After trying for an entire decade, the daughter of a family friend , let's call her "P" - simply gave up. She's a doctor, and every guy she met up with wants her to be progressive enough to earn a lot and sleep with him before they are married, but traditional enough to center her entire life around him - moves cities if required, bear 2 children, look after the household and the elders. P is just one of many.
Several others, now in their late 30s or early 40s have simply given up. 2/n
