the woman quoted actually was an attractive and successful woman from NYC.

I can only wonder if she meets my standard of either?

I can pretty much guarantee she would have closed me, and 1,000 other guys like me, with her nose in the air, because we're "not good enough," or some junk like that.

Perplexing times, we live in.

probably because you don't want children, or because she was 39 and had multiple relationships that had failed and figured she had limited time to have a baby, why spend it on someone who does not want children or who would want 5 years to get to know each other?

Yes, the "no children," or many other specific screens, are fine reasons to close someone.

I do not believe that she "can't find" anyone. I do believe she dismissed and ignored 100's, if not 1,000's, of very good possible partners.

I'd say no for a few reasons:
- Not really down for the out-of-wedlock child thing (doesn't bother me if other people do that, but it's not for me)
- Never pictured raising a child as a solo activity (though i do understand that things happen and people become widowed) and I wouldn't choose that from the get-go

That being said I'm 32 and not feeling like my options are running out. Who knows if I'd feel slightly differently if I were older and unmarried.

Or, perhaps 100's, if not 1,000's, of very good possible partners dismissed or ignored her.

In any event, just because someone is a good "possible" partner doesn't mean that he is actually willing to sign on for the job.

or her husband left her when she was 35 for a younger woman...

it's enough to make a person not WANT to find a "suitable partner" but atleast to not leave it all to chance.

Would you consider it unethical if we performed a study to gather empirical data?

I believe we'll find DLion's assertion more valid within the age range of 20-40, though I think we should focus on 30-40 as those are the years when many women begin to consider these options.
