Sex in the Shreveport

Are there any women in Shreveport that are remotely like the four on Sex in the City? I really don't know. I do know, however, that IF there aren't it's because they've already gotten married and are living in the suburbs. Am I the only one to notice how young everyone gets married in northwest LA?

Why do people do that? My theory is the "Hurry before all the good ones are gone" mentality reigns here. See, everyone needs to stick to the new "Let's be adults first" plan, but everyone has to play or it doesn't work... people get panicky. It's like playing chicken... the first one that jumps looses (by settling too soon) but at least their settled. No one wants to be the last man standing when teams are being selected, right? That is just basic playground rules. But can't we at least try, people? Try to have some real, live single grown-ups here in Shreveport?

Alas, I was a young jumper, which may be the reason I'm on husband number 2. Why did I take the plunge at the ripe old age of 23? Um... I can't remember. Seemed like the right thing to do at the time, I guess. See... that is the problem! If it seemed like a dumb move to get hitched that early, more young 20's wouldn't. They would have time to figure out who they are as an adult instead of living through the teen crisis years, just reaching adulthood and making a decision based on their experience, mainly as a teen, that will drastically change their lives (and possibly their children's lives) forever. If they stuck to the "Let's be adults first" plan they would develop their career, maybe acquire more schooling to enhance their career, and mature in their personal life and be better functioning members of society. Shreveport could use a flood of 20 and 30's like that...

That is sexy!
