it really isn't exclusive to women. yes, perhaps there's more leeway than dictating a certain age but the stigma increases year by year with queries as to whether you will actually settle down.
There's also a stigma against one half of a married couple (usually opposite sex, haven't seen this behaviour with same sex couples yet but it probably exists) being friends with a single person of a certain age - the implication being they simply shag around and will tempt the married person into undesirable behaviour..
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
