Men and women are both equally guilty of letting their friends pressure them. This is a big reason why nice guys and girls seem to finish last so often. It takes a strong person to tell their friends to shut up.
This is so true...that's why I don't blame my friends...I blame me. I got strong later.
Years later, after I quit listening to them and got out of their vortex I found that he turned out to be a great guy and an upstanding citizen. They in turn all have divorces, criminal records and dead end jobs.
when i was young i thought there would be a line of good looking gals behind her, not so many. not so many.
when i was 50 and lost a good looking gal, i knew there would not be a line. that was much much harder to take.
we make decisions and then must live by them. 3 or 4 good decisions can turn an oceanliner around.

I don't have any major regrets in this area. Yes, there is a girl or two I wish I'd asked out instead of being shy etc. etc. one girl in college in particular. However, that led to me meeting my wife who was a great gal so I can't complain.

If you have good solid reasons, why would you have any regrets?
People with regrets are either shallow or make decisions based on superficial criteria.
Gee, maybe what you thought were good reasons at the time are no longer good now that you've had time to reflect on them.
So if someone rejects someone based on race because, at the time, they think being of two different races will make them incompatible with someone, and then years later realize it wouldn't have been such a big obstacle, does that make them shallow or superficial?

I see your point. Times change.
However, there are things that would make living with a person difficult to impossible. Many overlook them in their race to get married. Those that don't will never regret their decision.
I bet the woman who went to high school with Bill Gates and turned him down when he asked her out to the prom, is really regretting it now.
