s/o spinster...It's poll time!

How old do you have to be before you are considered a spinster?
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

  • 23. At least that's what the girls on S&R tell me. Stick out tongue
  • Of legal age to have a lifetime of hot lesbian sex with your same-sex spouse or domestic partner?

    lol. Anything older than you were when you got married, huh?

  • Hmm...  I've been a spinster all these years. Who knew!
  • Sooo... 18, fuss?

     

    Jennifer- Glad you stopped by. I have a question for you. How do you know you orgasmed in your sleep? It woke you up?

  • If you're in a state that touches the Gulf of Mexico, you're doomed and your eggs will shrivel and die if you haven't met at least 1 of your Prince Charmings' by 19.  I believe that the age for Spinsterdom gets progressively higher the further North you go.

  • General consensus among older members of the church I grew up in is that if you graduate from Christian college without "meeting your mate" you are automatically a spinster because you can't marry a heathen. So, 21-22. Older if you go to grad school.

    (That is only half a joke.) 

    If you don't go to college you're screwed and had better marry your high school sweetheart OR seek out an older opposite-sex spinster who managed to get through college unattached. Case in point the 21 year old girl I know who is dating a 30 year old man, and 12/25/2011 was their FOURTH Christmas together.

    Well, according to my DVD of of "Smokin' Slutty Spinsters 9," YES!

  • Jane Austen said 27 and im pretty sure she was the expert on that subject. Its also how old I am now so yeah...

  • Fuss, you are killing me.

     

    Follow-up question:  Once a spinster, always a spinster? Or can you reform if you get married?

    Absolutely reformable! It's one of MANY of life's problem situations that can be solved immediately and permanently by lashing yourself to a man! At least according to TK...

    Jennifer- Glad you stopped by. I have a question for you. How do you know you orgasmed in your sleep? It woke you up? 

    Yup. I woke up expecting to find my hands down my pants, but they were by my side. 

  • But what happens if you marry and divorce or become a widow? Will you then be thrust into spinsterdom, or since you were married before, it protects you from such a fate?

    Yes, to be a spinster means that no man has ever wanted you, therefore you suck at life.

    If you're divorced or widowed, you're OK, because a man wanted you at least at one time. Especially if you're divorced, it's probably the man's fault.

    Nice. You have special talents, Grasshopper. Use them wisely.

  • My marriage certificate says that I'm a spinster.

    On September 5, 2005, the Registrar General in England and Wales officially abolished the traditional terms of "bachelor" and "spinster" and substituted the more politically correct "single" to coincide with the reform that introduced civil partnerships, explaining, "The word single will be used to mean a couple who has never been through a marriage or civil partnership."
     
    I got married in '03.

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • My grandma worried that I was going to be an 'old maid' because I didn't have an engagment ring by the time I was 18.  She died thinking I was doomed to spinsterdom.

    Oh, the shame!

    Funny how "bachelor" never has had any negative connotations. Unless someone is talking about how often said man cleans his toilet. Even then, it's totally acceptable for a bachelor to have a nasty apartment. He's a bachelor. A spinster could never get away with that.

    I hope your toilet is sparkling, LTP.

    And in just a few more years' time they made it such that whatever crotchfruit first tumbles out of Kate Middleton's vag will be the monarch someday, male or female. So forward-thinking!

    What if the person who is giving you the label does not know you were divorced or widowed? 

  •  It only took me only 3 years to become a bronze poster and this it it?!?
  • According to my mom, like 25.

  • Well, according to so many posts here on TN, 30 is too old to get married/have kids, so I guess 30? *grabs cane and hobbles to the bathroom to put in my teeth*
    Oh, FFS.
