Jeff:  At the last wedding reception I was at, when the bride threw the
bouqet, all the single women gathered 'round, including me.  I guess we
were all thinking someone else would try for it and none of us would have to
make a big deal about not getting up there.  Well, the bride threw it
and it landed flat on the floor, with noone making any attempt to get it.
It was pretty funny.  We were all in our twenties, and none of us had ever
been married.  I think the fact that we were not too interested in marriage
had a lot to do with the fact that we women knew about 10 single men for
every single woman.  In other words, we met a lot of guys who were really
interested in a relationship with a woman -- any woman -- since there were
so few around.  On the other hand, we weren't too interested since we
saw how anxious they were to get into a relationship.  The pressure made it
unappealing.  I think a lot of people tend to react to pressure, one way
or the other.  It just depends on which side of the fence you're on.
