Numerous bloggers (I link only a handful) over the weekend have picked up on this bit of silliness, in the London Times, by Kate Mulvey: What modern women want: a beta male. They've all noticed the same thing I did -- the poor girl seems to think that, because she is educated and financially successful, she should be considered a prize catch by all the rational men of the world, but, somehow, twoo wuv always eludes her by the second date.
She seems to think it's all the fault of those men who want a purty young thang to hang on their arms, rather than the fact that she's self-absorbed and professionally obsessed.
Katey-pie, when you learn to grow up and get over yourself, maybe an alpha male will learn to respect you, and you might be able to develop a worthwhile relationship with a good man. Or, you can settle for being a spoiled, lonely little girl in an old lady's body, for the rest of your life.
After all, science has proven* that the universe has no center; therefore you cannot be it.
*okay, "proven" is probably too strong a word... but then, I never pretended to understand the math part of astrophysics. so sue me. ;-)
