Mormon woman in your 30s and single?

I don't know too many Mormons personally nor am I Mormon (so I can't really relate to what are surely finer points of being Mormon), but this article in the NYT, "Single, Female, Mormon, Alone" is rather amusing.
"So why wasn’t I dating Mormon men? In a nutshell, the pool is small, and people marry young, for obvious reasons. The leftovers were left over: closeted gay men, porn-addicted virgins, along with the merely awkward, uncompromising and unlucky."
Heh.  That's pretty funny stuff, in my book.

The target audience of the article however, is not entirely limited to single, female, Mormon women.  And the article is not meant to be a humor piece in and of itself.  I think it was meant for a broader audience with a wide, meaningful message: Enjoy and explore this ephemeral life, lest you die never knowing or seeing or feeling all that can be felt or understood.

I can relate to that.  Who can't?
