I told my friend she has a lot of red flags about her because she’s older and single. Am I terrible because I don’t feel bad?

I’m a conservative woman from Georgia married to a man from NY for a little over 15 years. My husband has a friend who is also from NY who we’ve known for about as long as we’ve been dating. She’s a very nice girl, and she’s beautiful but doesn’t date. I think it’s her fault and my husband tells me I’m wrong. We are meant to be wives and mommies, nothing more. I believe if a woman is over the age of 35 and is still not AT LEAST a wife, she has massive red flags... no excuses. This woman is still pretty, but she’s 40 and still single so something is obviously wrong with her. She tried to justify it today by listing reasons a woman is still single at an advanced age and all of them were pro woman. My response: “honey, this is bs. It’s your fault you’re single at 40. Re-examine your red flags and fix them, although to be honest it’s too late for you”. She started crying and left. I feel like all of that was her trying to convince herself that it’s okay to be single and there’s nothing wrong with her, but it’s all bullshit. She’s a good person deep down, I just wanted to give her the bad tasting medicine to make her see the actual truth. It’s too late for her to find a good man and settle down, but she can serve a purpose as an example to up and coming young women not to become like her.

I know I hurt her feelings, but I’m not sorry. I don’t feel bad for telling her the truth, but my hubby is taking her side!

I know, I’m a pick me girl, but I love men and will defend them to my death, so calling me a “pick me” girl is a compliment.

Men, don’t worry. There are still traditional women out there who only want to love, serve, please and submit to you.
