I just think that people worry too much about these kinds of things. Im 16 and im still growing and finding who i am ,theres always a time in your life when you need to be single. It helps find out what you need, who you are, and what you wanna do in the future. ya you can get married later on nothings wrong with that. but no one should judge one another like this. there is no specific way to live your life.

All I have to say is that its ALL thanks to the Family Ladies on the right side of the stage that the CLOSE minded ladies on the left of the stage even EXIST! Do they realize they would be non-existent if their parents had the same mentality they do??? If you want to be single then be single.. If you want to be married then get married. Everyone should make their own decision without bashing the other. There are plenty of successful married women with kids and plenty of lazy ladies that are single.

i think women are ridiculous. i know i am only 14, but since i was five i always said i didnt want children. i dont think that there is anything wrong with being married. But honestly my parents have been together for 18 yrs, have 6 children, and are not married. my mother always told me that its "just a peice of paper" and that i never have to make the traditional choice. although i myself plan on getting married.. i really dont want to get married till my early 30's. i think that being in a relationship is wonderful in many shapes and forms, and more women should stay single for a while, it gives you a chance to grow and learn more about who you are as a person.

I guess the rest was cut off. I was saying,It is nice to not want anyone, and if I had it to do over... well, I don't know. But, I did it young, when most relationships don't have a chance. He ruined it, and I would not settle.He even practically got married and divorced by himself-long story. He had an affair, ignored me, etc. Oh well, and people should adopt. What a crazy world we live in. Choice is nice, but with over- population, poverty, etc., I think people are selfish who do not think of these things!

I think that relationships are over-rated. I've always dated, and was briefly married to the father of my two children. I was 17 and he was 19 when I met him. (I was 18 and 20 when I had the children). I am 49 now, and have ended most of the relationships I have been in. I give a relationship my "all", but I find that men are selfish and do not even have common sense. They then should be alone. I am pretty, confident, fit, and look young-for-my-age. I know this is shallow to say, but men are visual, and that is what they notice first. I just happen to be this way. I am also kind, giving, loving, and get the "better" guys, but I find I do not want to settle. In Canada, I find that most younger women than myself, don't even think of wanting a man, nor date. It is kind of weird to me, but I also respect them. Kids don't make anyone complete, nor a man. If I died tomorrow, I felt good being myself, for myself, and I know I was a good person.No one has to value me, but myself. I never use the word "alone", because I never feel it when I am, and I choose to be or not to be. Because I have looks, body, am kind, I have it easier, but I also get the "creeps", along with the "better " ones. I only speak to my eldest son, and his daughter. While most relationships fail, why is it so highly regarded? I've had a lot of bad employers, and dating is the same.I see someone once a week now, but could take it or leave it.(he has baggage he won't fix). It is nice to not

I thought today's show was very interesting and I would like to see a part 2 that gives the married women a chance to speak out; not being rude to single ladies or condemning their choice but defending themselves against the insulting accusations made about their choice in life. This did not seem like a discussion but more like an attack on being married and having children. It was completely one-sided and is the first time I have watched this show and felt insulted. I have no problem with women who choose to be single but I do have a problem with women who judge me as lazy, ignorant and incapable of having a career because I CHOOSE to stay at home and take care of my family. Yes, I choose to stay at home... I am not forced to. I really think there needs to be a Part 2 that gives each side EQUAL opportunities to speak and defend themselves. Also, I am not lazy, I work extremely hard and I choose to use my intelligence to make my children grow into healthy adults!!

There's nothing wrong with being single. You have the freedom to do all that you want to do but when you find yourself feeling like you're being used by guys because you expect him to love all that you do and he doesn't, dating increase, sex activities increase, feministic attitude develop. Women are naturally emotional and can not have counter parts without feeling some way for a lengthy period of time. Success doesn't replace purpose,companionship,discipline,and humbleness.marriage is a discipline. However, while single, you should find self and comfort but know that growth has no limit..The single life can have you on a stray but marriage can have you grounded

