Plenty of guys come functional out of the package, so the opportunity cost of a lot of dysfunction-fussing-with is high.

Well, this conversation has managed to go right around in a circle:

From their perspective, you (as a woman in a largely-male group) have many more romantic prospects than they do.

Also, turning "dig a little deeper" into "a prolonged period" seems uncharitable.

Well, yes. I do in fact have many more romantic prospects than a bunch of the guys I know. Should I act like that is false?

Also, turning "dig a little deeper" into "a prolonged period" seems uncharitable.

Prolonged beyond what is enjoyable, or required for me to achieve a comfortable level of confidence that it's not going to become enjoyable soon.
