"Dear stranger, first of all, congratulations on your birthday. Birthdays really are a double-edged sword; tonight, you officially join the ranks of 'old-maids'.

"You must remember this: men generally won't pursue women over 27, even if she owns a house and a car, and is attractive.
"Women over 27 are leftovers—discarded and unwanted. If a man marries such a woman, he's basically settling the bills for all her ex-boyfriends.
"After 27, women mostly lose their figures, wrinkles start to appear, and one year into the marriage, they morph into a mom.
