I just realized I didn't answer these questions!
What do you get out of this advice?
I see that many dominant thoughts in society revolve around women being helpless, hopeless romantics who want to find a man and nab him for life. I thought this was only prevalent in the LDS community that I experienced growing up. Looks like I was wrong.
Are you bothered?
Yes. Very.
Do you benefit from it?
I suppose I do. It helps me to understand a few female friends who are trapped in the "I want a family but I'm 27 and a virgin and don't have any prospects for a husband".
Do you find that it plays up to stereotypes?
Sure. Too many of them. It makes all of the men out to be jerks, only interested in sex. It makes women out to be hopeless ambitionless imbiciles.
Do you think something entirely different?
I think that women are much more intelligent about their decisions than they're given credit.