Tyra, While watching your show this afternoon, I was struck by the exclusion of a significant proportion of the female population. The discussion of single versus married women seemed to focus solely on heterosexual women. I'm from Canada and I do realize that same-sex marriage is not legal in all states, and I'm not sure if that influenced why it wasn't mentioned or not but I think it is important to recognize that this debate doesn't solely concern heterosexual women. One of the married women in particular made a comment that stood out specifically to this. After you mentioned Marisa Tomei's quote, she responded by saying something along the lines of "every woman deep down wants to find that special MAN and have children with him". I think that presented a great opportunity for you as a host to correct such gendered language - even with something so simple as commenting that same sex couples have options to start families and have children too. I'm not saying you needed to make a big issue or anything - but it is important to recognize gendered language and I think that with such a successful career and position as you have, your role as a host present a valuable opportunity to try to be inclusive. Little changes in the language you use and your responses to guest comments/statements can go a long way, and it's a relatively simple thing that can have a huge impact. As for my position, I don't have any desire to have any of my own children. If I decide to be a mother later in life, I will adopt and give a child an opportunity for a better life. I am in medical school and I would never want to give up my future career but I

Nothing is wrong with being single, nothing is wrong with being married with kids. its the persons choice wether or not if they want to be married or single, you dont choose thier lifestyle. Who said that woman have to get married and have kids? how do we know for sure thats how things are supposed to be? No we dont know. i really dont like when anybody just decides these kind of things and try to tell people how things should be.. it really is sad.

i just watched the show. totally still blows my mind,the narrow mindedness of many! it is none of anybody's business what each of us choose as the right choice for our own lives. if people have the foresight, courage, unselfishness enough to know that they do not/could not/live with the everyday responsibilities of parenthood, they shoud get a medal! rather than those (fathers and mothers)unlicenced, selfish, deplorable, often drug adicted bastards who pop kids out like frkn pez dispensers and don't have the decency to actually parent these children, leaving to the rest of society to deal with the unfortunate results of their ability to breed! it is sick and sad reality. but for those who choose not to bring more children into this already populated world, bravo to you for knowing yourselves well enough to make responsible choices. i have been a wife twice, gave up everything, married for love both times (1st time at 18, 2nd time at 24) and got poorer with each divorce! when i finally got my bachelor degree it took 10 years whereas my ex got his in the usual 4 years timeframe...who made the necesary sacrifices for the sake of the child's needs?hmmm my son is now 21 year old. the demands of parenting are never-ending (i still need my7 mama!lol)and all-consuming. the sacrifice is HUGE! and some children are more demanding (whether they have medical special needs or just temperments) as are some husbands! and we don not know these surprises until we seal the deal! no refunds as the one guest stated! lol we cant divorce our kids...and we can't give them to the spca! lol and our unique personalities are also a factor that should be part of the overall equasion of marriage and children but often is omitted when

Furthermore, the married women's panel was not made up of intelligent, educated women that could state good reasons for being married. They chose a woman who had plastic surgery to look better to a man, and wanted to have a baby regardless of love. This seems idiotic to anyone... no matter which side. The married women were represented by less than reputable women, while the single women were represented by the minority of extremely successful women like the big time record producer. Tyra was very biased.. and it seems to me she was trying to justify herself being single in her 30's and not truely help other women.

and furthermore, some of the married women were ridiculous... like wanting to have plastic surgery to attract a man and wanting to have a baby regardless of love... this concept would seem stupid to anyone no matter which side they were on. Seemed to me like Tyra was very biased and made one side look great and the other bad. Possibly based upon her own situation and how she has been accused of being a lesbian because she isn't married? To me...it just seems like she is trying to justify her being single for her own benefit.

Does anyone else think that the panels were unfairly picked to perceive the married women as bad? It seemed to me like the the single women were set up to be the "winners" by the Tyra show based on their extreme success and eloquence.

Continued..conform to what society say"s is the "NORM"? Why is it that having kids before I get married is the norm or that having 4-5 kids all by the age of 20 and out of wedlock, or getting married before getting a college education or work skills under your belt considered the norm? What ever happened to go to college, get a degree and live life a little before you make such life changing decisions? To all the people that ask the questions and make the comments to single people just know that we can throw it right back at ya. I can ask questions like " do you like being poked, prodded, on probed on a daily basis in the middle of the night by your husband all the time, when you have to get up early in the morning to cater to your husbands needs and your children's needs"?, "What made you get married"?, " Aren't you tired of putting yourself last"? " Aren't you tired of smelling his bad breath in the middle of the night"? and "Do you ever have any down time for yourself" " do you ever feel like just running away" ? I don't ask these question's because I'm mindful of another one's choices and what is good for me, may not be good for another. So please keep in mind, before you feel so free to ask questions like this, as if you have a right,just know that what's good for the goose is good for the gander! Why should what I do with my life be of any concern to you unless it directly affects you? I don't judge you for your decisions, don't judge me for mine's. It doesn't make me any less of a person nor does it make

For all the single laidies on todays show. read the Bible it will tell you why you are here. We will be praying for you.
