Casi como muchas mujeres de más de treinta casan por miedo de estar
solo algún día, como aquellos que se casan por amor
Almost as many women over thirty marry out of fear of being alone someday.
As those that marry for love.

Oh boy ! What a generalisation , but she may have a point.
What has been your experience, if any, of this sweeping provocative statement?
Give it a blast in both languages, be provocative if you want , but be kind to all.
Her full statement.
I believe that as many women over thirty marry out of fear of being alone someday--not necessarily now but some day--as for love of or compatibility with a particular man. The plan seems to be to get someone while the getting's good and by the time you lose your looks he'll be too securely glued to you to get away. Isn't it silly? A man can leave a woman at fifty (though it may cost him some dough) as surely as you can leave dishes in the sink. . . . Then you have it all to do over again as if you hadn't gobbled him up in girlish haste.
