Now I don't just mean the Barry Schwartz definition of choice or the Journal of Consumer Research and how our selection of steak sauce at the supermarket makes us unhappy. There's a lot of studies that have refuted the gut-check belief that having more choices necessarily equates to more happiness -- as counterintuitive as that sounds.
To put a corollary in Sheik terms: are arranged marriages necessarily worse than Western ones?
Depends on what you're optimizing. While I feel almost a kind of patronizing pity and rescue instinct for the zombified woman who talks about her glorious subservience to God and "her man", I think it's a bit simplistic to assume that I necessarily have the secrets to her happiness and she does not. Often, that isn't the case.

i was living under the impression they would know my age when they ask me god why were u in uni for that long?!?1 although i've thought of this deeply i think this is more a point in my favour than against me. i can easily prove i'm a committed individual and one that does'nt buckle under pressure but for some reason i got it in my head my age might influence there chances even though i would be considered a fresh graduate.
deneb dont we put the age in our c.v or thats optional?

I was just joking with you I would like to think my opinion is sound and educated, we are lucky enough to live in societies where most choices are acceptable and easy-ish to pursue, no one should feel forced into being a housewife or forced into a PhD.

There's no such thing as a real choice in that case.

You were supposed to say yes so we could stick it to Abel.

well put, would you agree that the distinction is knowing what makes us happy and be ok with it as opposed to trying to adhere to what should make us happy. example: what i really want is a loose girl, but what i should want is a 'good' one.
In a way yes, in a way no. PhDs are a different beast to the MBA, but aren't you still working in your field/working towards a goal when you do one of those, even if you feel you need too much education to get there? Being forced to be a housewife is more active in denying you a goal, while the MBA is an added hassle on the path to the goal, if it's what you want.

it's actually illegal to discuss age, before or during employment
although i'm not one to boost confidence really or else i would've made a move and changed major when i had the chance i for some reason have loads of belief in my self owning an interview it comes down to being prepared and being smart with how u handle the questions being barged at you.---------- Post added 19.04.2012 at 20:40 ----------
i'm glad u pointed this out to me Deneb, bec i never knew that to be honest bro. i thought they asked u about this too. ah well age is a number really its what u have a potential of doing that gives u the edge not when u were born.

That's what I said earlier about what bothers me, it's not that she wants to be one, it's that she validates that with "it's what we do in my family" and it makes me wonder if she doesn't have a choice. Oh well, let them all make their own mistakes, just like I do.
i agree with that for sure. in that case its not much of being forced to get one but more sth you need to get on to get to your goal that u set for yr self.
It is irritating the amount of hoops one needs to jump through.

guess we now know who the sophist among us is
