Mellie could be picked if she wanted
Prolly just has high standards like the women she describing
Nothing about standards. I do concur with you that she could be picked if she wanted , she just doesnt want to. But Its not about the ideal guy not existing or not meeting her standards. I hate to borrow this phrase from white people, but i belive the scientific phrase for the phase she is in is called, a “cock carousel”. An amusent park ride, but its made of dudes.
She will enjoy the ride, just like all the women she is lecturing, and then once she is 40 and the music stops, she’ll settle down with whoever is left.
From her perspective, why buy the cow, if you can get the milk for free? Marraige would be like her buying into the negative side of these dudes who are currently buying her sht or currently sleeping with her. There is no gain.
