Why Do Ppl Think an Attractive 40ish Year Old Single Woman Is g*y?

Question

She has a beautiful personality and friends and doesn't want to get married???

Why do people assume you are g*y, if you are not married.......

Look at Tyra Banks, Dianne Keaton, Oprah all unmarried and loving life.....................

Answer 1

I can't imagine why this would bother you unless you think being g*y is a bad thing.

Answer 2

Historically a woman isn't complete without a man.  medieval times if a woman wasn't married before 18 she was shipped off to the convents.

Every woman wants and needs a man! Every woman has to get married. Must be something wrong with her!  (sarcasm)

Answer 3

What is telling about where this woman is in her journey is how unusual it is for a forty-year old woman to care so much about what others think about her.  Scope out Erikson's developmental stages and see how worrying about what others think about them, and especially think about their "roles", gender or otherwise, is typically the challenge of adolescents in the "Role vs, Identity Confusion" developmental stage.  Sometimes when we are doing  reassessment of ourselves at around forty, for women, we remember back to our earlier stages of development and re-visit them.  I did that recently myself over a similar issue.  That's a healthy mechanism, to re-visit our earlier stages of development and honestly re-examine our feelings and decisions made then from the MUCH more mature and rational adult perspective that we have as older women.  When this woman finishes looking up her own skirts, so to say, she will remember that she is, in the final crux of it all, the true captain of her own soul and it will not matter again to her what others think about her.  (What's so wrong with being g*y or single?)  Carpe Diem.

Answer 4

People just tend to think that, if you're not married by a certain age, that you must therefore not be interested in the opposite s*x.  Most of the population -- particularly so among women -- aspires to get married some day, so some will just figure that there must be something "wrong" with you if you aren't.

Being single is supposed to suck because you're all alone all the time, so you must just be g*y.  A lot of people can't seem to fathom your apparent happiness as a single person since they were miserable single, so there must be something else going on.

As far as what the problem is with having people think you're g*y as has been mentioned before. . . that's still very awkward in large parts of the world, regardless of how you personally feel about it or think the world should be.  You just really don't want people thinking you're g*y unless you really are.

Answer 5

Not everybody thinks that way.

Answer 6

The same reason people think a single man is g*y.

What if you have little or no interest in s*x? Same thing. People will think that they are g*y. It's childish and stupid so who cares?

Let them think whatever the h**l they want. You know the truth and that's all that matters.

Answer 7

Who accused them of being g*y??

I'm sorry, but your question is a little vague being supplemented by a fallacy.

Answer 8

I would not assume she is g*y, I would assume she is neurotic or manipulative.

Answer 9

I thought we were all supposed to think that men were just intimidated by females like that.

Answer 10

I'm in that age group lol. It's been my experience that if you turn any man down they start calling you"g*y". They just can't seem to understand that in the US a woman is not obligated to go out with a man , or even give him her name, just because he asks her.

Answer 11

People assume the same thing about men.  If you approach 40 and have never been married, it's a comment that is likely to come up, whether male or female.

Answer 12

i can't imagine why people would think this. i know several single attractive straight women who are older than 40. they probably get more action than me too :-)

Answer 13

i was married but now i'm not. i'm twenty-six, in a relationship with a man, have a daughter, have no intention of marrying again(my divorce was too painful that i know i never want to go through it again) and some members of my family have accused me of being g*y.

Answer 14

Because some people don't think before they speak.
