These women are leftover" because they are "too successful" and therefore have high standards when it comes to picking their lifelong partners. They arc free and able to live independently, which was not so possible for previous generations.

Because these days. the amulet oversensitive and personal information you keep in your phone may actually be more valuable than what you leave in your house. So, tor your own sake, fire up that Smartphone and sct a secure pass code, and do it right now.
