I was with him just because I eventually wanted the wedding and all that or if I was with him for him.

So I think to find yourself a man that will be a GOOD one...do the TOTAL OPPOSITE of what those articles tell you haha. They're just telling you how to play games. And, personally, I've been sick of that since I was 17 lol. Good luck with finding your balance!
