I realize one reason you(we) stay single is because you(we) want to. Hey, there's nothing wrong about that! I, for one, value my independence where I can come and go as I please. Relationships take a truckload of commitment and I wouldn't dare push some people to marry and procreate to even my worst of enemies. Besides, I have seen some marriages that were pretty much the most "unholiest" unions rivaling Ike & Tina or The Hills' alums, Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt.
But as some of you so eloquently put it, "it's the guys in our dating pool that keep us single." I couldn't agree with you more. So, let's analyse one of your "types" that make it easy for you to prolong your single shelf life.
I'm sure with 11.7 million viewers watching the Bachelorette's final rose ceremony, I know there were a few of you ladies sprinkled amongst the viewers. Who am I kidding? You were blowin' up the Twitter and Facebook feeds, so I know you are familiar with The Wes.
The Wes is somewhat of a charmer. If you could compare him to one of your guy friends, he probably was the top earner over at Pinnacle Security this summer. Ambitious, but selfish. He might not be the most attractive guy, but he's got a certain "Je ne sai quoi" that can get you all hot and bothered. You might be the most attractive honey on the block, but if you are in anyway useful in helping him get to the top, he will use, use, use you. If you do eventually marry this type, you soon become what is called The Starter Wife. As much as you have learned about the Man Code (true.) this past season, looking for a snitch to help you out is pretty much a crap shoot. Your best bet could be the super creepy guy that has crushed on you (and your feet) for the past couple of years. Ask him, he already knows everything about you. Also listen for the sound of the collective DOH! from your girlfriends everytime he sweet talks you with his soothing accent.
I know The Wes might be the man of your dreams, but ask him about some of his big plans. If you are an afterthought in this equation, make him an afterthought in your relationship. You can do better. I just know there will be Reid (sorry Ed, cheaters don't win here...) right around the next corner.

i'm just ridiculously enthused that you have such an extensive knowledge of the bachelor. bravo.
Oh yes, the guy who has such a beautiful and committed relationship with himself that any other romantic interests will sooner or later feel like they are the other woman (or would person be more appropriate here?).
Anyways, I laughed out loud when you mentioned Pinacle Security. Those guys show up at my ward too...
you're back! I was about to give up, this blog went private for a while. Don't do that again.... I was missing some laughs.....
The "charm"... get's me every time!
Do you think you can discuss the mr. mysterio and lone wolf phenomenon? I still am baffled...
Are we going to see some more posts, or what?
Why Mormon Girls REALLY stay single
1. They're fat
2. They're ugly
3. They won't "put out"
4. They're in love with their moms
5. They're waiting for team Edward or team werewolf guy to come save them (HINT: THEY DON'T EXIST!!!)
6. They believe that crap about a single sister getting into heaven if all she does is eat chocolates all day and watch A Knights Tale over, and over, and over . . .
7. They "value their independence" -- which is actually code for a closet lesbian, #1 or #2 on the list, or some girl who got dumped by an RM and thinks all guys are scum (but is secretly awaiting the return of said RM).
8. The sister in question is a "bad girl" who only dates nonmembers (and goes to "third" on Saturday but feels guilty on Sunday) but who can't marry them in the temple.
9. They were married but freaked out and divorced the guy after 8 months and now live on a cuisine of Weight Watchers and Tahitian Noni.
10. They're cute, loving, and willing but haven't found the right guy. These usually don't stay single for long.
