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
Re: s/o spinster...It's poll time!
lol. Anything older than you were when you got married, huh?
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?
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!
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...
Yup. I woke up expecting to find my hands down my pants, but they were by my side.
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.
Thank goodness there are men around to save our souls.
My marriage certificate says that I'm a spinster.
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.
lol, I was all like WHATTHEFUCK at the registrar's office.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
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?
According to my mom, like 25.
