1. i don't know about this but it sounds fun.

an added twist to the tupperware party.
2. people are finding that they'd rather be financially stable and able to stand on their own two feet BEFORE entering a relationship where everything is shared. it's not about finding the rich man to support you anymore.. or anyone to support you. it's about supporting yourself on your own, then joining your partner for added support.
3. i suggest you worry about your own trends than the people around you. find out your pattern. who do you tend to date? what are you drawn to?
4. my views on marriage are already cynical regardless of who breaks up with who. i think collectively, as a society, i'm aware of the trends to make me stop to think about marriage in general. i think if you can find what works for you, then you shouldn't be concerned with societies lackluster marriages/divorces. but in the mean time, remain skeptical.
