Desperation Is the World’s Worst Cologne, Part 2

Jennifer Love Hewitt has already picked out three potential engagement rings from Tiffany’s. Good luck finding a guy to buy one of them for you, J Love, while you go around sharing that gem of desperate female behavior.

And, her behavior really damages the credibility of her as a dating expert. Maybe you should read her book to get ideas for what not to do.

Why are girls so desperate to get married? And why do they think that putting that desperate energy into the world will help them achieve their goal? Yes, I’m speaking as a married woman, so I don’t have to worry about the horror of being alone, but even when I was single, I was okay with it.

Don’t remember part 1? Here it is.

Desperation Is the World's Worst Cologne

I’ve told you all about my love-hate relationship with my XM subscription since the merger with Sirius. I lost my favorite channel–E! Entertinment Radio. It was replaced with Cosmo Radio, which I find to be a poor substitute. Other than the hourly list of 7 Things You Need to Know Before You Go and the Naughty News on Get in Bed each evening, there is little coverage of entertainment. I miss my entertainment news.

Anyway, as I have listened to more of the shows on Cosmo, I realized that many of the girls sound ridiculously marriage-hungry. Diana of Cosmolicious and Taylor of Wake Up are the prime offenders in this quest for the holy grail of an engagement ring. I find their near-constant soliloquizing on their need to be engaged annoying and impossible to relate to.

At first, I thought it must just be their age. They are in the their mid-20s, and I’m not that age anymore. I’m also nearly three years married, so I’m certainly not beating the streets looking for would-be suitors–Mr. Pop Culture Curmudgeon really frowns on that.

But I thought back on my 20s, and I was never the crazy “marry me” girl. I dated Mr. PCC for eight years before we got married, from the time I was 25. I was okay with waiting until we were both ready. The long period of dating never said to me that he didn’t think I was the one, and I hope he never thought I was waiting to find someone better.

Am I weird? Should I have been a diamond-hungry girl in my 20s? Or are those girls as annoying as I find them to be?

(BTW, my guess is that Taylor comes back from her Paris trip wearing a diamond ring.)

Edited to add: Yeah. It happened. Taylor got engaged in Paris. They replayed the engagement story Friday and over the weekend.
